Mashup Score: 19Unravelling the respiratory health path across the lifespan for survivors of preterm birth - 6 month(s) ago
Many survivors of preterm birth will have abnormal lung development, reduced peak lung function and, potentially, an increased rate of physiological lung function decline, each of which places them at increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease across the lifespan. Current rates of preterm birth indicate that by the year 2040, around 50 years since the introduction of surfactant therapy, more than 700 million individuals will have been born prematurely—a number that will continue to increase by about 15 million annually.

Mashup Score: 1Caffeine versus other methylxanthines for the prevention and treatment of apnea in preterm infants - Moresco, L - 2023 | Cochrane Library - 7 month(s) ago
Collapse all Expand all Background Methylxanthines, including caffeine, theophylline, and aminophylline, work as stimulants of the respiratory drive, and decrease apnea of prematurity, a developmental disorder common in preterm infants. In particular, caffeine has been reported to improve important clinical outcomes, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and neurodevelopmental…

Mashup Score: 3Musical and vocal interventions to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes for preterm infants - Haslbeck, FB - 2023 | Cochrane Library - 8 month(s) ago
Collapse all Expand all Background Preterm birth interferes with brain maturation, and subsequent clinical events and interventions may have additional deleterious effects. Music as therapy is offered increasingly in neonatal intensive care units aiming to improve health outcomes and quality of life for both preterm infants and the well‐being of their parents. Systematic reviews of mixed…

Mashup Score: 0WHO recommendations for care of preterm or low birthweight infants - 9 month(s) ago
Preterm and low birthweight infants are subject to poorer overall health, development, and survival with complications of preterm birth being the leading cause of under 5 mortality. New evidence has emerged on the effectiveness of interventions for care of these infants since previous guidelines were published in 2015. Following convening of an expert panel, WHO published “Recommendations for Care of the Preterm or Low Birthweight Infant” on World Prematurity Day in November 2022. Now, in this new Series

Mashup Score: 3Probiotics to prevent necrotising enterocolitis in very preterm or very low birth weight infants - Sharif, S - 2023 | Cochrane Library - 9 month(s) ago
Collapse all Expand all Background Intestinal dysbiosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in very preterm or very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Dietary supplementation with probiotics to modulate the intestinal microbiome has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the risk of NEC and associated mortality and morbidity in very preterm or VLBW infants. …
