Overall ELBW infant mortality was lower during the probiotics time period than the pre-probiotics time period at these 44 NICUs (HR 0.59; 95% CI: 0.41, 0.84; P =0.036).

The EP/ELBW infants (n = 91, 44 males) were defined as gestational age <28 weeks and/or birth weight <1000 g, and VP/VLBW infants (n = 32, 24 males) were defined as gestational age 29–31 weeks ...

Using an epigenetic clock, the researchers looked at the genes of 45 of those who were ELBW babies along with 47 who were normal birth weight when they were age 30 to 35 to compare their ...

Fluid and electrolyte management in the extremely premature (ELBW) infant patient population is challenging. There is no cookbook approach that can be used for all ELBW infants during the first ...

The study, conducted by researchers from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, only applies to extremely low birth weight (ELBW) babies, who were born weighing under 1kg (2lbs, 3oz) after the ...
