OBJECTIVES: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of blindness in children worldwide, requiring more efficient models to help predict treatment-requiring ROP. Our study aimed to develop a new prediction model for ROP occurrence and seve...
Maternal lipid levels change dynamically during gestation to support normal fetal growth. To obtain a detailed footprint of these changes and their differences in pregnancies with preterm or small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates, we analyzed 641 l...
Preterm birth leads to an increased risk of long-term consequences, with over 50% of children born <30 weeks facing motor, cognitive, or behavioural impairments. Early monitoring of motor developmental trajectories, strongly associated with neurodeve...
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a debilitating disease in premature infants. The chronic pathogenesis of BPD with complex prenatal and postnatal programming challenges attempts at precisely defining or treating disease. While existing BPD de...
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
Oct 7, 2025
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (diagnostic). The objectives are as follows: To assess the diagnostic performance of AI-based algorithms in comparison to the established reference standard of clinical diagnosis labels for ROP. Secondary obje...
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) develops in some premature infants and may be characterized by permanent severe retinal damage necessitating early detection and prompt treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether specific miRNAs i...
AIM: This study aims to assess the exclusive breastfeeding rate among preterm infants, examine the factors influencing breastfeeding practices, and identify evidence-based interventions to enhance lactation support.
Neurodevelopmental impairments (NDIs) are significant long-term complications in preterm infants. While early recognition of infants at high risk for NDIs is essential for enabling timely intervention, it remains a challenging endeavor. Autonomous sc...
Early infant crying provides critical insights into neurodevelopment, with atypical acoustic features linked to conditions such as preterm birth. However, previous studies have focused on limited and specific acoustic features, hindering a more compr...
In general, deficient birth weight neonates suffer from hypoglycemia, and this can be quite disadvantageous. Like oxygen, glucose is a building block of life and constitutes the significant share of energy produced by the fetus and the neonate during...
