Thyroid hormones are essential for neurodevelopment from early pregnancy onward. Yet population-based data on the association between maternal thyroid function in and children's cognitive development sparse.Our objective was to study associations of hypothyroxinemia TSH free T(4)(FT(4)) levels across entire range with functioning childhood.We conducted a cohort The Netherlands.Participants included 3659 children their mothers.In pregnant women normal at 13 wk gestation (SD = 1.7), mild...
Early executive functioning is an important predictor for future development of children's cognitive skills and behavioral outcomes. Parenting behavior has proven to be a key environmental determinant child functioning. However, the association parental affect cognitions directed with been understudied. Therefore, in present study we examine associations between bonding (i.e., affective tie from parent child), parenting stress, At 26 weeks pregnancy, at 6 months 24 postpartum quality...
Maternal depression and anxiety during pregnancy have been associated with offspring-attention deficit problems.We explored possible intrauterine effects by comparing maternal paternal symptoms pregnancy, investigating cross-cohort consistency, whether parental in early childhood may explain any observed effect.This study was conducted two cohorts (Generation R, n = 2,280 ALSPAC, 3,442). Pregnant women their partners completed questionnaires to assess of anxiety. Child attention problems...
Background Previous research suggests, though not consistently, that maternal psychological distress during pregnancy leads to adverse birth outcomes. We investigated whether affects fetal growth the period of mid-pregnancy until birth. Method Pregnant women ( n =6313) reported levels using Brief Symptom Inventory (anxious and depressive symptoms) Family Assessment Device (family stress) at 20.6 weeks had ultrasound measurements in mid- late pregnancy. Estimated weight was calculated head...
Both prenatal and postnatal parental bonding (i.e., the affective tie from parent to child) have important effects on child functioning. However, research continuity correlates of is lacking. Therefore, goal present study was examine stability levels explore distinct patterns with a latent class analysis. Moreover, these in parental-, child-, contextual domain were studied. Levels maternal (N = 370) paternal 292) potential assessed at 26 weeks pregnancy, 6 months, 24 months postpartum....
Purpose The authors investigated continuity and discontinuity of vocabulary skills in a population-based cohort the Netherlands. Method Mothers 3,759 children completed Dutch version MacArthur Short Form Vocabulary Checklist (Zink & Lejaegere, 2003) at 18 months translation Language Development Survey (Rescorla, 1989) 30 months. At both ages, expressive delay was defined as scores <10th age- gender-specific percentile. Results Of children, 85.2% had normal development 6.2% were “late...
Although relations of various parental psychological problems and family functioning with child development are well documented, it remains unclear whether specific prenatal or postnatal risk factors independently associated emotional behavioural problems, observed associations can be explained by general psychopathology. Using a stepwise approach, we examined the effects depressive symptoms, hostility parents, as on problems. This study was embedded in Generation R: population-based cohort...
Background Although crime victimisation is as prevalent in psychiatric patients perpetration (and possibly more so), few European figures for it are available. We therefore assessed its one-year prevalence and incident rates Dutch severely mentally ill outpatients, compared the results with general population. Method This multisite epidemiological survey included a random sample of 956 adult outpatients. Data on were obtained using scale Crime Victimisation Survey, which assesses over...

Design Pragmatic, multicentre, stepped wedge cluster randomised trial. Setting 60 midwifery practices Netherlands. Participants 13 046 women aged 16 years or older a singleton pregnancy. Interventions offered (serial fundal height measurements clinically...
Noninvasive prenatal testing by cell-free DNA analysis is offered to pregnant women worldwide screen for fetal aneuploidies. In noninvasive testing, the fraction of in maternal circulation measured as a quality control parameter. Given that originates from placenta, might also reflect placental health and pregnancy adaptation.
The authors tested associations between (a) parent-reported temporary vs. persistent vocabulary delay and (b) behavioral/emotional problems in a sample of 5,497 young Dutch children participating prospective population-based study.Mothers completed the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory-Netherlands (Zink & Lejaegere, 2003) at age 18 months Language Survey (Rescorla, 1989) 30 months, with expressive defined as scores lowest 15th age- gender-specific percentiles. Child Behavior...
Postpartum maternal anxiety and depression can affect child development family functioning. However, the long-term impact of postpartum on paternal mental health is understudied. The present large-scale prospective cohort study one first to investigate whether depressive symptoms at age 5-6 years separately synergistically increase emotional problems in early adolescence 11-12 years. Secondly, we investigated concurrent moderated association between period with years.This part Amsterdam Born...
The quality of registry based studies depends largely on the data accuracy registries. Dutch Perinatal Registry (Perined) is a nationwide database comprising perinatal digitally provided by different healthcare providers. Perined are used for comparing outcomes across regions and institutions as well analyses research purposes. However, little known about database. Therefore, this protocol depicts our proposed study assessing compared to hospital records case report forms (CRFs) that were...
Maternity care professionals need to guide women through an increasing number of decision-making processes during pregnancy. Professionals tend focus more on providing information than decision support. According the self-determination theory (SDT), could help make their own choices by fulfilling three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness autonomy-supportive interactions. This study aimed quantify autonomy-thwarting interactions that use prenatal consultations...
