Background: Small infants face more developmental risks than their full-term peers, necessitating early intervention and long-term monitoring.
Objectives: This study examined the longitudinal developmental and hearing outcomes of small infants attending a high-risk clinic in a South African low-income community setting.
Method: A short-term longitudinal within-subject descriptive study design was employed, where 28 participants underwent hearing and developmental screenings and assessments at two follow-up appointments (T1 and T2), at 6- and 12-month corrected age.

Rationale: This case highlights the importance of considering a wide range of possible diagnoses when faced with unexplained hemorrhagic symptoms. When standard investigations fail to identify a clear cause, it is essential to conduct a detailed dietary history. This can lead to the diagnosis of scurvy, a reversible vitamin C deficiency that is often overlooked in populations at risk.

IntroductionThe use of digital solutions including patient-reported outcomes is limited to follow-up of patients with established diagnoses but is rarely used as first step of the diagnostic process substituting a personal contact with a health professional. We report on the diagnostic validity and cost per patient implications based on a feasibility study of a new virtual diagnostic service (VDS) for common neurological sleep disorders that, as a first step, involves the collection and automated analysis of self-reported digital patient data.MethodsThe VDS was established at the Odense University Hospital, Denmark.
