Early life growth and developmental trajectory in children with biliary atresia undergoing primary liver transplantation.

Objective: To clarify the early growth and developmental characteristics of children with biliary atresia (BA) undergoing primary liver transplantation (pLT).

Methods: A prospective cohort study, which specifically focused on BA-pLT children, was conducted after the diagnosis of BA by following the children at the time of pLT and 1, 3, 5, 7 months and 1 year after pLT for growth and developmental monitoring. The growth parameters were calculated according to the WHO standard, and the developmental status was assessed using Denver Developmental Screening Tests.

Changes in risk factors for food sensitization in early life: Analysis over a period of 10 years.

Background: Although epidemiological trends of childhood food sensitization (FS) in IgE-mediated food allergy were reported in China, few studies have examined at changes in its risk factors.

Objective: To investigate the change in early-life risk factors associated with childhood food sensitization during 2009-2019 in China.

Methods: Data from two cross-sectional surveys conducted in 2009 and 2019 (401 and 513 children, respectively) were analyzed.

Trends in the contributions of atopic family history to pediatric food sensitization and allergy.

Objective: Family history of atopic diseases (FHA) contributes to food allergy (FA). But little is known whether FHA primarily increases IgE-mediated, non-IgE-mediated FA, or both. And the trends in the contributions of FHA to food sensitization (FS) and FA remain unclear.

Comparison of the Differences Between Web-Based and Traditional Questionnaire Surveys in Pediatrics: Comparative Survey Study.

Background: A web-based survey is a novel method for data capture. Some studies have applied web-based surveys in pediatrics, but few of them have reported data on the differences between web-based and traditional questionnaire surveys.

Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate the internal consistency of a web-based survey and compare it with a traditional questionnaire survey in pediatrics.

Time trends of childhood food allergy in China: Three cross-sectional surveys in 1999, 2009, and 2019.

Background: Many countries have recorded the trends of food allergy (FA) prevalence. Little is known about epidemiologic trends of childhood FA in China.

Methods: In three cross-sectional surveys conducted in 1999, 2009, and 2019, the prevalence of and characteristic changes in FA in children aged ≤ 2 years were assessed and the outcomes were compared.
