Objectives: To assess the association of early and late postpartum maternal mental health with infants' health related quality of life (HRQoL).
Methods: The study was embedded within the POST-UP trial (n = 1843). Infants' HRQoL was assessed with the Infant and Toddler Quality of Life Questionnaire Short Form-47 at ages 1 month (1 m), and 12 m.
Article Synopsis
- * The project consists of two components: validating assessment tools for early development and parenting, and conducting a longitudinal study to analyze the impact of various risk and protective factors on child development.
- * By addressing the lack of research on young children from marginalized Roma communities, RomaREACH hopes to provide evidence-based insights and validated tools that could inform policies to improve health and developmental outcomes in these communities.
Aims/background: Routine third-trimester ultrasonography is increasingly conducted to screen for foetal growth restriction (FGR) and reduce adverse perinatal and child neurodevelopmental outcomes using timely obstetric management. While it did not reduce adverse perinatal outcomes in previous trials, evidence regarding its association with child neurodevelopmental outcome is absent. We examined whether routine third-trimester ultrasonography is positively associated with child developmental and behavioural/emotional outcomes compared to usual care.

Its application, however, is often hampered by data fragmentation across organisations and strict regulation by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Federated learning (FL), as a decentralised approach to ML, has received considerable interest as a means to overcome the fragmentation of data, but it is yet unclear to which extent this approach complies with the GDPR.
