Ozawa Y, Miyake F, Isayama T. Efficacy and safety of permissive hypercapnia in preterm infants: A systematic review. Pediatr Pulmonol 2022; 57:2603-2613. [PMID: 35945674 DOI: 10.1002/ppul.26108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT In adults, permissive hypercapnia reduces mortality and ventilation duration. However, in preterm infants, the findings from past research regarding the efficacy and safety of permissive hypercapnia are controversial. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of permissive hypercapnia versus normocapnia in preterm infants on mechanical ventilation. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL STUDY SELECTION: Published randomized controlled trials (RCTs), non-RCTs, interrupted time series, cohort studies, case-control studies, and controlled before-and-after studies were included. DATA EXTRACTION Two reviewers independently screened the title, abstract, and full text, extracted data, assessed the risk of bias, and evaluated certainty of evidence (CoE) according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment and Development and Evaluation approach. A meta-analysis of RCTs was performed using the random-effects model. RESULTS Four RCTs (693 infants) and one cohort study (371 infants) were included. No significant differences existed between the permissive hypercapnia and normocapnia groups for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (risk ratio [RR], 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74-1.18; very low CoE) and a composite outcome of death or BPD (RR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.90-1.23; very low CoE). Permissive hypercapnia may increase necrotizing enterocolitis (RR, 1.69; 95% CI, 0.98-2.91; very low CoE), but the null or trivial effect cannot be excluded. No significant differences existed between the two groups for any other outcome assessed (very low-to-low CoE). LIMITATIONS The sample sizes were less than the optimal sizes for all outcomes assessed, indicating the need for further trials. CONCLUSIONS Permissive hypercapnia did not have any significant benefit or harm in preterm infants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have valvular heart disease requiring surgery. The optimal prosthetic valve is not established in this population. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess outcomes of patients with dialysis-dependent ESKD who received mechanical or bioprosthetic valves. METHODS We searched Cochrane Central, Medline and Embase from inception to January 2020. We performed screening, full-text assessment, risk of bias and data collection, independently and in duplicate. Data were pooled using a random-effects model. RESULTS We identified 28 observational studies (n = 9857 patients, including 6680 with mechanical valves and 3717 with bioprosthetic valves) with a median follow-up of 3.45 years. Twenty-two studies were at high risk of bias and 1 was at critical risk of bias from confounding. Certainty in evidence was very low for all outcomes except bleeding. Mechanical valves were associated with reduced mortality at 30 days (relative risk [RR] 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65-0.97, I 2 = 0, absolute effect 27 fewer deaths per 1000) and at 6 or more years (mean 9.7 yr, RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.72-0.96, I 2 = 79%, absolute effect 145 fewer deaths per 1000), but increased bleeding (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 2.46, 95% CI 1.41-4.27, I 2 = 59%, absolute effect 91 more events per 1000) and stroke (IRR 1.63, 95% CI 1.21-2.20, I 2 = 0%, absolute effect 25 more events per 1000). CONCLUSION Mechanical valves were associated with reduced mortality, but increased rate of bleeding and stroke. Given very low certainty for evidence of mortality and stroke outcomes, patients and clinicians may choose prosthetic valves based on factors such as bleeding risk and valve longevity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess associations between 5 min Apgar score and mortality and severe neurological injury (SNI) and to report test characteristics in preterm neonates. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS Retrospective cohort study of neonates 240 to 286 weeks' gestation born between 2007 and 2016 and admitted to neonatal units in 11 high-income countries. EXPOSURE 5 min Apgar score. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES In-hospital mortality and SNI defined as grade 3 or 4 periventricular/intraventricular haemorrhage or periventricular leukomalacia. Outcome rates were calculated for each Apgar score and compared after adjustment. The diagnostic characteristics and ORs for each value from 0 versus 1-10 to 0-9 versus 10, with 1-point increments were calculated. RESULTS Among 92 412 included neonates, as 5 min Apgar score increased from 0 to 10, mortality decreased from 60% to 8%. However, no clear increasing or decreasing pattern was identified for SNI. There was an increase in sensitivity and decrease in specificity for both mortality and SNI associated with increasing scores. The Apgar score alone had an area under the curve of 0.64 for predicting mortality, which increased to 0.73 with the addition of gestational age. CONCLUSIONS In neonates of 24-28 weeks' gestation admitted to neonatal units, higher 5 min Apgar score was associated with lower mortality in a graded manner, while the association with SNI remained relatively constant at all scores. Among survivors, low Apgar scores did not predict SNI.

