Talking to adolescents about sex can be difficult for health professionals - they may not know how to begin the conversation, may feel embarrassed or ill-prepared, may feel they do not have enough time or it is not relevant to their consultation
We performed regression analyses and considered P-values < 0.05 as statistically significant. Both the mean Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) score measured with the Health Utilities Index (HUI) (MAU-score at 19yrs=0.89 (MI:0.83) versus 0.88 (MI:0.85) at 28yrs) and London Handicap Scale (LHS) (overall score 19yrs=96.5 (MI:93.9) versus 95.9 (MI:94.6) at 28yrs) did not change significantly
Overall, HRQoL of these Dutch adults born very preterm or Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) was similar to HRQoL at 19yrs, using two HRQoL measures
Summary
Background and Aims When evaluating the impact of Very Preterm Birth (VPB) and/or Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW), it is important to explore Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). Results Both the mean HRQoL score measured with the HUI (MAU-score at 19yrs=0.89 (MI:0.83) versus 0.88 (MI:0.85) at 28yrs) and LHS (overall score 19yrs=96.5 (MI:93.9) versus 95.9 (MI:94.6) at 28yrs) did not change significantly. Conclusions Overall, HRQoL of these Dutch adults born very preterm or VLBW was similar to HRQoL at 19yrs, using two HRQoL measures. This suggests that HRQoL remains stable from 19yrs onwards. The aim of this study is to describe the main characteristics of suicidal poisoning in Mali. Most victims are teenagers and young adults aged 15–24 years (62.2%) For this age bracket, the number of suicide attempts is 7.7 times higher than that for successful suicide. Conclusions During their hospitalization, suicide attempters should receive careful medical and psychiatric supervision to avoid the risk of recurrence
