Use of term reference infants in assessing the developmental outcome of extremely preterm infants: lessons learned in a multicenter study

Extremely preterm (EP) impairment rates are likely underestimated using the Bayley III norm-based thresholds scores and may be better assessed relative to concurrent healthy term reference (TR) infants born in...

Neonatal outcomes of moderately preterm infants compared to extremely preterm infants

Extremely preterm infants (EPT, <29 weeks’ gestation) represent only 0.9% of births in the United States; yet these infants are the focus of most published research. Moderately preterm neonates (MPT, 29–33^6/7 wee...

Safety and pharmacokinetics of multiple dose myo-inositol in preterm infants

Preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) given inositol had reduced bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), death and severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). We assessed the safety and pharmacokinet...

Pharmacokinetics and safety of a single intravenous dose of myo-inositol in preterm infants of 23–29 wk

Myo-inositol given to preterm infants with respiratory distress has reduced death, increased survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and reduced severe retinopathy of prematurity in two randomized trials. Ph...

Analysis of neonatal clinical trials with twin births

In neonatal trials of pre-term or low-birth-weight infants, twins may represent 10–20% of the study sample. Mixed-effects models and generalized estimating equations are common approaches for handling correlat...
