#279 - đź“‘ Journal Club - The Complete Episode from February 9th 2025
In this episode of Journal Club, Ben and Daphna are back in the studio for a lively discussion on the latest neonatal research. They start by highlighting upcoming conferences, including the BPD Collaborative meeting, before diving into a mix of clinical and policy-driven studies shaping neonatal care.
They explore a JAMA Pediatrics study on the risk of apnea following two-month vaccinations in preterm infants, discussing how these findings impact vaccine counseling in the NICU. Next, they examine research on the link between pregnancy-induced hypertension and neonatal thrombocytopenia, offering insights into how maternal conditions affect early lab values and bleeding risks.
The episode also features an EBNEO segment with Dr. Srishti Jayakumar and Dr. Sarah DeMauro, covering a Brazilian randomized trial on parent-guided developmental interventions for very low birth weight infants. The findings reveal significant improvements in motor and language outcomes, reinforcing the power of early parental involvement.
Finally, they tackle the debate on NICU volume and outcomes, analyzing data that suggests higher-volume centers may improve mortality and morbidity rates—but with important caveats.
Packed with critical analysis, debate, and practical insights, this Journal Club episode is one you won’t want to miss!
