Hospital-Acquired Viral Respiratory Tract Infections in the Neonatal Unit: A Comparison with Other Inpatient Groups (2020)
Journal Article
Taylor, C., Tan, S., McClaughry, R., & Sharkey, D. (2020). Hospital-Acquired Viral Respiratory Tract Infections in the Neonatal Unit: A Comparison with Other Inpatient Groups. Neonatology, 117(4), 513–516. https://doi.org/10.1159/000506427

Background: Hospital-acquired viral respiratory tract infections (VRTIs) cause significant morbidity and mortality in neonatal patients. This includes escalation of respiratory support, increased length of hospital stay, and need for home oxygen, as...

Early life incidence of gastrointestinal and respiratory infections in children with gastroschisis: a cohort study (2018)
Journal Article
Bannister, J., Szatkowski, L., Sharkey, D., Tan, S., Fiaschi, L., & Ban, L. (2018). Early life incidence of gastrointestinal and respiratory infections in children with gastroschisis: a cohort study.
