Use of parenteral nutrition in the first postnatal week in England and Wales: an observational study using real-world data
Webbe J, Battersby C, Longford N, Oughham K, Uthaya S, Modi N, et al.
BMJ Paediatr Open . 2022 Sep; 6(1). PMID: 36053624
Background: Parenteral nutrition (PN) is used to provide supplemental support to neonates while enteral feeding is being established. PN is a high-cost intervention with beneficial and harmful effects. Internationally, there...

A Mixed-Lipid Emulsion Containing Fish Oil for the Parenteral Nutrition of Preterm Infants: No Impact on Visual Neuronal Conduction
Binder C, Schned H, Longford N, Schwindt E, Thanhaeuser M, Thajer A, et al.
Nutrients . 2021 Dec; 13(12). PMID: 34959793
Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and essential for neuronal myelination and maturation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the use of a mixed-lipid emulsion...

Early versus later initiation of parenteral nutrition for very preterm infants: a propensity score-matched observational study
Uthaya S, Longford N, Battersby C, Oughham K, Lanoue J, Modi N
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed . 2021 Nov; 107(2):137-142. PMID: 34795009

Changes in neonatal admissions, care processes and outcomes in England and Wales during the COVID-19 pandemic: a whole population cohort study
Greenbury S, Longford N, Ougham K, Angelini E, Battersby C, Uthaya S, et al.
BMJ Open . 2021 Oct; 11(10):e054410. PMID: 34598993

Outcomes in relation to early parenteral nutrition use in preterm neonates born between 30 and 33 weeks' gestation: a propensity score matched observational study
Webbe J, Longford N, Battersby C, Oughham K, Uthaya S, Modi N, et al.
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed . 2021 Sep; 107(2):131-136. PMID: 34548324
Objective: To evaluate whether in preterm neonates parenteral nutrition use in the first 7 postnatal days, compared with no parenteral nutrition use, is associated with differences in survival and other...

Nutritional management in newborn babies receiving therapeutic hypothermia: two retrospective observational studies using propensity score matching
Gale C, Jeyakumaran D, Battersby C, Ougham K, Ojha S, Culshaw L, et al.
Health Technol Assess . 2021 Jun; 25(36):1-106. PMID: 34096500
Background: Therapeutic hypothermia is standard of care for babies with moderate to severe hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. There is limited evidence to inform provision of nutrition during hypothermia. Objectives: To assess the...

Administration of parenteral nutrition during therapeutic hypothermia: a population level observational study using routinely collected data held in the National Neonatal Research Database
Gale C, Jeyakumaran D, Longford N, Battersby C, Ojha S, Oughham K, et al.
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed . 2021 May; 106(6):608-613. PMID: 33952628
Background: Parenteral nutrition is commonly administered during therapeutic hypothermia. Randomised trials in critically ill children indicate that parenteral nutrition may be harmful. Objective: To examine the association between parenteral nutrition...

Changing clinical characteristics of infants treated for hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in England, Wales and Scotland: a population-based study using the National Neonatal Research Database
Hage L, Jeyakumaran D, Dorling J, Ojha S, Sharkey D, Longford N, et al.
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed . 2021 Feb; 106(5):501-508. PMID: 33541916
Background: Therapeutic hypothermia is standard of care for babies with moderate/severe hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy and is increasingly used for mild encephalopathy. Objective: Describe temporal trends in the clinical condition of babies...
