Sex Ratio at Birth in Northern Ireland During the Covid ‐19 Pandemic: A Comparison With Published Data From the Republic of Ireland, England and Wales
OBJECTIVES: The COVID-19 pandemic has been linked in several countries to fluctuations in the proportion of male live births/total live births, known as the sex ratio at birth (SRB). This study investigates how the pandemic influenced SRB patterns in Northern Ireland compared to published data from neighboring regions, including the Republic of Ireland with which it shares an open land border, and England and Wales, across the sea. METHODS: Month…
The Impact of the Covid ‐19 Pandemic on the Sex Ratio at Birth in Ireland
OBJECTIVES: The sex ratio at birth (SRB), calculated as male divided by total live births, is an important indicator of population health. Typically, male live births slightly outnumber female live births. Population events, including pandemics, can alter the SRB, with effects sometimes evident 9 months post-event, potentially due to changes in sexual behavior and/or stress levels. This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on th…
Why and how medical schools, peer-reviewed journals, and research funders should promote Wikipedia editing
Do academics, both directly and indirectly involved with healthcare, have a moral mandate to ensure that Wikipedia has the most accurate, up-to-date and understandable information? From the perspective of a physician who is also a long-time Wikipedia editor, the ethical, moral, and power dynamics of the medical community’s interaction with Wikipedia are explored in this paper. An attempt is made to reconcile and identify the key stakeholders affe…
Caesarean section delivery and childhood obesity: Evidence from the growing up in New Zealand cohort
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have reported conflicting results in the association between Caesarean section (CS) birth and childhood obesity. Many of these studies had small sample sizes, were unable to distinguish between elective/planned and emergency CS, and did not adjust for the key confounder maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI). We investigated the association between CS delivery, particularly elective/planned and childhood …
Evolution of Wikipedia’s medical content: Past, present and future
As one of the most commonly read online sources of medical information, Wikipedia is an influential public health platform. Its medical content, community, collaborations and challenges have been evolving since its creation in 2001, and engagement by the medical community is vital for ensuring its accuracy and completeness. Both the encyclopaedia's internal metrics as well as external assessments of its quality indicate that its articles are high…
