Background: Animal models suggest that neuroprotective effects of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after perinatal asphyxia are reduced in infants with early-onset sepsis. Objectives: To assess the outcome of infants with perinatal asphyxia, neonatal encephalopathy, and TH in the presence of early-onset sepsis. Methods: In a retrospective cohort of 1,084 infants with perinatal asphyxia and TH, the outcome of 42 infants (gestational age 36.1–42.6 weeks and birth weight 2,280–5,240 g) with proven sepsis (n = 14) and probable sepsis (n = 28) was analyzed. Death, cerebral palsy, or a delayed development at 2 years was considered an adverse outcome. Results: Sepsis was caused mostly by group B streptococci (n = 17), other Gram-positive bacteria (n = 5), and Candida albicans (n = 1). Of the 42 infants, 9 (21.4%) died, and 5 (11.9%) showed impairments on follow-up. The outcome is comparable to the previously reported outcome of infants with TH without early-onset sepsis. Conclusion: A good outcome was reported in the majority of infants with perinatal asphyxia, TH, and early-onset sepsis. Cooling should not be withheld from these infants.

“…The birthweights of the eligible infants were classified as SGA when they were below the tenth percentile for the corresponding gestational age. First, we applied a conventional, gender‐specific birthweight chart, based on live‐born singleton infants born in The Netherlands between 2000 and 2007 . Next, we applied a prescriptive, gender‐specific birthweight chart, based on infants from the same cohort but without risk factors for IUGR.…”

“…Next, we applied a prescriptive, gender‐specific birthweight chart, based on infants from the same cohort but without risk factors for IUGR. The inclusion criteria for this cohort were restricted to infants without congenital malformations, born to healthy mothers after uncomplicated pregnancies and spontaneous onset of labour . Finally, we applied a nongender‐specific foetal weight chart derived from ultrasonographic measurements from pregnancies in the United States .…”

“…Inspired by previous work , we hypothesised that our prescriptive birthweight charts would possibly approximate or even surpass foetal weight charts. The two birthweight charts used in our previous study were derived from the same data set as the sample population that was used to evaluate the charts . Because of concerns about the under‐reporting of neonatal morbidity in this data set, some uncertainty remained regarding the generalisability of the results.…”

“…Meanwhile, several studies have shown that foetal weight charts can improve the identification of SGA infants at risk of adverse neonatal outcomes, when compared to conventional population‐based birthweight charts . Alternatively, prescriptive birthweight charts derived from newborn infants who were not exposed to antenatal risk factors of IUGR have been reported to improve the identification of SGA infants at risk of neonatal mortality and morbidity . Unlike foetal weight charts, derived from estimated foetal weights and often compromised by large intra‐observer and inter‐observer variability , prescriptive birthweight charts are based on the actual birthweights of live‐born infants.…”

Objective Despite a growing literature on potential risk factors for eating disorders, longitudinal research starting before adolescence is scarce, and little is known about risk factors in males. We investigated risk factors in preadolescent boys and girls for the development of eating pathology in adolescence and young adulthood. Method This study is part of TRAILS (TRacking Adolescents' Individual Lives Survey), a Dutch population‐based cohort study (N = 2,229) from preadolescence into adulthood. Potential risk factors were measured at age 11, based on self‐report, reports of one of the parents, and records of the Preventive Child Healthcare. Variables included sociodemographic variables, pregnancy and perinatal factors, eating‐ and weight‐related factors, psychological functioning, stressful experiences and family factors. At age 19, two‐stage screening including interviews by eating disorder experts was used to examine the prevalence of eating disorders. At age 22 and 26, eating pathology was assessed by the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale. Results Preadolescent anxious distress and high weight were associated with eating pathology in adolescence and young adulthood in both boys and girls. Overeating in preadolescence was found to be a prodromal symptom of eating disorders during late adolescence. No evidence was found for sex‐specific risk factors. Discussion Anxious preadolescents with high weight are at increased risk for the development of eating pathology later on. Clinicians should be aware of eating disorder symptoms — like overeating — in this high‐risk group of children, and could consider an early intervention to prevent the development of full‐blown eating disorders.
