Effect of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (F)-based asthma management during pregnancy versus usual care on infant development, temperament, sensory function and autism signs.

Unlabelled: Asthma during pregnancy is associated with a range of adverse perinatal outcomes. It is also linked to increased rates of neurodevelopmental conditions in the offspring. We aimed to assess whether fractional exhaled nitric oxide (F)-based asthma management during pregnancy improves child developmental and behavioural outcomes compared to usual care.

Early Sensory and Temperament Features in Infants Born to Mothers With Asthma: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Maternal asthma in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. Adverse perinatal outcomes may result in poorer infant developmental outcomes, such as temperament and sensory difficulties. This study aimed to (1) assess differences in temperament and sensory features between infants born to mothers with and without asthma and (2) investigate differences in these infant behaviours as a function of maternal asthma severity and asthma control.

Parenting stress in mothers with asthma during the postpartum period.

Objective: Maternal asthma often complicates pregnancy and is linked with poorer quality of life. Additionally, individuals with asthma are at an increased risk of depression and anxiety. We examined whether asthma during pregnancy is related to parenting stress in the first year postpartum and if this relationship varies with level of asthma control.

The temperament features associated with autism spectrum disorder in childhood: A systematic review.

Background: Temperament is an important construct that shapes child development. Temperament is suggested to present differently in different groups, such as children with neurodevelopmental disorders. However, it is not known whether there are specific temperament features associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
