Declining Incidence of Infantile Hypertrophic Stenosis (IHPS) in Germany 2000-2008

2011

Background: The incidencce of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is highly variable over time and regionally different. There have been reports of declining incidence in Sweden, the US, Denmark and Scotland. In Sweden, the decline observed was parallel to the declining incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and was attributed to campaigns against prone sleeping position.

987 Emipediology and Morbidity of Late Preterm Neonates in Correlation with Maternal Risk Factors in Hessen, Germany

2012

Short and long term morbidity in late preterm neonates (LP) and their correlation to maternal risk factors are relevant as shown in multiple studies in North America and European countries. Epidemiological studies showed an increase in LP birth over time. Corresponding data for Germany have not yet been published. Our goal was to evaluate the epidemiology of LP over a 7 year period and the correlation to potential maternal risk factors in Hessen, Germany. Data was collected from the perinatal und neonatal quality assurance in Hessen form 2001 to 2007. For some calculations the two data sets were merged. Overall the data sets of 360.000 births and 44.000 neonatal hospitalizations were availa…

Ante-, peri- and postnatal factors associated with intraventricular hemorrhage in very premature infants.

2017

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is one of the most serious complications in preterm infants and is associated with neurological sequelae and mortality. Over the past few decades, the rate of IVH has decreased due to improved neonatal intensive care. However, up to 15-25% of very and extremely premature infants (32 and28weeks of pregnancy (WOP) respectively) still suffer from IVH.The aim of this study was to perform an updated, multicenter analysis to identify ante-, peri, and postnatal factors other than gestational age/birth weight associated with IVH of any grade in a large cohort of very and extremely premature infants.We performed a retrospective analysis in a prospectively conducted …
