Prevalence of vascular disruption anomalies and association with young maternal age: A EUROCAT study to compare the United Kingdom with other European countries

Joan K. Morris et al.

Summary: Younger mothers in the UK have a higher risk of gastroschisis compared to other European countries. The prevalence of gastroschisis and congenital constriction bands is significantly higher in the UK, even after adjusting for maternal age. However, the prevalence of transverse limb reduction defects is similar between the UK and other countries.

Temporal and geographical variations in survival of children born with congenital anomalies in Europe: A multi-registry cohort study

Michele Santoro et al.

Summary: This study investigates the temporal and geographical changes in survival rates of children with major congenital anomalies (CA) in different European areas. The results show that the risk of death for children born with major CA decreased between 2005 and 2014 compared to those born between 1995 and 2004.

Hospital length of stay among children with and without congenital anomalies across 11 European regions-A population-based data linkage study

Stine Kjaer Urhoj et al.

Summary: Children with congenital anomalies have a higher risk of hospitalization and longer length of stay. However, the outlook improves after the first year. It is important to provide support and assistance to the parents of children with congenital anomalies, informing them about the necessary care and the impact on family life and siblings.

Review Anesthesiology

A decade later, there are still major issues to be addressed in paediatric anaesthesia

Walid Habre et al.

Summary: Despite advances in pediatric anesthesia management, questions remain unanswered in the field, such as standardization and harmonization of airway management, analgesia techniques, and outcome measures. Recent improvements include the use of videolaryngoscopes and nasal oxygenation, but challenges remain with the generalization of dexmedetomidine and lack of evidence for the efficacy of many clinical techniques. Researchers are shifting focus from neurotoxicity of anesthetic agents to factors related to anesthesia conduct, advocating for evidence-based findings to be included in routine clinical practice for improved management.

EUROlinkCAT protocol for a European population-based data linkage study investigating the survival, morbidity and education of children with congenital anomalies

Joan K. Morris et al.

Summary: The EUROlinkCAT study investigates the health and educational outcomes of children with congenital anomalies in their first 10 years of life, using a European network of registries to link data and perform meta-analyses. The study aims to provide evidence to improve healthcare and reduce health inequalities in Europe.

Prevalence of traumatic psychological stress reactions in children and parents following paediatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

David Paul Turgoose et al.

Summary: The prevalence of post-traumatic stress reactions in children and parents after pediatric surgery is higher than in the general population, with risk factors including length of stay, level of social support, and parental mental health. Further investigation and awareness of this issue is warranted to offer screening and support to those affected.
