Variation in follow-up for children born very preterm in Europe
Seppänen, AV; Barros, H; Draper, ES; Petrou, S; Andronis, L; Kim, S; Maier, RF; Pedersen, P; Gadzinowski, J; Pierrat, V; Sarrechia, I; Lebeer, JBackground 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 Euro...
Health-related quality of life at 5 years of age for children born very preterm...
Kim, SW; Tian, X; Andronis, L; Maier, RF; Varendi, H; Seppänen, A-V; Siljehav, V; Draper, ES; Zeitlin, J; Petrou, S; Seppänen, AV; El Rafei, RBackground: This study aimed to investigate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at 5 years of age of European children born very preterm across multi-dimensional outcomes by presence and severity of congenital anomalies. Methods: The study used data from a European cohort of children born very preterm (<32 weeks of gestation) and followed up to 5 years of age (N = 3493). Multilevel Ordinary Least Squares...
Developmental motor problems and health-related quality of life in 5-year-old c...
Aubert, AM; Costa, R; Johnson, S; Ådén, U; Pierrat, V; Cuttini, M; Männamaa, M; Sarrechia, I; Lebeer, J; Van Heijst, AF; Maier, RF; Sentenac, MAim To measure the association between cerebral palsy (CP) and non-CP-related movement difficulties and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among 5-year-old children born extremely preterm (<28 weeks gestational age). Method We included 5-year-old children from a multi-country, population-based cohort of children born extremely preterm in 2011 to 2012 in 11 European countries (n = 1021). Children without CP ...
Follow-up after very preterm birth in Europe
Seppänen, AV; Draper, ES; Petrou, S; Barros, H; Andronis, L; Kim, SW; Maier, RF; Pedersen, P; Gadzinowski, J; Lebeer, J; Ådén, U; Toome, LFollow-up programmes aim to detect neurodevelopmental and health problems and enable early interventions for children born very preterm (<32 weeks of gestational age (GA)). Although the importance of postdischarge follow-up is widely acknowledged, recommendations differ regarding eligibility criteria, frequency, duration and content, especially for follow-up beyond early childhood.1–3 We used data from a Europe...
Motor-related health care for 5-year-old children born extremely preterm with m...
Costa, R; Aubert, AM; Seppänen, A-V; Ådén, U; Sarrechia, L; Zemlin, M; Cuttini, M; Männamaa, M; Pierrat, V; van Heijst, A; Barros, H; Johnson, SAim: To (1) determine the proportion of 5-year-old children born extremely preterm (EPT) with movement difficulties including cerebral palsy (CP) and the proportion of these children receiving motor-related health care (MRHC), and (2) describe factors associated with receiving MRHC. Method: Children born before 28 weeks’ gestation in 2011 to 2012 in 11 European countries were assessed with the Movement Assessme...
Variation in very preterm extrauterine growth in a European multicountry cohort
El Rafei, R; Jarreau, PH; Norman, M; Maier, RF; Barros, H; Reempts, PV; Pedersen, P; Cuttini, M; Zeitlin, J; EPICE Research GroupObjective Extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) among very preterm infants is related to poor neurodevelopment, but lack of consensus on EUGR measurement constrains international research. Our aim was to compare EUGR prevalence in a European very preterm cohort using commonly used measures. Design Population-based observational study. Setting 19 regions in 11 European countries. Patients 6792 very preterm infa...
Managing mother’s own milk for very preterm infants in neonatal units in 11 Eur...
Rodrigues, C; Zeitlin, J; Wilson, E; Toome, L; Cuttini, M; Maier, RF; Pierrat, V; Barros, H; EPICE Research GroupFeeding with human milk has been recognised as an essential component of newborn care and is especially important for infants born very preterm (VPT, below 32 weeks of gestation) who face higher risks of adverse outcomes. WHO recommends that infants who cannot be fed mother's own milk (MOM) should receive donor human milk. Direct feeding at the breast takes time to establish after VPT birth and procedures are r...
Association between postnatal growth and neurodevelopmental impairment by sex a...
El Rafei, R; Jarreau, PH; Norman, M; Maier, RF; Barros, H; Van Reempts, P; Pedersen, P; Cuttini, M; Costa, R; Zemlin, M; Draper, ES; Zeitlin, JBackground & aims: Extra-uterine growth restriction (EUGR) is common among very preterm (VPT) infants and has been associated with impaired neurodevelopment. Some research suggests that adverse effects of EUGR may be more severe in boys. We investigated EUGR and neurodevelopment at 2 years of corrected age (CA) by sex in a VPT birth cohort. Methods: Data come from a population-based cohort of children born <32 ...
Maternal education and cognitive development in 15 European very-preterm birth ...
Sentenac, M; Benhammou, V; Aden, U; Ancel, PY; Bakker, LA; Bakoy, H; Barros, H; Baumann, N; Bilsteen, JF; Boerch, K; Croci, I; Cuttini, M; Draper, EBackground Studies are sparse and inconclusive about the association between maternal education and cognitive development among children born very preterm (VPT). Although this association is well established in the general population, questions remain about its magnitude among children born VPT whose risks of medical and developmental complications are high. We investigated the association of maternal education...
Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality in Advanced Aged Mothers-Maternal Age Is Not a...
Nourkami-Tutdibi, N; Tutdibi, E; Faas, T; Wagenpfeil, G; Draper, ES; Johnson, S; Cuttini, M; Rafei, RE; Seppänen, AV; Mazela, J; Maier, RF; Nuytten, ABackground: As childbearing is postponed in developed countries, maternal age (MA) has increased over decades with an increasing number of pregnancies between age 35–39 and beyond. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of advanced (AMA) and very advanced maternal age (vAMA) on morbidity and mortality of very preterm (VPT) infants. Methods: This was a population-based cohort study including infants...
