    Sammanfattning : Background: The survival rates for very low birthweight (VLBW; birthweight ≤1500 g) children are increasing, but they run a greater risk than controls of developing neurosensory disabilities and other functional problems during childhood. However, there is a great need for more knowledge regarding long-term outcome to adulthood in VLBW subjects. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Dietary exposure to persistent organochlorine compounds and health effects in women and their infants - Epidemiological studies on birthweight, cancer incidence, and mortality

    Sammanfattning : In Sweden the main exposure route for both polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and other persistent organochlorine compounds is through consumption of fatty fish species from the Baltic Sea (the eastern coast of Sweden).

  5. 4. Fetal growth in India : studies on antenatal prediction of low birthweight and some factors that determine birthweight

    Författare :Matthews Mathai; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Fetal growth; birthweight; light for gestational age; Indian; fundal height; fetal biometry; ethnic; smoking; genital infection.;

    Sammanfattning : Objectives: To develop standards for assessment of fetal growth in India and to study some factors that determine birthweight. Methods: Data from 250 normal pregnancies were used to construct graphs of fundal height, abdominal girth and the ratio of fundal height to abdominal length. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Postnatal Peer Counseling on Exclusive Breastfeeding of Low-birthweight Filipino Infants : Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial

    Sammanfattning : In a Manila hospital, 204 mothers were randomized into three groups: two intervention groups receiving home-based counseling visits, one of them (n=68) by counselors trained to use a locally developed, two-tiered program of breastfeeding counseling, and the other by counselors trained in general childcare (n=67), were compared with a control group of mothers (n=69) who did not receive any counseling. All infants were scheduled for seven visits to the hospital for follow-up. LÄS MER
