. @ESPR_ESN , welcome to the #nicuverse! Looking fw to share about #CEPAS in this space!

The #PREMILOC strategy (low-dose hydrocortisone to prevent BPD) seems to work also in Sweden (no surprise!). An observational study based on national register data out now in JAMA Ped.

The #TREOCAPA trial is out, comparing paracetamol vs placebo for prophylactic tx of the PDA in infants <29w. More ducts closed but no diff in disease free survival…
More confusion on a higher level?!

Interesting to see some numbers on the large international variations of feeding / nutrition practises for preterm infants. More research is needed, but also some more action!

The ”Latest Research” page on 99nicu.org is working really well, auto-feeding the latest peri-/neonatal publications on PubMed.
With my new daily habit browsing that page, I feel more updated than ever :)

We are introducing translation functionality on the 99nicu.org web site, through DeepL. Thanks @piatkat for adding this!
The translations service works very well! It will extend the potential outreach and user base, potentially moving discussions beyond the English language.

Today 17 Nov is #WorldPrematuritetDay
Spend a moment to think about this big #publichealth challenge (WHO link below) , and spend some to your local charity or research fund too.
In Sweden, e.g. Lilla barnets fond

As promised, here’s some bits and pieces from the #N3 Study Day, as a long #NeoMastodon thread. Hope it finds some reads in the #nicuverse! Apologies for the many words! (1/18)
Survival has improved in Swedish infants born at 22-26 weeks, while neurodevelopmental outcomes have not, according to this deep dive into national register data. Similar findings have been BTW reported from other contexts, like Au.
Why this, despite all investments (time, effort, money) in […]
Propensity score matching, as explained by in this great stat series by NEJM.
Silly context example (“how are ratings for maple syrups compare?”) but otherwise good to get how it works.
BTW, it’s a bad decision by NEJM to place this content behind their paywall.
To paraphrase the old saying - […]
While travelling home from #jENS2025 , I was thinking about that/how the neonatal social media feeds feels so... collapsed.
But I believe in the #nicuverse and #NeoMastodon!
Long version ⬇️ in the Dept of Brilliant Ideas […]
And, along those lines, next up in this #jENS2025 session is @DrVickyPayne in our @99nicu team, sharing a wonderful talk about developing neonatal nursing research capacity and capability.
There is such a large unmet need of this, but the opportunities are few […]

Refl to the #nicuverse from #jENS2025 and the talk by Rosemarie Boland about variations in the care of 22week infants - there is IMHO a sound shift in "acceptance" for care at this gest week. It goes without saying that outcomes depend on what/whether care is […]

And now, the The Budesonide in Babies (BiB) trial is published too, showing no benefit with regard to BPD risk in extr preterm infants. With the PLUSS trial findings from last year, this concept should be a dead duck now for the #nicuverse (?)
#NeoMastodon […]
Another step towards non-invasive respiratory support among extremely preterm infants: nasal HFOV was clearly better than nasal CPAP in reducing the need of intubation, absolute risks were 16 vs 28% the first 72 hours, and 21 vs 34% the first week of life […]

Great episode from the ESN Neonatology Now pod, featuring Prof Barbara Schmidt discussing caffeine for apnea of prematuritet.
Super-interesting (if you fly around in the #nicuverse!), and gives food (coffee!) for thoughts, e.g. that more may not be better (far to common misconception!) […]
Re the paracetamol <> autism paper, senior author Prof Brian Lee was recently interviewed by JAMA, a well-balanced discussion with one of their Deputy Editors.
Can recommend for the #nicuverse

On a separate note, our original paper has […]
Among all the things in the #nicuverse toolbox :)

In those times, its hard to see the room for all the elephants.
We recently published on paracetamol use during pregnancy and found NO association between paracetamol use during pregnancy and children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability, in a study population of 2.5M children […]
Interesting MRI study around cognitive impairment in preterm infants. Related (abnormal) brain development seems different in very and moderately preterm infants, respectively.
Basic science but the background message is really that no size will fit all […]

Another one from my summer #nicuverse radar: how probiotics are used in NICUs in the UK. Lots of insights, for example, compliance to guideline is not the best, and the supplementation is often delayed in high-risk infants (making conclusions from observational research more uncertain, ie […]
From my summer #nicuverse radar:
Large variations in NICU use of antibiotics in Sweden - number of treated infants per EOS case varied a lot across regions and units. Provoking paper by @Johangyllensvard, lots of room for improvement (despite rel low use of antibiotics overall) […]
