Assessment of Maternal and Neonatal Cord Blood SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies and Placental Transfer Ratios
JAMA Pediatrics · 2021-01-29 · 298 citations
articleOpen access1st authorImportance: Maternally derived antibodies are a key element of neonatal immunity. Understanding the dynamics of maternal antibody responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during pregnancy and subsequent transplacental antibody transfer can inform neonatal management as well as maternal vaccination strategies. Objective: To assess the association between maternal and neonatal SARS-CoV-2-specific antibody concentrations. Design, Setting, and Participants:…
SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among parturient women in Philadelphia
Science Immunology · 2020-07-03 · 143 citations
articleOpen access1st authorCorrespondingLimited data are available for pregnant women affected by SARS-CoV-2. Serological tests are critically important for determining SARS-CoV-2 exposures within both individuals and populations. We validated a SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding domain serological test using 834 pre-pandemic samples and 31 samples from COVID-19 recovered donors. We then completed SARS-CoV-2 serological testing of 1,293 parturient women at two centers in Philadelphia from April 4 to June 3, 2020. We found 80/1,293 (6.2…
Clinics in Perinatology · 2024-12-21 · 16 citations
reviewOpen access1st authorCorrespondingEarly-onset sepsis (EOS) remains a substantial contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Continued epidemiologic surveillance of incidence, risk factors, and microbiology is paramount to developing new prevention strategies and optimizing antibiotic administration. Understanding the risks and benefits of maternal antibiotic exposure and neonatal risk assessment can inform clinical management. Maternal vaccination during pregnancy is a promising avenue for EOS prevention, particularly agai…
Hospital-Onset Bacteremia Among Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Patients
JAMA Pediatrics · 2024-06-24 · 12 citations
letterOpen accessImportance: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to introduce hospital-onset bacteremia (HOB) as a health care-associated infection measure. The epidemiology and clinical characteristics of HOB among infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are unknown. Objective: To estimate the rate of HOB among infants admitted to the NICU, measure the association of HOB risk with birth weight group and postnatal age, and estimate HOB-attributable mortality. Design, Setting,…
