Cranial ultrasound examinations were performed on 533 infants of between 48 and 96 hours of age to establish the range of ventricular size in neonates of different gestational ages in whom there was no evidence of intraventricular hemorrhage or neural tube defects. It was found that ventricular size did not vary in infants with gestational age of 26 weeks or more. Only 15 (2.8 per cent) neonates had a ventricular width of greater than 3 mm. Of these 15 infants, 13 were re-examined within the first year of life and found to be neurologically and developmentally normal.

Evidence for a cross-over in breast cancer risk factors. confounding variables by logistic function regression the risk of dying for those transferred remained significantly higher than that for infants who remained (relative odds=4-6, 95% confidence interval 1-8 to 12-1).As the requirement for neonatal intensive care is episodic and unpredictable more flexibility has to be built into the perinatal health care system to enable preterm infants delivered in tertiary perinatal centres to be cared for where they are born.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
