In surviving infants, duration of sepsis was documented as either the length of time from the first positive blood culture for CONS until the first documented negative blood culture (14 episodes in period 1 and 16 episodes in period 2) or as the length of time to return to previous clinical status (31 episodes in period 1 and 17 episodes in period 2).
We performed subgroup analyses to determine summary effect estimates in several prespecified groups, including: the participant receiving the intervention (mother or infant), duration and timing of intervention (prenatal or postnatal), probiotic organism and dose, duration of follow-up or age at assessment, asthma risk, caesarean delivery rate, geographical area, and source of funding.
For exclusively breast-fed infants, duration was equal to the age of the child (months) when breastfeeding was stopped.
Early infant feeding and duration of breastfeeding in particular, associate with several health-related parameters in childhood.
Practical information about starting expressing in relation to infant age or duration of breastfeeding was conflicting.
In addition, the age of presentation may be changing due to differences in infant feeding practices, duration of breastfeeding and improved recognition of potential CD by general practitioners.
Those infants had shorter duration of exclusive breastfeeding than the urban infants born outside the hospital (medians are 85 days and 129 days).
To report changes in red blood cell long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids levels in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants relative to duration of intravenous lipid emulsion.
A previous study investigated the influence of thumb sucking and pacifier use on breastfeeding patterns in exclusively breastfed infants, on the duration of exclusive breastfeeding, and on the total breastfeeding duration.
NO2 within the hood was less than 1 ppm in all infants over the duration of the study.
In combined group analysis, abruptly weaning infants reduced the duration of HFNC required.
