Pneumococcal susceptibility to antibiotics in carriage: a 17 year time series analysis of the adaptive evolution of non-vaccine emerging serotypes to a new selective pressure environment.

Background: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) implementations led to major changes in serotype distribution and antibiotic resistance in carriage, accompanied by changes in antibiotic consumption.

Objectives: To assess the dynamic patterns of antimicrobial non-susceptibility across non-PCV13 serotypes following PCV implementations.

Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental interrupted time series analysis based on a 17 year French nationwide prospective cohort.

[Hospital practices and breastfeeding cessation risk within 6 months of delivery].

Background: The impact of maternity ward practices on breastfeeding duration remains uncertain in France.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether compliance with an increasing number of Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative recommended practices was associated with a decreasing risk for breastfeeding cessation within 6 months of delivery.

Methods: We analyzed the original data from a prospective cohort study carried out in eight maternity centers in France in 2005-2006.

Breastfeeding Assessment Score: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: Previous studies have revealed conflicting results for the Breastfeeding Assessment Score (BAS) in predicting early breastfeeding cessation. Our objective was to externally validate the BAS and provide summary accuracy estimates for this clinical prediction model.

Methods: We used the original data from a prospective cohort study.

Determinants of 6-month maternal satisfaction with breastfeeding experience in a multicenter prospective cohort study.

Although a personally defined experience, successful breastfeeding is usually measured with regard to duration. This study investigated the determinants of maternal satisfaction with breastfeeding experience for 907 mothers enrolled in a prospective cohort study. Despite a median breastfeeding duration (18 weeks) that fell short of recommendations, 822 mothers (90.

CD-ROM-based program for breastfeeding mothers.

The vast majority of breastfeeding mothers in Western countries have routine access to multimedia and Internet resources at home. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a CD-ROM-based intervention in increasing the rates of breastfeeding. We conducted a pre- and post-intervention study involving four control and four intervention maternity units in France.
