PaCO2 and neurodevelopment in extremely low birth weight infants.

15 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between PaCO2 in the first 4 days of life and neurodevelopment at 18 to 22 months. STUDY DESIGN: Stepwise regression and exhaustive CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector) analyses were done for ... Read more...

First-week protein and energy intakes are associated with 18-month developmental outcomes in extremely low birth weight infants.

29 Apr 2009 OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the association between early protein and energy intake and neurodevelopment and growth of extremely low birth weight (<1000 g) infants. STUDY DESIGN: Daily protein and energy intakes were collected by chart review ... Read more...

Stability of neuromotor outcomes at 18 and 30 months of age after extremely low birth weight status.

29 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND: Extremely low birth weight (< or =1000 g) children have increased rates of cerebral palsy and other abnormal neurologic findings. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the stability of neuromotor findings between 18 and 30 months' adjusted age in ... Read more...
