Exploring the Early-Life Microbiomes of Preterm Infants and Their Childhood Health Outcomes (The BLOOM Study): Protocol for a Prospective, Observational Cohort Study

Michelle R. Asbury, Andrea Guedez, Jessica Lee, Emily M. Mercer et autres

Background: Establishment of the gut microbiome during the first years of life is critically important for long-term health and development. In preterm infants, microbial colonization is disrupted due to their developmental immaturity and the myriad of pre- and postnatal exposures. Unfortunately, this …

Multi-strain probiotics for Canadian preterm infants: a call for action

Belal N. Alshaikh, Joseph Yuk Ting, Kumar Kumaran, Horacio C. Osiovich et autres

Strong evidence demonstrates that specific multi-strain probiotics substantially reduce the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis and all-cause mortality in preterm infants. While many high-income nations have access such preparations into routine neonatal practice, Canadian preterm infants do not currently have access to this …

Establishment of the gut microbiome in preterm infants is associated with exposure to stress-inducing medical interventions

Emily M. Mercer, Sarah Piche-Choquette, Julia Gorospe, Zahra Rangipour et autres

The gut microbiome of preterm infants follows distinct maturational trajectories relative to that of term infants, largely determined by gestational age at birth. While the development of the bacterial microbiome in preterm infants has been characterized in the context of known microbiome-modifying …

Probiotic supplementation – does it prevent or cause neonatal sepsis?

Nicholas David Embleton, Chris H.P. van den Akker, Belal N. Alshaikh

Probiotic supplementation in preterm infants is one of the most extensively studied interventions in neonatal medicine, with over 50 randomised controlled trials. This paper examines the relationship between probiotic supplementation and late onset sepsis (LOS), considering mechanistic pathways, clinical evidence, and safety …

Fenton Third‐Generation Growth Charts of Preterm Infants Without Abnormal Fetal Growth: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Tanis R. Fenton, Seham AA Elmrayed, Belal N. Alshaikh

BACKGROUND: Experts recommend assessing preterm infant growth against fetal growth patterns. However, obtaining accurate estimates of healthy fetal growth from preterm infants is challenging as many had intrauterine faltering growth. OBJECTIVES: To improve preterm infant growth assessments by developing Fenton third-generation sex-specific …
