Chronic lung disease in prematurely born infants, defined as the need for increased inspired oxygen at 28 days of age, was thought to be more common in some institutions than in others. To test this hypothesis, we surveyed the experience in the intensive care nurseries at Columbia and Vanderbilt Universities, the Universities of Texas at Dallas, Washington at Seattle, and California at San Francisco, the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, and Mt Sinai Hospital in Toronto. The survey included 1,625 infants with birth weights of 700 to 1,500 g. We confirmed the relationship of risk to low birth weight, white race, and male sex. Significant differences in the incidence of chronic lung disease were found between institutions even when birth weight, race, and sex were taken into consideration through a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Columbia had one of the best outcomes for low birth weight infants and the lowest incidence of chronic lung disease.

Background: Our program of research focuses on thermal and circulatory stability in extremely premature infants. In prior studies, we found that infants have long periods of time in which foot temperature (FT) is higher than central temperature. We thus wanted to determine whether blood flow in the foot is increased when FT is elevated. Perfusion index (PI) can be used as a clinical indicator of peripheral perfusion, but reports on use of PI in premature infants are lacking. We employed exploratory methodology to examine foot perfusion and temperature in very low birth weight infants. Aims: For premature infants after birth: (1) describe foot PI values for the first 2 weeks of life and (2) describe the relationship of longitudinal FT and PI. Study Design: Case study design with longitudinal FT and PI in 17 infants born at <29 weeks’ gestation with birth weight < 1,200 g for 2 weeks after birth. Results: Infants averaged 851 g at birth and were 24–29 weeks’ gestational age. The mean PI across all infants for 14 days was 1.04, SD = 0.79. Using a repeated measures multilevel model approach confirmed that FT and PI were positively related in these infants. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that perfusion is increased in the periphery in extremely premature infants when FT is increased. PI measures can be used as a trend for peripheral perfusion, and these values increase over the first 2 weeks of life in infants weighing more than 750 g.

Introduction: Anemia is one of the most common disorders affecting the pregnant women in the developing countries like Nepal. Anemia during pregnancy is commonly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Identifying anemia in pregnancy and knowing its common complications will help improve maternal quality care. Objectives: The objective - was to  assess the effects of anemia on pregnancy outcome at Manipal Teaching Hospital Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted in Manipal Teaching Hospital from September 2019 to April 2020. A total of 200 anemic pregnantladies  attending obstetrics Out Patient Department were selected.Hemoglobinlevel was taken as criteria for deciding anemia and  to classify  severity of anemia.Anemia in pregnancy is defined by World Health Organization as hemoglobin level less than 11 gm/dl, and hemoglobin concentration of 10–10.9 g/dl, 7–9.9 g/dl, and <7 g/ dl was considered as mild, moderate, and severe anemia, respectively . All were treated depending on severity of anemia and followed up for maternal and perinatal outcome.Data was collected in Microsoft Excel and analyzed by using SPSS version 16. Result: We found moderate anemia in 129 (64.5%) cases followed by mild in 61(30.5%) and severe in 10(5%) cases. Common maternal complications in anemic patients werepremature rupture of membranein 30 (15%) cases and Urinary Tract Infection in 30(15%) cases.During puerperiumPostpartum Hemorrhage was observed in 12(6%) and wound infection in 9 (4.5%) cases of anemic patient. High incidence of adverse fetal outcome in the form of preterm in 39 (19.5%), Intrauterine growth restrictionin 23(11.5%), Intensive Care Unitadmission in28(14%),low birth weight in41(20.5%) and Intrauterine Death in4(2%) cases of anemic patients were seen. Conclusion: Maternal infection and adverse perinatal outcome in form of intrauterine growth restriction, Intensive Care Unitadmission, low birth weight and perinatal death were significantly associated with anemia in pregnancy.

AbstrakMenurut data WHO tahun 2015 jumlah BBLR di Indonesia berada di peringkat sembilan dunia dengan persentase BBLR lebih dari 15,5 % dari kelahiran bayi. Bayi yang lahir dengan berat badan kurang dari 2500 gram mempunyai resiko mengalami komplikasi. Keberlanjutan kehidupan bayi yang lahir dengan berat rendah juga sangat tergantung dari keadaan ekonomi, Pendidikan orang tua  dan perawatan pasca bayi lahir. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian survey analitik. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah  case control yaitu penelitian melibatkan kelompok kasus yaitu bayi BBLR yang berjumlah 32 dan bayi yang lahir dengan berat lahir normal sebagai kelompok kontrol yang berjumlah 32. Variabel faktor ibu yang diteliti pada penelitian ini adalah umur ibu, paritas, jarak kehamilan, status gizi ibu, anemia dalam kehamilan, pre eklampsi, dan riwayat berat lahir rendah pada kehamilan sebelumnya. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Oktober sampai dengan Desember 2017. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar bayi lahir  pada  umur ibu usia tidak beresiko 68, 8 %, paritas Pirmi/multigravida 90,6 %, jarak kehamilan ≥ 2 tahun 84,6 %, ibu hamil tidak KEK 68,8, anemia dalam kehamilan 50 %. Hasil analisis uji hubungan dengan Chi Square dan alpha 0,05 didapatkan 2 variabel mempunyai hubungan yang bermakna yaitu status gizi (p value 0,023), dan Anemia dalam kehamilan (p value 0,012). Kata kunci : faktor maternal, Bayi Berat Lahir Rendah AbstractAccording to WHO data in 201, the number of Low Birth Weight (LBW) of Indonesia is ranked ninth in the world with the percentage of LBW more than 15.5% of babies born. Babies born with weight less than 2500 grams have a risk of complications. The sustainability of a low birth weight baby's life is also highly based on the state of the economy, parental education and post-natal care.This research is an analytic survey research. The design of the research used was case control, the study involved case groups of 32 LBW infants and babies born with normal birth weight as a control group of 32. Maternal factor variables studied in this study were maternal age, parity, gestational distance, maternal nutritional status, anemia in pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, and a history of low birth weight in previous pregnancies. This study was conducted during October to December 2017. The results showed that most of the babies born at the age of the mother were not at risk 68,8%, Primi / multigravida 90.6%, the distance of pregnancy ≥ 2 years 84.6%, pregnant women not KEK 68.8, anemia in pregnancy 50%. Result of analysis of test of correlation with Chi Square and alpha 0,05 got 2 variables have significant relationship that is nutrition status (p value 0,023), and Anemia in pregnancy (p value 0,012). Keyword : maternal factor, Low Birth Weight
