Increased temperatures and child health outcomes: a systematic review

Abstract Background Increased ambient temperatures and extreme heat events are well-established risk factors for increased mortality and morbidity. Most studies to-date have focused on the effect of high temperature on adult populations. However, the paediatric population is vulnerable to increased temperatures, due to a combination of physiological and social vulnerabilities characteristic of children. This presentation will present the findings of a systematic review and meta-analysis on increased heat and childhood health risks. Methods A literature search was carried out of three scientific databases: Pubmed, Embase, and SCOPUS. The data was pooled and summarised in statistical meta-analysis, and presented as relative risk (RR) scores. Subgroup analyses by disease category, gender, and climate group were carried out. Studies not meeting criteria for statistical meta-analysis were summarised in narrative review. Results There is evidence that increased heat increases all-cause mortality in the paediatric population. Increased heat is a risk factor for morbidity throughout the childhood years, from increased rates of preterm birth, to increased adolescent mental health presentations. There is evidence that heat increases the risk of SIDS, respiratory, heat illness, renal disease, mental health, and infectious diseases in children. The majority of studies which quantified the relationship between increased heat and illness do not separate children from adults in statistical analyses. Conclusions There is a substantial body of evidence demonstrating that children have higher rates of morbidity and mortality as a result of higher than usual temperatures. Further research is required into the effects of global warming on child health, and more research is needed to establish protective factors. Researchers in environmental health should consider sub-group analyses on children to identify risks particular to this vulnerable population Key messages • Children are at increased risks of multiple diseases in hot temperatures or heatwaves. • More research is needed into the unique impact of climate change on children.

Risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Among Siblings of Children Who Died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in Denmark

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) remains a leading cause of death during the first year of life. The etiology of SIDS is complex and remains largely unknown. To evaluate whether siblings of children who died of SIDS have a higher risk of SIDS compared with the general pediatric population. This register-based cohort study used Danish nationwide registers. Participants were all infants (<1 year) in Denmark between January 1, 1978, and December 31, 2016, including siblings of children who died of SIDS. Siblings were followed up from the index cases' date of SIDS, date of birth, or immigration, whichever came first, and until age 1 year, emigration, developing SIDS, death, or study end. The median (IQR) follow-up was 1 (1-1) year. Data analysis was conducted from January 2017 to October 2022. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of SIDS were calculated with Poisson regression models relative to the general population. In a population of 2 666 834 consecutive births (1 395 199 [52%] male), 1540 infants died of SIDS (median [IQR] age at SIDS, 3 [2-4] months) during a 39-year study period. A total of 2384 younger siblings (cases) to index cases (first sibling with SIDS) were identified. A higher rate of SIDS was observed among siblings compared with the general population, with SIRs of 4.27 (95% CI, 2.13-8.53) after adjustment for sex, age, and calendar year and of 3.50 (95% CI, 1.75-7.01) after further adjustment for mother's age (<29 years vs ≥29 years) and education (high school vs after high school). In this nationwide study, having a sibling who died of SIDS was associated with a 4-fold higher risk of SIDS compared with the general population. Shared genetic and/or environmental factors may contribute to the observed clustering of SIDS. The family history of SIDS should be considered when assessing SIDS risk in clinical settings. A multidisciplinary genetic evaluation of families with SIDS could provide additional evidence.

Mothers Knowledge Toward Correct Infant Sleep Practices and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome In Al-Najaf Provence

Objective: "The current study aims to assess the proportion of newborns that sleep well and investigates the awareness and comprehension of SIDS and its associated risk factors among mothers of infants in Al Najaf Provence". Methodology: In order to accomplish the study's goals, a descriptive cross-sectional study was used throughout. The study took place between November 2021 and February 2022. a Non-Probability (Purposive Sample) of 100 moms who arrived with infants (under 1 year old) at the Hospital for Maternity and Children and the primary healthcare facilities in Al-Najaf Provence. Results: The study's findings revealed that (49%) of newborns were found to be sleeping on their sides, (37%) were found to be dozing off, and (14%) were found to be sleeping on their prone backs. Participants as a whole (60%) stated that (40%) child doctors were the main information source they used to learn about SIDS. Conclusion: In our study, women had limited understanding about sudden infant death syndrome, and a substantial percentage of them were unaware that smoking exposure during pregnancy and after delivery had been linked to an elevated risk of SIDS. In our study, a large percentage of moms were unaware that giving their babies pacifiers while they slept reduced the risk of SIDS. Keywords: knowledge, mother, sudden infant death syndrome.

