Thrombocytopenia in the high-risk infant.

One-hundred twenty-nine high-risk infants with thrombocytopenia and 238 control infants without thrombocytopenia were evaluated. Mothers of thrombocytopenic babies had similar history to those of nonthrombocytopenic babies, although fewer chronic narcotic abusers were found among mothers of thrombocytopenic babies. Thrombocytopenia was more common in babies less than 37 weeks' gestation and in sick babies compared to healthy babies. Sixty percent of infants had no recognizable cause of thrombocytopenia. Features associated with thrombocytopenia included umbilical line placement, respiratory assistance, hyperbilirubinemia, phototherapy, prematurity, respiratory distress syndrome, low Apgar score, sepsis, meconium aspiration, and necrotizing entercolitis. Thrombocytopenic babies had Apgar score, sepsis, meconium aspiration, and necrotizing entercolitis. Thrombocytopenic babies had more complications, more hemorrhage, and greater mortality than nonthrombocytopenic babies. Platelet size was increased in two babies with immune thrombocytopenia and in none of the others. This study shows that neonatal thrombocytopenia is often associated with high-risk factors and with increased hemorrhage, morbidity, and mortality. This relationship suggests an important prognostic value to platelet size was increased in two babies with immune thrombocytopenia and in none of the others. This study shows that neonatal thrombocytopenia is often associated with high-risk factors and with increased hemorrhage, morbidity, and mortality. This relationship suggests an important prognostic value to platelet counts, although the extent to which the thrombocytopenia contributed directly to morbidity and mortality is not clear.

Early results of Bankart repair with a patient-controlled rehabilitation program.

A standard protocol for patient rehabilitation after open Bankart procedure has been used in our clinic for more than 5 years. This protocol emphasizes the patient's role in controlling his or her rehabilitation over a 16-week period that results in a full return to work and sport. We have retrospectively reviewed 100 patients (104 shoulders) with a minimum follow-up of 6 months on the program to assess the program's effectiveness. The patients were assessed in terms of their satisfaction in relation to home, work, and sporting activities and the speed with which they returned to work and sport. All patients found the program acceptable. For home activities 100 (96%) of the shoulders were rated good or excellent, for work 94 (90%) were rated good or excellent, and 78 (76%) were rated good or excellent for sport. The shoulders of 5 patients redislocated, and a further 5 patients described ongoing symptoms but no redislocations.
