In young women, the use of snus increases in parallel with decreasing smoking rates but pregnancy is unclear. Our aims were to determine prevalence use, and other nicotine-containing product during pregnancy, identify predictors for pregnancy. Prevalence was determined 2528 women Norway Sweden based on Preventing Atopic Dermatitis ALLergies (PreventADALL) study, a population-based, mother-child birth cohort. Electronic questionnaires completed week 18 and/or 34, potential analysed using...
More knowledge about sensitization patterns in early infancy, including impact of molecular allergology, is needed to help predict future allergy development more accurately.We aimed determine the prevalence and allergic at 3 months age, explore possible associated factors.From Scandinavian antenatally recruited PreventADALL mother-child cohort, we included 1110 3-month infants with available serum. Sensitization was defined as s-IgE ≥0.1 kUA /L by Phadiatop Infant® (ThermoFisher Scientific)...
Abstract Background Most Norwegian adolescents experience their first sexual intercourse during late adolescence. Use of contraception is important to avoid unwanted pregnancy, while condoms can also protect against sexually transmitted diseases. There are few studies on the use at intercourse, most with varying results, and some have only examined among girls. In our study, we aimed determine investigate associations between contraceptives sociodemographic factors, alcohol other substance...
Overweight and atopic dermatitis (AD) are major health problems in most industrialised countries, but the relationship between overweight AD infants young children is unclear. We investigated if weight-for-length at birth, infancy two years, as well early weight-gain velocity, associated with development of life. Cohort study (n = 642), all living south-east Norway, hospitalized acute bronchiolitis 404) or recruited from general population 238), examined mean age 5.1 months (enrolment) a...
To estimate the prevalence and perinatal risk factors associated with parent reported colic, abdominal pain or other discomforts in infants until 3 months of age.Infant colic is a common concern for parents clinicians. The varies different studies its symptoms overlap conditions like discomfort. Diagnosis criteria are challenging, pathogenesis unclear conflicting.This was prospective cohort study.The 1852 mother-child pairs from PreventADALL birth-cohort answering questionnaire were...
Abstract Aims To identify maternal food‐avoidance diets and dietary supplement use during breastfeeding, to explore factors associated with food avoidance diets. Design A prospective mother–child birth cohort study. Methods Electronic questionnaires were answered by 1,462 breastfeeding mothers 6 months postpartum in the Preventing Atopic Dermatitis Allergies Children (PreventADALL) study from 2014–2016. Demographic antenatal analysed for associations 1,368 women multiple logistic regression....
Physical activity during pregnancy is important for maternal and offspring health. Optimal conditions may help reduce the burden of noncommunicable diseases. National international guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes physical moderate intensity per week. To optimize in pregnant women, it to identify factors associated with higher levels activity.This study aimed explore types midpregnancy Norway Sweden activity.From population-based mother-child cohort Preventing Atopic Dermatitis...
The primary aim was to explore whether infants with pain symptoms (colic, abdominal and visit healthcare provider or other discomforts) had increased multimorbidity (common infections, eczema food sensitivity) compared without these conditions. Secondarily, we aimed determine infant were associated maternal perceived stress in pregnancy 3 months postpartum.Infant colic are common concerns early infancy. Nevertheless, our knowledge, little research exists on the relationship between...
Abstract Background The Public Health Intervention Wheel ( PHIW ) is a population‐based practice model that encompasses three levels of (community, systems, and individual/family) 17 public health interventions. Each intervention level contributes to improving population health. nurses PHN s) provide care at the practice. Prevention falls issue majority happen home. Therefore, prevention management in community could benefit from systems approach by s underpinned . Case Presentation A...
We aimed to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with maternal use nicotine products in relation breastfeeding.Nicotine 3 months postpartum was determined Scandinavian PreventADALL mother-child birth cohort study recruiting 1837 women from 2014 2016. Electronic questionnaires at 18 weeks pregnancy provided information on snus use, smoking or other infant feeding socio-economic factors. The risk breastfeeding analysed logistic regression.Overall, 5.6% used (2.9%), smoked (2.7%)...
Background Infant lung function can be assessed with tidal flow–volume (TFV) loops. While TFV loops measured in both awake and sleeping infants, the influence of arousal state early infancy is not established. The aim present study was to determine whether loop parameters healthy infants differed while compared at 3 months age. Methods From population-based Scandinavian Preventing Atopic Dermatitis ALLergies children (PreventADALL) birth cohort, 91 had reproducible Exhalyzer ® D were...
While recent studies show that maternal use of snus during pregnancy is increasing, the potential effects on infant birth size less investigated, with conflicting results.We aimed to determine if influences anthropometric and proportional measures at birth.In 2313 mother-child pairs from population-based, cohort PreventADALL (Preventing Atopic Dermatitis ALLergies) in Norway Sweden, we assessed nicotine exposure by electronic questionnaire(s) 18 34 weeks pregnancy, measurements birth....
Objective Research on early origins of lung disease suggests the need for studying relationships thoracic and size with fetal pulmonary circulation. The primary aim this study is therefore to explore associations between circumference, volume, size. We also assess if volume circumference are associated artery blood flow velocity measures. Methods Cross‐sectional assessment singleton pregnancies from general population ( n = 447) at 30 gestational weeks (GW) was performed using ultrasound...
Abstract Background In utero exposure to nicotine, largely assessed by smoking, is a risk factor for impaired offspring health, while potential effects of non-combustible nicotine use such as snus (oral moist tobacco), are less well-known. Maternal serum concentrations placental growth (PlGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) may be viewed “placenta health markers”, known differ fetal sex. smoking during pregnancy has been associated with lower levels circulating sFlt-1, the...
Abstract Background and Aim Impaired lung function in early infancy is associated with later wheeze asthma, while fetal thoracic circumference (TC) predicts severity of neonatal hypoplasia. Exploring origins infancy, we aimed to determine if TC mid‐pregnancy was infant function. Methods From the prospective Scandinavian general population‐based PreventADALL mother–child birth cohort, all 851 3‐month‐old infants tidal flow‐volume measurements awake state ultrasound size measures at 18...
Bakgrunn og hensikt. Helsesykepleiestudenter har 10 uker veiledet praksis i helsestasjons- skolehelsetjeneste. Tradisjonelt en veileder hatt ansvar for student praksis. Med bakgrunn utdanningens utfordringer med å skaffe nok praksisplasser, ønsket vi prøve ut veiledning av studenter par, «tospannmodellen», som ny praksismodell innenfor helsesykepleieutdanningen. Praksisveiledernes erfaringer denne modellen vil være et viktig bidrag vurderingen dette alternativ praksisopplæring. Hensikten...
