Open AccessUse 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...

Open AccessAntibiotic exposure and growth patterns in preterm, very low birth weight infants
Antibiotic exposure in term infants has been associated with later obesity. Premature, very-low-birth-weight (birth weight ≤ 1500 g) infants in the neonatal intensive care unit frequently are exposed to antibi...

Biomarkers of adiposity are elevated in preterm very-low-birth-weight infants at 1, 2, and 3 y of age
Preterm, very-low-birth-weight (PT-VLBW) neonates are at-risk for metabolic syndrome later in life. At 1–3 y, they exhibit excessive weight-for-length z-scores (Wt-LZ) and elevated systolic blood pressures (SBP)....

Renal function and systolic blood pressure in very-low-birth-weight infants 1–3 years of age
Preterm very-low-birth-weight (PT-VLBW) infants are at risk of an elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) in infancy and adulthood; however, the pathogenesis remains unclear. Altered renal development or functi...

Elevated systolic blood pressure in preterm very-low-birth-weight infants ≤3 years of life
Preterm, very-low-birth-weight neonates (≤1500 gm, VLBW) exhibit elevated systolic blood pressures (SBP) in adolescence and adulthood; however, the age of onset and causes are unknown. We assessed SBP in a cro...
