We sought to determine the number and distribution of radiographs and the cumulative effective radiograph doses (cED) received by a population of preterm infants (PIs) hospitalized in an NICU.<\/jats:p><jats:p>STUDY DESIGN. We reviewed the files of all preterm infants (gestational age: &amp;lt;34 weeks) who were admitted to an NICU during an 18-month period and were discharged alive. A generalized additive model was used to study the relationship between cED and patient characteristics.<\/jats:p><jats:p>RESULTS. Four hundred fifty files were analyzed. The median gestational age was 30.1 weeks (range: 24.1\u201333.9 weeks), and the median birth weight was 1250 g (range: 520\u20132760 g). The median number of radiographs per infant was 10.6 (range: 0\u201395), and the median cED was 138 \u03bcSv (range: 0\u20131450 \u03bcSv). The cumulative dose exceeded 500 \u03bcSv in 7.6% of the cases. Factors that influenced the cumulative effective dose were gestational age, birth weight, care procedures, and clinical adverse events.<\/jats:p><jats:p>CONCLUSIONS. Given the potentially life-threatening complications of PIs, cumulative radiograph doses received in the ICU seem low with regard to environmental exposure and international recommendations. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the possible lifetime consequences of exposure to ionizing radiation at this age.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2005-0817","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,1]],"date-time":"2006-03-01T19:23:43Z","timestamp":1141241023000},"page":"882-888","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Cumulative Effective Doses Delivered by Radiographs to Preterm Infants in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"117","author":[{"given":"Jean","family":"Donadieu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"De\u0301partement Sante\u0301 et Environnement, Institut de Veille Sanitaire, St Maurice, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdelkrim","family":"Zeghnoun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"De\u0301partement Sante\u0301 et Environnement, Institut de Veille Sanitaire, St Maurice, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Candice","family":"Roudier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"De\u0301partement Sante\u0301 et Environnement, Institut de Veille Sanitaire, St Maurice, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Maccia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre d'Assurance de Qualite\u0301 ds Applications Technologiques dans le Domaine de la Sante\u0301 (CAATS), Bourg la Reine, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phillipe","family":"Pirard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"De\u0301partement Sante\u0301 et Environnement, Institut de Veille Sanitaire, St Maurice, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Andre\u0301","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universite\u0301 Paris-Descartes, Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine, Assistance Publique-Ho\u0302pitaux de Paris, Paris, France"},{"name":"Service de Radiologie Pe\u0301diatrique, Ho\u0302pital Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Universite\u0301 Paris-Descartes, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Adamsbaum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universite\u0301 Paris-Descartes, Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine, Assistance Publique-Ho\u0302pitaux de Paris, Paris, France"},{"name":"Service de Radiologie Pe\u0301diatrique, Ho\u0302pital Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Universite\u0301 Paris-Descartes, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Kalifa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universite\u0301 Paris-Descartes, Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine, Assistance Publique-Ho\u0302pitaux de Paris, Paris, France"},{"name":"Service de Radiologie Pe\u0301diatrique, Ho\u0302pital Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Universite\u0301 Paris-Descartes, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Legmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universite\u0301 Paris-Descartes, Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine, Assistance Publique-Ho\u0302pitaux de Paris, Paris, France"},{"name":"Service de Radiologie A, Ho\u0302pital Cochin, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre-Henri","family":"Jarreau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universite\u0301 Paris-Descartes, Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine, Assistance Publique-Ho\u0302pitaux de Paris, Paris, France"},{"name":"Service de Me\u0301decine Ne\u0301onatale de Port-Royal, Ho\u0302pital Cochin, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120820102509500_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Berrington de Gonzalez A, Darby S.