International Variation in the Management of Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Its Association with Infant Outcomes: A Survey and Linked Cohort Study. J Pediatr 2022; 244:24-29.e7.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether treating patients with a presymptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), based on early routine echocardiography, performed regardless of clinical signs, improved outcomes. STUDY DESIGN This multicenter, survey-linked retrospective cohort study used an institutional-level questionnaire and individual patient-level data and included infants of <29 weeks of gestation born in 2014-2016 and admitted to tertiary neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) of 9 population-based national or regional neonatal networks. Infants in NICUs receiving treatment of presymptomatic PDA identified by routine echocardiography and those not were compared for the primary composite outcome (early death [≤7 days after birth] or severe intraventricular hemorrhage) and secondary outcomes (any in-hospital mortality and major morbidities). RESULTS The unit survey (response rates of 86%) revealed a wide variation among networks in the treatment of presymptomatic PDA (7%-86%). Among 246 NICUs with 17 936 infants (mean gestational age of 26 weeks), 126 NICUs (51%) with 7785 infants treated presymptomatic PDA. The primary outcome of early death or severe intraventricular hemorrhage was not significantly different between the NICUs treating presymptomatic PDA and those who did not (17% vs 21%; aOR 1.00, 95% CI 0.85-1.18). The NICUs treating presymptomatic PDA had greater odds of retinopathy of prematurity treatment (13% vs 7%; aOR 1.47, 95% CI 1.01-2.12); however, it was not significant in a sensitivity analysis excluding Japanese data. CONCLUSIONS Treating presymptomatic PDA detected by routine echocardiography was commonplace but associated with no significant benefits. Well-designed trials are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of early targeted PDA treatment.

Abstract
CONTEXT For many years the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation has recommended the use of tactile stimulation for initial management of infants born with inadequate respiratory effort at birth without systematically examining its effectiveness. OBJECTIVE Systematic review to compare the effectiveness of tactile stimulation with routine handling in newly born term and preterm infants. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, along with clinical trial registries. STUDY SELECTION Randomized and non-randomized studies were included based on predetermined criteria. DATA EXTRACTION Data were extracted independently by authors. Risk of Bias in Nonrandomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) was used to assess risk of bias in non-randomized studies. Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) was used to assess the certainty of evidence. RESULTS Among 2455 unique articles identified, 2 observational studies were eligible and qualitatively summarized. Because one of the studies was at critical risk of bias, only the other study including 243 preterm infants on continuous positive airway pressure with clinical indications for tactile stimulation was analyzed. It showed a reduction in tracheal intubation in infants receiving tactile stimulation compared with no tactile stimulation (12 of 164 vs 14 of 79, risk ratio of 0.41 [95% confidence interval 0.20 to 0.85]); however, the certainty of evidence was very low. LIMITATIONS The available data were limited and only from observational studies. CONCLUSIONS A potential benefit of tactile stimulation was identified but was limited by the very low certainty of evidence. More research is suggested to evaluate the effectiveness as well as the optimal type and duration of tactile stimulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia is a standard of care for neonatal encephalopathy; however, approximately one in two newborn infants fails to respond to this treatment. Recent studies have suggested potential relationships between body temperature, heart rate and the outcome of cooled infants. METHODS The clinical data of 756 infants registered to the Baby Cooling Registry of Japan between January 2012 and December 2016 were analysed to assess the relationship between body temperature, heart rate and adverse outcomes (death or severe impairment at 18 months corrected age). RESULTS A lower body temperature at admission was associated with adverse outcomes in the univariate analysis (P < 0.001), the significance of which was lost when adjusted for the severity of encephalopathy and other covariates. A higher body temperature during cooling and higher heart rate before and during cooling were associated with adverse outcomes in both univariate (all P < 0.001) and multivariate (P = 0.012, P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively) analyses. CONCLUSIONS Severe hypoxia-ischaemia might be a common causative of faster heart rates before and during cooling and low body temperature before cooling, whereas causal relationships between slightly higher temperatures during cooling and adverse outcomes need to be elucidated in future studies. IMPACT In a large cohort of encephalopathic newborn infants, dual roles of body temperature to the outcome were shown; adverse outcomes were associated with a lower body temperature at admission and higher body temperature during cooling. A higher heart rate before and during cooling were associated with adverse outcomes. Severe hypoxia-ischaemia might be a common causative of faster heart rates before and during cooling and low body temperature before cooling. The exact mechanism underlying the relationship between slightly higher body temperature during cooling and adverse outcomes remains unknown, which needs to be