Spotlight on tobacco guidance: NICE public health guidance update

Ana-Catarina Pinho-Gomes et al.

Summary: The updated NICE guidelines on tobacco recommend cost-effective interventions to prevent smoking initiation and promote smoking cessation. E-cigarettes are a cost-effective tool for smoking cessation in adults, but their long-term effects are still unknown. Efforts from healthcare and public health providers are needed to address inequalities in smoking prevalence and associated ill health in England.

What is the relationship between deprivation, modifiable factors and childhood deaths: a cohort study using the English National Child MortalityDatabase

David Odd et al.

Summary: The aim of this analysis is to identify the patterns of social deprivation and childhood mortality, and to determine the most effective public health, social, and education interventions or health policies to address these issues. The study found that there is an increasing risk of death with increasing levels of deprivation. The gradient of risk is stronger in cases where modifiable factors are present. Adult employment and housing improvements may be the most efficient areas to allocate resources in order to reduce these inequalities.

A Comprehensive Review on Social Inequalities and Pregnancy Outcome-Identification of Relevant Pathways and Mechanisms

Valentin Simoncic et al.

Summary: Scientific literature supports the idea that the health of fetuses and newborns can be influenced by maternal, parental, and contextual characteristics. Social determinants, measured at individual and/or aggregated level(s), play a crucial role in fetal and newborn health. Adverse birth outcomes can lead to health inequity and affect an individual's social position. Interventions targeting unhealthy behaviors and psychosocial conditions in early pregnancy are important in addressing inequalities and disparities observed at birth.

Fetal growth restriction, low birth weight, and preterm birth: Effects of active or passive smoking evaluated by maternal expired CO at delivery, impacts of cessation at different trimesters

Conchita Delcroix-Gomez et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of smoking cessation during different trimesters of pregnancy on the risk of reduced birth weight and prematurity, as well as the effects of passive smoking. The results showed that quitting smoking in the first and second trimesters can reduce the risk of intrauterine growth restriction and low birth weight. Active smoking and passive smoking both have deleterious effects on fetal development, with passive smoking having an intermediate impact between active smoking and non-smoking.

Dionne Gootjes et al.

Summary: The study found an association between neighbourhood deprivation and fetal growth in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, but not with first trimester growth. Less neighbourhood deprivation is associated with lower odds of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
