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...

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...

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...

Cortisol awakening response and developmental outcomes at 6–7 years in children born extremely preterm
Extremely preterm (EPT) birth has been related to dysregulation of stress responses and behavioral/learning problems at school age. Early adverse experiences can blunt HPA axis reactivity. We hypothesized that...

Early brain and abdominal oxygenation in extremely low birth weight infants
Extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants are at risk for end-organ hypoxia and ischemia. Regional tissue oxygenation of the brain and gut as monitored with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may change with po...

DNA methylation in former extremely low birth weight newborns: association with cardiovascular and endocrine function
There is increased risk of cardiovascular, metabolic, and hypertensive disorders in later life in the preterm population. We studied school-age children who had been born extremely premature who had undergone ...

Timing of Transfer and Mortality in Neonates with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome in California
Maternal race/ethnicity is associated with mortality in neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). We investigated whether maternal race/ethnicity and other sociodemographic factors affect timing of...

Adrenal function links to early postnatal growth and blood pressure at age 6 in children born extremely preterm
Low birth weight in term-born individuals correlates with adverse cardiometabolic outcomes; excess glucocorticoid exposure has been linked to these relationships. We hypothesized that cortisol and adrenal andr...

Differences in patient characteristics and care practices between two trials of therapeutic hypothermia
The Induced Hypothermia (IH) and Optimizing Cooling (OC) trials for hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) had similar inclusion criteria. The rate of death/moderate–severe disability differed for the subgroups...

Utility of prenatal MRI in the evaluation and management of fetal ventriculomegaly
Fetal ventriculomegaly may occur in isolation or as part of a broader syndrome. We aimed to determine the added value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for informing the pre-natal and postnatal care of pregn...
