Outcomes of Preterm Infants Admitted to Canadian Nicus Before and During the Sars-COV Pandemic
There were no significant differences in major morbidity or mortality rates in preterm infants between pre-pandemic and pandemic cohorts in Canadian NICUs
Pre-pregnancy body mass index, gestational diabetes mellitus, and gestational weight gain
Background Pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and gestational weight gain (GWG) are interlinked and may play a complex role in fetal growth. We aimed to examine the relationship between pre-pregnancy BMI, GDM, GWG, and fetal growth outcomes and explore the contribution of GDM and GWG to the relationship between Pre-pregnancy obesity/overweight and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) in a prospective cohort. Meth…
Head Circumference Versus Length and Weight Deficits up to 2 Years of Age in Bangladesh
Infant undernutrition, defined by length- and weight-based indices, is common in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), but corresponding deficits in head size have received less attention. In a cohort of term newborns in Dhaka, Bangladesh, we compared the severity of deficits (vs. World Health Organization Growth Standards) in head circumference (HC), length and weight at birth and every 3 months until 2 years of age (n range across timepoint…
Associations of linear growth and weight gain in the first 2 years with bone mass at 4 years of age in children in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Objective: Growth faltering is widespread in many low- and middle-income countries, but its effects on childhood bone mass accrual are unknown. The objective of this study was to estimate associations between length (conditional length-for-age z -scores, cLAZ) and weight (conditional weight-for-age z -scores, cWAZ) gain in three age intervals (ages 0–6, 6–12 and 12–24 months) with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-derived measures of bone mass (to…
Grading of Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Neurodevelopment in Preterm <29 Weeks’ GA in Canada
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcome at 18−24 months in surviving preterm infants with grades I−IV intraventricular hemorrhages (IVHs) compared to those with no IVH. Study Design: We included preterm survivors <29 weeks’ GA admitted to the Canadian Neonatal Network’s NICUs from April 2009 to September 2011 with follow-up data at 18−24 months in a retrospective cohort study. The neonates were grouped base…
Timing of Systemic Steroids and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Infants < 29 Weeks Gestation
Objective: To determine the association between postnatal age (PNA) at first administration of systemic postnatal steroids (sPNS) for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and mortality or significant neurodevelopmental impairment (sNDI) at 18−24 months corrected age (CA) in infants < 29 weeks’ gestation. Methods: Data from the Canadian Neonatal Network and Canadian Neonatal Follow-up Network databases were used to conduct this retrospective cohort st…
Higher versus Lower Oxygen Concentration during Respiratory Support in the Delivery Room in Extremely Preterm Infants

Stillbirth in Canada
The archaic definition and registration processes for stillbirth currently prevalent in Canada impede both clinical care and public health. The situation is fraught because of definitional problems related to the inclusion of induced abortions at ≥20 weeks’ gestation as stillbirths: widespread uptake of prenatal diagnosis and induced abortion for serious congenital anomalies has resulted in an artefactual temporal increase in stillbirth rates in …
Early childhood specialization among Ecec educators and preschool children’s outcomes
Is educators’ years of experience in early childhood education and care settings associated with child outcomes? A systematic review and meta-analysis
A meta-analysis and systematic review of the associations between professional development of early childhood educators and children's outcomes
Pulse oximetry screening for critical congenital heart defects in Ontario, Canada
The relationship between the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale and its revised form and child outcomes
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of a Measure of Staff/Child Interaction Quality (the Classroom Assessment Scoring System) in Early Childhood Education and Care Settings and Child Outcomes
Efficacy of oral iron therapy in improving the developmental outcome of pre-school children with non-anaemic iron deficiency
Objective To systematically review the efficacy and safety of oral Fe therapy in pre-school children (1–5 years) with non-anaemic Fe deficiency, determined by children's developmental and haematological status and the incidence of reported side-effects. Design A random-effects model was used to show mean differences with 95 % confidence intervals of developmental and haematological scores between Fe-treated and non-treated groups. Setting MEDLINE…
Neighbourhood Income Level and Outcomes of Extremely Preterm Neonates
Intention to Become Pregnant and Low Birth Weight and Preterm Birth
Someone else’s blood’
In Canada, parents can give blood exclusively for their child’s transfusion, a process known as directed donation. This qualitative study aimed to understand parents’ perceptions in seeking to provide blood for their newborn. Ten parents whose preterm children were cared for in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of one Canadian hospital were interviewed. The beliefs and experiences of parents with regard to directed donation were analyzed with refe…
