- Abstract
Background: Children born very preterm (<32 weeks of gestation) face high risks of neurodevelopmental and health difficulties compared with children born at term. Follow-up after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit is essential to ensure early detection and intervention, but data on policy approaches are sparse. Methods: We investigated the characteristics of follow-up policy and programmes in 11 European countries from 2011 to 2022 using healthcare informant questionnaires and the published/grey literature. We further explored how one aspect of follow-up, its recommended duration, may be reflected in the percent of parents reporting that their children are receiving follow-up services at 5 years of age in these countries using data from an area-based cohort of very preterm births in 2011/12 (N ¼ 3635). Results: Between 2011/12 and 22, the number of countries with follow-up policies or programmes increased from 6 to 11. The policies and programmes were heterogeneous in eligibility criteria, duration and content. In countries that recommended longer follow-up, parent-reported follow-up rates at 5 years of age were higher, especially among the highest risk children, born <28 weeks' gestation or with birthweight <1000 g: between 42.1% and 70.1%, vs. <20% in most countries without recommendations. Conclusions:Large variations exist in follow-up policies and programmes for children born very preterm in Europe; differences in recommended duration translate into cross-country disparities in reported follow-up at 5 years of age.

- Abstract
Background: Preterm birth increases the risk for postpartum depression in both mothers and fathers, calling for strategies to alleviate and prevent depressive symptoms in parents of preterm infants. The aim of this study was to assess the association between early parent-infant closeness and later depressive symptoms among parents of preterm infants. We hypothesized that longer duration of closeness associate with fewer depressive symptoms in both parents. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 23 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) from 15 countries in 2018 to 2020. Each unit recruited families with preterm infants aiming to 30 families. The total duration of parents' presence in the NICU, and separately parent-infant skin-to-skin contact and holding, were measured using a Closeness Diary up to 14 days. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used at discharge and at 4 months corrected age of the infant. Results: The study included 684 mothers and 574 fathers. The median presence was 469 min (Q1 258 and Q3 1,087) per 24 h for the mothers and 259 min (Q1 100 and Q3 540) for the fathers; mean EPDS scores were 9.2 (SD 5.0) and 6.3 (SD 4.4) at discharge and 6.6 (4.7) and 4.3 (4.2) at 4 months, respectively. Parents' presence and depressive symptoms varied greatly between the units. Parents' presence as the total measure, or skin-to-skin contact and holding separately, did not associate with depressive symptoms in either mothers or fathers at either time point (adjusted). Conclusion: No association was found between the duration of parent-infant closeness in the neonatal unit and parents' depressive symptoms. The beneficial effects of family-centered care on parents' depression seem to be mediated by other elements than parent-infant physical closeness. More research is needed to identify the critical elements which are needed to alleviate parents' depression after NICU stay.

DELIVERY (Obstetrics) ,BRONCHOPULMONARY dysplasia ,PREMATURE labor ,CESAREAN section ,COLONIZATION (Ecology) - Abstract
Introduction: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) represents a tremendous disease burden following preterm birth. The strong association between compromised gas exchange after birth and BPD demands particular focus on the perinatal period. The mode of delivery can impact on lung fluid clearance and microbial colonization, but its impact on BPD and potential trade-off effects between death and BPD are not established. Methods: A total of 7,435 live births (24+0 to 31+6 weeks postmenstrual age) in 19 regions of 11 European countries were included. Principal outcomes were death and BPD at 36 weeks. We estimated unadjusted and adjusted associations with mode of delivery using multilevel logistic regression to account for clustering within units and regions. Sensitivity analyses examined effects, taking into consideration regional variations in C-section rates. Results: Compared to vaginal delivery, delivery by C-section was not associated with the incidence of BPD (OR 0.92, 95% CI: 0.68–1.25) or the composite outcome of death or BPD (OR 0.94, 95% CI: 0.74–1.19) after adjustment for perinatal and neonatal risk factors in the total cohort and in pregnancies for whom a vaginal delivery could be considered. Sensitivity analyses among singletons, infants in cephalic presentation, and infants of ≥26+0 weeks of gestation did not alter the results for BPD, severe BPD, and death or BPD, even in regions with a high C-section rate. Conclusions: In our population-based cohort study, the mode of delivery was not associated with the incidence of BPD. The intention to reduce BPD does not justify a C-section in pregnancies where a vaginal delivery can be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

