  • Attitudes and perspectives of healthcare workers on treating chronic hepatitis C infection in children and adolescents

    Open AccessFarihah Malik, Philippa Easterbrook et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background and aims: There are gaps in knowledge about the values and preferences of healthcare workers (HCW) with respect to treatment of children and adolescents living with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection. This study was carried out to identify these values and preferences as part of the evidence required to update World Health Organization (WHO) hepatitis C guidelines. Methods: An online survey was designed and conducted during August/Sep…

  • Neurological Short-Term Outcomes of a Cohort of Children Born to Zika Virus-Infected Mothers in Barcelona

    Open AccessNatàlia Romaní, Maria Pieras et al.ARTICLEChildren2022

    Zika virus (ZIKV) is a vector-borne flavivirus with a known teratogenic effect, yet the full spectrum has not been delineated. Studies on endemic areas tried to characterize the clinical outcomes of ZIKV intrauterine exposure. We aimed to describe early neurodevelopmental outcomes on prenatally ZIKV-exposed children in a non-endemic ZIKV area. This is a prospective observational cohort study conducted from May 2016 to December 2021 at Hospital Un…

  • Risk factors for stunting in children who are HIV‐exposed and uninfected after Option B+ implementation in Malawi

    Open AccessGabriela Toledo, Megan Landes et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022

    Evidence suggests children HIV-exposed and uninfected (CHEU) experience poor growth. We analysed child anthropometrics and explored factors associated with stunting among Malawian CHEU. Mothers with HIV and their infants HIV-exposed were enroled in a nationally representative prospective cohort within the National Evaluation of Malawi's Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission Programme after Option B+ implementation (2014-2018). Anthropome…

  • Factors Associated with Non-disclosure of HIV Status in a Cohort of Childbearing HIV-Positive Women in Ukraine

  • Adherence to antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy and the first year postpartum among HIV-positive women in Ukraine

    Open AccessHeather Bailey, Claire Thorne et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Our results highlight unmet needs for counselling and support. We identify some groups at risk of poor ART adherence, including women with markers of social vulnerability and those with low ART-related self-efficacy, who may benefit from targeted interventions

  • Increase in Prevalence of Overweight in Dutch Children and Adolescents

    Open AccessYvonne Schönbeck, Henk Talma et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2011

    OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Dutch children and adolescents, to examine the 30-years trend, and to create new body mass index reference charts. DESIGN: Nationwide cross-sectional data collection by trained health care professionals. PARTICIPANTS: 10,129 children of Dutch origin aged 0-21 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Overweight (including obesity) and obesity prevalences for Dutch children, defined by the cu…

  • Factors associated with abandonment of infants born to HIV-positive women

    Heather Bailey, Igor Semenenko et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Social marginalisation and other challenges facing HIV-positive pregnant women in Ukraine may put them at increased risk of relinquishing their infants to the state. We described rates of infant abandonment (exclusive non-parental care to most recent follow-up, censored at two years of age) and investigated associated factors using logistic regression models, in 4759 mother-infant pairs enrolled across six Ukrainian sites in the European Collabor…

  • P23 Patterns of antiretroviral therapy in a European study of HIV-infected children and adolescents

    N M Alam, Mario Cortina‐borja et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2010

    Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in increasing median survival times in HIV-infected individuals by sustaining viral load suppression. Since children and adolescents are likely to have long-term exposure to ART, it is important to understand patterns of drug use to investigate the emergence of unintended sequelae. Aim To investigate patterns of ART in children and adolescents. Study Design Cross-sectional analysis of HIV-infec…

  • Mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection in Romania

    M Cocu, Claire Thorne et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2005

    A pilot prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programme was implemented in Constanta County, Romania, between 2000 and 2002. The programme consisted of clinician training, routine antenatal HIV counselling and testing and the care of HIV-infected pregnant women and their infants. A total of 11,423 pregnant women (10,192 (89%) white Europeans, 862 (7.5%) Rroma, 369 (3.2%) Central Asians) were tested during the pilot, at a median of 24…

  • The health and social environment of uninfected infants born to HIV-infected women

    Claire Hankin, Claire Thorne et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2004

    Against a background of increasing numbers of uninfected children born to HIV-infected women in Europe, we describe the social environment and occurrence of infectious disease in 1,667 infants enrolled in the European Collaborative Study (ECS) and followed prospectively. In the ECS, the proportion of children born to black women from Sub-Saharan Africa who acquired their HIV infection heterosexually has increased since the mid-1980s, while the pr…

  • Social care of children born to HIV-infected mothers in Europe

    Claire Thorne, Marie-Louise Newell et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care1998

    Children of HIV-infected women are likely to be profoundly affected by their mothers' infection, regardless of their own infection status and their number will increase with the spread of infection among women in Europe. This article describes the family circumstances and social care of 1,123 children born to HIV-infected women enrolled in the European Collaborative Study and followed prospectively from birth. Most mothers were white, married or …

  • Characteristics of pregnant HIV-1 infected women in Europe

    Claire Thorne, Marie-Louise Newell et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care1996

    There is a growing number of infected women in Europe and an increasing proportion of these have acquired their infection through heterosexual contact. Most infected women are of childbearing age and thus increasing numbers of children are at risk of acquiring infection. In this paper we examine the socio-demographic characteristics and trends in mode of acquisition of infection of 1690 infected women from 7 countries enrolled in the European Col…
