  2. 11. Long-term follow-up of very low birthweight children : A prospective study from the southeast region of Sweden

    Author : Per-Olof Gäddlin; Ingemar Leijon; Orvar Finnström; Torstein Vik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Very low birthweight infants; Follow-up studies; Adolescence; Gender; Neonatal risk factors; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Cognitive function; School performance; Health; Quality of Life; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Abstract : Background: The survival rates for very low birthweight (VLBW; birthweight ≤1500 g) children are increasing, but they run a greater risk than controls of developing neurosensory disabilities and other functional problems during childhood. However, there is a great need for more knowledge regarding long-term outcome to adulthood in VLBW subjects. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neonatology; Brain development; Extremely preterm infant; Brain volume; Retinopathy of prematurity; Insulin-like growth factor 1; Neurofilament light; Neurodevelopment;

    Abstract : Background: The extremely preterm infant is at risk of lifelong neurodevelopmental impairments due to brain injuries or abnormal neurovascular development. Mechanisms are largely unknown and biomarkers for adverse outcomes are sparse. READ MORE

  6. 14. Early growth, retinopathy of prematurity and insulin-like growth factors in preterm infants

    Author : Eva Engström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Preterm; ROP; nutrition; growth; growth restriction; IGF-I; IGF-II; IGFBP-3;

    Abstract : Aims:Paper I: To perform measurements of the lower leg length (LLL) in preterm infants, compare and evaluate handling error and precision of two instruments, and estimate the time required to show growth.Paper II-IV: To investigate whether low postnatal levels of serum IGF-I are associated with abnormal retinal vessel development.

  7. 15. A study of the foveal structure in prematurely born children by the use of optical coherence tomography

    Author : Rebecka Rosén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During the last decades there has been a rapid development in techniques for retinal imaging. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination is non-invasive, fast and patient-friendly which are good qualities when examining children. There is a steadily increasing survival rate of extremely premature infants due to improved neonatal care. READ MORE
