RE: child health & Cochrane

[Guest guest]

The Cochrane Child Health field is asking what you think are important issues in

child health for the Cochrane Library

i.e. Interventions for preventing or treating disease (this includes primary or

secondary prevention and rehabilitation).

They don't want you to think through a formal Cochrane topic - just what issues

you think are the most important in child health right now.

If you have any ideas let me know and I will pass them on.

Toity

Can I offer detection and treatment of 'failure to thrive' in infancy for

the Cochrane review ?

Best wishes

[Guest guest]

Dear Toity,

An area of prevention that has some (hard to access) evidence which I

would value including in the Cochrane review is the

avoidance/amelioration of foetal alcohol effects in infancy, i.e mild

learning disabilities, conduct disorder, hyperactivity, cleft lip and

palate, other facial dysmorphias. In the US the combination of crack

cocaine and alcohol in pregnancy is a particular additional

complication, with all the above problems plus in utero strokes and

more marked perinatal distress. Along with PKU, foetal alcohol effects

are potentially the key 'preventable' source of learning disabilities,

but no UK guidance is available except some old, worthless

blandishments from the defunct HEA. Because in the UK alcohol

consumption among women of childbearing age has increased

substantially in the last 10 - 20 years, it is timely to address the

potential effects of this (cf. steadily rising level of conduct

disorder or hyperactivity in the primary school population or Caan, W

'Children need protection but we should give them room to grow',

Nursing Standard 28/4/99, p.28).

Thanks,

Woody.

A very new organisation which may be of interest is the NCA [Nursing Council on

Alcohol] The steering committe is currently working on a constitution, and

the registration of the Council as a charity. Bridgit Dimond is the patron

The aim is to raise awarenes of alcohol related problems, at a UK level,

working along the well established lines of the Medical Council on Alcohol.

The Nov 2000 launch conference in Glasgow was very sucessful, covering issues

including:

Multicultural strategies for alcohol education

The importance of nurse screening & intervention

Children & young people living with parental alcohol abuse

Women, foetal alcohol syndrome & alcohol

A second conference is planned for Nov 2001

More information can be obtained from:

Off the top of my head I thought about nutrition and child behaviour. Fast

food, fat kids,(the fruit thing again remebering Aitcheson who said he

wanted to be remebered for introducing free fruit into school) child

behaviour and interaction problems with parents. Is this the sort of thing

you are looking for Toity.

Toity - Failure to thrive was a subject I had lined up for a 'Clinical

update' in Community Practitioner in the next few months. Perhaps I should

now wait - when is the C review likely to be out? June

[Guest guest]

I on;y received a group email asking about this, from one of the coordinators of

the Cochrane group. I think they are just wanting ideas.

One of the areas that I would consider important is chronic disease

management, in particular traditionally under-funded topics such as

childhood constipation and enuresis. I used bedwetting children as the

client group during my PhD and there were huge gaps in the literature with

most of our current understanding based on studies funded by the

pharmaceutical industry!

I can't imagine that it will be out for a long time hence since they atre only

just beginning to think about what might be best to concentrate on!
