Three hundred and seventy-four women were carrying an infant at high risk of developing atopy with a similar proportion in each study arm (table 1).
To compare respiratory and other morbidities between very preterm infants with and without a pneumothorax and to determine whether infants at higher risk of pneumothorax can be identified early in their course.
Alternative sterile products must be considered for infants at higher susceptibility to infections.
If successful, a future aim is to apply the system in further studies involving infants at higher risk for brain lesion or genetic disorders.
For example, brain imaging techniques such as electroencaphalography are being researched to help distinguish infants at higher risk for autism before behavioural symptoms manifest [ 5].
Treatment guidelines indicate that infants at higher risk to develop bilirubin-induced neurological sequelae are those born between the 35th and 37th gestational weeks (Watchko, 2006a).
We defined small for gestational age using customised birthweight centiles, which better identify small infants at higher risk of morbidity and mortality than raw birth weight or definition of small for gestational age by a population reference.
→ Factors that place infants at higher risk in many LMICs include but are not limited to widespread exclusive breastfeeding, G6PD deficiency, unrecognised haemolysis such as blood group incompatibilities and sepsis/infection.[e.g.g
Displacing breast milk with other substances has been associated with reduced duration of breastfeeding and more extensive supplementation [ 28] and places infants at higher risk for infection and diarrhea.
Compared to adult mothers, adolescent mothers are less knowledgeable [ 37], less responsive, more controlling, and less skilled in infant feeding [ 38], which interferes with infants' self-regulation, natural weight trajectory, and healthy growth during the first year of life [ 39], putting these infants at higher risk for developing obesity [ 40].
