Abstract
Tremendous advancements in neonatal respiratory care have contributed to the improved survival of extremely preterm infants (gestational age ≤ 28 weeks). While mechanical ventilation is often considered one of the most important breakthroughs in neonatology, it is also associated with numerous short and long-term complications. For those reasons, clinical research has focused on strategies to avoid or reduce exposure to mechanical ventilation. Nonetheless, in the extreme preterm population, 70-100% of infants born 22-28 weeks of gestation are exposed to mechanical ventilation, with nearly 50% being ventilated for ≥ 3 weeks. As contemporary practices have shifted towards selectively reserving mechanical ventilation for those patients, mechanical ventilation weaning and extubation remain a priority yet offer a heightened challenge for clinicians. In this review, we will summarize the evidence for different strategies to expedite weaning and assess extubation readiness in preterm infants, with a particular focus on extremely preterm infants.

Abstract
Preterm birth causes constant challenges, with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) being a major concern. Immediately after birth, it takes time to establish feeding between the mother and the premature baby. During this time, the telological shifting of fluid from extracellular space to intracellular space will help the baby; this transition should be smooth. Both normal physiologic changes and pathophysiologic events are capable of disrupting this delicate fluid shifting that occurs in very low-birth-weight infants during the first week of life. The immaturity of the renal system and evaporative losses complicate this process. This lack of fluid displacement can be associated with an increased amount of water in the lungs and reduced lung compliance. This can lead to the need for more ventilatory support and a higher oxygen requirement, which, in turn, leads to lung damage. The fluid restriction is also associated with complications such as severe dehydration, intracranial hemorrhage, and bilirubin toxicity. However, the administration of large amounts of fluid and salt is associated with an increased incidence of patent ductus arteriosus, BPD, necrotizing enterocolitis, and intraventricular hemorrhage. There were studies conducted in both the pre-surfactant and surfactant eras that were inconclusive regarding fluid restriction in BPD. We only included very recent studies. This systematic review attempts to summarize the current evidence, focusing on the efficacy and safety of early fluid management in preterm infants. This reduces the risk of BPD and improves outcomes for premature infants. As we know, intact survival is very important. Our review supported the early fluid restriction.

Abstract
Premature births account for over 10% of live births worldwide. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) represents a severe sequela in neonates born very prematurely and remains the most common chronic neonatal lung disease, often leading to serious adverse consequences in adulthood. Nutrition plays a crucial role in lung development and repair. Ongoing research has primarily focused on the pathogenesis and prevention of BPD in preterm birth. However, infants with established BPD need specialist medical care that persists throughout their hospitalization and continues after discharge. This manuscript aims to highlight the impact of growth and nutrition on BPD and highlight research gaps to provide direction for future studies. Protective practices include ensuring adequate early energy delivery through parenteral nutrition and enteral feedings while carefully monitoring total fluid intake and the use of breast milk over formula. These nutritional strategies remain the same for infants with established BPD with the addition of limiting the use of diuretics and steroids; but if employed, monitoring carefully without compromising total energy delivery. Functional nutrient supplements with a potential protective role against BPD are revisited, despite the limited evidence of their efficacy, including vitamins, trace elements, zinc, lipids, and sphingolipids. Planning post-intensive care and outpatient longitudinal nutrition support is critical in caring for an infant with established BPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human milk is the preferred diet for very low birth weight (VLBW, <1500 g) infants. When mother's own milk is unable to meet the needs of VLBW infants, donor human milk (DHM) is the preferred alternative. Unfortunately, the composition of DHM remains elusive and no comparative studies between preterm human milk and DHM have been performed previously. OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyze the nutrient content of commercial pooled DHM and compare nutrient content in DHM with that of early and mature preterm human milk. METHODS We analyzed nutrient content in 15 DHM samples provided from 7 commercial milk banks including calories, carbohydrate, fat, protein, sodium, chloride, potassium, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin D and compared each nutrient to early (7 d of life) and mature (28 d of life) preterm human milk samples (n = 28-36 per nutrient, gestational age = 28 ± 3 wk). Protein-to-energy ratio and carbohydrate-to-nonprotein energy ratio were calculated for each sample and compared. RESULTS Mean values for all macro- and micronutrients in DHM are reported. In comparison to early or mature preterm human milk, DHM had significantly lower protein, sodium, chloride, potassium, and zinc content. Calorie, carbohydrate, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin D content did not differ statistically between DHM and early or mature preterm human milk. Fat content was modestly lower in early but not mature human milk when compared with DHM. CONCLUSIONS We provide mean values for several macro- and micronutrients for DHM and identify key differences between DHM and preterm human milk, which may be considered when designing human milk-based feeding plans. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT05742815.

