Risk for Complicated Immigration Transition: New Diagnosis for NANDA-International.

Objective: The objective of this article is to describe the developmental processes for the creation of the new diagnosis risk for complicated immigration transition for the NANDA-I.

Methods: The study followed the recommended steps of developmental processes for NANDA-I. The identification of risk factors,which cause those who have migrated to feel vulnerable, is the result of two different research studies aimed at identifying nursing diagnosis related to the immigration process.

Longitudinal assessment of lung function in extremely prematurely born children.

Objectives: To assess longitudinally small airway function in children born extremely prematurely and whether there was a correlation between airway function in infancy and at 11-14 years.

Working Hypotheses: There would be tracking of airways obstruction and small airway function would deteriorate during childhood in those born extremely prematurely.

Study Design: A longitudinal study.

Viral lower respiratory tract infections and preterm infants' healthcare utilisation.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to determine whether respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and other viral lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in prematurely born infants were associated with similar effects on healthcare utilisation and related cost of care in the second compared to the first year after birth. Thirteen infants who had RSV LRTIs (RSV), 21 who had other viral LRTIs (other viral) and 25 had no viral LRTIs (no LRTI) were prospectively followed. Nasopharyngeal aspirates were collected whenever an infant had an LRTI regardless of whether it was in the hospital or in the community.

United Kingdom Oscillation Study: long-term outcomes of a randomised trial of two modes of neonatal ventilation.

Background: One in 200 infants in the UK is born extremely prematurely, i.e. before 29 weeks of gestation.

Late outcomes of a randomized trial of high-frequency oscillation in neonates.

Background: Results from an observational study involving neonates suggested that high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), as compared with conventional ventilation, was associated with superior small-airway function at follow-up. Data from randomized trials are needed to confirm this finding.

Methods: We studied 319 adolescents who had been born before 29 weeks of gestation and had been enrolled in a multicenter, randomized trial that compared HFOV with conventional ventilation immediately after birth.

Rhinovirus infection and healthcare utilisation in prematurely born infants.

Our aim was to determine whether rhinovirus (RV) lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in prematurely born infants increase health-related cost of care during infancy. 153 infants born at <36 weeks of gestation were prospectively followed to 1 year. Cost of care was calculated from the National Health Service reference costing scheme and healthcare utilisation determined by examining hospital/general practitioner records.

RSV hospitalisation and healthcare utilisation in moderately prematurely born infants.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is associated with chronic respiratory morbidity in infants born very prematurely. Our aims were to determine if infants born moderately prematurely (32--35 weeks of gestation) who had had an RSV hospitalisation, compared to those who had not, had greater healthcare utilisation and related cost of care in the first 2 years. Two thousand and sixty-six eligible infants' records were examined to identify three groups: 20 infants admitted for an RSV lower respiratory tract infection (RSV), 30 admitted for another respiratory problem (other respiratory) and 108 admitted for a nonrespiratory problem/never admitted (non-respiratory).
