Comment on Bernard et al. Association between Urinary Metabolites and the Exposure of Intensive Care Newborns to Plasticizers of Medical Devices Used for Their Care Management. Metabolites 2021, 11, 252.
The recent publication “Association between Urinary Metabolites and the Exposure of Intensive Care Newborns to Plasticizers of Medical Devices Used for Their Care Management” by L. Bernard et al. (2021) caught our interest.
The issue studied in this project is of utmost importance as most of the limited available data on the exposure of critically ill neonates were collected decades ago and represented the treatments used at that time.
Therefore, a new study reporting the results with 104 neonates has the potential to provide valuable new data.
However, some statements, hypotheses and recommendations in the publication by Bernard et al. merit detailed comments and require clarification.
