This process resulted in a pediatric trigger tool (PTT) consisting of 88 triggers in seven modules (Care, Surgical, Medication, Intensive care, Infant, Perinatal, and Emergency Department modules).
Main outcome measures Unassisted vertex delivery, live birth, perinatal death, onset of labour, gestation, use of analgesia, duration of labour, perineal trauma, Apgar scores, admission to neonatal intensive care, infant feeding.
The relative stability of GP T1 in the face of postnatal development can be advantageous for the development of neuroimaging protocols predictive of outcomes in neonatal intensive care infants.
Despite surgery and intensive care the infant died 32 days after birth.
While I went in for the MRI, he sat in the infant intensive care unit, watching a very small baby who was dying of kidney failure.
An infant intensive care unit is "a very high-tech world filled with its own illnesses and lots of clinical jargon," said Dr. James Gray, the lead author of the study and Beth Israel's director of newborn services.
In spite of the intensive treatment, one infant died.
Corrected age, days of life, location of the infant (intensive care or intermediate care), respiratory care required (mechanical ventilation, CPAP, oxygen in a blender with nasal cannula, and without additional oxygen), poor saturation, whether any recommended analgesic was administered, and the duration of the examination, were also collated.
In the base-case analysis, neonatal intensive care for infants born at 24-26, 27-29, and 30-33 weeks gestational age prolonged life expectancy by 28, 43, and 34 years and averted 9, 15, and 12 DALYs, at incremental costs per infant of US$11,400, US$9,500, and US$3,000, respectively, compared to an alternative of no intensive care.
