Purpose: Pediatricians have a significant responsibility to educate mothers about the importance of breastfeeding. However, there have been minimal efforts in the courses of resident training in Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in knowledge and attitude before and after a 4-week breastfeeding educational intervention among multicenter residents. Methods: Prospective interventional educational research was designed for residents at eight training hospitals in Korea. Institutional reviews were obtained in each hospital. The education curriculum consisted of 14 courses regarding breastfeeding theory and practice. These materials were used to teach pediatric residents for 4 weeks. Knowledge-based tests were administered before the course, and re-tests were administered after the course using different test items of similar levels. Test scores and survey responses were compared before and after the intervention. Results: A total of 73 residents (1st year 20, 2nd year 23, 3rd year 16, and 4th year residents 14) from eight training hospitals completed the intervention. Their average age was 30.3±2.9 years, 17 (23.3%) were male, 22 (30.1%) were married, and eight had more than one child of their own. The mean pre-test score was 61.8±13.4 and the mean post-test score was 78.3±7.5 (P<0.001). The inter-grade difference in the score was significant in the pre-test (P=0.005), but not significant in the post-test (P=0.155). There were more responses of obtaining confidence after the intervention (P<0.001). Conclusion: In our study, pediatric residents showed improvement in their knowledge and confidence level after 4 weeks of the breastfeeding curriculum. This will provide a basis for future policymaking in the training of pediatric residents regarding breastfeedReceived: 6 January 2022 Revised: 15 February 2022 Accepted: 15 February 2022 Correspondence to: Ellen Ai-Rhan Kim, MD Department of Pediatrics, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88 Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05505, Korea Tel: +82-2-3010-3390 Fax: +82-2-3010-6978 E-mail: arkim@amc.seoul.kr A Multi-Center Educational Research Regarding Breastfeeding for Pediatrics Residents in Korea Yong-Sung Choi, MD,PhD1, Sung-Hoon Chung, MD, PhD2, Eun Sun Kim, MD, PhD3, Eun Hee Lee, MD4, Euiseok Jung, MD5, So Yeon Lee, MD, PhD5, Wooryoung Lee, MD6, Hye Sun Yoon, MD, PhD7, Yong Joo Kim, MD, PhD8, Ji Kyoung Park, MD, PhD9, Son Moon Shin, MD, PhD9, and Ellen Ai-Rhan Kim, MD, PhD5 1Department of Pediatrics, Kyung Hee University Hospital, Seoul, Korea 2Department of Pediatrics, Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong, Seoul, Korea 3Department of Pediatrics, Kangwon National University Hospital, Chuncheon, Korea 4Department of Pediatrics, Korea University Anam Hospital, Seoul, Korea 5Department of Pediatrics, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea 6Department of Pediatrics, Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital, Seoul, Korea 7Department of Pediatrics, Nowon Eulji Medical Center, Eulji University, Seoul, Korea 8Department of Pediatrics, Hanyang University Seoul Hospital, Seoul, Korea 9Department of Pediatrics, Inje University Busan Paik Hospital, Busan, Korea Neonatal Med 2022 February;29(1):28-35 https://doi.org/10.5385/nm.2022.29.1.28 pISSN 2287-9412 . eISSN 2287-9803 Copyright(c) 2022 By Korean Society of Neonatology This is an Open-Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http:// creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0), which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Objective: Ureaplasma has been demonstrated the cause of short and long-term morbidities of preterm infants, especially such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). This study aims to evaluate the influence of Ureaplasma on neonatal morbidities and the effect of macrolide treatment in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of clinical records of VLBW infants born between 2015 and 2016. Their endotracheal aspirate and gastric juice were obtained immediately after birth and tested for Ureaplasma. Therapeutic macrolides were administered according to the clinical judgment, not routinely, in Ureaplasma-positive infants. Neonatal morbidities were compared using individual matching analysis between Ureaplasma-positive and negative groups, and with macrolides administration. Results: A total of 144 infants with the mean (±standard deviation) gestational age of 28⁺³ (±3⁺³) weeks and birth weight of 1,051.9 (±290.0) g were included, and 30 (20.8%) were Ureaplasma-positive. Ureaplasma-positive group was associated with higher incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS, P=0.039) and severe neurologic injury (SNI; intraventricular hemorrhage ≥grade 3 or periventricular leukomalacia, P=0.013). However, Ureaplasma-positive group was not associated with the risk of BPD (P=0.706). In the subgroup analysis for Ureaplasma-positive infants, there was no difference in the incidence of morbidities according to the macrolides administration. Conclusion: Although Ureaplasma has no independent role in the development of BPD, Ureaplasma- positive VLBW infants were more likely to have RDS and SNI. The macrolides administered in Ureaplasma-positive was not effective to reduce neonatal morbidities.

