Summary: The study found that moderate and late preterm birth is associated with increased risks of low performance in mathematics and English language arts, chronic absenteeism, and suspension in young children, with the impact being most significant in late elementary school but diminishing in later grades.

Summary: This study compared data on moderately preterm and late preterm infants with CP, finding that moderately preterm infants were more likely to have early neonatal problems and certain outcomes were closely related to birth weight. The majority had bilateral spastic CP, with white matter lesions being the predominant neuroimaging finding.

Summary: With the increasing number of pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Korea, the shortage of negative-pressure isolation rooms for newborns poses challenges in hospital assignment. However, the overall outcomes of infants born to SARS-CoV-2-positive mothers are favorable, with a low percentage presenting with respiratory distress or feeding intolerance. Selectively using negative-pressure isolation rooms for high-risk cases may improve resource availability for lower-risk cases.

Summary: This study aimed to compare maximal expiratory airflow in children and adults born MLP with term-born controls and with expected norms. The results showed that MLP participants had lower expiratory airflow compared to controls.

Summary: This study found that preterm infants born to mothers with diabetes showed lower cognitive and language scores, but there was no significant difference in neurodevelopmental outcomes compared to preterm infants without maternal diabetes.

Summary: This retrospective study evaluated the short-term morbidity and mortality of late preterm infants and identified predictors of adverse outcomes. The most common complications were respiratory complications, followed by CNS morbidity, infections, and jaundice requiring phototherapy. Birth weight and male sex were significantly associated with respiratory morbidity, while gestational weeks and male sex were associated with infectious morbidity. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the epidemiology of late preterm births and optimizing clinical decision-making to reduce neonatal morbidity.

Summary: This study compared the parenting environment and the relationships between parenting behaviors and neurobehavioral outcomes at 2 years of corrected age between children born moderate-to-late preterm and at term. The results showed that parenting behaviors were important for neurobehavioral outcomes in both groups, with language development being more strongly influenced by select parenting behaviors in children born moderate-to-late preterm.

Summary: Nirsevimab, a monoclonal antibody, effectively prevents hospitalization and severe lower respiratory tract infection in term and late-preterm infants caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Summary: Preterm infants are at high risk of long-term motor and neurocognitive deficits. Structural MRI at birth does not accurately predict outcomes, suggesting the importance of thalamocortical connections in neurocognitive development during the perinatal period.

Summary: With the increasing survival rate of infants born extremely preterm, more individuals are now reaching adulthood. While these individuals may experience more developmental delays and disabilities in early childhood and school age, health problems regarding physical and mental health become more evident as they age. Nonetheless, it is reassuring that self-reported quality of life remains good.

Summary: This study found that lipid emulsions containing fish oil can improve the neurodevelopmental outcomes of premature infants, especially at ages two and five, with significant reductions in the prevalence of diseases such as ADHD and ASD.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between neighborhood risk and neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants. The results showed that infants living in high-risk neighborhoods had a greater risk of NDI, cognitive delay, and language delay. Breast milk at discharge was more common in low-risk neighborhoods and had a protective effect.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of a multihospital collaborative project on clinical outcomes for preterm infants. The results showed that providing in situ simulation training did not result in significant improvement in survival without chronic lung disease for these infants. However, ongoing in situ simulations may have an impact on unit practice and unmeasured outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the impact of pain on neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants born preterm. Retrospective data analysis was conducted on preterm infants with a gestational age between 23 and 32 weeks, who were assessed using pain scales and examined at 1 year of age. The results showed significant differences in mental and motor development between the group with pain and the group without. Proper pain management is crucial to reduce the risk of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes in these vulnerable patients.

Summary: A single injection of nirsevimab administered before the RSV season protected healthy late-preterm and term infants from medically attended RSV-associated lower respiratory tract infection.

Summary: Child mortality was lower in 2020 compared to 2019 in England. Children who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 were more likely to be non-white and older. The all-cause mortality rates during lockdown were similar to both the pre-lockdown period in 2020 and a similar period in 2019.

Summary: The study examined childhood deaths in England during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the previous year, finding a reduction in overall mortality, particularly in deaths from infection and underlying medical conditions. This suggests potential alternative ways to improve outcomes for vulnerable children.
