ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of the neonates who fell in the maternity ward and identify the incidence of near miss events during the immediate postpartum period. STUDY DESIGN: The study consisted of two steps. The retrospective part included the evaluation of admissions due to the in-hospital newborn fall for 6 years. The prospective part included the assessment of the near miss events (any probability of falling of the newborn; either cosleeping or an incident with a possible consequence of falling of the newborn) in the postpartum clinic (<72 hours after delivery) for a period of 4 weeks. The details of the events and clinical outcomes were recorded. A questionnaire about fatigue was administered to mothers who experienced near miss event. RESULTS: Seventeen in-hospital newborn falls were recorded: 1.8 to 2.4/10,000 live births. The median age of the neonates when the fall occurred was 22 (16-34) postnatal hours. Fourteen events (82%) occurred between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. All neonates who experienced a fall were discharged without any known adverse outcomes. Twelve mothers (71%) had experienced a near miss event before. In the prospective arm of the study, 67 out of 804 mothers (8.3%) were found to experience a near miss event (44/1,000 days of postpartum hospitalization). Thirty-two events (49%) occurred in the first postpartum day. Fifty-two events (78%) occurred between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Fifty-eight mothers (86%) had no companion. Sixty-three percent of the mothers expressed intense fatigue after delivery. CONCLUSION: In-hospital newborn fall may occur in the postpartum period, and near miss events should warn clinicians for a probable fall event. The nighttime shift requires more attention regarding the prevention of both the fall and the near miss events. Immediate postpartum mothers are needed to be observed carefully. KEY POINTS: · In-hospital newborn falls occurred mainly during the night shift.. · Nearly two-third of the mothers whose newborn was fallen experienced a previous near miss event.. · Any near miss event in the hospital was detected in 8.3% of mothers..

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We examined the morbidities and oxidative stress statuses in preterms receiving either SMOFlipid or ClinOleic. STUDY DESIGN: This observational study was performed in Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Hospital, Turkey. Infants received SMOFlipid (5 months) or ClinOleic (7 months). Two hundred and twenty seven infants (SMOFlipid: 93, ClinOleic: 134) very low birth weighted infants were included. The oxidative stress status was evaluated in infants at low risk of oxidative stress by total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI; TAC/TOS/100) at baseline, first week and third week. RESULTS: Parenteral nutrition was given for a median of 7 days in both groups. There were statistically insignificantly higher rates of retinopathy of prematurity (9.4 versus 11.7%) and chronic lung disease (4.7 versus 6.7%) in ClinOleic group compared with SMOFlipid group. The TAC, TOS and OSI decreased significantly in ClinOleic group after 1 week, and although the results were not statistically significant, the TAC increased while the TOS and OSI decreased in SMOFlipid group. In both groups, the TAC, TOS and OSI were lower than baseline after 3 weeks. CONCLUSION: SMOFlipid and ClinOleic result in similar oxidative stress statuses after they were stopped, and we detected no statistically significant differences in morbidity rates.

ABSTRACT

Hyperglycemia commencing within the first 6 months of life requires exogenous insulin therapy and, if the condition persists for >2 weeks, is termed neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM). This rare illness is of two types: transient and permanent NDM. Most cases come to medical attention because of nonspecific symptoms, including intrauterine growth retardation, dehydration, difficulties in feeding and inadequate weight gain. In the present article, we describe an infant who smelt of ketones during examination and who was diagnosed with transient NDM caused by a ZFP57 mutation, accompanied by ketoacidosis. This is the first report of such a condition.