International audience; OBJECTIVE: To investigate the variation in severe neonatal morbidity among very preterm (VPT) infants across European regions and whether morbidity rates are higher in regions with low compared with high mortality rates.METHODS: Area-based cohort study of all births before 32 weeks of gestational age.METHODS: 16 regions in 11 European countries in 2011/2012.METHODS: Survivors to discharge from neonatal care (n=6422).METHODS: Severe neonatal morbidity was defined as intraventricular haemorrhage grades III and IV, cystic periventricular leukomalacia, surgical necrotizing enterocolitis and retinopathy of prematurity grades ≥3. A secondary outcome included severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), data available in 14 regions. Common definitions for neonatal morbidities were established before data abstraction from medical records. Regional severe neonatal morbidity rates were correlated with regional in-hospital mortality rates for live births after adjustment on maternal and neonatal characteristics.RESULTS: 10.6% of survivors had a severe neonatal morbidity without severe BPD (regional range 6.4%-23.5%) and 13.8% including severe BPD (regional range 10.0%-23.5%). Adjusted inhospital mortality was 13.7% (regional range 8.4%-18.8%). Differences between regions remained significant after consideration of maternal and neonatal characteristics (P

Aim: This study assessed the prevalence of small for gestational age (SGA) among very preterm (VPT) infants using national and European intrauterine references. Methods: We generated country-specific and common European intrauterine growth references for 11 European countries, according to Gardosi's approach and Hadlock's foetal growth model, using national data on birthweights by sex. These references were applied to the Effective Perinatal Intensive Care in Europe (EPICE) cohort, which comprised 7766 live VPT births without severe congenital anomalies under 32 weeks of gestation in 2011–2012, to estimate the prevalence of infants with SGA birthweights, namely those below the 10th percentile. Results: The SGA prevalence was 31.8% with country-specific references and 34.0% with common European references. The European references yielded a 10-point difference in the SGA prevalence between countries with lower term birthweights (39.9%) – Portugal, Italy and France – and higher term birthweights, namely Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden (28.9%; p < 0.001). This was not observed with country-specific references, where the respective figures were 32.4% and 33.9% (p = 0.34), respectively. Conclusion: One-third of VPT infants were SGA according to intrauterine references. Common European references showed significant differences in SGA prevalence between countries with high and low-term birthweights.

Aim: Little is known about the amount of physical parent-infant closeness in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and this study explored that issue in six European countries. Methods: The parents of 328 preterm infants were recruited in 11 NICUs in Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, Italy and Spain. They filled in daily diaries about how much time they spent in the NICU, in skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and holding their babies in the first two weeks of their hospitalisation. Results: The parents' NICU presence varied from a median of 3.3 (minimum 0.7-maximum 6.7) to 22.3 (18.7-24.0) hours per day (p < 0.001), SSC varied from 0.3 (0-1.4) to 6.6 (2.2-19.5) hours per day (p < 0.001) and holding varied from 0 (0-1.5) to 3.2 (0-7.4) hours per day (p < 0.001). Longer SSC was associated with singleton babies and more highly educated mothers. Holding the baby for longer was associated with gestational age. The most important factor supporting parent-infant closeness was the opportunity to stay overnight in the NICU. Having other children and the distance from home to the hospital had no impact on parent-infant closeness. Conclusion: Parents spent more time in NICUs if they could stay overnight, underlining the importance that these facilities play in establishing parent-infant closeness.

