Sex Ratio at Birth in Northern Ireland During the Covid ‐19 Pandemic
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…
Impact of breastfeeding on the incidence and severity of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated acute lower respiratory infections in infants
Changes in preterm birth and stillbirth during Covid-19 lockdowns in 26 countries
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide. Changes in PTB rates, ranging from −90% to +30%, were reported in many countries following early COVID-19 pandemic response measures ('lockdowns'). It is unclear whether this variation reflects real differences in lockdown impacts, or perhaps differences in stillbirth rates and/or study designs. Here we present interrupted time series and meta-analyses using harmonized data f…
Unprecedented reduction in births of very low birthweight (VLBW) and extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants during the Covid-19 lockdown in Ireland
BACKGROUND: Aetiology of births involving very low birthweight (VLBW) and extremely low birthweight (ELBW) infants is heterogeneous and preventive strategies remain elusive. Socioenvironmental measures implemented as Ireland's response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) pandemic represented a national lockdown, and have possibly influenced the health and well-being of pregnant women and unborn infants. METHODS: Regional trends of VLBW and ELBW in…
