  1. 1. School-age outcomes of children born at the limit of viability : a Swedish national prospective follow-up study at 10 to 12 years

    Författare :Aijaz Farooqi; Serenius Fredrik; Hägglöf Bruno; Neil Marlow; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :school-age outcome; extremely immature; functional limitations; growth; special health care needs; mental health; executive functions; Pediatrics; pediatrik;

    Sammanfattning : Background/Aim: During the past two decades, major advances in maternal-fetal medicine, neonatology, and the development of regionalized perinatal care have resulted in dramatic increases in survival rates, by more than 60%, of extremely immature (EI) infants born at less than 26 completed weeks of gestation, creating a new infant population. Studies of school-age outcomes in children with an extremely low birth weight of < 1000 g, born in the1980s, indicated that these children had a substantially high prevalence of low-severity neuropsychological deficits, behavioral problems, and difficulties at school.

  3. 2. Signaling to the immature brain - Choroid plexus, insulin-like growth factor 1 and extracellular vesicles

    Författare :Niklas Ortenlöf; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; IGF-1; Choroid plexus; Immature brain; Extracellular vesicle; CSF; Preterm infants;

    Sammanfattning : Extremely preterm infants (i.e., born below 28 gestational weeks), are at high risk of developing brain morbidities including intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and neurodevelopmental impairment. Despite over 50 years of research, there is currently no effective therapy available for preventing IVH. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Brain imaging and outcome in extremely preterm infants

    Författare :Béatrice Skiöld; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In parallel to the dawn of modern neonatal intensive care, the survival after extremely preterm birth has greatly improved. These very immature children are born during a vulnerable phase of brain maturation, and are at high risk of brain injury and subsequent neurodevelopmental impairments. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Retinopathy of Prematurity in Infants Born Before 27 Weeks of Gestation : A National Population-based Study in Sweden During 2004-2007

    Författare :Dordi Austeng; Gerd E. Holmström; Karin B.M. Källen; Uwe W. Ewald; Olav Haugen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retinopathy of prematurity; extremely preterm; population-based; epidemiology; treatment; natural history; screening; Ophtalmiatrics; Oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik; Pediatrics; Pediatrik; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Improved neonatal care has resulted in an increasing population of surviving infants. Neonatal morbidity in preterm infants is, however, high, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the major neonatal morbidities. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Brain imaging in extremely preterm infants : relations to perinatal factors and outcome

    Författare :Georgios Alexandrou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The survival of extremely preterm infants has improved over the last decades along with the advances in perinatal care. These immature children are born at a vulnerable stage of brain development, before entering the third trimester of gestation, and are at an increased risk for brain injuries, atypical brain development and subsequent adverse neurodevelopment.