elucidated in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Japan, the definition and classification of neonatal chronic lung disease (CLD) used for its diagnosis are a combination of those used in Japan and abroad. METHODS To clarify the current state of CLD diagnosis, a questionnaire survey was conducted. RESULTS Half of the patients of the medical centers included in the study were diagnosed with CLD in real time, while the other half were diagnosed after discharge. In addition, in approximately 70% of the facilities, diagnosis was made after discussions various among medical teams. In approximately 80% of the centers, the chest radiography used for CLD diagnosis were evaluated by multiple doctors. Furthermore, some centers used chest X-rays that were taken at approximately 28 days of age for CLD diagnosis, whereas at other facilities, diagnosis was made regardless of time at which the chest radiography were obtained. Only a small number of centers have established criteria for determining the necessity of oxygen at the corrected age of 36 weeks, and the target saturation of peripheral oxygen levels also tend to vary for each facility. Whether the conditions wherein the patient receives respiratory support for apnea or respiratory tract diseases should be considered as CLD also differed among the facilities. CONCLUSIONS It is necessary to reassess the definition and classification of CLD in Japan to accurately evaluate and improve the quality of respiratory management based on the long-term prognosis.

Abstract
The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation initiated a continuous review of new, peer-reviewed published cardiopulmonary resuscitation science. This is the fifth annual summary of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations; a more comprehensive review was done in 2020. This latest summary addresses the most recently published resuscitation evidence reviewed by International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task force science experts. Topics covered by systematic reviews in this summary include resuscitation topics of video-based dispatch systems; head-up cardiopulmonary resuscitation; early coronary angiography after return of spontaneous circulation; cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the prone patient; cord management at birth for preterm and term infants; devices for administering positive-pressure ventilation at birth; family presence during neonatal resuscitation; self-directed, digitally based basic life support education and training in adults and children; coronavirus disease 2019 infection risk to rescuers from patients in cardiac arrest; and first aid topics, including cooling with water for thermal burns, oral rehydration for exertional dehydration, pediatric tourniquet use, and methods of tick removal. Members from 6 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task forces have assessed, discussed, and debated the quality of the evidence, according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria, and their statements include consensus treatment recommendations or good practice statements. Insights into the deliberations of the task forces are provided in Justification and Evidence-to-Decision Framework Highlights sections. In addition, the task forces listed priority knowledge gaps for further research.

J Cardiol 2021; 78:487-492. [PMID: 34481720 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2021.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Revised: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 07/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is inconsistent evidence suggesting the clinical relevance of the early detection of future needs of preterm patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) surgery. We tested the hypothesis that echocardiographic indices at 3 days of age predict the future need for PDA surgery. METHODS We analyzed a database including the clinical and echocardiographic data of 710 preterm infants with gestational ages between 23 and 29 weeks in 34 Japanese neonatal intensive care units, and prospectively collected data over 14 months. The predictive or discriminative ability of each echocardiographic index at 3 days of age for future PDA surgical closure was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression analyses with adjustment for gestational age, sex, and small-for-gestational-age status, according to the areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of the models. RESULTS A total of 688 eligible patients (median gestational age: 26 weeks, body weight at birth: 843 g) were analyzed, of whom 77 (11%) underwent PDA surgery (median age: 21 days) after full consideration of clinical conditions. The AUC of PDA diameter (PDAd) was the largest, followed by that of the left pulmonary artery end-diastolic velocity (LPAedv). Compared with the ratio of left atrial-to-aorta diameter (AUC 0.76), PDAd (AUC 0.84, p < 0.001) and LPAedv (AUC 0.82, p = 0.003) were significantly better predictors of future PDA surgery. CONCLUSION Echocardiographic indices at 3 days of age, especially PDAd and LPAedv, may predict the future need for surgical closure of PDA in preterm infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare admission and emergency visits of late preterm (340/7-366/7 weeks) versus term infants (370/7-416/7 weeks) in the first 5 years. STUDY DESIGN This population-based cohort study included all singletons and twins born alive at 340/7 to 416/7 weeks' gestation registered in a health administrative database in Ontario, Canada, between April 1, 2002 and December 31, 2012. Admissions and emergency visits from initial postnatal discharge to 5 years were compared between late preterm and term infants adjusting for maternal and infant characteristics. RESULTS A total of 1,316,931 infants (75,364 late preterm infants) were included. Late preterm infants had more frequent admissions than term infants in the first 5 years in both singletons (adjusted incidence rate ratio [95% confidence interval] = 1.46 [1.42-1.49]) and twins (1.21 [1.11-1.31]). The difference in admissions between late preterm and term infants were smaller in twins than singletons and decreased with children's ages. Twins had less frequent admissions than singletons for late preterm infants, but not for term infants. The emergency visits were more frequent in late preterm than term infants in all the periods. CONCLUSION Admissions and emergency visits were more frequent in late preterm than term infants through the first 5 years. Admissions were less frequent in late preterm twins than singletons.