摘要:

AbstractThis study compared the prevalence of emotional and behavioural problems experienced by 10‐11 year old and 14‐15 year old children living in single‐parent and two‐parent families in South Australia. The 10‐11 year old male children living in single‐parent families were found to have significantly more emotional and behavioural problems than 10‐11 year old male children living in two‐parent families. In particular, the younger male children living in single‐parent families experienced more externalizing behaviour problems than younger male children living in two‐parent families. It is suggested that paediatricians and general practitioners need to be aware of children who are at particular risk for developing emotional and behavioural problems, and the approaches which may be emplo

摘要:

AbstractData on the incidence of congenital heart defects (CHD) in the first year of life were collected on a cohort of infants born between 1981 and 1984 in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. There was a total of 1479 cases among 343521 births, an incidence of 4.3 per 1000 livebirths. The following results were obtained after restricting the analysis to cases diagnosed definitively by echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, operation or autopsy. A significant association was found between older maternal age and having an infant with CHD, both before (RR = 1.27, CI = 1.13,1.44) and after (RR = 1.17, CI = 1.02, 1.33) excluding chromosomally related cases. Significant associations were found between having an infant with ventricular septal defect and Italian parentage (RR = 2.50, CI = 1.11, 5.65), and for having an infant with coarctation of the aorta and Lebanese parentage (RR = 3.82, CI = 1.71, 8.52). The incidence of CHD in this Australian population is similar to overseas studies that used comparable diagnostic criteria and ascertainment. An active surveillance system for CHD is recommended as is further investigation of the factors associated with having an infant with CHD.

摘要:

AbstractA case of pneumomediastinum that developed in a 10 year old girl receiving induction chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is reported. Three factors were identified that may have been associated with this complication: the patient suffered recurrent vomiting during her induction chemotherapy; she had travelled by air the day before the pneumo mediastinum was diagnosed; and was septic withEnferobacterat time of diagnosis. The pneumomediastinum resolved over 2 weeks without specific treatment and without further complications.

摘要:

AbstractThis study compared the psychological adjustment of parents and families of children with cancer, with the adjustment of parents and families in the community. In the weeks after their children's diagnoses, the mothers of children with cancer reported significantly more anxiety and insomnia, somatic symptoms and social dysfunction than mothers in the community. These problems had declined by the time of a 1 year follow‐up assessment However, at the follow‐up assessment the mothers of children with cancer reported significantly more symptoms of depression and somatic symptoms than mothers in the community. A similar pattern of findings was evident among the fathers although the fathers generally reported less distress than was reported by the mothers. The results also suggest that a year after the children's diagnoses, the families in which there was a child with cancer were functioning less effectively than the families in the commun

摘要:

AbstractTwo hundred and seven Australian paediatricians were sent a questionnaire to determine whether they undertook developmental screening and/or assessment. Replies were received from 140(68%) paediatricians of whom 115 (82%) stated they did developmental screening and 58 (41%) said they did developmental assessment The Denver Developmental Screening Test was the most widely used (74%), but several other tests were used, not all correctly. There was greater confusion in the area of developmental assessment and appropriate tests, although 37 (26%) used the Griffiths.The results are described in detail and some of the current concerns about developmental screening and assessment are discussed.

摘要:

AbstractA review was carried out to establish the value of chromosome testing in children with significant developmental delay, where the aetiology was not evident clinically. During 1990, 315 children had been assessed at a child development clinic and found to be significantly delayed in one or more areas of development; in 256, the aetiology was not evident clinically. Chromosome testing of these children revealed an abnormality in 10 (3.9%). Thirty children had dysmorphic features; six (20%) of these had an abnormal karyotype. Four (2%) of the 226 who had no dysmorphic features had a chromosome abnormality. One hundred and fifty‐five children had intellectual disability; eight (5%) of these had an abnormal karyotype. Two (2%) of 101 who had a specific delay in their development had a chromosome abnormality. The advantages of chromosome testing in children with developmental delay in whom the aetiology is not evident clinically are discusse
