Neurological outcomes and mortality after neonatal seizures with electroencephalographical verification. A systematic review.

Aim: To conduct a systematic review of post-neonatal neurological outcomes and mortality following neonatal seizures with electroencephalographical verification.

Methods: The databases Medline, Embase and Web of Science were searched for eligible studies. All abstracts were screened in a blinded fashion between research team members and reports found eligible were obtained and screened in full text by two members each.

Validation of central nervous system-induced seizures and other neurological variables in the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register.

Aim: We sought to validate neurological variables and relevant International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes in the Swedish Neonatal Quality (SNQ) Register.

Methods: Register data were collected for 351 neonates, born between January 2009 and December 2016, who were treated at a neonatal unit in the Stockholm region on 385 occasions. They were eligible if the check-box for central nervous system (CNS)-induced seizures was ticked.

Herpesvirus infections and allergic sensitization in children of families with anthroposophic and non-anthroposophic lifestyle - the ALADDIN birth cohort.

Background: Growing up in families with an anthroposophic lifestyle has been associated with reduced risk of allergic disease in children. The aim of this report was to assess whether children with this lifestyle are infected earlier with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which has been associated with reduced risk of allergic disease, and three other herpesviruses potentially involved in allergy development, namely Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6), Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV7) and cytomegalovirus (CMV).

Methods: Within the ALADDIN (Assessment of Lifestyle and Allergic Disease During Infancy), birth cohort study 157 children were categorized according to lifestyle into anthroposophic and non-anthroposophic.
