  • The Association of Prenatal Diagnoses with Mortality and Long-Term Morbidity in Children with Specific Isolated Congenital Anomalies

    Open AccessAnna Heino, Joan K Morris et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Health Journal2024

    Our findings do not show improved outcomes for prenatally diagnosed infants. For conditions where prenatal diagnoses were associated with greater mortality and morbidity, the findings might be attributed to increased detection of more severe anomalies. The increased mortality and morbidity in those diagnosed prenatally may be related to the lower mean gestational age (GA) at birth, leading to insufficient surfactant for respiratory effort. This i…

  • Hospital Length of Stay and Surgery among European Children with Rare Structural Congenital Anomalies—A Population-Based Data Linkage Study

    Open AccessEster Garne, Joachim Tan et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Little is known about morbidity for children with rare structural congenital anomalies. This European, population-based data-linkage cohort study analysed data on hospitalisations and surgical procedures for 5948 children born 1995-2014 with 18 rare structural congenital anomalies from nine EUROCAT registries in five countries. In the first year of life, the median length of stay (LOS) ranged from 3.5 days (anotia) to 53.8 days (atresia of bile d…

  • ZikaPLAN

    Open AccessAnnelies Wilder‐Smith, Raman Preet et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    Zika Preparedness Latin American Network (ZikaPLAN) is a research consortium funded by the European Commission to address the research gaps in combating Zika and to establish a sustainable network with research capacity building in the Americas. Here we present a report on ZikaPLAN`s mid-term achievements since its initiation in October 2016 to June 2019, illustrating the research objectives of the 15 work packages ranging from virology, diagnost…

  • Estimating the birth prevalence and pregnancy outcomes of congenital malformations worldwide

    Open AccessSowmiya Moorthie, Hannah Blencowe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Genetics2018

    Congenital anomaly registries have two main surveillance aims: firstly to define baseline epidemiology of important congenital anomalies to facilitate programme, policy and resource planning, and secondly to identify clusters of cases and any other epidemiological changes that could give early warning of environmental or infectious hazards. However, setting up a sustainable registry and surveillance system is resource-intensive requiring national…

  • An overview of concepts and approaches used in estimating the burden of congenital disorders globally

    Open AccessSowmiya Moorthie, Hannah Blencowe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Genetics2017

    Congenital disorders are an important cause of pregnancy loss, premature death and life-long disability. A range of interventions can greatly reduce their burden, but the absence of local epidemiological data on their prevalence and the impact of interventions impede policy and service development in many countries. In an attempt to overcome these deficiencies, we have developed a tool-The Modell Global Database of Congenital Disorders (MGDb) tha…

  • Chromosomal disorders

    Open AccessSowmiya Moorthie, Hannah Blencowe et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Genetics2017

    Chromosomal disorders, of which Down syndrome is the most common, can cause multi-domain disability. In addition, compared to the general population, there is a higher frequency of death before the age of five. In many settings, large gaps in data availability have hampered policy-making, programme priorities and resource allocation for these important conditions. We have developed methods, which overcome this lack of data and allow estimation of…

  • Why is mortality higher in poorer areas and in more northern areas of England and Wales

    M R Law, Joan K MorrisARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1998Cited by: 12References: 32

    STUDY OBJECTIVE: To identify and quantify the factors responsible for the differences in mortality between affluent and deprived areas, the north and the south, and urban and rural areas in England and Wales. DESIGN: A multiple Poisson regression analysis of cause specific mortality in the 403 local authority districts, each classified by deprivation (using the Jarman Index), latitude (from 50 degrees to 55 degrees north) and urbanisation, adjust…

  • The Structure of Social Engagement among Nursing Home Residents

    Vincent Mor, Kenneth J Branco et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…1995Cited by: 17References: 5

    This research tests the reliability and construct validity of social engagement, a new quality of life measure embedded in the federally mandated Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) for the nursing home population. The sample consisted of 1,848 residents from 268 homes in 10 states with data collected by trained research nurses. Three resident groups were formed based on residents' cognitive and ADL functioning. Social engagement was significant…

  • Loss of employment and mortality

    Open AccessJoan K Morris, Derek G Cook et al.ARTICLEBMJ1994

    Objective : To assess effect of unemployment and early retirement on mortality in a group of middle aged British men. Design : Prospective cohort study (British Regional Heart Study). Five years after initial screening, information on employment experience was obtained with a postal questionnaire. Setting : One general practice in each of 24 towns in Britain. Subjects : 6191 men aged 40-59 who had been continuously employed for at least five year…