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare length of stay (LOS) in neonatal care for babies born extremely preterm admitted to networks participating in the International Network for Evaluating Outcomes of Neonates (iNeo). STUDY DESIGN Data were extracted for babies admitted from 2014 to 2016 and born at 24 to 28 weeks of gestational age (n = 28 204). Median LOS was calculated for each network for babies who survived and those who died while in neonatal care. A linear regression model was used to investigate differences in LOS between networks after adjusting for gestational age, birth weight z score, sex, and multiplicity. A sensitivity analysis was conducted for babies who were discharged home directly. RESULTS Observed median LOS for babies who survived was longest in Japan (107 days); this result persisted after adjustment (20.7 days more than reference, 95% CI 19.3-22.1). Finland had the shortest adjusted LOS (-4.8 days less than reference, 95% CI -7.3 to -2.3). For each week's increase in gestational age at birth, LOS decreased by 12.1 days (95% CI -12.3 to -11.9). Multiplicity and male sex predicted mean increases in LOS of 2.6 (95% CI 2.0-3.2) and 2.1 (95% CI 1.6-2.6) days, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We identified between-network differences in LOS of up to 3 weeks for babies born extremely preterm. Some of these may be partly explained by differences in mortality, but unexplained variations also may be related to differences in clinical care practices and healthcare systems between countries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Canada and Japan each have strengths that can inform clinical decision-making, research, and health care policy regarding the prevention of PTB and its sequelae. Our objectives were to: 1) compare PTB rates, risk factors, management, and outcomes between Japan and Canada; 2) establish research priorities while fostering future collaborative opportunities; and 3) undertake knowledge translation of these findings. METHODS We conducted a literature review to identify publications that examined PTB rates, risk factors, prevention and management techniques, and outcomes in Japan and Canada. We conducted site visits at 4 Japanese tertiary centres and held a collaborative stakeholder meeting of parents, neonatologists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and researchers. RESULTS Japan reports lower rates of PTB, neonatal mortality, and several PTB risk factors than Canada. However, Canadian PTB data is population-based, whereas, in Japan, the rate of PTB is population-based, but outcomes are not. Rates of severe neurologic injury and necrotizing enterocolitis were lower in Japan, while Canada's rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and retinopathy of prematurity were lower. PTB prevention approaches differed, with less progesterone use in Japan and more long-term tocolysis. In Japan, there were lower rates of neonatal transfers and non-faculty overnight care, but also less use of antenatal corticosteroids and deferred cord clamping. Research priorities identified through the stakeholder meeting included early skin-to-skin contact, parental well-being after PTB, and transitions in care for the child. CONCLUSION We identified key differences between Japan and Canada in the factors affecting PTB management and patient outcomes, which can inform future research efforts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vancomycin (VCM) is useful for treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In infants, calibrating the initial VCM dose is difficult, and many regimens have been proposed. For instance, our center uses the VCM regimen recommended for infants in the 2012-13 Nelson's Pediatric Antimicrobial Therapy. Nonetheless, our experience has shown that the initial VCM trough concentrations were frequently off target. We therefore analyzed the data on the initial VCM trough concentration in infant patients at our center. METHODS The study subjects were inborn infants born between July 2014 and June 2019 who were given VCM at earlier than day 60 in the neonatal intensive care unit. The primary outcome was the initial VCM trough concentration. The patients were divided into three groups by VCM trough concentration: <10, 10-15, and >15 mg/L. We also estimated VCM trough concentration by one method using Monte Carlo simulation, based on Nelson regimen dosage. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were analyzed. The number of patients with <10, 10-15, and >15 mg/L was 24, 4, and 5, respectively. There was no significant difference in clinical characteristics between <10 versus 10-15 and 10-15 versus >15 mg/L. The numbers of patients with <10, 10-15, and >15 mg/L in the simulation were 26, 6, and 1, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Most initial VCM trough concentrations were below the target. We could not find any significant clinical characteristics, which affected VCM trough concentration. Increasing the VCM dosage of the Nelson regimen with simulation should therefore be considered.

