Transition from the neonatal unit to home: Parents' educational needs to promote their psychological well-being and sleep quality.

Purpose: Parents may experience altered psychological well-being and sleep following the discharge of their preterm infant. They also perceive a lack of information from healthcare professionals. This study aims to describe the educational needs of parents regarding their psychological well-being and their sleep quality following their infant's discharge from the neonatal unit.

Predicting major bleeding among hospitalized patients using oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation after discharge.

Aim: Real-world predictors of major bleeding (MB) have been well-studied among warfarin users, but not among all direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) users diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF). Thus, our goal was to build a predictive model of MB for new users of all oral anticoagulants (OAC) with AF.

Methods: We identified patients hospitalized for any cause and discharged alive in the community from 2011 to 2017 with a primary or secondary diagnosis of AF in Quebec's RAMQ and Med-Echo administrative databases.

Benefit-risk assessment of erenumab and current migraine prophylactic treatments using the likelihood of being helped or harmed.

Objective: This study evaluated the benefit-risk profile of erenumab relative to other therapies approved for migraine prophylaxis and available in the majority of European countries.

Methods: Trials were identified via a published systematic literature review updated to December 2017 using MEDLINE. Erenumab's pivotal trials study reports were also included (NCT02066415, NCT02456740).

Guidelines for the Institutional Implementation of Developmental Neuroprotective Care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Part A: Background and Rationale. A Joint Position Statement From the CANN, CAPWHN, NANN, and COINN.

The use of age-appropriate care as an organized framework for care delivery in the neonatal intensive care unit is founded on the work of Heidelise Als, PhD, and her synactive theory of development. This theoretical construct has recently been advanced by the work of Gibbins and colleagues with the "universe of developmental care" conceptual model and developmental care core measures which were endorsed by the National Association of Neonatal Nurses in their age-appropriate care of premature infant guidelines as best-practice standards for the provision of high-quality care in the neonatal intensive care unit. These guidelines were recently revised and expanded.

Establishment of the Relationship Between Fathers and Premature Infants in Neonatal Units.

Background: Parents and their preterm infants (born between 32-37 weeks of gestation) are often overlooked by the healthcare system. And very little attention is given to the relationship parents develop with their infants in the neonatal unit (NNU). Specifically, very few studies focused on fathers and how they establish a relationship with their infants.

Maltreatment suffered during childhood has long-term consequences which risk impacting on parenthood. Supporting victims of violence in childhood as they adapt to parenthood represents a challenge for health professionals working in perinatal services.

Biologics in the treatment of psoriasis: clinical and economic overview.

Background: The use of biologic medications for psoriasis is a recent therapeutic advance.

Objective: To review clinical and economic data for biologic therapies in the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis.

Methods: Published meta-analyses and additional literature review identified randomized controlled trials.

Maternal asthma, its control and severity in pregnancy, and the incidence of atopic dermatitis and allergic rhinitis in the offspring.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between maternal asthma, its level of control and severity during pregnancy, and atopic dermatitis (AD) and allergic rhinitis (AR) incidence in children.

Study Design: A cohort of 26 265 singletons born to mothers with and without asthma (1990-2002) was constituted by use of 3 Quebec databases. Mothers with asthma had to have received >or=1 diagnosis and >or=1 prescription for asthma 2 years before or during pregnancy.

Determinants of the incidence of childhood asthma: a two-stage case-control study.

Extensive literature exists on potential risk factors for childhood asthma. To the authors' knowledge, no investigators have yet attempted to disentangle the effects of those determinants within a single study setting. The authors aimed to evaluate the independent effects of 47 potential determinants (from the prenatal, perinatal, and childhood periods) of asthma development in children within the first 10 years of life.

Inhaled corticosteroids during pregnancy: a review of methodologic issues.

Background: There is evidence in the literature that inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are safe for pregnant women with asthma and their infants. Although this is useful information about ICS use during pregnancy, some articles must be viewed cautiously because of lack of power and adjustment for potentially important confounding variables.

Objective: To summarize evidence on the potential effects of ICSs to treat asthma in pregnant mothers and their children with particular focus on study power.

Use of short-acting beta2-agonists during pregnancy and the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Background: The effect of inhaled short-acting beta(2)-agonists (SABAs) on pregnancy outcome, especially hypertensive complications, is not well documented. After the finding of a possible protective association of inhaled SABAs with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) in a previous study, we decided to further investigate their effect on this condition.

Objective: We sought to determine the effect of inhaled SABA use during pregnancy on the risk of PIH (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, or eclampsia) in asthmatic women.

Evaluation of a developmental care training programme for neonatal nurses.

Although the impact of developmental care on premature infants has been investigated at length, often the issue of professional development and training related to this type of care has not been examined. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of a developmental care training programme on nurses' behaviours and cognitive attributes with regard to the prevention of overstimulation of premature infants. The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) was the framework underlying the study.

Use of inhaled corticosteroids during pregnancy and risk of pregnancy induced hypertension: nested case-control study.

Objective: To determine whether the use of inhaled corticosteroids during pregnancy increases the risk of pregnancy induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia among asthmatic women.

Design: Nested case-control study.

Setting: Three administrative health databases from Quebec: RAMQ, MED-ECHO, and Fichier des evenements demographiques.