- Abstract
Importance: Administration-to-birth intervals of antenatal corticosteroids (ANS) vary. The significance of this variation is unclear. Specifically, to our knowledge, the shortest effective administration-to-birth interval is unknown.Objective: To explore the associations between ANS administration-to-birth interval and survival and morbidity among very preterm infants.Design, Setting, and Participants: The Effective Perinatal Intensive Care in Europe (EPICE) study, a population-based prospective cohort study, gathered data from 19 regions in 11 European countries in 2011 and 2012 on 4594 singleton infants with gestational ages between 24 and 31 weeks, without severe anomalies and unexposed to repeated courses of ANS. Data were analyzed November 2016.Exposure: Time from first injection of ANS to delivery in hours and days.Main Outcomes and Measures: Three outcomes were studied: in-hospital mortality; a composite of mortality or severe neonatal morbidity, defined as an intraventricular hemorrhage grade of 3 or greater, cystic periventricular leukomalacia, surgical necrotizing enterocolitis, or stage 3 or greater retinopathy of prematurity; and severe neonatal brain injury, defined as an intraventricular hemorrhage grade of 3 or greater or cystic periventricular leukomalacia.Results: Of the 4594 infants included in the cohort, 2496 infants (54.3%) were boys, and the mean (SD) gestational age was 28.5 (2.2) weeks and mean (SD) birth weight was 1213 (400) g. Mortality for the 662 infants (14.4%) unexposed to ANS was 20.6% (136 of 661). Administration of ANS was associated with an immediate and rapid decline in mortality, reaching a plateau with more than 50% risk reduction after an administration-to-birth interval of 18 to 36 hours. A similar pattern for timing was seen for the composite mortality or morbidity outcome, whereas a significant risk reduction of severe neonatal brain injury was associated with longer administration-to-bi

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the implementation of four high evidence practices for the care of very preterm infants to assess their use and impact in routine clinical practice and whether they constitute a driver for reducing mortality and neonatal morbidity.DESIGN: Prospective multinational population based observational study.SETTING: 19 regions from 11 European countries covering 850 000 annual births participating in the EPICE (Effective Perinatal Intensive Care in Europe for very preterm births) project.PARTICIPANTS: 7336 infants born between 24+0 and 31+6 weeks' gestation in 2011/12 without serious congenital anomalies and surviving to neonatal admission.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Combined use of four evidence based practices for infants born before 28 weeks' gestation using an "all or none" approach: delivery in a maternity unit with appropriate level of neonatal care; administration of antenatal corticosteroids; prevention of hypothermia (temperature on admission to neonatal unit ≥36°C); surfactant used within two hours of birth or early nasal continuous positive airway pressure. Infant outcomes were in-hospital mortality, severe neonatal morbidity at discharge, and a composite measure of death or severe morbidity, or both. We modelled associations using risk ratios, with propensity score weighting to account for potential confounding bias. Analyses were adjusted for clustering within delivery hospital.RESULTS: Only 58.3% (n=4275) of infants received all evidence based practices for which they were eligible. Infants with low gestational age, growth restriction, low Apgar scores, and who were born on the day of maternal admission to hospital were less likely to receive evidence based care. After adjustment, evidence based care was associated with lower in-hospital mortality (risk ratio 0.72, 95% confidence interval 0.60 to 0.87) and in-hospital mortality or severe morbidity, or both (0.82, 0.73 to 0.92), corresponding to an estimated 18% decrease in all deaths without an increase in severe morbidity if these interventions had been provided to all infants.CONCLUSIONS: More comprehensive use of evidence based practices in perinatal medicine could result in considerable gains for very preterm infants, in terms of increased survival without severe morbidity.

