Persistently elevated right ventricular index of myocardial performance in preterm infants with incipient bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Objective: To determine the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, its risk factors and resource utilization in a large South American population of very low birth weight

2008;84(2):154-159: 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastroesophageal reflux, very low birth weight infants,

In a prospective randomized study involving 170 very low birth weight preterm infants, who received diet including at least 80% of maternal milk, the authors found daily weight gain

Currently, in spite of improvements in the nutritional support of preterm infants with very low birth weight through aggressive and early parenteral and enteral nutri- tion,

his study found that the motor behavior of very low birth weight premature infants was worse than that of low birth weight premature infants, and, in the age groups evaluated,

In view of the foregoing information, the aim of the present study was to compare the performance of children born premature with low birth weight (LBW) and very low birth

PURPOSE : To analyze the effects of corticosteroids on bronchopulmonary dysplasia, length of stay, mortality, growth, as well as the adverse effects in very low birth weight

Patent ductus arteriosus with systemic pulmonary “shunt” in preterm infants and very low birth weight preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) frequently
