Background: The importance of supporting pregnancy-related decisions in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients has increasingly been recognized and hence the need for prospective data on pregnancy and pediatric outcomes in this patient population.
Objective: To assess prospective growth and developmental outcomes of infants born to mothers with multiple sclerosis (IMS).
Methods: PREG-MS is a prospective multicenter cohort study in New England, United States.
Background: Food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) is an early and common manifestation of food allergy, yet its epidemiology and relationship to other allergic diseases remain unclear.
Objective: To prospectively define the incidence of FPIAP as it is being diagnosed clinically in the community and to identify factors associated with its development.
Methods: A total of 1003 of 1162 eligible serial healthy newborn infants recruited from a single suburban pediatrics practice were followed prospectively for the diagnosis of FPIAP.