Abstract
CONTEXT Parent/family presence at pediatric resuscitations has been slow to become consistent practice in hospital settings and has not been universally implemented. A systematic review of the literature on family presence during pediatric and neonatal resuscitation has not been previously conducted. OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review of the published evidence related to family presence during pediatric and neonatal resuscitation. DATA SOURCES Six major bibliographic databases was undertaken with defined search terms and including literature up to June 14, 2020. STUDY SELECTION 3200 titles were retrieved in the initial search; 36 ultimately included for review. DATA EXTRACTION Data was double extracted independently by two reviewers and confirmed with the review team. All eligible studies were either survey or interview-based and as such we turned to narrative systematic review methodology. RESULTS The authors identified two key sets of findings: first, parents/family members want to be offered the option to be present for their child's resuscitation. Secondly, health care provider attitudes varied widely (ranging from 15% to >85%), however, support for family presence increased with previous experience and level of seniority. LIMITATIONS English language only; lack of randomized control trials; quality of the publications. CONCLUSIONS Parents wish to be offered the opportunity to be present but opinions and perspectives on the family presence vary greatly among health care providers. This topic urgently needs high quality, comparative research to measure the actual impact of family presence on patient, family and staff outcomes. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020140363.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic juvenile xanthogranuloma is a very rare disease typically presents as skin lesions with yellow papules or nodules and is sometimes fatal. We report a case of congenital neonatal systemic juvenile xanthogranuloma with atypical skin appearance that made the diagnosis difficult. CASE PRESENTATION A preterm Japanese female neonate with prenatally diagnosed fetal hydrops in-utero was born with purpuric lesions involving the trunk and face. Since birth, she had hypoxemic respiratory failure, splenomegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, and was transfusion dependent for red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets. Multiple cystic lesions in her liver, part of them with vascular, were detected by ultrasound. A liver biopsy was inconclusive. A skin lesion on her face similar to purpura gradually changed to a firm and solid enlarged non-yellow nodule. Technically, the typical finding on skin biopsy would have been histiocytic infiltration (without Touton Giant cells) and immunohistochemistry results which then would be consistent with a diagnosis of systemic juvenile xanthogranuloma, and chemotherapy improved her general condition. CONCLUSIONS This case report shows that skin biopsies are necessary to detect neonatal systemic juvenile xanthogranuloma when there are organ symptoms and skin eruption, even if the skin lesion does not have a typical appearance of yellow papules or nodules.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread worldwide within a short period, and there is still no sign of an end to the pandemic. Management of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected pregnant women at the time of delivery presents a unique challenge. To fulfill the goal of providing adequate management of such women and their infants, and to decrease the risk of exposure of the healthcare providers, tentative guidelines are needed until more evidence is collected. Practical preventative action is required that takes into account the following infection routes: (i) aerosol transmission from mothers to healthcare providers, (ii) horizontal transmission to healthcare providers from infants infected by their mothers, and (iii) horizontal transmission from mothers to infants. To develop standard operating procedures, briefings/training simulations should be carried out, taking into account the latest information. Briefings should be carefully conducted to clarify the role and procedures. Healthcare providers should wear personal protective equipment. If it is physically possible, neonatal resuscitation should be performed in a separate area next to the delivery room. If a separate area is not available, the infant warmer should be placed at least 2 m away from the delivery table, or partitioned off in the same room. A minimum number of skilled personnel should participate in resuscitation using the latest neonatal resuscitation algorithms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure ulcers are the most common complications in bedridden patients or those with spinal cord injuries. Marjolin's ulcer refers to a malignant transformation arising from burn scars or chronic nonhealing wounds-such as