Article Synopsis
  • Previous research on maternal diets and their impact on birth weight is limited, especially in non-Western populations like China, leading to the aim of this study to investigate the relationship.
  • The study involved 4,184 mother-child pairs and employed a comprehensive food frequency questionnaire to identify three main dietary patterns: plant-based, animal-based, and processed foods, which explained a significant portion of dietary variance.
  • Results indicated that higher adherence to a plant-based diet was linked to an increased risk of macrosomia (large birth weight), particularly due to potato consumption, while animal-based and processed diets showed no significant effects on birth weight outcomes.

Delirium is a common postoperative complication in children with congenital heart disease, which affects their postoperative recovery. The purpose of this study is to explore the risk factors of delirium and construct a nomogram model to provide novel references for the prevention and management of postoperative delirium in children with congenital heart disease. 470 children after congenital heart surgery treated in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) of Shanghai Children's Medical Center were divided into a model and a validation cohort according to the principle of 7:3 distribution temporally.

Background: Delirium often occurs in children with congenital heart disease in the early postoperative period, which is not conducive to the rehabilitation and prognosis. There is little evidence to prove the effectiveness and safety of drug treatment of delirium in children, and the prevention has become an important topic. The purpose of this study is to analyze the early risk factors of delirium in children after congenital heart surgery, establish a nomogram prediction model, and explore the application efficiency of the model, so as to provide reference for early prevention of delirium.
