INTRODUCTION (GIỚI THIỆU):

The first edition of Diseases of the Newborn was published in 1960 by Dr. Alexander J. Schaffer, a well-known Baltimore pediatrician who coined the term neonatology to describe this emerging pediatric subspecialty that concentrated on “the art and science of diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the newborn infant.” Schaffer’s first edition was used mainly for diagnosis, but also included reference to neonatal care practices (i. E., the use of antibiotics, temperature regulation, and attention to feeding techniques) —practices that had led to a remarkable decrease in the infant mortality rate in the United States, from 47 deaths per 1000 live births in 1940 to 26 per 1000 in 1960. But a pivotal year for the new field of neonatology came 3 years later in 1963, with the birth of President John F. Kennedy’s son, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, at 36 weeks’ gestation (i. E., late preterm). His death at 3 days of age, from complications of hyaline membrane disease, accelerated the development of infant ventilators that, coupled with micro-blood gas analysis and expertise in the use of umbilical artery catheterization, led to the development of intensive care for newborns in the 1960s on both sides of the Atlantic. Advances in neonatal surgery and cardiology, along with further technological innovations, stimulated the development of neonatal intensive care units and regionalization of care for sick newborn infants over the next several decades. These developments were accompanied by an explosion of neonatal research activity that led to improved understanding of the pathophysiology and genetic basis of diseases of the newborn, which in turn has led to spectacular advances in neonatal diagnosis and therapeutics—particularly for preterm infants. These efforts led to continued improvements in the infant mortality rate in the United States, from 26 deaths per 1000 livebirths in 1960 to 6.5 per 1000 in 2004. Current research efforts are focused on decreasing the striking global disparities in infant mortality rates, decreasing neonatal morbidities, advancing neonatal therapeutics, and preventing prematurity and newborn diseases. We neonatologists would like to be put out of business one day!
