Changes in Incidence, Survival Rate and Morbidity of Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Young Ok Kim, Sun Hui Kim, Chang Yee Cho, Young Youn Choi, Jin Hwa Kook, Tae Ju Hwang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(8):769-776.   Published online August 15, 2003
Purpose : The survival rate of very low birth weight infants(VLBWI) has improved by virtue of specialized neonatal care. This study was performed to analyze the changes in incidence, survival rate and morbidity of VLBWI who admitted to Chonnam National University Hospital from 1996 to 2001. Methods : We enrolled 565 VLBWI, and compared the incidence and the survival rate according...
Case Report
A Case of Trisomy 9 Mosaicism
Young Ok Kim, Chun Hak Park, Ic Sun Choi, Hyun Jung Kim, Chang Yee Cho, Young Youn Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2003;46(6):597-601.   Published online June 15, 2003
Trisomy 9 mosaic syndrome is a rarely reported chromosomal abnormality with high incidence of intrauterine growth retardation and perinatal death. Even a baby lives, he has severe mental retardation and significant malformations. The incidence and severity of malformations and mental retardation correlate with the percentage of trisomic cells in the different tissues. The characteristic craniofacial abnormalitis are narrow bifrontal diameter,...

Effects of Single Fetal Death on Mother and Live Co-twin in Twin Pregnancy
So Youn Kim, Hae Yul Chung, Hee Jo Back, Ic Sun Choi, Chang Yee Cho, Young Youn Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(12):1512-1518.   Published online December 15, 2002
Purpose : Twins have a higher mortality and morbidity than singletons. Co-twin with one fetal death is particularly at risk. We investigated the neonatal outcome of live co-twins when one fetus had died after the 20th gestational week, and associated risk factors. Methods : A retrospective study was performed in fifteen cases of twin pregnancy with single intrauterine fetal deaths...
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Candida Sepsis in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Ic Sun Choi, Suk Hwan Lim, Chang Yee Cho, Young Youn Choi, Tai Ju Hwang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(7):836-846.   Published online July 15, 2002
Purpose : With the development of neonatal intensive care and the increased use of systemic antibiotics, candida sepsis has become one of the most important causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence rate and its associated risk factors. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 28 cases with candida sepsis who...
Nosocomial Infection in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Hye Jung Kwon, So Youn Kim, Chang Yee Cho, Young Youn Choi, Jong Hee Shin, Soon Pal Suh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(6):719-726.   Published online June 15, 2002
Purpose : Neonates in neonatal intensive care units(NICU) have a high risk of acquiring nosocomial infection because of their impaired host defence mechanism and invasive procedures. Nosocomial infection result in considerable morbidity and mortality among neonates. This study was carried out to survey both the epidemiology of nosocomial infection in our NICU and the annual trends of pathogens. Methods : We...
Growth and Neurodevelopmental Outcome at 15 Months of Corrected Age in Very Low Birth Weight Infants with Chronic Lung Disease
Seon Young Kim, Chang Yee Cho, Young Youn Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(10):1112-1118.   Published online October 15, 2001
Purpose : This study was performed to compare the growth and neurodevelopmental outcome at 15 months of corrected age in very-low-birth weight infants between chronic lung disease(CLD) group and the control group. Methods : Very-low-birth-weight infants who were admitted and survived in the NICU(neonatal intensive care units) of Chonnam Univeristy Hospital from Jan. 1997 to Jan. 2000 were divided into...
A Study on the Prediction of Neurodevelopmental Outcome by Cranial Ultrasound in Preterm and Low Birth Weight Infants
Ji Young Rha, Chang Yee Cho, Young Youn Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(8):1037-1045.   Published online August 15, 2000
Purpose : Recent progress in neonatal medicine increased the survival of preterm low birth weight infants. However, neurodevelopmental sequelae are ever increasing. We carried out this study to determine whether serial cranial ultrasonographic findings could predict neurodevelopmental outcome. Methods : Four hundred and forty-one preterm low birth weight infants, who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Chonnam University...
