As a follow-up to Febuary's issue, March's issue also includes numerous articles on Racial, Social & Gender Disparities in Perinatal Medicine. A #neoEBM and #neoTwitter 🧵1/
2/ Leading off are two editorials. The first, led by @JPerinatology EIC's Patrick Gallagher, provides some insight on what we can do about disparities in perinatal health. go.nature.com/3bTZsrx
3/ The 2nd editorial is by @hhburris & @Meg_Parker_MD. They say the study by @KaylaKarvonen is a call to action for providers of preterm infants in the NICU and beyond to work toward health equity. go.nature.com/30QfsET
Next up in #HotTopicsNeo2020: Erik Jensen of @ChildrensPhila discussing how the baseline risk of BPD impacts the number needed to treat when considering effective therapies.

From the last session on periviability at @HotTopicsNeo, let’s get the pulse of the #neoEBM community with a few surveys (thread) #HotTopicsNeo2020
What is the earliest gestational age, assuming dating is correct, where you (or your hospital) routinely offer active postnatal resuscitation if desired by the family
If an infant at 22-24 weeks GA has evidence of inadequate organ perfusion (low urine output, decreasing BP), what is your first line treatment:
First up in: "Pharmacotherapy for BPD: We Know Less than We Think We Do" at #HotTopicsNeo2020 is Dr. Gerri Baer (@thegerribaer), Team Leader for Neonatology @US_FDA, discussing "Challenges in Studying Drugs for BPD"
@HotTopicsNeo #neoEBM
@HotTopicsNeo #neoEBM
Baer: no (zero, zilch, none!) drugs approved in the USA to prevent or treat BPD.
Highlights various cohorts demonstrating the ongoing high burden of BPD:

Baer: broad view of challenges to BPD Rx, illustrated by 3 buckets: understanding phenotypes/endotypes, definitions and classification and choosing adequate endpoints.

Highlights that this is a grey zone, where parental desires should be support
There is a substantial variability in in active care approaches by gestational age among European countries
Dr. Joseph Kaempf shares data from a systematic review and meta-analysis on whether neurodevelopment outcomes are changing over time in extremely premature infants #HotTopicsNeo2020 #neoEBM
The objective of the review was to evaluate within NICU or within cohort trends in NDI over time
A total of 13 studies were included in analysis
The Jerold F Lucey Keynote lecture delivered by Martin Elliott #LuceyLectureship #HotTopicsNeo2020 Lies and Their Impact in Academic Medicine @HotTopicsNeo #neoEBM
Some recent liars have been caught - but not all. #HotTopicsNeo2020
A stark warning that in our day of 'hype', online presence, celebrity, and social media that we must still be discerning ; just as journalist Bosse Lindquist in the synthetic tracheal implant scandal. #HotTopicsNeo2020
So when deferred cord clamping is not thought to be feasible, is cord milking a suitable alternative in terms of severe IVH? #HotTopicsNeo2020 #neoEBM
And introducing the inaugural Impact Article of the Year - extremely closely contested by @NPEU_CTU @dsweetbelfast @JonDorling18 @drbretty (to name just a few!) and won by @NeoAnup and his team!#HotTopicsNeo2020 #neoEBM
Are we paying too much for too little? @VPrasadMDMPH discusses the use of nusinersen for spinal muscular atrophy #HotTopicsNeo2020 #neoEBM
Monthly costs for orphan drug prices for rare conditions
The cost for nusinersen, an intrathecal therapy for SMA, costs approximately $125,000 per dose
In discussing therapies for skeletal dysplasia, @mikebbober highlights these are a heterogeneous group of unique disorders #HotTopicsNeo2020 #neoEBM
Best-practice guidelines for delivery and evaluation of patients with skeletal dysplasia ajog.org/article/S0002-… and skeletaldysplasia.org
Trial for a new enzyme-replacement therapy (ENB-0040) for severe hypophosphatasia: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
LMA for neonates?
Dr. Trevisanuto @UniPadova shares evidence regarding its use for neonatal resuscitation. #HotTopicsNeo2020 #neoEBM
Dr. Trevisanuto @UniPadova shares evidence regarding its use for neonatal resuscitation. #HotTopicsNeo2020 #neoEBM
Potential advantages of LMA use in neonates
Situations were LMA may be warranted for use in neonates
Telemedicine for neonatal resuscitation? @jenfang0908 shares the opportunities #HotTopicsNeo2020 #neoEBM
Can technology and telemedicine help close the gap in the mortality disparity for inborn and outborn infants?
Dr. Fang conducted a simulated study where pediatric trainees were assigned to two groups, one with telemedicine support
Drs. Myra Wyckoff @UTSWNews and Jonathan Wyllie provide an update on @Ilcor_org guidelines for neonatal life support #HotTopicsNeo2020 #neoEBM
Here is a link to the summary of updated guidelines: ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…
Recommendation (weak) against routine direct laryngoscopy and tracheal suctioning for non-vigorous newborn infants delivered through meconium-stained amniotic fluid
The rate of neonatal research output continues to rise. There are now nearly 10 publications indexed with "Infant, Premature" per day!

This is a big challenge to the neonatal provider trying to stay up-to-date in their evidence-based practice, and contributes to the knowledge translation void.

Perinatal management of #COVID19 will not be evidence-based until the #neoEBM community collects meaningful data. It the coming days to weeks, we will highlight research groups attempting to do this. Be a part of the collaborative solution by joining these efforts! #COVIDneo
The EPICENTRE initiative by @ESPNIC_Society is collecting clinical and physiopathological data on neonatal and pediatric SARS-COV-2 cases through RedCap. Details: espnic-online.org/News/Latest-Ne… #COVIDneo
The @AAPneonatal SONPM National Registry for Surveillance and Epidemiology of Perinatal COVID-19 Infection is ready to collect data! More info and forms (including IRB approval letter & data confidentiality agreement) at services.aap.org/en/community/a… (scroll down a bit) #covidneo
To conclude the hypoglycemia debate at #HotTopicsNeo2019: Jane Harding of @AucklandUni and @AucklandLiggins. Do you have a @Wikipedia page? She does en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Hard… (!) @HotTopicsNeo
At what glucose threshold level should you treat? Harding transparent up front: I DONT KNOW. Not for lack of effort. CHYLD study published in @NEJM large prospective cohort w/continuous glucose monitoring. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26465984
