Important understandable point @NICU_Musings. This is the fundamental (too often repeated) problem of focusing research on unvalidated surrogate outcomes. Just as we showed that GMCSF increases WCC in growth restricted preterms but does not result in patient benefit (Lancet 2009)

Although darbepoetin for newborns 23-29 weeks increased RBCs and decreased transfusions sadly it didn’t translate into better neurodevelopmental outcome The silver bullet remains elusive! #neotwitter jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Darbepoetin for Neuroprotection in Preterm Infants

This randomized clinical trial investigates if darbepoetin initiated less than 36 hours after birth improves red blood cell mass and cognitive outcome at 2 years’ corrected gestational age in infants...

Thanks for highlighting @NICU_Musings; the possibility of impaired neurodevelopment is why we need the @COLLABORATE_rct to determine if donor milk or preterm formula is better for top ups when there isn’t enough own mothers milk @Blisscharity @Adultpreemies @BAPM_Official @NNRD

There is just no equivalent replacement for mother's milk Replacing 1 day of mixed feeds, donor milk or NPO w/ mother's milk ⬆️ cognitive, language and motor development. A 1-day reallocation of NPO to either mother's milk, mixed feeds or donor milk ⬇️ signif NDI, CP and/or NEC

The NNRD is used to improve the care of newborn babies and their families in many ways. The information in the NNRD is used for research studies to find out which treatments work best, in audits that measure how well neonatal units are practising and to support legislative change

The COLLABORATE study will tackle 2 longstanding, uncertainties in preterm nutrition: should pasteurised donor milk or preterm formula be used when a supplement for own mother's milk is needed, and is routine protein-carbohydrate fortification of human milk beneficial and safe?

Fortifying flour with folic acid to prevent birth defects? "This will disadvantage women who are sensitive to gluten." Prof @NeenaModi1 explains why the new legislation doesn't go far enough, and why it could deepen #health inequalities, in @BBCNews 👇bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c206…

Folic acid to be added to flour to help stop birth defects

Fortifying bread and flour will help reduce neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.

Nerdbase for @NNRDbase is an interesting suggestion though the UK National Neonatal Research Database is widely used by non-nerds & nerds! @natetexsun @NeenaModi1

Such important work. I’d love to see the data too like @drbretty. Also curious if you say “ nerd base” for @NNRDbase @TinyBabyCollab