Improving Awareness of Safe Sleeping Practices for Babies on a Mother and Baby Psychiatric Unit

IntroductionSIDS is the sudden, unexpected and unexplained death of a baby. Safe sleeping practices can help to reduce a baby’s risk of SIDS. At the Coombe Wood Mother &amp; Baby Unit (MBU), it was found that many patients were opting to co-sleep with their babies which contradicts safe sleeping guidelines.ObjectivesTo improve patient awareness of the condition SIDS and to implement an interactive training session improving awareness of safe sleeping practices for babies. To improve patients’ confidence in implementing safe sleeping practices for their babies; thus reducing the risk of SIDS occurring.MethodsThe Lullaby Trust™ is a charity that raises awareness of SIDS and provides expert advice on safe sleep for babies. An interactive training session for patients was organised by incorporating published materials from The Lullaby Trust™, facilitated by medical and occupational therapy staff on the MBU. The participants filled out a pre-training and post-training questionnaire to test the effectiveness and quality of the training session.ResultsThe participants’ average level of confidence in knowing and applying safe sleeping practices for their babies doubled following the training session (from 2.3→4.8 and 2.6→5 respectively, with 5 meaning “Very Confident.”) The average level of knowledge of SIDS also increased from 1.6→4.4 (with 5 meaning “A Lot” of Knowledge.)ConclusionsWe were surprised at the low level of knowledge and confidence the patients had regarding safe sleeping practices for their babies. This project shows how interactive, ward-based training can be an effective way to engage and stimulate patients into improving the safety of their baby care.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Analysis of infant mortality caused by sudden infant death syndrome in the Russian Federation

Abstract Background Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is one of the leading causes of infant death and it caused the death of 40 thousand babies around the world in 2017. In the Russian Federation, there are no large and long-term studies of the epidemiology of SIDS. Methods A descriptive study of infant mortality associated with SIDS in the regions of the Russian Federation in 2019 according to the Federal State Statistics Service. Results In 2019, SIDS caused the death of 259 children and ranked 7th in the structure of infant mortality. The infant mortality rate due to SIDS was 0.17 per 1000 live births (median for the regions of the Russian Federation - 0.13, IR 0.0 - 0.27). The infant mortality rate due to SIDS among the rural population was 0.27 per 1000 live birth in the relevant area, among the urban population - 0.14, among boys - 0.20, among girls - 0.15 per 1000 live birth of the corresponding sex. From 2008 to 2019, the indicator in the Russian Federation decreased by 56% (in 2008 - 0.39 per 1000 live birth). The highest infant mortality rate due to SIDS in 2019 was recorded in the Far Eastern Federal District (0.31 per 1000 live births), the lowest was in the Central FD (0.10). SIDS was not recorded in 28 constituent entities, in 4 of them there was not a single case for the period from 2013 to 2019. In 21 regions, the infant mortality rate was higher than 0.27 per 1000 per live birth. The relative risk of SIDS was quite variable across the regions of the Russian Federation. Conclusions The analysis revealed the scatter of the infant mortality rate due to SIDS among the regions of the Russian Federation. It is necessary to study the problem of SIDS at the state level to explain the results. Key messages The development and implementation of programs for the prevention of SIDS should be based on the study of the epidemiology of this pathology in each region separately and in the country as a whole. Significant differences in the infant mortality rate due to SIDS among the regions of Russian Federation require detailed study.

AWARENESS OF MOTHER WITH BABY PACIFIER

Introduction: Pacifiers consist of a latex or silicone nipple with a firm plastic shield and handle and are available in different forms and sizes. This is used in infant for colling and calming effect on infant however, it is related to many disadvantage and side effect on teeth of the infants. In this study we aimed to a Assess the interrelation between different on-nutritive sucking habits, pacifier use and thumb/digit sucking. Besides, Investigate the relationships between various non-nutritive sucking habits and occlusion in the primary dentition. Methodology: Following a comprehensive literature review, the questionnaire was designed and used for data collection. Then, a cross‐sectional survey was distributed throughout the internet for two months (October - November 2019) to 200 mothers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The mothers answered 16 questions, where 5 of them were self-administered, while the others followed the pacifier and their effect on Breastfeeding and teeth. Initially, the participants have answered inquiries about the demographic information. Results: The results of our study include 202 mothers in which 55.9 % were between 18 -30 years old while 88.6 % of married while 6.4 % were widowed and the rest were divorced. Moreover, 67.3 % of mothers in this study started breast feeding but stopped it, while 15.3 % still breast feeding partially, 12.9 % still breasting feeding exclusively and 4.5 % never breast fed during the process of the survey. 58.9 % of mothers agree about the use of pacifier with their infants where younger mothers were more intended to agree about using of pacifier. Considering the reason behind using of pacifier, mothers reported that 74.3 % of mothers using pacifier because of its comfort or soothing effect. Moreover, 47.1 % of the sample thought that best time to start using pacifiers is from first week of birth and 49 % of mothers in this study thought that pacifier should be used for 4 hours per day. Finally, most of mother thought that the ideal time of pacifier cessation before the first year (45%). Conclusion: As with all infant care practices, there may be multiple factors influencing the parental decision to use or not use a pacifier for the infant. Some of these factors (e.g., concerns about nipple confusion, dental concerns) may be the result of misinformation. As pacifier use has been associated with a reduced risk for SIDS, it is important for health care providers to understand and be able to address the concerns that parents may have about pacifier use. In the hospital setting, providers should be aware that parents may have strong preferences about getting educated regarding pacifier use and its consequences.
