Lung recruitment before surfactant administration in extremely preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (IN-REC-SUR-E): a randomised, unblinded, controlled trial

The importance of lung recruitment before surfactant administration has been shown in animal studies. Well designed trials in preterm infants are abs…

Simplified bedside assessment of pulmonary gas exchange in very preterm infants at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age

We aimed to develop and validate a prediction table for a simplified measure of rightward shift of the fetal oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SpO2) versus…

Prevalence and risk factors of adverse birth outcomes in the Pacific Island region: A scoping review

Prevalence and exposures of adverse birth outcomes is well studied in low-and-middle-income countries but not well-established for the Pacific Island…

Enteral Vitamin A for Reducing Severity of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: A Randomized Trial

Evidence suggests that intramuscular vitamin A reduces the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. Our objective was to compare…

Composition of early life leukocyte populations in preterm infants with and without late-onset sepsis

Composition of leukocyte populations in the first month of life remains incompletely characterised, particularly in preterm infants who go on to deve…

Nasal airway epithelial repair after very preterm birth

Nasal epithelial cells from very preterm infants have a functional defect in their ability to repair beyond the first year of life, and failed repair…

Outcomes in extremely low birth weight (≤500 g) preterm infants: A Western Australian experience

Extremely preterm infant survival has significantly improved with advanced neonatal care; however outcomes of infants born with birth weight ≤500 g r…

Patterns of recurrent preterm birth in Western Australia: A 36-year state-wide population-based study

It is known that a previous preterm birth increases the risk of a subsequent preterm birth, but a limited number of studies have examined this beyond…

The relationship between intrauterine foetal growth trajectories and blood pressure in young adults

Previous studies have reported an association between low birthweight and elevated blood pressure (BP) in adulthood, but few have examined the relati…

Vitamin A supplementation in very-preterm or very-low-birth-weight infants to prevent morbidity and mortality: A systematic review and meta-Analysis of randomized trials

A previous systematic review showed that intramuscular vitamin A supplementation reduced the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very-low-bir…