Recent advances in neonatal management have resulted in a dramatic increase in survival of very low birth weight infants. These critically ill infants, however, continue to pose significant challenges in management and ethics. There is little information on the outcome of the micropremie (birth weight less than 800 g) that require surgery. The records of 171 micropremies treated over a 15 year period (beginning in 1989) at Asan Medical Center was reviewed retrospectively. Forty-one (24.0 %) infants required surgical interventions by pediatric surgeons. There were 90 boys and 81 girls. The smallest infant, weighed 396g at birth, had esophageal atresia and died before surgery. The smallest survivor, birth weight 645 g, received anenterostomy for necrotizing enterocolitis at the weight of 590 g. The gestational age of the group rangedfrom 21 to 36 weeks. The most common surgical problem was inguinal hernia. There were 20 inguinal hernias, and repairs were performed on17 infants. Excluding 2 cases, hernia repair was performed at the time of discharge. There was only one recurrence of adirect inguinal hernia. Necrotizing enterocolitis developed in 17 patients, 11 were operated upon, two had peritoneal drainages, and 9 had enterostomies. Five of 11 surgical infants died after operation and three of the nonsurgical infants died of various complications. Although micropremies have potentially high risks of serious complications and death, the outcome can improve with careful surgical observation and judgment.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is usually a disease of premature infants, but occasionally it affects the term neonate. Twenty-five infants with NEC were treated at Asan Medical Center between January 2000 and December 2002, and 13 of them were term infants. In each case, the diagnosis of NEC was established by a clinical illness fulfilling the Bell's stage II or III NEC as modified by Walsh or by surgical findings. There were six males and seven females. The birth weight was from 1,960 to 3,700 g. The age at diagnosis was from 1 to 40 days. Four patients had congenital heart disease: one of who had hypothyroidism and cleft palate. Abdominal distension was present in all, and bloody stools in four. One patient had history of hypoglycemia, three had Rota viral infection. Eight patients had leucopoenia (<$5.0{\times}10^9/L$), seven had thrombocytopenia (<$100{\times}10^9/L$), and three severe thrombocytopenia (<$50{\times}10^9/L$). Laparotomy was required in 10 of the 13 patients. Indications for operation in the acute phase were failure to respond to aggressive medical therapy in five, and perforation in three patients. There were two late phase operations for intestinal stricture and fistula. There were no operative complications. Ten of thirteen patients survived (76.9%). Two patients died of septic complication. There was a delayed death due to heart failure. There was a significant difference in survival according to platelet count ($50{\times}10^9/L$) (p<0.05). Congenital heart disease and Rota viral infection are associated with NEC in term infants and thrombocytopenia and leucopoenia may be surgical indications.

This study reviews 14 years' experience treating esophageal atresia with special emphasis on the clinical profile and outcome. From May 1989 to February 2003, 65 cases of esophageal atresia (EA) were treated at Asan Medical Center. Boys outnumbered girls 2.4 to 1. Prematutity and low birth weight were 27.7% and 38.5%. Esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) was the most common type (87.7%), followed by pure EA and H type fistula. Forty-six patients (70.8%) had one or more associated anomalies, cardiac malformations were the most common. Duodenal atresia was found in 7 cases. There were 6 patients (9.2 %) with VATER cluster. VACTERL cluster was present in 18 patients (27.7%), one of who fulfilled the complete syndrome. Waterston group A, B and C made up 21.5%, 40.0% and 38.5% of the total group. Surgical treatment was attempted in 63 patients and deferred in 2 who had severe associated malformations. For EA with distal TEF, primary esophago esophagostomy was carried out in 51 cases, and division of TEF and gastrostomy in 4 cases and no operation in 2 cases. For pure EA, colonic graft was done in 2 after gastrostomy and esophagostomy, and esophago esophagostomy was performed in 2 after gastrostomy. Two patients with pure EA are waiting for the second operation after gastrostomy. Division of TEF was carried out in 2 cases with H type TEF. The overall survival rate was 76.9%, and survival by Waterston classification was 100% in group A, 80.8% in B and 60.0% in C. Thorough workup for associated anomalies, interdepartmental approach and more careful surgical decision and technique are required to improve the outcome of EA.