Abstract
During the fetal-to-neonatal transitional period, extremely preterm newborns undergo significant intrabody fluid shifts and resulting weight loss due to increased insensible fluid losses due to immature skin, kidneys, among other factors. These ongoing physiologic changes make fluid and nutritional management complex in the neonatal-to-fetal transitional time period for extremely premature newborns. However, limited literature exists to guide optimal practices for providers caring for this population. Here, we review the evidence on optimal fluid and nutritional management during the fetal-to-neonatal transition of extremely preterm newborns.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review systematically and assess the accuracy of prediction models for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age. STUDY DESIGN Searches were conducted in MEDLINE and EMBASE. Studies published between 1990 and 2022 were included if they developed or validated a prediction model for BPD or the combined outcome death/BPD at 36 weeks in the first 14 days of life in infants born preterm. Data were extracted independently by 2 authors following the Critical Appraisal and Data Extraction for Systematic Reviews of Prediction Modelling Studies (ie, CHARMS) and PRISMA guidelines. Risk of bias was assessed using the Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool (ie, PROBAST). RESULTS Sixty-five studies were reviewed, including 158 development and 108 externally validated models. Median c-statistic of 0.84 (range 0.43-1.00) was reported at model development, and 0.77 (range 0.41-0.97) at external validation. All models were rated at high risk of bias, due to limitations in the analysis part. Meta-analysis of the validated models revealed increased c-statistics after the first week of life for both the BPD and death/BPD outcome. CONCLUSIONS Although BPD prediction models perform satisfactorily, they were all at high risk of bias. Methodologic improvement and complete reporting are needed before they can be considered for use in clinical practice. Future research should aim to validate and update existing models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload leads to poor neonatal outcomes. Diuretics may lower the rates of mechanical ventilation (MV) and mortality in neonates with fluid overload. METHODS This is a retrospective study of preterm neonates ≤ 36 weeks of gestational age (GA) in the first 14 postnatal days in a level IV NICU in 2014-2020. We evaluated the epidemiology of fluid balance in the first 14 postnatal days and its association with MV and mortality and studied the association of diuretics with fluid balance, MV, and mortality. RESULTS In 1383 included neonates, the overall median lowest and peak fluid balances were - 7.8% (IQR: - 11.7, - 4.6) and 8% (3, 16) on days 3 (2, 5) and 13 (5, 14), respectively. Fluid balance distribution varied significantly by GA. Peak fluid balance of ≥ 10% was associated with increased odds of MV on days 7 and 14 with highest odds ratios (OR) of MV in neonates with fluid balance ≥ 15%. Peak fluid balance of ≥ 15% was associated with the greatest odds of mortality. Diuretics were used more frequently in neonates with younger GA, smaller birthweight, positive fluid balance, and those on MV. CONCLUSIONS Positive fluid balance negatively impacts pulmonary status. The odds of MV and death increase significantly as peak fluid balance percentage increases in all GA groups. The impact of diuretics on MV and death in preterm neonates needs further evaluation.

Abstract
Excessive accumulation of fluid may result in interstitial edema and multiorgan dysfunction. Over the past few decades, the detrimental impact of fluid overload has been further defined in adult and pediatric populations. Growing evidence highlights the importance of monitoring, preventing, managing, and treating fluid overload appropriately. Translating this knowledge to neonates is difficult as they have different disease pathophysiologies, and because neonatal physiology changes rapidly postnatally in many of the organ systems (i.e., skin, kidneys, and cardiovascular, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal). Thus, evaluations of the optimal targets for fluid balance need to consider the disease state as well as the gestational and postmenstrual age of the infant. Integration of what is known about neonatal fluid overload with individual alterations in physiology is imperative in clinical management. This comprehensive review will address what is known about the epidemiology and pathophysiology of neonatal fluid overload and highlight the known knowledge gaps. Finally, we provide clinical recommendations for monitoring, prevention, and treatment of fluid overload.

