Summary: This study evaluated the baseline cardiac function and structure as well as exercise capacity in young adults born small for gestational age (SGA). The results showed that these young adults had markedly reduced exercise capacity, indicating potential association with increased cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: This study assessed the differences in cardiometabolic health between adults born small for gestational age. The results showed that females born small for gestational age are more prone to cardiac dysfunction, while males are more likely to experience changes in electrocardiography, vascular health, and metabolism.

Summary: There is a lack of research on the body composition and physical fitness of individuals born small for gestational age (SGA) at term entering mid-adulthood. This study aimed to investigate these outcomes in adults born SGA at term. The results showed that body composition and physical fitness were similar in adults born SGA and non-SGA at term, with the exception of reduced grip strength in men born SGA, which may require further investigation.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effects of being small (SGA) or large for gestational age (LGA) on the ocular geometry of adults born at term. The results showed that severe and moderate prenatal growth restriction led to an altered ocular geometry, including a steepening of the cornea and a smaller corneal diameter.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the lipid profile in early childhood in SGA children and found that even without overweight or obesity in early childhood, SGA children had abnormal lipid profiles, which may contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood.

Summary: This study aimed to assess neurocognitive function in adults born with low birthweight compared with controls and explore associations between neurocognitive function and psychopathology in these groups. The results showed that the very low birthweight group scored significantly lower than the control group on multiple neurocognitive measures, while the small for gestational age group scored lower on IQ and psychomotor speed. Adjusted for sex and parental socioeconomic status, lower IQ was associated with attention problems. These findings have important clinical implications.

Summary: Individuals born small for gestational age (SGA) do not have significantly different health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in young adulthood compared to the non-SGA control group. Among individuals born SGA, self-perceived mental health improves during young adulthood while self-perceived physical health deteriorates.

Summary: This study examined the association between being born small for gestational age (SGA) or large for gestational age (LGA) and long-term health outcomes. It found that young adults born SGA had higher risk of short stature and impaired glucose metabolism, while those born LGA had higher risk of overweight/obesity and elevated blood pressure.

Summary: This study found that there were no significant differences in math and reading scores among children born between 37 and 41 weeks' gestational age, suggesting that delivery timing at term birth does not impact academic achievement. The results of this study can provide insights into the long-term associations between delivery timing and cognitive development and school achievement, assisting in decision-making regarding delivery timing.

Summary: Epidemiological studies have shown that gestational age and birth weight are associated with cognitive performance in adults. This study examined the relationships between gestational age, cortical gyrification, and specific neuropsychological factors in healthy adults. The findings suggest that gestational age is positively associated with cortical folding in certain brain regions, and these associations are moderated by gestational age. Additionally, gyrification is related to specific neuropsychological abilities. These results have important implications for understanding the cortical neurodevelopment of cognitive domains and mental health.

Summary: The study examines the impact of relative age on mental health, specifically in preterm infants. The results show that being relatively young within a school class is associated with an increased likelihood of psychostimulant prescription, and this effect persists into young adulthood for preterm individuals.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with short stature in children born small for gestational age (SGA) at full-term. The findings suggest that a decrease in placental perfusion, chromosomal abnormalities, short parental height, and absence of catch-up growth are risk factors for short stature in these children.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a vaccine strategy bundle in increasing HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates in a specialty clinic setting. By implementing the bundle, which included staff education, provider incentives, offering vaccines in clinics, and verifying vaccine completion, the clinic successfully improved HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates among sickle cell disease patients.

Summary: The study tested the usefulness of various biomarkers as indicators of gut dysfunction in cystic fibrosis (CF) and investigated the repeatability of these measures in individuals over short periods and their correlation with clinical outcomes. The results showed that elevated levels of fLcn2 in individuals with CF may predict worsened pulmonary function.

Summary: RAE on ECG has a low positive predictive value for RAE on echocardiogram in previously healthy young patients. The highest yield for RAE on echocardiogram was observed in patients who were <1 year of age, had RAE in the anterior precordial leads, or displayed right ventricular hypertrophy on ECG.

Antenatal steroid treatment is associated with a decreased likelihood of needing antihypertensive therapy for more than 1 year.

Summary: This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the impact of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of infants from NICU hospitalization to one year post-discharge. The study found that lower HRQL during NICU stay was associated with earlier gestational age, postnatal corticosteroid usage, outborn status, and gastrostomy tube placement. Lower HRQL at 3 and 12 months post-discharge was associated with readmissions, home oxygen use, parent-reported difficulty breathing, lower developmental scores, and not playing with other children. Most parents reported similar or improved HRQL after discharge, but parents of infants with respiratory symptoms experienced less improvement. Efforts to improve parent HRQL should focus on respiratory symptoms and social isolation.

Summary: This study aims to determine if children with elbow flexion contracture (EFC) caused by brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) are more likely to develop shoulder contracture and undergo surgical treatment. A retrospective review was conducted on children under 2 years old with BPBI who presented to a single children's hospital. The results showed that patients with EFC had reduced shoulder range of motion and higher odds of shoulder contracture and surgical treatment. Prompt referral to a BPBI specialty clinic is recommended for evaluation and potential surgery.
