Aim: To describe the concept of preterm birth in the history of medicine in France, from the 17th century up until the end of the 20th century, on the basis of old medical textbooks.
Methods: Historical manuscripts and books held in medical libraries and from our personal collection were examined. Digital copies of medical textbooks online were also studied.
Article Synopsis
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a key cause of respiratory infections in infants, prompting a study in France on parental awareness and attitudes toward a new monoclonal antibody (mAb) immunization to help protect infants from RSV.
- * Conducted in 2021, the survey involved parents of children under 24 months, revealing high immunization rates due to a desire to protect children and follow mandatory guidelines, although safety concerns were present.
- * Results indicated that most parents were unaware of RSV and mAbs, but upon learning, they showed positive attitudes towards nirsevimab if recommended by healthcare professionals, with significant uptake rates (60%-80%) after its introduction in September 2023.
Aim: This study compared neurodevelopmental screening questionnaires completed when preterm-born children reached 2 years of corrected age with social communication skills at 5.5 years of age.
Methods: Eligible subjects were born in 2011 at 24-34 weeks of gestation, participated in a French population-based epidemiological study and were free of motor and sensory impairment at 2 years of corrected age.
Objective: To report neurodevelopment at age 5.5 years according to developmental delay screening with the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) in late infancy in preterm-born children.
Design: Population-based cohort study, EPIPAGE-2.
