Children born small for gestational age are not at special risk for preschool emotion and behaviour problems

Christine M. Cornforth, John M.D. Thompson, Elizabeth Robinson, Karen E. Waldie, more

Early Human Development > 2012 > 88 > 7 > 479-485

Despite the wealth of literature examining long term outcomes of preterm low birthweight children, few studies have directly assessed the developmental impact of being born full term but small for gestational age (SGA). We aim to determine whether (i) being SGA increases preschool behavioural problems and (ii) other risk factors operate differently in SGA and appropriate for gestational age (AGA)...

Dietary patterns and intelligence in early and middle childhood

Reremoana F. Theodore, John M.D. Thompson, Karen E. Waldie, Clare Wall, more

Intelligence > 2009 > 37 > 5 > 506-513

The association between intelligence and diet at 3.5 and 7 years was examined in 591 children of European descent. Approximately half of the children were born small-for-gestational age (birth weight ≤10th percentile). The relationship between IQ and diet (measured by food frequency) was investigated using multiple regression analyses. Eating margarine at least daily was associated with significantly...

Sudden infant death syndrome: Risk factors for infants found face down differ from other SIDS cases

John M.D. Thompson, Bradley T. Thach, David M.O. Becroft, Edwin A. Mitchell

The Journal of Pediatrics > 2006 > 149 > 5 > 630-633.e1

To test the hypothesis that infants with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) found face down (FD) would have SIDS risk factors different from those found in other positions (non–face-down position, NFD).We used the New Zealand Cot Death Study data, a 3-year, nationwide (1987 to 1990), case-control study. Odds ratios (univariate and multivariate) for FD (n = 154) and NFD SIDS (n = 239) were estimated...

Placental Infarcts, Intervillous Fibrin Plaques, and Intervillous Thrombi: Incidences, Cooccurrences, and Epidemiological Associations

David M.O. Becroft, John M. D. Thompson, Edwin A. Mitchell

Pediatric and Developmental Pathology > 2004 > 7 > 1 > 26-34

The incidences, cooccurrences and epidemiological associations at term of the three common focal macroscopic placental lesions, infarcts, intervillous fibrin plaques (IVFP), and intervillous thrombi (IVT) were investigated as part of a population-based case-control study of small-for-gestational age (SGA) infants. Five hundred and nine placentas from women delivering SGA infants (10th percentile or...

Chest physiotherapy may be associated with brain damage in extremely premature infants

Jane E. Harding, Fiona K.I. Miles, David M.O. Becroft, Bruce C. Allen, more

The Journal of Pediatrics > 1998 > 132 > 3 > 440-444

Objectives: To determine whether a characteristic form of brain damage (encephaloclastic porencephaly) was associated with chest physiotherapy treatment in preterm babies. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was undertaken among 454 infants of birth weight less than 1500 gm cared for during the 3-year period of 1992 to 1994. Thirteen babies of 24 to 27 weeks of gestation who weighed 680 to...

Epidemiology of Intrathoracic Petechial Hemorrhages in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

David M.O. Becroft, John M.D. Thompson, Edwin A. Mitchell

Pediatric and Developmental Pathology > 1998 > 1 > 3 > 200-209

ABSTRACT The possible effects of a wide range of sociodemographic and environmental factors on the incidence and distribution of petechiae were investigated in 485 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases from the New Zealand Cot Death Study. The number (nil, few, many) of macroscopic petechial hemorrhages in the visceral pleura, capsule of thymus, and epicardium was recorded in 458 of 474 autopsied...

The accuracy and completeness of childhood cancer registration in New Zealand

John D. Dockerty, David M.O. Becroft, Margaret E. Lewis, Sheila M. Williams

Cancer Causes & Control > 1997 > 8 > 6 > 857-864

The New Zealand Cancer Registry (NZCR) is the main source of data on cancer incidence in New Zealand. The accuracy and completeness of registration of childhood cancers (ages zero to 14 years) were assessed during the conduct of a case-control study. Newly diagnosed children(1990-93) were ascertained from three sources: the NZCR; the Patient Management System (hospital admissions and discharges);...
