Meta-analysis of neurobehavioral outcomes in very preterm and/or very low birth weight children.

25 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: Sequelae of academic underachievement, behavioral problems, and poor executive function (EF) have been extensively reported for very preterm (Read more...

Erythropoietin improved neurologic outcomes in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

25 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erythropoietin in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), by using a randomized, prospective study design. METHODS: A total of 167 term infants with ... Read more...

Functional outcome at school age of preterm infants with periventricular hemorrhagic infarction.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to determine motor, cognitive, and behavioral outcome at school age in preterm children with periventricular hemorrhagic infarction and to identify cerebral risk factors for adverse outcome. METHODS: This was a ... Read more...
