Abstract Background Despite increased funding of measles vaccination programs by national governments and international aid agencies, structural factors encumber attainment childhood immunisation to levels which may guarantee herd immunity. One such is parental education status. Research on the links between has typically focused influence maternal This study aims demonstrate independent paternal status immunisation. Methods Comparable nationally representative survey data were obtained from...

Regional differences in vaccination uptake are common both developed and developing countries, often linked to the availability of healthcare services socioeconomic factors. In 2007, 0.9 million eligible Indonesian children missed measles vaccination, 19 456 cases were documented among children. The authors investigated rural-urban differentials coverage young children, sought identify key factors influencing probability a child receiving first dose Indonesia.Data used analyses sourced from...

Background: Asynchrony in circadian processes alters many physiological systems, including female reproduction. Thus, there are possible reproductive consequences of night shift work for women menstrual irregularity, endometriosis, and prolonged time to conception. This study examined whether who worked were more likely than those did not require fertility treatment conceive a first birth, they had specific infertility diagnoses, if such relationships age-specific. Methods: In retrospective...

SUMMARY The preimplantation embryo is extraordinarily sensitive to environmental signals and events such that perturbations can alter metabolism program an altered developmental trajectory, ultimately affecting the phenotype of adult individual; indeed, physical environment associated with in vitro culture attenuate development. Defining underlying metabolic changes mechanisms, however, has been limited by imaging technology used evaluate metabolites structural features embryo. Here, we...

Abstract STUDY QUESTION Are reproductive, metabolic or psychological health profiles of women with clinically diagnosed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) different from those undiagnosed PCOS? SUMMARY ANSWER Obtaining a clinical diagnosis PCOS is strongly linked to the experience fertility problems, but not depression poor health, although these were highly prevalent in irrespective when they diagnosed. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY an endocrine disorder that relative common, heterogeneous...

Objective To examine longitudinal trends in infertility management women attending general practice. Design Cohort study using the national practice dataset, MedicineInsight. Setting Australian Intervention(s) Not applicable. Participants The cohort included 2 552 339 aged 18–49 years with one or more clinical encounters between January 2011 and December 2021. Primary secondary outcome measures(s) primary assessed was proportion of who had a encounter related to infertility, stratified by...

To determine health systems-related, familial, and cultural factors which influence the delivery uptake of measles vaccination in Indonesia. Logistic regression analysis data collected during 2007 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey was undertaken by authors to investigate these factors. The dataset is a nationally representative, randomly sampled survey containing 15 065 children aged between 9 59 months. 72.8% had received vaccine. Vaccination coverage similar for males females; however,...

Research indicates that shiftwork may be associated with increased risks of adverse health outcomes, including some cancers. However, the evidence an association between and colorectal cancer risk is limited inconclusive. Further, while several possible pathways through which might result in have been proposed, few studies taken these factors into account. We investigated two types (graveyard early-morning shiftwork) six mechanistic variables (including light at night phase shift) among...

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome are susceptible to depression and anxiety so may also be at risk for postnatal depression. This study investigates whether women have an elevated of depression.Cross-sectional data parous (n = 566) were available from a birth cohort. Polycystic was diagnosed using the Rotterdam criteria. Details reproductive history, pregnancy, birth, obtained through structured interview. Comparisons made between without logistic regression analysis, including...

<h3>Objective</h3> To develop a job-exposure matrix (JEM) that estimates exposure to eight variables representing different aspects of shiftwork among female workers. <h3>Methods</h3> Occupational history and data were obtained from population-based breast cancer case–control study. Exposure light at night, phase shift, sleep disturbances, poor diet, lack physical activity, vitamin D, graveyard early morning shifts, was calculated by occupational code. Three threshold values based on the...

To compare perinatal outcomes for neonates conceived with donated sperm those spontaneously in an Australian population cohort.Perinatal all births South Australia the period January 1986-December 2002 were linked assisted reproductive treatment records to determine from sperm. Birth outcome measures analyzed using Student's t-test and logistic regression generalized estimating equations statistical significance.Donor not significantly different their counterparts terms of mean birthweight,...

Objective To investigate the role of maternal night shift work in occurrence urogenital anomalies offspring, considering a possible interaction with mode conception. Methods A population-based cohort comprising births South Australia (1986–2002) was produced via linkage fertility clinic records, perinatal and birth defects data. This study concerned first to women paid employment (n=98 103). Potential exposure imputed by applying job-exposure matrix recorded occupation. Associations were...

Objective: Although polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is considered a lifelong disorder, very little understood about the diagnosis and impact of this condition in women outside peak reproductive years. We examined frequency diagnosed PCOS concurrent health conditions across lifespan. Methods: Data were analysed from 1509 aged 15–95 years participating cross-sectional, face-to-face population survey South Australia, 2015. assessed prevalence 10-year age groups comorbidities with without...

Abstract Objective To assess associations between clomiphene citrate (CC) use and perinatal death. Design Whole of population data linkage cohort. Setting South Australia. Participants All women giving birth July 2003 December 2015 (n = 242,077). Methods births at least 20 weeks were linked to government records dispensed medications. A pregnancy was considered exposed CC if a prescription from 90 days before through the end conception window. Descriptive statistics for stillbirths neonatal...

Existing research suggests a link between women's participation in shift work and both menstrual disturbances endometriosis. However little is known about whether these factors contribute to working women seeking treatment for infertility. This study investigated employed occupations with probable exposure night were more likely access fertility clinic conceive their first child. A job-exposure matrix developed Australia was applied cohort produced by linking data (1986–2002) the South...
