SummaryThe objective of this study was to estimate the rate and describe the epidemiology of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) among neonates (infants <1 month of age) hospitalised in the United States. Hospital discharge records for neonates with an NEC diagnosis and an in‐hospital death or routine discharge were selected for analysis from the 2000 Kids’ Inpatien...... hiện toàn bộ
A comparison of LMP‐based and ultrasound‐based estimates of gestational age using linked California livebirth and prenatal screening recordsPaediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology - Tập 21 Số s2 - Trang 62-71 - 2007

SummaryAlthough early ultrasound (<20 weeks' gestation) systematically underestimates the gestational age of smaller fetuses by approximately 1–2 days, this bias is relatively small compared with the large error introduced by last menstrual period (LMP) estimates of gestation, as evidenced by the number of implausible birthweight‐for‐gestational age.

Preterm delivery (PTD) appears to be a complex trait determined by both genetic and environmental factors. Few studies have examined genetic influence on PTD. The overall goal of our study is to examine major candidate genes of PTD and to test gene–environment interactions. Our study includes 500 preterm trios, including 500 preterm babies and their parents and 500 maternal age‐matched ter...... hiện toàn bộ
Data linkage methods used in maternally‐linked birth and infant death surveillance data sets from the United States (Georgia, Missouri, Utah and Washington State), Israel, Norway, Scotland and Western AustraliaPaediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology - Tập 11 Số S1 - Trang 5-22 - 1997

In this paper we describe the methods used to link birth and infant mortality and morbidity surveillance data sets into sibships using deterministic or multistage probabilistic linkage methods. We describe nine linked data sets: four in the United States (Georgia, Missouri, Utah and Washington State), and four elsewhere (Scotland, Norway, Israel and Western Australia). Norway and Israel us...... hiện toàn bộ
Breast feeding very‐low‐birthweight infants at discharge: a multicentre study using WHO definitionsPaediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology - Tập 23 Số 6 - Trang 591-596 - 2009
Riccardo Davanzo, Luca Ronfani, Pierpaolo Brovedani, Sergio Demarini
SummaryHuman milk has several advantages in the nutrition of very‐low‐birthweight (VLBW) infants. However, there are limited data on breast feeding (BF) in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). The aim of this study was to identify a practical definition of BF rate in VLBW infants and to test its applicability and reproducibility in Italian NICUs. The study populat...... hiện toàn bộ
The association of pattern of maternal weight gain with length of gestation and risk of spontaneous preterm deliveryPaediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology - Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 392-406 - 1997
Suzan L. Carmichael, Barbara Abrams, Steve Selvin
Monitoring weight gain during pregnancy may be useful in detecting pregnancies that are at increased risk of early delivery. This study examines 7259 deliveries that occurred at the University of California, San Francisco's Moffitt Hospital from 1980 to 1990. Obese women, women with diabetes or hypertension during pregnancy, deliveries with congenital malformations and non‐spontaneous pret...... hiện toàn bộ
Pregnant women at work: rest periods to prevent preterm birth?Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 19-28 - 1989
N Mamelle, I Bertucat, F Munoz
Summary. The aim of this study is to identify social preventive measures in an attempt to prevent pre‐term birth in pregnant women who work under strenuous conditions. A study carried out in 50 factories allowed us to gather data on 1168 pregnancies that occurred during 1 year and to study the modifications in working conditions now granted to pregnant women in many...... hiện toàn bộ
