Objective:
To evaluate reviews focused on adult outcomes of patients with complex neonatal history.
Study Design:
We searched multiple databases in January 2022 and supplemented by hand searching references in included reviews. Two authors assessed reviews for eligibility. Data were extracted by one author, verified by a second. Counts based on neonatal exposure, adult outcome, and journal type for each review were calculated.
Results:
Eight-seven reviews were included. Most focused on prematurity. The most common adult outcome assessed was cardiovascular. Papers shifted to publication in pediatric journals over the last decade. Gaps include a lack of reviews focused on those with a history of substance exposure in utero and a lack of reviews on adult autoimmune conditions and gynecologic outcomes.
Conclusion:
Reviews of adult outcomes of those with complex neonatal history have moved to publication in pediatric journals recently. We identified gaps in both pediatric populations and adult outcomes assessed.
