This cohort study found that higher mean daily serum levels of DHA during the first 28 postnatal days were associated with less severe #ROP even after adjustment for known risk factors, but only in infants with sufficiently high AA levels.

Promotion of human milk and #breastfeeding for VLBW infants requires multidisciplinary and system-wide adoption of lactation support practices.
Elevated Epo at baseline and elevated Tau in the first two weeks after birth predict poor outcomes in infants born extremely preterm.

Once the effectiveness of the dextrose gel for the treatment of asymptomatic neonatal #hypoglycemia has been confirmed, it would also be interesting to investigate, the role of this therapy in every single different risk factor for hypoglycemia, evaluating the short and long term outcomes.

Stimulation of non-­crying neonates with intact cord was associated with more spontaneous breathing than among infants who were stimulated with cord clamped. Intact cord stimulation may help establish spontaneous breathing in apnoeic neonates, but residual confounding variables may be contributing to the findings.

A care practice bundle dedicated to support the injured neonatal #brain
that is based on the current best evidence for each organ system. The impact of using such bundle on outcomes in
NE remains to be demonstrated.
