Characteristics and outcomes of neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection in the UK: a prospective national cohort study using active surveillance. Lancet Child and Adolescent Health, 5(2), 113-121. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2352-4642%2820%2930342-4

Background: Babies differ from older children with regard to their exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, data describing the effect of SARS-CoV-2 in this group are scarce, and guidance is variable. We aime...

Finding Comfortable Routes for Ambulance Transfers of Newborn Infants (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Partridge, T. J., Morris, D. E., Light, R. A., Leslie, A., Sharkey, D., Crowe, J. A., & McNally, D. S. (2020). Finding Comfortable Routes for Ambulance Transfers of Newborn Infants. In 2020 42nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC). https://doi.org/10.1109/EMBC44109.2020.9175873

Early inter-hospital ambulance transport of premature babies is associated with more severe brain injury. The mechanism is unclear, but they are exposed to excessive noise and vibration. Smart-routing may help minimise these exposure levels and poten... Read More about Finding Comfortable Routes for Ambulance Transfers of Newborn Infants.

Early childhood respiratory morbidity and antibiotic use in ex-preterm infants: A primary care population-based cohort study (2020)
Journal Article
Tan, S., Szatkowski, L., Moreton, W., Fiaschi, L., McKeever, T., Gibson, J., & Sharkey, D. (2020).

European Respiratory Journal, 56(1), https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.00202-2020

Background Globally, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) continues to increase in preterm infants. Recent studies exploring subsequent early childhood respiratory morbidity have been small or focused on hospital admissions. Primary aim Examine early...

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...
