lüll Radiation exposure in 212 very low and extremely low birth weight infants Puch-Kapst K; Juran R; Stoever B; Wauer RRPediatrics 2009[Dec]; 124 (6): 1556-64OBJECTIVE: We determined the frequency and estimated effective radiation dose (E) from conventional diagnostic radiographs for infants who had birth weight of or=16 weeks, congenital malformations, or oxygen dependence for >or=36 weeks were at risk for high numbers of radiographs and high radiation dose. Compared with the annual NBR, the median of 4 radiographs per infant contributes 12 days of NBR. We estimated that only 1 of 60000 NICU-treated VLBW infants will develop a fatal malignancy up to 15 years of age. CONCLUSIONS: We found that NICU-treated VLBW infants had low radiation exposure compared with the annual NBR.|*Infant, Extremely Low Birth Weight[MESH]|*Infant, Very Low Birth Weight[MESH]|*Intensive Care Units, Neonatal[MESH]|*Radiation Dosage[MESH]|Body Burden[MESH]|Cohort Studies[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant, Newborn[MESH]|Length of Stay[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Neoplasms, Radiation-Induced/epidemiology[MESH]|Radiography/*adverse effects/statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Radiometry/methods[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Utilization Review[MESH] |
