Families in CHOP’s Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit (N/IICU) celebrate the spookiest day of the year by dressing babies in adorable Halloween costumes.

Study by CHOP researchers suggests shorter hospital stays for healthy term infants might be safe outside of a pandemic scenario, with implications for health care costs and best practices.

CHOP researchers found that a plurality of hospitals delivers fewer than 500 infants per year and that nearly a fifth of low-volume hospitals are more than 30 miles from another obstetric hospital.

Investigators in our Chronic Lung Disease Program have developed a treatment-based classification of BPD disease severity that helps us improve longer-term outcomes.

Early in my clinical training, I learned that as a clinician, treating diseases relied not only on my knowledge of pathophysiology and evidence-based medicine, but also on thoughtful evaluation and understanding of each patient’s unique social and environmental factors and the interactions with a patient’s race and ethnicity.

On March 9 and 10, 2021, more than 400 medical professionals tuned in via a virtual platform for the Seventh Annual Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Chronic Lung Disease Conference.

A new program aims to provide consistent physical, emotional, spiritual, mental and social health supports to help families thrive.

A physiologically based approach to umbilical cord clamping for infants with CDH may smooth the postnatal transition and prevent acidosis and hypoxemia.

For babies prenatally diagnosed with conditions such as CDH that will require surgery shortly after birth, a unique model of care greatly improves management of these fragile newborns.

CHOP researchers have found mice exposed to neonatal hyperoxia have increased influenza susceptibility and disrupted lung circadian clocks.
