Bilirubin Metabolism

The study by Blackburn and associates, showing the lack of additive effect of phenobarbital when used in combination with phototherapy in lowering the serum bilirubin concentration in one identical twin in each of six sets, eliminates the possible interference of genetic background on bilirubin metabolism. As part of a larger study, we have previously presented and reported similar results in a controlled study of 75 low birth weight infants of a predominantly Negro population. Members of each of our therapy groups (phenobarbital, light, phenobarbital and light, no therapy) were comparable with respect to birth weights and initial serum bilirubin concentrations, and were kept in similar environments, although their genetic backgrounds were dissimilar.

Low Birth Weight Infants

Pereira and Lemons (Controlled study of transpyloric and intermittent gavage feeding in the small preterm infant. Pediatrics 67:68, 1981) compared techniques of feeding low-birth-weight infants: transpyloric (nasoduodenal) feeding and intermittent gavage. They observed no significant differences for several parameters, and concluded that there was no difference between the two techniques in supplying nutrition to the low-birth-weight infants and that the transpyloric feeding could not be recommended because it was risky and difficult. According to our experience1 one of the advantages of the transpyloric feeding is that it permits a greater caloric and nutritional intake (140 to 150 kcal/kg/day) in the early days of life without the complications caused by the introduction of the same amount of nutrients into the stomach.

Objective To identify maternal factors associated with the presence of low birth weight in term neonates. Methods Matched hospital-based case-controlled study performed in a high complexity institution located in the city of Neiva, Colombia. The study included women with term gestation and singleton live fetuses. Patients with prior diseases, coming from other regions, with pregnancy resulting from assisted reproduction, or with a diagnosis of fetal abnormality or aneuploidy were excluded. Low birth weight was the dependent variable, and the independent variables that were analyzed were maternal sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Adjusted and non-adjusted odds ratios (aOR and OR) together with the 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were reported. Results The study included 270 participants (90 cases and 180 controls). Controlling for maternal age, educational level, socioeconomic and civil status, social security and the presence of maternal disease during gestation, it was found that weight gain (aOR 0.77, 95% CI 0.70–0.85) and the absence of prenatal care (aOR 8.20, 95% CI 3.22–20.87) were among the factors associated with low birth weight. Conclusions The absence of weight gain and of prenatal care are factors associated with the presence of low birth weight in term neonates and should be considered in clinical practice.

Low Birth Weight Infants

The present controlled study was to evaluate the effect of a feeding gastrostomy on the survival of infants with birth weights between 750 and 1,250 gm utilizing sequential analysis. A total of 122 infants were entered into the study at 48 to 72 hours after birth. A successful outcome was survival at 21 days. Of 54 matched pairs, 34 had a similar outcome and did not contribute to the sequential analysis. The outcome of the discordant pairs was recorded according to a prearranged scheme of sequential analysis. With the completion of the twentieth "untied" pair, the decision was made that mortality with gastrostomy was higher than that with routine feedings.

Appropriate For Gestational Age

There were 53 appropriate for gestational age infants with a birth weight of less than 1,700 gm admitted to the Children's Hospital in Denver who were randomly assigned to two groups for gavage or transpyloric (nasojejunal) feedings. The two groups were not significantly different in terms of gestational age, birth weight, and morbidity. No significant differences were observed for caloric intake after 4 days of age, growth parameters (weight, length, and head circumference), serum total protein levels, feeding-related complications, duration of intravenous fluid supplementation, and length of hospitalization. The results indicate that intermittent gastric gavage feedings are as efficacious as transpyloric feedings in supplying nutrition to the low birth-weight infant. Because of inherently greater risks, costs, radiation, and requisite personnel expertise, transpyloric feedings cannot be recommended as a routine method of feeding for the low birth-weight infant.
