Practice questions
- According to the review on interventions to reduce preterm birth, which antenatal service is specifically identified as part of comprehensive care?
- A health system wants to implement an intervention that the review identifies as proven, while addressing a reported implementation gap. Which intervention best fits?
- Which practice does the review identify as one to reduce because it may be harmful when not medically indicated?
- A pregnant patient develops preterm labour. Which health-system response is most consistent with the review?
- Which combination best represents the review's broad strategy for improving outcomes of preterm babies?
- Which statement most accurately reflects the strength and scope of the 2013 review's recommendations?
- The retrospective lung-function study included infants born at which gestational age?
- In the study of extremely preterm infants, at what age were spirometry results assessed?
- In the cited spirometric definitions, an obstructive pattern was defined by which finding?
- An 8-year-old participant has FEV1/FVC at or above the LLN and FVC below the LLN. How was this pattern classified in the cited study?
- Which perinatal feature was associated with a restrictive spirometric pattern in the extremely preterm cohort?
- A bubbly/cystic appearance on chest radiograph was associated with which spirometric patterns in the cohort?
- Which statement is the most appropriate interpretation of the association between SGA status and restrictive spirometry in the study?
- What was the direction of the cohort's spirometric z-scores compared with predicted values based on age, height, and sex?
- In the prospective cranial-ultrasound cohort, which pair of imaging time points was compared?
- Which infants were eligible for the cranial-ultrasound study, in addition to having at least one clinical risk factor for brain injury?
- What proportion of infants had abnormal cranial ultrasound findings at term-equivalent age in the prospective cohort?
- How did abnormality detection at term-equivalent age compare with detection at six weeks postnatal age in the cohort?
- In the cranial-ultrasound cohort, what proportion had new abnormalities identified at term-equivalent age?
- Which conclusion about cranial ultrasound timing is best supported by the study?
- Which description best fits the design used to study neonatal care and healthcare use among moderate-risk infants in New South Wales?
- The moderate-risk study examined infants near birthweight cutoffs closer to which value?
- What happened to neonatal-unit admission around the birthweight cutoffs in the New South Wales study?
- What was the overall magnitude of the impact on healthcare use during the first two years of life among the moderate-risk infants?
- In which type of neonatal unit did the study report more cost-intensive care associated with reduced healthcare use after discharge?
- The authors suggested that more aggressive clinical management at lower-capability units might explain their findings. How should this explanation be treated?
- Which statement best captures why admission thresholds should be interpreted in context in the moderate-risk study?
