Effects of individualized developmental care in a randomized trial of preterm infants <32 weeks.

26 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The goal was to investigate the effects of the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) on days of respiratory support and intensive care, growth, and neuromotor development at term age for infants born at ... Read more...

Higher cumulative doses of erythropoietin and developmental outcomes in preterm infants.

26 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that higher cumulative doses of recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) for extremely preterm infants during the first 6 postnatal weeks would improve developmental outcomes, as evidenced in evaluations with the Bayley Scales of ... Read more...

Growth factors, inflammatory cytokines and postnatal bone strength in preterm infants.

30 Jul 2009 AIM: To assess the relationships between growth factors, inflammatory cytokines and postnatal bone development in preterm infants. METHODS: Fifty premature infants (24-32 weeks gestational age, mean birth weight: 1,024 +/- 50 g) participated in the ... Read more...
