Executive summary of the workshop on oxygen in neonatal therapies: controversies and opportunities for research
One of the most complex areas in perinatal/neonatal medicine is the use of oxygen in neonatal therapies. To address the knowledge gaps that preclude optimal, evidence-based care in this critical field of perinatal medicine, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development organized a workshop, Oxygen in Neonatal Therapies: Controversies and Opportunities for Research, in August 2005. The information presented at the workshop included basic and translational oxygen research; a review of completed, ongoing, and planned clinical trials; oxygen administration for neonatal resuscitation; and a review of the collaborative home infant monitoring evaluation study. This article provides a summary of the discussions, focusing on major knowledge gaps, with prioritized suggestions for studies in this area

Evaluation and Management of Women and Newborns With a Maternal Diagnosis of Chorioamnionitis: Summary of a Workshop.
In January 2015, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development invited an expert panel to a workshop to address numerous knowledge gaps and to provide evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and management of pregnant women with what had been commonly called chorioamnionitis and the neonates born to these women. The panel noted that the term chorioamnionitis has been used to label a heterogeneous array of conditions characterized by infection and inflammation or both with a consequent great variation in clinical practice for mothers and their newborns. Therefore, the panel proposed to replace the term chorioamnionitis with a more general, descriptive term: intrauterine inflammation or infection or both, abbreviated as Triple I. The panel proposed a classification for Triple I and recommended approaches to evaluation and management of pregnant women and their newborns with a diagnosis of Triple I. It is particularly important to recognize that an isolated maternal fever is not synonymous with chorioamnionitis. A research agenda was proposed to further refine the definition and management of this complex group of conditions. This article provides a summary of the workshop presentations and discussions
