  • In utero exposure to antiretroviral therapy

    Claire Hankin, Hermione Lyall et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    Most uninfected children born to diagnosed HIV-infected women in the United Kingdom (UK) are exposed to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in utero and neonatally, and concerns exist about potential adverse effects of such exposure. We explored the feasibility of using national clinic-based follow-up to investigate the association between ART exposure and adverse health events occurring after the neonatal period. Active surveillance of obstetric and pa…

  • 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 …

  • Screening for HIV infection in pregnancy

    C F Davison, F John Holland et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care1993

    Antenatal HIV screening policies throughout the British Isles were surveyed and results linked to data on HIV-infected pregnant women notified through the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Units offering HIV testing to all pregnant women were compared with those offering it only to women considered to be at risk, and in both situations fewer than 50% of infected women were identified as HIV infected for the first time in antenata…

  • Birth weight and body mass index in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood as predictors of blood pressure at age 36

    F John Holland, O Stark et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1993Cited by: 1

    STUDY OBJECTIVE--The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between blood pressure at age 36, and birth weight and body mass index (BMI) in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. DESIGN--Prospective longitudinal survey over a period of 36 years in England, Scotland, and Wales. PARTICIPANTS--A nationally representative sample consisting of 3332 men and women born in one week in March 1946. Altogether 82% of these subjects had complet…

  • Childhood morbidity and adulthood ill health

    STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the state of health in childhood and ill health in early adult life. DESIGN--The study used data collected as part of the National Child Development Study and related health at 7 years of age to that at 23. A wide range of information on child health in the cohort was available, which was used to construct a broader measure of health status than selected diagnostic …

  • Prevalence of antibodies to herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 in pregnant women, and estimated rates of infection

    A E Ades, C S Peckham et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1989References: 23

    There has been a recent increase in notifications of genital herpes but it is not known whether this has been reflected in the pregnant population. We have therefore carried out a study to determine the prevalence of herpes simplex antibodies in pregnant women and to estimate the incidence of primary infection. Sera were collected from 3533 women at antenatal clinics and tested for total antibodies to herpes simples virus (HSV), and if positive, …

  • Pre‐school immunisation

    Open AccessYVONNE D SENTURIA, CATHERINE S PECKHAM et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society1987

    With the anticipated introduction of a triple vaccine that protects against measles, mumps and rubella, the proportion of children vaccinated each year will need to rise from 68 per cent to 95 per cent if the target of eliminating measles is to be achieved. This article reviews the morbidity associated with preventable infectious diseases of childhood, discusses possible reasons for inadequate vaccine uptake and suggests ways for improving this s…

  • The natural history of asthma in childhood

    H R Anderson, J Martin Bland et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1986Cited by: 10References: 14

    The incidence and prognosis of childhood asthma and wheezing illness (AW) was studied using data obtained at ages 7, 11, and 16 from a national cohort of 8806 children born in 1958. By the age of 16, 24.7% were reported to have experienced at least one episode of AW. In 18.3% AW had started before the age of 8, but only 4.2% continued to have symptoms in later childhood. A further 3.6% began to have AW between the ages of 8 and 11, and 2.8% began…
