Predicting long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes for children born very preterm: a systematic review.

Context: Children born very preterm (<32 weeks' gestation) have increased risk of neurodevelopmental difficulties compared with those born at term. While various neonatal exposures have been linked with later developmental challenges, identifying those at risk of difficulties later in childhood remains a challenge but is essential for targeting early intervention and counselling families.

Objective: To systematically review and synthesise the evidence regarding early medical and environmental factors for neurodevelopmental impairment, cognitive, motor and behavioural outcomes for children born very preterm.

Digital versus nondigital behavioral interventions on cardiovascular risk reduction: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: We aimed to assess whether digital behavioral interventions improve cardiovascular risk factors more effectively than nondigital behavioral interventions.

Methods: We searched 7 electronic databases from January 1, 1990, to April 4, 2024. We performed a random-effects meta-analysis to pool the effects of digital versus nondigital interventions on body composition, blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipid concentrations.

Risk Factor Effects on Neurodevelopment at 2 Years in Very Preterm Children: A Systematic Review.

Context: Various medical and social factors are associated with adverse neurodevelopment in children born very preterm. Analyses accounting for confounders involving representative samples are essential to quantify the effects of different factors.

Objective: We aimed to systematically review the effects of various risk factors on neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 18 to 36 months of age in children born before 32 weeks' gestation.

The association between childhood sexual abuse and historical intimate partner violence with body mass index and diabetes: Evidence from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations of childhood sexual abuse and historical intimate partner violence with body mass index and diabetes among mid-age women. Data from 5782 participants in the 1946-51 cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health were used. The association of abuse reported to have occurred before 1996 with body mass index and incident diabetes during 20 years of follow-up were examined using longitudinal logistic regression.

Prevalence of Exclusive Breastfeeding Practices and associated factors among mothers in Bahir Dar city, Northwest Ethiopia: a community based cross-sectional study.

Background: Breastfeeding is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants. World Health Organization (WHO) recommend exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for six months which has a great contribution in reducing under five mortality, which otherwise leads to death of 88/1000 live birth yearly in Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to assess prevalence of EBF and associated factors in mothers in the city of Bahir Dar, Northwest Ethiopia.