Objective: The documented benefits of maternal milk for very preterm infants have raised interest in hospital policies that promote breastfeeding. We investigated the hypothesis that more liberal parental policies are associated with increased breastfeeding at discharge from the neonatal unit.Design: Prospective area-based cohort study.Setting: Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in 19 regions of 11 European countries.Patients: All very preterm infants discharged alive in participating regions in 2011-2012 after spending >70% of their hospital stay in the same NICU (n=4407).Main Outcome Measures: We assessed four feeding outcomes at hospital discharge: any and exclusive maternal milk feeding, independent of feeding method; any and exclusive direct breastfeeding, defined as sucking at the breast. We computed a neonatal unit Parental Presence Score (PPS) based on policies regarding parental visiting in the intensive care area (range 1-10, with higher values indicating more liberal policies), and we used multivariable multilevel modified Poisson regression analysis to assess the relation between unit PPS and outcomes.Results: Policies regarding visiting hours, duration of visits and possibility for parents to stay during medical rounds and spend the night in unit differed within and across countries. After adjustment for potential confounders, infants cared for in units with liberal parental policies (PPS≥7) were about twofold significantly more likely to be discharged with exclusive maternal milk feeding and exclusive direct breastfeeding.Conclusion: Unit policies promoting parental presence and involvement in care may increase the likelihood of successful breastfeeding at discharge for very preterm infants.

sinovenoosne tromboos, perinataalne insult, lapseea insult - Abstract
Tänu aju piltdiagnostika paranenud võimalustele ning suurenenud teadlikkusele diagnoositakse aju sinovenoosset tromboosi üha sagedamini. Artikli eesmärgiks on anda ülevaade laste sinovenoosse tromboosi esinemisest, sümptomitest, riskiteguritest, diagnoosimisest ja ravist ning kirjeldada Eesti lastel diagnoositud sinovenoosse tromboosi juhte. Sinovenoosset tromboosi esineb nii vastsündinutel kui ka vanematel lastel (vanuses 1 kuu kuni 18 aastat). Väheste epidemioloogiliste uuringute andmetel on sinovenoosse tromboosi haigestumus 0,25–0,67 juhtu 100 000 lapse kohta aastas. Sinovenoosse tromboosi sümptomid on mittespetsiifilised: sagedamini esinevad neuroloogilised üldsümptomid, umbes pooltel haigetest kaasneb ka neuroloogiline koldesümptomaatika. Vastsündinute puhul on sagedasemateks sümptomiteks hingamishäired, krambid, toitmisraskused ja lihashüpotoonia. Enamasti on sinovenoosset tromboosi põhjustav tegur tuvastatav: sagedasemateks põhjusteks on pea- ja kaelainfektsioonid, dehüdratatsioon, omandatud või pärilik trombofiilia; vastsündinute puhul on olulised ka raseduse ja/või sünnitusega seotud tegurid. Aju sinovenoosse tromboosi diagnoosimise valikmeetoditeks on magnetresonantstomograafia koos magnetresonantsvenograafiaga ja kompuutertomograafia (KT) koos KT-venograafiaga. Laste sinovenoosse tromboosi ravi koosneb toetavast sümptomaatilisest ravist ning antikogulantravist. Eestis on aastatel 2005–2011 diagnoositud sinovenoosset tromboosi 5 vastsündinul ja 5 lapsel (keskmine vanus 6,8 aastat). Sümptomid olid valdavalt mittespetsiifilised. Sagedasemateks riskiteguriteks vastsündinueas olid komplitseeritud sünnitus ning kaasasündinud trombofiilia. Lapseea sinovenoosse tromboosi riskiteguriteks olid dehüdratatsioon, mastoidiit, nefrootiline sündroom (omandatud trombofiilia) ja kaasasündinud trombofiilia. 8 juhul 10-st diagnoositi sinovenoosne tromboos nelja päeva jooksul pärast sümptomite tekkimist, kahel juhul diagnoos hilines tunduvalt. Varast antikoagulantravi rakendati 10 patsiendist 6 juhul. Kokkuvõtteks, kuna sinovenoosse tromboosi sümptomid on mittespetsiifi lised, siis tuleb vastsündinute ja laste teadvushäirete ja/või neuroloogiliste sümptomite korral neuroradioloogist uuringut tellides mõelda tromboosi võimalusele aju venoosses süsteemis.

