Variation in follow-up for children born very preterm in Europe
Seppänen, AV; Barros, H; Draper, ES; Petrou, S; Andronis, L; Kim, S; Maier, RF; Pedersen, P; Gadzinowski, J; Pierrat, V; Sarrechia, I; Lebeer, JBackground Children born very preterm (<32 weeks of gestation) face high risks of neurodevelopmental and health difficulties compared with children born at term. Follow-up after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit is essential to ensure early detection and intervention, but data on policy approaches are sparse. Methods We investigated the characteristics of follow-up policy and programmes in 11 Euro...
Risk factors for cerebral palsy and movement difficulties in 5-year-old childre...
Aubert, AM; Costa, R; Johnson, S; Aden, U; Cuttini, M; Koopman-Esseboom, C; Lebeer, J; Varendi, H; Zemlin, M; Pierrat, V; Zeitlin, JBackgroundMotor impairment is common after extremely preterm (EPT, <28 weeks' gestational age (GA)) birth, with cerebral palsy (CP) affecting about 10% of children and non-CP movement difficulties (MD) up to 50%. This study investigated the sociodemographic, perinatal and neonatal risk factors for CP and non-CP MD.MethodsData come from a European population-based cohort of children born EPT in 2011-2012 in 11 c...
Follow-up after very preterm birth in Europe
Seppänen, AV; Draper, ES; Petrou, S; Barros, H; Andronis, L; Kim, SW; Maier, RF; Pedersen, P; Gadzinowski, J; Lebeer, J; Ådén, U; Toome, LFollow-up programmes aim to detect neurodevelopmental and health problems and enable early interventions for children born very preterm (<32 weeks of gestational age (GA)). Although the importance of postdischarge follow-up is widely acknowledged, recommendations differ regarding eligibility criteria, frequency, duration and content, especially for follow-up beyond early childhood.1–3 We used data from a Europe...
Health-related quality of life of children born very preterm: a multinational E...
Kim, SW; Andronis, L; Seppänen, AV; Aubert, AM; Barros, H; Draper, ES; Sentenac, M; Zeitlin, J; Petrou, S; SHIPS Research GroupPurpose This study aims to (1) describe the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes experienced by children born very preterm (28–31 weeks’ gestation) and extremely preterm (< 28 weeks’ gestation) at five years of age and (2) explore the mediation effects of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and severe non-respiratory neonatal morbidity on those outcomes. Methods This investigation was based on data for ...
Parents' ratings of post-discharge healthcare for their children born very pret...
Seppänen, AV; Sauvegrain, P; Draper, ES; Toome, L; El Rafei, R; Petrou, S; Barros, H; Zimmermann, LJI; Cuttini, M; Zeitlin, J; SHIPS Research GroupBackground Follow-up of very preterm infants is essential for reducing risks of health and developmental problems and relies on parental engagement. We investigated parents’ perceptions of post-discharge healthcare for their children born very preterm in a European multi-country cohort study. Methods Data come from a 5-year follow-up of an area-based cohort of births <32 weeks’ gestation in 19 regions from 11 E...
Economic costs at age five associated with very preterm birth: multinational Eu...
Kim, SW; Andronis, L; Seppänen, AV; Aubert, AM; Zeitlin, J; Barros, H; Draper, ES; Petrou, S; SHIPS Research GroupBackground: This study aims to estimate the economic costs of care provided to children born very preterm and extremely preterm across 11 European countries, and to understand what perinatal and socioeconomic factors contribute to higher costs. Methods: Generalised linear modelling was used to explore the association between perinatal and sociodemographic characteristics and total economic costs (€, 2016 prices...