The association between BMI trajectories and bronchopulmonary dysplasia among very preterm infants. Pediatr Res 2022; 93:1609-1615.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between change in body mass index (BMI) from birth to 36 weeks gestation (ΔBMI) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) among infants born <30 weeks gestation. METHODS This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study (2015-2018) of infants born <30 weeks gestation and alive at ≥34 weeks corrected. Main exposure was a change in BMI z score from birth to 36 weeks corrected age grouped into quartiles of change. Association between ΔBMI z scores and BPD was assessed using generalized linear mixed models. RESULTS Among 772 included infants, 51% developed BPD. From birth to 36 weeks CGA, the weight z score of infants with BPD decreased less than for BPD-free infants, despite a greater decrease in length z score and similar caloric intake resulting in increases in BMI z score (median [IQR], 0.16 [-0.64; 1.03] vs -0.29 [-1.03; 0.49]; P < 0.01). In the adjusted analysis, higher ΔBMI z score quartiles were associated with higher odds of BPD (Q3 vs Q2, AOR [95% CI], 2.02 [1.23; 3.31] and Q4 vs Q2, AOR [95% CI], 2.00 [1.20; 3.34]). CONCLUSION Among preterm infants, an increase in BMI z score from birth to 36 weeks corrected is associated with higher odds of BPD. IMPACT Preterm infants with evolving lung disease often experience disproportionate growth in the neonatal period. In this multicenter cohort study, increases in BMI z score from birth to 36 weeks CGA were associated with higher odds of BPD. Despite similar caloric intake, infants with BPD had a higher weight- but lower length-for-age, resulting in higher BMI z score compared to BPD-free infants. This suggests that infants with evolving BPD may require different growth and nutritional targets compared to BPD-free infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate maximal weight loss (MWL) and total fluid administration (TFA) association in first week after birth with outcomes among extremely preterm (EP) newborns. STUDY DESIGN We performed a retrospective analysis of the Preterm Erythropoietin Neuroprotection Trial evaluating first-week MWL, TFA, and association with in-hospital outcomes. RESULTS Among n = 883 included EP neonates, n = 842 survived ≥ 7 days and were included in outcome analyses. MWL between 5% to 15% was associated with decreased odds of necrotizing enterocolitis compared to MWL > 15% (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.25-0.98). Average TFA > 150 mL/kg birthweight/day was associated with increased odds of necrotizing enterocolitis (OR 3.22, 95% CI 1.40-7.42) and patent ductus arteriosus requiring surgery (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15). CONCLUSION MWL between 5% to 15% is a potentially optimal window of MWL. Increasing average TFA in the first week is associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. Prospective studies evaluating MWL and TFA and relationship to outcomes in EP neonates are needed.

Abstract
The optimal fluid requirements for extremely preterm infants are not fully known. We examined retrospectively the fluid intakes during the first week of life in two cohorts of extremely preterm infants born at 22–26 weeks of gestation before (n = 63) and after a change from a restrictive to a more liberal (n = 112) fluid volume allowance to improve nutrient provision. The cohorts were similar in gestational age and birth weight, but antenatal steroid exposure was more frequent in the second era. Although fluid management resulted in a cumulative difference in the total fluid intake over the first week of 87 mL/kg (p < 0.001), this was not reflected in a mean weight loss (14 ± 5% at a postnatal age of 4 days in both groups) or mean peak plasma sodium (142 ± 5 and 143 ± 5 mmol/L in the restrictive and liberal groups, respectively). The incidences of hypernatremia (>145 and >150 mmol/L), PDA ligation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and IVH were also similar. We conclude that in this cohort of extremely preterm infants a more liberal vs. a restricted fluid allowance during the first week had no clinically important influence on early changes in body weight, sodium homeostasis, or hospital morbidities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the influence of fluid overload on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very low-birth-weight infants (VLBWI) within 1 week after birth. METHODS This was a retrospective case control study conducted in the Jingzhou Central Hospital. The clinical data of VLBWI (with a birth weight [BW] < 1,500 g and 26 weeks ≤ gestational age [GA] < 32 weeks) who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of this hospital from January 2016 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 157 cases were enrolled and divided into a BPD group (n = 60) and a non-BPD group (n = 97) according to whether BPD was present. The general condition, fluid intake, and fluid overload of the two groups of neonates within 1 week after birth were compared. The logistic regression was used to assess the association between infant characteristics and BPD. The ROC curve was used to assess how well the 7 day cumulative fluid overload predicted BPD, and to identify an optimal cut off for prediction. RESULTS The comparison of the patients' general condition revealed that the neonates in the BPD group had a younger GA, lower BW, lower 5-min Apgar score, longer duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, and higher incidence of intrauterine infections and administration of surfactants (P < 0.05). The differences in the other indicators were not statistically significant between the two groups. The logistic regression analysis revealed that a younger GA, the presence of intrauterine infection, and a 7-day cumulative fluid overload were the risk factors for the development of BPD. A ROC curve was plotted with the 7-day cumulative fluid overload as the test variable and BPD as the status variable. The area under the curve was 0.75 (95% confidence interval: 0.664-0.826, P = 0.042), with a sensitivity of 76.7% and a specificity of 70.1%, corresponding to a 7-day cumulative fluid overload of 36.2%. CONCLUSION A younger GA, the presence of intrauterine infection, and a 7-day cumulative fluid overload were risk factors for the development of BPD. A 7 day cumulative fluid overload threshold of 36.2% best predicted the development of BPD.
