To resolve uncertainty as to the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) associated with sleeping in bed your baby if neither parent smokes and is breastfed.Bed sharing was defined a parents' bed; room room. Frequency during last sleep compared between babies who died SIDS living control infants. Five large case-control datasets were combined. Missing data imputed. Random effects logistic regression controlled for confounding factors.Home arrangements infants 19 studies across UK, Europe...
<b>Aim:</b> To identify risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in the sleeping environment of Irish infants. <b>Methods:</b> A five year population based case-control study with parental interviews conducted each case and three controls matched age, place birth, last sleep period. total 203 SIDS cases 622 control infants born 1994–98 were studied. <b>Results:</b> In a multivariate analysis, co-sleeping significantly increased both as usual practice (adjusted OR 4.31; 95% CI...
<h3>Objective</h3> To determine placental characteristics associated with neonatal encephalopathy (NE) and correlate these short- long-term neurodevelopmental outcome. <h3>Design</h3> Case/control study. <h3>Setting</h3> Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Rotunda Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. <h3>Patients</h3> Newborns ≥36 weeks gestation, NE (cases). Healthy term newborns (controls). <h3>Interventions</h3> Placental pathology was obtained from the official report. Brain MRI blindly reviewed....
<b>Background:</b> It is unclear if it safe for babies to bed share with adults. In Ireland 49% of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases occur when the bed-sharing an adult. <b>Objective:</b> To evaluate effect during last sleep period on risk factors SIDS in Irish infants. <b>Design:</b> An 8 year (1994–2001) population based case control study 287 and 831 controls matched date, place birth, period. Odds ratios 95% confidence intervals were calculated by conditional logistic regression....
<h3>Objective</h3> To examine the incidence of sudden unexplained death in children 1–4 years old (SUDC) Ireland and to compare epidemiological profile SUDC with that SIDS. <h3>Design</h3> All cases <5 between 1994 2008 were reviewed. Epidemiological information obtained from parental questionnaires post-mortem reports was examined, data on ≥52 weeks compared <52 weeks. <h3>Results</h3> accounted for 5% (n=44) deaths aged during 1994–2008. During this period, SIDS rate dropped 0.71...
To correlate pattern of injury on neonatal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with outcome in infants ≥36 + 0 weeks gestation hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy.Prospective cohort study. Images were blindly reviewed. Children assessed using a variety standardised assessments.MRI was performed 88 infants. Follow up available 73(83%) Eight 25(32%) children normal had below assessment scores. (12%) isolated punctate white matter lesions and five these abnormal Death cerebral palsy seen only...
There is increasing concern with using SIDS as a diagnosis, especially where the postmortem examination reveals additional findings that may be contributory to death exclusion. This report shows how varying criteria for diagnosis of significantly alters rate in Ireland.
Abstract Aim Mortality from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has reduced by 50%‐85% globally. Despite improvements 1990 to 2009, the Irish SIDS rate plateaued. Reasons for this are unclear, but may be related a parental awareness. Our study aimed assess intentions regarding infant sleeping practices in mothers Ireland. Methods A cross‐sectional survey of post‐partum was performed Rotunda Hospital over four month period. Mothers with history SIDS, miscarriage or neonatal admissions were...
Background: The optimum timing of administration magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) in relation to delivery is not known. general consensus achieve the mother at least 4 hours prior preterm delivery.Objective: To investigate potential predictors umbilical cord blood (Mg) concentrations, particular, antenatal MgSO4 delivery.Study design: A prospective observational study infants delivered less than 32 weeks' gestational age. Cord bloods samples were collected and Mg levels analyzed.Results: Of 81...
Aims: To determine the predictive value of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), and transaminase concentrations in first 96 hours after birth for grade encephalopathy neurodevelopmental outcome. Methods: Peak CPK, LDH were collected newborns with hypoxic ischaemic birth. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves constructed best cut off values chosen. Children assessed using a variety standardised assessments. In children <42 months (n = 78) mean age at...

<h3>Background</h3> There is currently limited accurate data available on the circumstances and causes of death in >1 year. Such information needed to identify high risk groups, most prevalent identification possible factors before interventions their delivery can be planned. <h3>Aims</h3> To develop a system for categorising paediatric deaths Ireland, examine trends mortality (<15 years) Ireland from 1994 date compare with recent international statistics. <h3>Methods</h3> Details all...
