As the #NeoMastodon->#NeoSky bridging does not work too well (only first post in a thread bridges, so my whole point was lost!)
Check the link below, some thoughts why things may not be as bad as they seem, because Sweden is such a great place to be 🤠 (from a #publichealth perspective)

Pilot study finds diaphragmatic thickness worsens with intubation in infants born < 28 wks but even > when sedation is given. Pause & consider if sedation is required on the ventilator & ask if non-pharmacological strategies are maximized? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40365938/ssss #NeoSky #MedSky

I deployed a calculator for 2025 Fenton 3rd generation preterm growth charts. Also analyzed effect of Fenton 2013 vs 2025 with n=2516 births <34 weeks (2016-2024): • rate of SGA (10%ile) classification from 9.2% to 21%, • mean ∆Z wt birth to discharge changed from -0.67 to -0.43 #NeoSky #PedSky

The 3rd generation Fenton preterm growth charts were recently released, so being a data geek, I did some analysis of how the Fenton 2003/2013/2025 and Olsen 2010 preterm charts compared, and harmonization with the WHO growth standards. Also some opinionated musing. #NeoSky #PedSky #rstats #dataviz

Even if survival is quite unlikely, I see the need of parents to at least try. You lose 100% who aren’t resuscitated in the 500g range. Parents may not know what lies ahead but they may be certain they don’t want to spend the rest of their lives asking “what if?” #NeoSky

Pilot study finds that fentanyl as sedation for newborns born < 28 weeks reduces diaphragmatic thickness at both end inspiration and expiration. Does sedation impact not just drive but respiratory muscle function? doi.org/10.1002/ppul... #NeoSky
