Association of maternal pre-pregnancy or first trimester body mass index with neurodevelopmental impairment or death in extremely low gestational age neonates
To compare the rates of death or survival with severe neurodevelopmental impairment (sNDI) at 2 years among extremely preterm infants in relation to pre-pregnancy or first-trimester maternal body mass index (B...

Relationships between retinopathy of prematurity without ophthalmologic intervention and neurodevelopment and vision at 2 years
Severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is associated with adverse outcomes. Relationships between milder ROP and outcomes have not been defined. We hypothesized that children with ROP stage ≤3 who did not rec...

Article
Effect of an exclusive human milk diet on feeding tolerance in preterm infants
To compare the time to full enteral feeds in preterm infants fed exclusive human milk (EHM) - mother’s own milk (MOM) fortified with human milk-based fortifier (HMBF), to those who received partial human milk ...

Opioid exposure during therapeutic hypothermia and short-term outcomes in neonatal encephalopathy
To assess the association between opioid exposure during therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and in-hospital outcomes.

Article
Venovenous versus venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation among infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy: is there a difference in outcome?
Our hypothesis was that among infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), venoarterial (VA), compared to venovenous (VV), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with an increased risk...

Medical and surgical interventions and outcomes for infants with trisomy 18 (T18) or trisomy 13 (T13) at children’s hospitals neonatal intensive care units (NICUs)
To examine characteristics and outcomes of T18 and T13 infants receiving intensive surgical and medical treatment compared to those receiving non-intensive treatment in NICUs.
