To predict early nasal continuous positive airway pressure failure within the first 2 h after birth in preterm infants. ⋯ Combining gender, birth weight and the fraction of inspired oxygen at 1 and 2 h of age allows for a better and more individualized prediction of early nasal continuous positive airway pressure failure in preterm infants less than 30 weeks gestation.

To evaluate fluctuations in anti-Xa concentrations in infants treated with enoxaparin for thrombosis and describe clinical outcomes. ⋯ Anti-Xa concentrations fluctuate during maintenance enoxaparin therapy, with therapeutic levels being achieved only sporadically in young infants. Despite this, enoxaparin appears efficacious in thrombosis resolution. Further studies on the impact of stringent control of concentrations on outcomes in this population are warranted.