pressure ulcers-over many years. Squamous cell carcinoma is the major histopathologic type of Marjolin's ulcer, and the gold standard for diagnosis is tissue biopsy. Medical professionals may have difficulty distinguishing pressure ulcers from Marjolin's ulcer, especially when the latter presents with invasive infections. Thus, malignant transformations arising from pressure ulcers are frequently overlooked. Herein, we describe a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from pressure ulcers on the left ischium, which was initially identified as a necrotizing soft tissue infection. CASE REPORT A 59-year-old paraplegic patient presented with stage 3 left ischial pressure ulcer, which involves full-thickness skin loss and extends into deep subcutaneous tissue, and arrived at our hospital with suspected sepsis. Upon physical examination, the patient presented with fever and shivering. Initial examination and imaging findings revealed the presence of necrotizing soft tissue infections. Three weeks later, rapid increase in granulation in the deep part of the ulcer was observed. Samples from multiples ulcer sites were collected for tissue biopsy. Finally, histological examination revealed well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The patient received radiation therapy and chemotherapy and died 11 months after the diagnosis. CONCLUSION Malignant transformations arising from pressure ulcers may closely resemble pressure ulcer infections. In these cases, tissue biopsies should be performed during primary care for the infection to exclude malignant transformations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite changes in prenatal diagnostic methods and perceptions regarding the prognosis of and treatment options for patients with trisomy 18 syndrome, data on the secular changes in patient survival are limited. This study aimed to investigate the survival pattern for such patients. METHODS To investigate the general patient survival patterns, we used data from the vital statistics database of deaths in Japan from 1975 to 2016. We described demographic factors, such as sex, gestational age at delivery, and surgical history, for patients whose primary cause of death was trisomy 18 syndrome. RESULTS The proportions of deaths within 24 h of birth (4.0% in 1975-1980 to 21.9% in 2011-2016) and at age ≥1 year (8.9% in 1975-1980 to 17.7% in 2011-2016) increased. The median survival time was higher for females, infants born after 37 weeks of gestation, and those who received surgical intervention. The median survival time tripled among patients who received surgical intervention (61.5 days in 1995-2005 to 182.5 days in 2006-2016), and the proportion of such patients increased (from 3.8% in 1995 to 24.1% of the entire affected population in 2016). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION In Japan, the median survival time of infants with trisomy 18 increased over time, and the proportion of death within 24 h and at ≥1 year increased. Greater acknowledgement of the possible benefits of surgical intervention likely led to the increased provision of interventions and contributed to the increased survival time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Infant boys have worse outcomes than girls. In twins, the 'male disadvantage' has been reported to extend to female co-twins via a 'masculinising' effect. We studied the association between sex pairing and neonatal outcomes in extremely preterm twins. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study SETTING: Eleven countries participating in the International Network for Evaluating Outcomes of Neonates. PATIENTS Liveborn twins admitted at 23-29 weeks' gestation in 2007-2015. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We examined in-hospital mortality, grades 3/4 intraventricular haemorrhage or cystic periventricular leukomalacia (IVH/PVL), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), retinopathy of prematurity requiring treatment and a composite outcome (mortality or any of the outcomes above). RESULTS Among 20 924 twins, 38% were from male-male pairs, 32% were from female-female pairs and 30% were sex discordant. We had no information on chorionicity. Girls with a male co-twin had lower odds of mortality, IVH/PVL and the composite outcome than girl-girl pairs (reference group): adjusted OR (aOR) (95% CI) 0.79 (0.68 to 0.92), 0.83 (0.72 to 0.96) and 0.88 (0.79 to 0.98), respectively. Boys with a female co-twin also had lower odds of mortality: aOR 0.86 (0.74 to 0.99). Boys from male-male pairs had highest odds of BPD and composite outcome: aOR 1.38 (1.24 to 1.52) and 1.27 (1.16 to 1.39), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Sex-related disparities in outcomes exist in extremely preterm twins, with girls having lower risks than boys and opposite-sex pairs having lower risks than same-sex pairs. Our results may help clinicians in assessing risk in this large segment of extremely preterm infants.
