Objective To study the school performance of children with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) relative to population controls from childhood to early adolescence. Design Population-based cohort ...

Objective To describe early management of infants born to a parent with gene-positive long QT syndrome (LQTS) referred for specialist review. Review the diagnostic utility of the early neonatal and ...

Metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP) is characterised by skeletal demineralisation, and in severe cases it can result in fragility fractures of long bones and ribs during routine handling.

Objective To evaluate the association of intrapartum magnesium sulfate for fetal neuroprotection (MgSO4-FN) with the delivery room resuscitation and neonatal outcomes of preterm infants in an era of ...