목 적 : 불임의 증가와 함께 체외수정시술에 의한 신생아의 출생이 점차 증가하고 있으나, 이들에 대한 임상적 예후와 경과에 대한 연구가 미비한 실정으로 본원에서 출생한 체외수정 쌍생아의 임상적 경과 및 예후를 알고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1995년 1월부터 2000년 6월까지 6년간 서울아산병원에서 분만된 신생아 460쌍 중 250쌍의 자연 수정에 의한 쌍생아(대조군)와 체외 수정 시술에 의해 출생한 156쌍의 쌍생아를 대상으로 재태연령, 출생체중, 성비, 입원률, 1분/5분 Apgar 점수, 동맥관개존증의 발생 및 인도신 치료 여부, 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군, 일과성 빈호흡, 황달, 미숙아망막증, 뇌출혈, 괴사성 장염, 패혈증, 전해질 이상, 선천적 기형의 발생 유무를 비교하였으며, 입원기간과 사망률을 알아보고 비교 분석하였다. 또한 산모의 나이와 출산력 및 조기양막파열, 임신성 고혈압, 조기진통의 발생 여부와 임신 중의 입원횟수와 입원기간을 비교하였다. 결 과 : 6년간 본원에서 출생한 쌍생아는 총 460쌍이었으며 이중 체외수정시술에 의해 출생한 쌍생아는 156쌍(34.1%)이었다. 산모의 과거력과 임신성 합병증, 임신기간, 출산 형태에 대한 비교에서 산모의 나이, 출산력, 입원기간 등은 두 군 사이에 차이가 없었으나, 체외수정시술을 받은 산모에서 조기진통의 횟수가 많았고, 입원 횟수가 의미있게 많았다. 분만 형태의 비교에서 체외수정시술을 받았던 군이 자연수정군에 비해 수술로 분만한 경우가 의미있게 많았으며(93% vs 82%) 응급 수술보다 정규 수술이 의미있게 많았다. 신생아의 비교에 있어서 몸무게, 성비, 동맥관개존증의 발생 및 인도신 치료 여부, 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군, 일과성 빈호흡, 황달, 미숙아망막증, 뇌출혈, 괴사성 장염, 패혈증, 선천적 기형의 발생 유무, 생존율, 입원기간 등은 두 군간에 의미 있는 차이가 없었고, 1분, 5분 Apgar 점수가 자연수정군에서 높았으며, 전해질의 이상소견이 체외수정시술군에서 의미있게 많았다. 체외수정시술에 의한 쌍생아군에서 첫 번째 아가와 두번째 아가를 비교하였을 때 출생체중, 신생아 집중치료실 입원율, 입원기간 등은 차이는 없었으나, 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군, 동맥간개존증, 패혈증, 괴사성장염 등은 두번째 아가에서 유의하게 많았다. 결 론 : 체외수정시술에 의한 쌍생아의 출생은 전체 쌍생아 출생아의 34.1%로 많은 부분을 차지하였고, 산과적 합병증 및 주산기 예후를 비교하였을 때 체외수정군과 자연수정군이 유의한 차이가 없었다. Purpose : To examine various neonatal outcomes and perinatal factors resulting from assisted reproduction compared to that of spontaneous conception. Methods : This is a retrospective study. The control cases were all twins of spontaneous conception born between periods from January 1995 to June 2000. The study cases were identified from twins conceived by assisted reproduction in the same time peried. A total of 460 sets of twins consisted of 250 twins of spontaneous conception and 156 twins of assisted reproduction were studied. The primary outcomes were neonatal morbidity and mortality and the secondary outcomes were perinatal factors including number, length and cost of hospitalization for the delivery. Results : No differences were seen in various neonatal factors including gestational age, birth weight and incidences of respiratory distress syndrome, patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, hyperbilirubinemia, sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage and the length of hospitalizations. Lower one minute and five minute Apgar scores and frequently encountered electrolyte abnormalities were observed in neonates of assisted reproduction. In general, the second twin of assisted reproduction had increased incidences of respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis than the first twin. Increased frequencies of preterm labor, hospitalization and elective cesarean section were seen among mothers who underwent artifical conception. However, overall hospital costs in terms of mothers hospitalization for the delivery and neonates hospitalization did not show differences. Conclusion : Assisted reproduction twins had similar neonatal morbidities, mortalities and perinatal morbidities compared to those born by spontaneous conception.

Diagnosing Hirschsprung's disease is a clinical challenge. Hirschsprung's disease should be considered in any child who has a history of constipation dating back to the newborn period. We examined diagnostic methods and their results retrospectively in 37 neonates and infants who underwent both barium enema and anorectal manometry for the diagnosis of Hirschsprungs disease at Asan Medical Center between January 1999 and April 2001. Two radiologists and a surgeon repeatedly reviewed both of the diagnostic results. In anorectal manometry, thirty-four studies were in agreement with the definitive diagnosis, giving an overall diagnostic accuracy of 91.9 % (neonate; 100 %, infant; 85.7 %). The accuracy and specificity of barium enema was lower than those of anorectal manometry, but sensitivity was higher. There was no significant difference between the two methods. Both studies showed findings consistent with the final diagnosis. However, discordant results needed further evaluation or close observation to diagnose accurately. We conclude that Hirschsprungs disease should not be diagnosed by only one diagnostic method.
