Psychosocial factors in maternal phenylketonuria
OBJECTIVES. This study identified factors predicting adherence to medical recommendations in maternal phenylketonuria, which can result in severe fetal damage. METHODS. Sixty-nine women with phenylketonuria, 68 of their acquaintances, and 69 women with diabetes mellitus were interviewed annually for 5 years. A model in which each stage in the maternal phenylketonuria life cycle represented a treatment-related goal provided a means to assess adher…

Discharge data from the Hospital Cost and Utilization Project, representing multiple payers, locations, and hospital types, demonstrate increasing trends in breast-conserving surgery as a proportion of breast cance…

The New England Maternal PKU Project
Young women with phenylketonuria (PKU) are at risk for bearing children with mental retardation, microcephaly, heart defects, and low birthweight. These effects may be prevented if a low phenylalanine diet is maintained prior to and throughout pregnancy. This report describes the procedures of the New England Regional Maternal PKU Project for identifying and locating this population of at-risk women. Newborn screening records, routine umbilical c…
