There has been a lack of population‐based longitudinal data on serum ferritin in very low birthweight (VLBW) infants during hospitalisation. Our aim was to fill this gap in the knowledge and investigate risk factors for elevated serum ferritin and associations between erythrocyte transfusions and longitudinal growth.

Manually counting respiratory rate (RR) is commonly practiced by community health workers to detect fast breathing, an important sign of childhood pneumonia. Correctly counting and classifying breaths manually is challenging, often leading to inappropriate treatment. This study aimed to determine the usability of a new automated RR counter (ChARM) by health extension workers (HEWs), and its acceptability to HEWs, first‐level health facility workers (FLHFWs) and caregivers in Ethiopia.

Pneumonia is the leading cause of child death after the neonatal period, resulting from late care seeking and inappropriate treatment. Diagnosis involves counting respiratory rate (RR); however, RR counting remains challenging for health workers and miscounting, and misclassification of RR is common. We evaluated the usability of a new automated RR counter, the Philips Children's Respiratory Monitor (ChARM), to Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), and its acceptability to FCHVs and caregivers in Nepal.

In Sweden, about 7000 infants are born preterm every year, before 37 weeks, and they account for 4%‐5% of residents under the age of 18. There is an ongoing debate about how preterm birth affects health outcomes during the early postnatal weeks and in adult life. For example, preterm birth has been associated with a higher incidence of cardiovascular, metabolic and mental health issues in adulthood.1 In this issue of Acta Paediatrica, Forsum et al2 used weight and air‐displacement plethysmography to investigate the fat mass and fat‐free mass of 188 preterm children born at 23.2‐36.9 weeks of gestation, including 73 born very and extremely preterm before week 32. These are called the early preterm group in the paper, and any aged 32 weeks or more are called late preterm. The authors compared them with 253 age‐matched full‐term controls when they reached four years of age. The findings confirmed other pre‐puber‐ tal studies that infants born before 32 weeks tended to weigh less and be shorter than full‐term controls.3‐5 The early preterm girls in the Forsum et al study had a significantly lower body mass index (BMI) than the girls in the full‐term control group, but not the early preterm boys. Both the early preterm girls and boys had less fat mass than the corresponding controls. The early preterm girls also had less fat‐free mass than their full‐term peers. The late preterm girls and boys did not differ from the full‐term controls with regard to fat mass. Gestational age was a weak, but significant, positive predictor of the investigated growth variables at follow‐up in girls, but not in boys.2 One of the strengths of the Forsum et al study, apart from the relatively large cohort, was that it was conducted systematically and methodically, with little variations in age between the preterm and full‐term groups at follow‐up. In air‐displacement plethysmography, body composition is esti‐ mated from density, which is then divided into fat mass and fat‐free mass. Total body mass thus equals fat mass plus fat‐free mass. Fat‐ free mass comprises skeletal muscle, organs, bone and supporting tissues. Height is the most important factor in fat‐free mass. Air‐ displacement plethysmography is considered the method of choice for measuring body composition in children, and it is more readily accessible than dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA), which is mostly used for measuring bone mineral density. However, DEXA measures bone mineral content directly, which means that it elim‐ inates one of the major sources of fat‐free mass variability in the two‐compartment model. Several studies of pre‐pubertal children have found similar re‐ sults to Forsum et al, as the authors pointed out. Huke et al used impedance analysis to evaluate fat mass in 116 preterm born chil‐ dren when they reached 5‐7 years of age and found that they were shorter, weighed less, had lower BMIs and had less fat mass than full‐ term controls.3 Another study investigated 200 preterm children,

The Fontan operation remains the final palliation for thousands of patients with complex congenital heart disease. By creating a Fontan circuit, control of cardiac output and congestion is wrested away from the ventricle and new haemodynamic forces take control. Understanding how to control the flow in the Fontan circuit will enable clinicians to improve patient management and possibly prevent future complications.