imikusuremus, neonataalne suremus, vastsündinute haigestumus, kaasasündinud väärarendid - Abstract
Töö eesmärk. Analüüsida vastsündinute ja imikute suremust ning haigestumist Eestis aastatel 2007−2008. Meetodid. Eesti III etapi sünnitusmajade, lasteintensiivravi ja neonatoloogia osakondade arstid sisestasid edasivaatavalt vastsündinu tervise andmekogusse (VTA) 58 tunnust raseduse ja sünnituse kulu, lapse sünniandmete, postnataalse transpordi, haiguste, ravitoimingute ja -tulemi kohta, hõlmates kõik aastatel 2007–2008 sündinud ja intensiivravi vajanud või vastsündinuperioodis diagnoositud haiguste ja kaasasündinud raskete väärarenditega beebid, kokku 4250 last ehk 13,3% sel perioodil Eestis elusalt sündinutest. Andmeid võrreldi ka Tervise Arengu Instituudi (TAI) juures töötavate Eesti meditsiinilise sünniregistri (EMS) ning surmapõhjuste registriga (SPR). Tulemused. VTAs on esindatud kõik Eestis enne 32. täisgestatsiooninädalat (GN) sündinud; 88,5% 32.−33. GNi l; 60% 34.−.36 GNil; 9,4% ajalistest (37.−41. GNil) ja 11,6% üliküpsetest (42. GNil ja hiljem) vastsündinutest . Vastsündinute ja imikute suremuse ning haigestumuse struktuur gestatsioonivanuseti sarnaneb kirjanduses toodud teiste maade tulemustega, kuid Eestis jääb imikusuremus 1–3 promilli võrra suuremaks kui Lääne-Euroopas ja Põhjamaades. Väärarendite üldine sagedus on sarnane Euroopa kaasasündinud anomaaliate seire andmetega. Uuringu tulemusi on teiste riikidega raske võrrelda, sest VTAs ei ole esindatud kogu Eesti populatsioon, ka EMSi ja SPRi andmed vastsündinute kohta on piiratud mahuga. Järeldused. Vastsündinute haigestumuse ja suremuse laiendatud andmete riiklik järjepidev kogumine Eestis on vajalik, et leida meetmeid perinataalabi paremaks korraldamiseks ja imikusuremuse edasiseks vähendamiseks.

enneaegne laps, väga väike sünnikaal, gestatsiooninädal, tervisetulem - Abstract
Väga väikese sünnikaaluga enneaegsete elulemus ja tervisetulem on arenenud riikides viimasel kümnendil tunduvalt paranenud. Eestis puudusid seni andmed väga enneaegsete laste tervise hilistulemi kohta. Uuritud 42-st alla 1500-grammise sünnikaaluga enneaegsest lapsest oli 3aastaselt terveid või kergete, ravi mittevajavate funktsionaalsete kõrvalekalletega 61,9%. 1/6-l enneaegsetest esines üks või mitu puuet. Enneaegsete laste kõik kolm kasvumõõtu (kehakaal, pikkus ja peaümbermõõt) olid 3aastaselt statistiliselt tõepäraselt väiksemad kui ajaliselt sündinud samavanustel lastel (p Eesti Arst 2009; 88(Lisa4):6−11, Eesti Arst, Lisa 4

vastsündinu, varane kojukirjutamine, rehospitaliseerimine - Abstract
Viimase 15 aasta jooksul on Eesti Vabariigis muutunud vastsündinute meditsiiniabi korraldus: vastsündinud kirjutatakse sünnitusmajast koju varakult ja järgneva tervisekontrolli teeb perearst. Ülevaate saamiseks vastsündinute hospitaliseerimise põhjustest nende kahe olulise tervishoiukorraldusliku muudatuse taustal analüüsisime oma töös 2005. ja 2006. a Tallinna Lastehaiglasse kodust hospitaliseeritud vastsündinute haiguslugusid. Leidsime, et vaatamata toimunud muudatustele oli uuringuperioodil rehospitaliseerimist vajanud vastsündinute hulk võrreldes kirjanduse andmetega pigem väike. Peamisteks vastsündinute haiglaravi põhjusteks olid toitmisprobleemid, ikterus ja infektsioonid. Vastsündinute hospitaliseerimise ennetamiseks on olulised emade varane ja efektiivne nõustamine ning korrektne ja toimiv vastsündinute tervisekontrolli süsteem.

