Button battery exposure in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: There is a rising burden of severe and fatal outcomes resulting from button battery exposures (ingestions or insertions). We summarised current evidence following button battery exposures in children and provided pooled prevalence estimates for key clinical characteristics, complications and risk estimates for predictors.

Methods: MEDLINE, Embase and Scopus databases were searched up to 19 May 2023.

Complications of button battery ingestion or insertion in children: a systematic review and pooled analysis of individual patient-level data.

Background: Button battery (BB) exposures are common in children and can have devastating consequences. We reviewed current evidence on the complications associated with BB exposure and identified predictors of outcomes using individual patient-level data.

Data Sources: We carried out a systematic review and pooled analysis by searching MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus up to May 19, 2023.

Diagnostic tests for the prediction of histological chorioamnionitis and funisitis in pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of membranes: A systematic review.

Background: Infection of the amniotic cavity is an important driver and/or consequence of preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM). Prediction of infection is challenging, limiting guidance for interventions during the antenatal period. Infection typically triggers a host inflammatory response, and non-invasive indirect markers of the maternal or fetal inflammatory response have been reported in the context of PPROM and intra-amniotic infection.

Antibiotics, passive smoking, high socioeconomic status and sweetened foods contribute to the risk of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Objective: Genetic and environmental factors influence pathogenesis and rising incidence of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD). The aim was to meta-analyse evidence of diet and environmental factors in PIBD.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify diet and environmental factors with comparable risk outcome measures and had been reported in two or more PIBD studies for inclusion in meta-analyses.
