Antibiotic exposure at the beginning of life can lead to increased antimicrobial resistance
and perturbations of the developing microbiome. Early-life microbiome disruption increases …

Background. Premature infants receiving breastfeed have a lower incidence of NEC than
those fed preterm formula. This study aimed:(1) to update a systematic review and meta …

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease in premature infants and the
leading cause of death and disability from gastrointestinal disease in this vulnerable …

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening disease that predominantly affects very
low birth weight preterm infants. Development of NEC in preterm infants is accompanied by …

Background: Late-onset sepsis (LOS) in preterm infants is a leading cause of mortality and
morbidity. Timely recognition and initiation of antibiotics are important factors for improved …

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most devastating gastrointestinal emergency in
preterm neonates. Research on early predictive biomarkers is fundamental. This is a …

Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between empirical
antibiotic therapy in the first postnatal week in uninfected infants born very preterm and the …

The threshold to initiate empiric antibiotics for suspicion of early-onset sepsis (EOS) is low in
preterm infants. Antibiotics' effects on short-term outcomes have recently been debated. We …

Extremely preterm infants are particularly vulnerable to systemic infections secondary to
their immature immune defenses, prolonged hospitalizations, delays in enteral feeding …

Objective To determine the effect of timing of expression initiation on mother's own milk
production and time to secretory activation in mothers of preterm infants. Study design 180 …