vastsündinu jälgimine perearsti ja -õe poolt, vanemate rahulolu - Abstract
Töö eesmärgiks oli hinnata vastsündinute jälgimise vastavust terve lapse jälgimise juhendile, vastsündinu terviseseisundit ning emade rahulolu perearsti ja -õe tegevusega. Ankeetküsitluse meetodil uuriti 256 ema, kelle lapsed sündisid kahes Tallinna sünnitusmajas 2007. aastal. Selgus, et juhendi kohaselt jälgis vastsündinuid 24% perearstidest ja 2% pereõdedest. Ligi pooled emadest jätkasid vastsündinu tervisekontrolli sünnitusmajade juures. Ligi kahel kolmandikul vastsündinutest esines terviseprobleeme, mille lahendas ühel neljandikul juhtudest perearst, ülejäänud said võrdselt abi kas lastehaigla vastuvõtutoast või mujalt. Seevastu on perearstikeskuste külastamine sage ja vastab ettenähtule. Uuritavad väljendasid rahulolu pereõega ligi 60%-l ja perearstiga 85%-l juhtudest. 95,7% emadest soovis lastearsti osalemist vastsündinu jälgimises.

K-vitamiini profülaktika, tüsistused, ajuverevalumid - Abstract
K-vitamiini kui olulise koagulatsiooni komponendi defi tsiit võib põhjustada spontaanseid eluohtlikke hemorraagiaid. Kõikidel vastsündinutel esineb sünnil suhteline K-vitamiini puudulikkus, mille tõttu lastele manustatakse profülaktiliselt sünni järel K-vitamiini. K-vitamiini defitsiidi kliiniliseks väljenduseks on verejooksud. Arvestades lapse vanust verejooksu tekkimise ajal, jaotatakse K-vitamiini defi tsiidist põhjustatud verejooks kolmeks alatüübiks: varane, klassikaline ning hiline vorm. Hilised tüsistused on harvad. Haigusjuhu kirjelduses käsitletakse ühe kuu vanust poisslast, kes hospitaliseeriti intensiivravi osakonda seoses teadvushäirega, mille põhjuseks olid hilisest K-vitamiini puudulikkusest tingitud ajuverevalumid. Pärast sündi ei olnud laps saanud profülaktilist ravi K-vitamiiniga. Eesti Arst 2008; 87(10):812−819, Eesti Arst, Oktoober 2008

rasvhapete oksüdatsioon, LCHAD puudulikkus, HELLP-sündroom, hüpoglükeemia - Abstract
Pika ahelaga rasvhapete oksüdatsiooni defekt (LCHAD puudulikkus) on mittespetsiifi lise kliinilise pildiga pärilik ainevahetushaigus, mis võib põhjustada letaalset metaboolset dekompensatsiooni. Kirjanduse alusel on haigusesse suremus ligi 40%. Varajase diagnostika korral on haiguse kulgu võimalik efektiivselt mõjutada spetsiifi lise vähese rasva- ja suure süsivesikusisaldusega dieetraviga. Haiguse kindlakstegemine presümptomaatilises perioodis on võimalik atsüülkarnitiinide tandemmassspektromeetrilisel analüüsil. Artiklis käsitletakse letaalse lõppega hüpoglükeemiat imikul, kus LCHAD puudulikkus diagnoositi post mortem molekulaargeneetiliselt ning vastsündinute testkaardil säilitatud vere atsüülkarnitiinide analüüsil esines LCHAD puudulikkusele iseloomulik atsüülkarnitiinide profiil.
