The Model of Care supports the health of women and their babies with cardiometabolic complications of pregnancy and aids in the prevention and management of cardiometabolic disease in the short and long-term. It was co-designed by Aboriginal women with lived experiences of cardiometabolic complications in pregnancy.
Aboriginal children are faced with significant impediments to their chances of a healthy life even before they are born.
Environmental factors including household crowding and inadequate washing facilities underpin recurrent streptococcal infections in childhood that cause acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and subsequent rheumatic heart disease (RHD).
Five years of intensive collaboration between researchers, clinicians, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations, and government and non-government organisations have finally put the long-fought for goal of ending RHD within reach.
Perth investigators involved in a major global trial have launched an innovative Cultural Information Hub to maximise cultural safety for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander patients participating in research.
The long-term cardiopulmonary outcomes following preterm birth during the surfactant era remain unclear. Respiratory symptoms, particularly exertional symptoms, are common in preterm children. Therefore, cardiopulmonary exercise testing may provide insights into the pathophysiology driving exertional respiratory symptoms in those born preterm. This review aims to outline the current knowledge of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the assessment of children born preterm in the surfactant era.
Background: Signs of clinical deterioration may appear differently in children with dark-coloured skin. How to assess children in this cohort is currently poorly defined. Aim: To explore available information on the assessment of clinical deterioration in children with dark-coloured skin and identify research deficits.
