Preterm birth is associated with increased infant mortality. However, it is not clear whether prematurity is associated with mortality after 1 year of age. There is a lack of research on mortality rate and causes of death after infancy in preterm babies in Korea. We aimed to analyze the mortality rates and causes of deaths up to 5 years of age in K...

BACKGROUND:Biannual azithromycin distribution has been shown to reduce child mortality as well as increase antimicrobial resistance. Targeting distributions to vulnerable subgroups such as malnourished children is one approach to reaching those at the highest risk of mortality while limiting selection for resistance. The objective of this analysis ...

Introdução: O período neonatal precoce é o mais crítico para a vida do recém-nascido. A autópsia é importante para compreender acausa de morte e conhecer outros diagnósticos não identificados clinicamente. No entanto, a taxa de autópsia neonatal está a diminuir em todo o mundo. Este estudo pretende caracterizar a morte neonatal precoce e a importân...

Recent evidence indicates mass drug administration with azithromycin may reduce child mortality. This study uses verbal autopsy (VA) to investigate the causes of individual deaths during the Macrolides Oraux pour Réduire les Décès avec un Oeil sur la Résistance (MORDOR) trial in Malawi. Cluster randomization was performed as part of MORDOR. Biannua...

Mass azithromycin distribution has been shown to reduce all-cause mortality in preschool children in sub-Saharan Africa. However, substantial heterogeneity in the apparent effect has been noted across geographic settings, suggesting a greater relative benefit in higher mortality settings. Here, we evaluated the relationship between the underlying m...

The recent Macrolides Oraux pour Réduire les Décès avec un Oeil sur la Résistance (MORDOR) trial reported a reduction in child mortality following biannual azithromycin mass drug administration (MDA). Here, we investigate the financial costs and cost-effectiveness from the health provider perspective of azithromycin MDA at the MORDOR-Malawi study s...

OBJECTIVE:Oxylipins are biologically active signaling molecules that initiate and resolve inflammation; they are synthesized by oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and reflect PUFA intake and status. The PUFA intake in preterm infants differs between countries because of the type of lipid emulsions used and the PUFA content of breast m...

Background : We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to address the crucial public health issue of the suspected association between air pollution exposure during pregnancy and the risk of infant mortality. Methods : We searched on MEDLINE ® databases among articles published until February, 2019 for case-control, cohort, and ecologic...

BACKGROUND:The clinical utility of echocardiography for the diagnosis of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) in former preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is not established. Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) rather than pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is the hallmark of PVD. We evaluated the utility of echocardiography in...
