Prognostic factors for successful extubation in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia by A. Rannebro, C. Mesas-Burgos, C. Mesas-Burgos, U. Fläring, U. Fläring, S. Eksborg, S. Eksborg, J. Berner, J. Berner

“…Patient demographics, surgical repair with patch, oxygenation saturation index (OSI), rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), ventilatory settings, fluid balance and sedation on the day of extubation were recorded.ResultsPatients in the failed extubation group (FE) had lower birth weight (p < 0.05), surgical patch repair (p < 0.05), longer length of stay in intensive care (p < 0.05), longer time on the ventilator (p < 0.05) and other comorbidities (p < 0.001). Using logistic regression we identified OSI, RSBI and inspiratory pressure (Pinsp) as factors predicting a successful extubation, AUCROC 0.95 (95% CI: 0.87 to 1.00). …”

Associations between caregivers’ health behaviours and overweight/obesity among children aged 2–6 years in Beijing, China: a cross-sectional study by Yan Hu, Juan Du, Wenjing Ji, Xueling Li, Aimin Liang, Xiwei Xu

“…The caregivers’ exercise health behaviours and dietary health behaviours were assessed using a questionnaire, encompassing the frequency of exercise and the duration of each exercise session, as well as the frequency of consumption of desserts, late-night snacks, and fast food, regular eating habits, and the proportion of meat and vegetables consumed daily. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify relationships between caregivers’ health-related behaviours and overweight/obesity in children.Results Having caregivers who exercised ≥3 times/week (OR 0.643, 95% CI 0.417 to 0.990) was a protective factor against childhood overweight/obesity compared with having caregivers who exercised <1 time/week; caregivers’ frequent encouragement of children’s participation in physical activity was also a protective factor (OR 0.513, 95% CI 0.352 to 0.749). …”
