1.The mortality status of the neonates born at other maternities compared to that at Tu Du Hospital in 2003 year
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2005;9(2):114-118
Study on 229 newborn babies transferred from lower-level hospital into Neonatology Department of Tu Du Hospital. The results showed that: The main causes were respiratory distress, neonatal infection and asphyxia in premature infants, asphyxia and respiratory distress in the term infants. The more premature the newborn infants were, the earlier they were hospitalized. 157/229 infants were transferred into the hospital by rudimentary vehicles, the others were transferred by ambulance in which only 9.6% had oxygen supply. 163/229 patients (71.18%) were admitted in very serious status that required active intensive care and had high mortality rate

Introduction: T-piece resuscitator (TPR) has many
advantages compared to self-inflating bag (SIB). Early
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) during
newborn resuscitation (NR) with TPR at delivery can reduce
intubation rate.
Methods: We speculated that the intubation rate at delivery
room was high because SIB had always been used during
NR and this can be improved with TPR. Intubation rate of
newborn <24 hours of life was deemed high if >50%. An audit
was carried out in June 2010 to verify this problem using a
check sheet.
Results: 25 neonates without major congenital anomalies
who required NR with SIB at delivery were included.
Intubation rate of babies <24 hours of life when SIB was
used was 68%. Post-intervention audit (August to November
2010) on 25 newborns showed that the intubation rate within
24 hours dropped to 8% when TPR was used. Proportion of
intubated babies reduced from 48.3% (2008-2009) to 35.1%
(2011-2012), odds ratio 0.58 (95% CI 0.49-0.68). Proportion of
neonates on CPAP increased from 63.5% (2008-2009) to
81.0% (2011-2012), odds ratio 2.44 (95% CI 2.03-2.93). Mean
ventilation days fell to below 4 days after 2010. Since then,
all delivery standbys were accompanied by TPR and it was
used for all NR regardless of settings. There was decline in
intubation rate secondary to early provision of CPAP with
TPR during NR. Mean ventilation days, mortality and length
of NICU stay were reduced.
Conclusion: This practice should be adopted by all hospitals
in the country to achieve Millennium Development Goal 4
(2/3 decline of under 5 mortality rate) by 2015.

Objective:
The universal newborn hearing screening program has been implemented in the Philippines for the past ten years. However, screening rates in the country are still low. The current study aimed to describe the universal newborn hearing screening program (UNHSP) delivery system in Rizal, Philippines, and Northern California.
Methods:
The study utilized a case study research design using data triangulation of FGD, KII, and document review to characterize and compare the implementation of the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program in Rizal Province and Northern California.
Results:
Several differences were found in the protocols for newborn hearing screening in Rizal, Philippines, and Northern California, including centralization of the program, availability of surveillance data, screening protocols, and tracking system.
Conclusion
There is an immense need to disseminate universal newborn hearing screening among healthcare practitioners and create a system to monitor and evaluate real-time data.

9.Diagnosis and treatment of ankyloglossia in newborns and infants.
West China Journal of Stomatology 2020;38(4):443-448
Ankyloglossia is a congenital condition characterized by a short lingual frenulum, which may result in the restriction of tongue movement and function. Considerable controversy regarding the diagnosis, clinical significance, and management of the condition remains, and great variations in practice have been recorded. Indeed, attitudes toward ankyloglossia differ among professional groups, and opinions may vary remarkably even among those within the same specialty. This article reviews the embryology, genetics, diagnosis, clinical presentation, and treatment of ankyloglossia to help physicians better understand and treat the condition.
