Neonatal infection and long-term neurodevelopmental outcome in the preterm infant

Adams-Chapman, Ira, Stoll, Barbara J·2006·Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases

Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The relationship between infection, the inflammatory response and adverse neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants is slowly being elucidated. The developing brain, particularly the periventricular white matter, is vulnerable to cytotoxic and hypoxic/ischemic injury, which places these infants at increased risk for abnormal cognitive and motor functioning. This review summarizes current data evaluating associations between infection and neurodevelopmental outcome in the preterm infant. RECENT FINDINGS: Preterm infants are at risk for intrauterine and postnatal infections. Recent studies have linked infection/inflammation associated with chorioamnionitis, sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis with adverse neurodevelopmental outcome and impaired growth in preterm infants. Investigators have also shown associations between infection and brain injury, including severe intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia. Very-low-birth-weight preterm infants are at substantial risk for neonatal infection, with associated morbidity and mortality. It is postulated that exposure of the preterm brain to inflammatory mediators during infectious episodes contributes to brain injury and poor developmental outcome. SUMMARY: Enhanced understanding of the interaction of infection, inflammation and brain injury will be critical to developing strategies to improve neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
