Perinatal outcomes of a large cohort of extremely low gestational age infants (twenty-three to twenty-eight completed weeks of gestation).
To determine gestational age (GA)-specific mortality rates; the effects of GA, birth weight, sex, and multiple gestation on mortality rates; short-term morbidity for infants born at 23 to 28 weeks GA; and impairment rates at a corrected chronologic age of 18 months for those born at 23 to 25 weeks GA. ⋯ The GA-specific perinatal outcome results of this large cohort provide information to assist in perinatal management decision making and for counseling parents prenatally.

Case ReportsPerianal pseudoverrucous papules and nodules after surgery for Hirschsprung disease.
We report two patients with Hirschsprung disease in whom severe diarrhea and a distinctive diaper dermatitis developed after delayed ileoanal anastomosis. The perianal papulonodular lesions cleared in months or years without specific treatment after resolution of the diarrhea. These perianal pseudoverrucous papules and nodules represent a peculiar form of primary irritant diaper dermatitis, distinct from Jacquet erosive diaper dermatitis and granuloma gluteale infantum.
