Is late preterm birth a risk factor for hypertension

TL;DR: This systematic review summarizes published studies that investigated the association of DEHP with preterm delivery, gestational age, and birthweight and identified important methodological concerns which could have resulted in selection bias and exposure misclassification and contributed to null findings and biased associations.

TL;DR: In this model, neonatal leptin supplementation restores the physiologic leptin surge, attenuates the leptin-triggered sympathetic activation in adulthood and prevents leptin- or stress-evoked hypertension, and is efficiently modeled by placing neonatal mice into atypically large litters.

TL;DR: A multidisciplinary team of experts invited to a workshop in July 2005 discussed the definition and terminology, epidemiology, etiology, biology of maturation, clinical care, surveillance, and public health aspects of late-preterm infants, and knowledge gaps were identified.

TL;DR: This data indicates that the statistical use of pediatric ABPM reference values has been compromised by the non-Gaussian distribution of 24-h blood pressure values.

TL;DR: Existing data indicate that low birth weight is associated with subsequent risk of CKD, although there is scope for additional well-designed population-based studies with accurate assessment of birth weight and kidney function and consideration of important confounders, including maternal and socioeconomic factors.

TL;DR: Ambulatory blood pressure provided prognostic information on mortality above and beyond that of office blood pressure, and only the ambulatory blood pressures were significant predictors of all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality.
