Enteral vs parenteral nutrition
Premature babies are born before the completion of 37 weeks of gestation. These babies are at a high risk of developing nutritional deficiencies, which can have long-term consequences on their growth and development. Nutritional support is, therefore, essential for these babies, and there are two main routes of administering nutrients to premature babies: enteral and […]
When Can My preemie baby Go Home?
Premature birth is defined as a birth that occurs before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Your baby is a preemie if born prematurely, and it may take longer for you to be able to take your preemie home compared to full-term babies. The time frame for a premature baby to go home depends on several factors […]
Autism in preterm populations
Autism and preterm birth are two distinct conditions, but recent research has shown a link between the two. Preterm birth, also known as premature birth, refers to the delivery of a baby before 37 weeks of gestation. In contrast, autism is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication, and by […]
The Social and Economic Disadvantages of Preterm Birth
Do social and economic disparities, within the same country, determine different prematurity risk levels? In other words, are pregnant women with lower income or living in a socially and economically disadvantaged environment more likely to give birth to a preterm baby? Several studies show that the answer is yes! Let’s consider the USA, for instance. […]
The impact of social determinants on health outcomes in pregnant women and their infants
The power of data analysis is revolutionising all industrial sectors and the way in which many professionals work and take decisions. Healthcare makes no exception, and this is particularly true when risk prediction of developing specific conditions and diseases, as well as their management, come into play. In neonatology, we know that several diseases are […]

Is targeted fortification cost-beneficial?
Several studies have been executed so far to assess the benefits of the targeted fortification approach when compared to the standard approach currently adopted (see Fabrizio 2020 for a recent review). These studies allowed us to appreciate the potentiality of targeted fortification in improving the clinical outcomes for preterm infants. While standard fortification poses the […]
