Data linkage is the bringing together of specific datasets from different sources using demographic information on individuals within a population.
The neonatal skin is central to early survival and immune development. Far from being a passive mechanical barrier, it integrates physical, chemical, and microbial defences that together protect the infant in the immediate postnatal period. In preterm infants, structural immaturity, reduced antimicrobial capacity, and altered microbial colonisation confer heightened vulnerability to infection and inflammation.
This study used densitometry to investigate the areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) in an Australian Rett syndrome cohort...
Variation over time in medical conditions and health service utilization of children with Down syndrome.
Scoliosis is a common clinical manifestation of Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder that almost exclusively affects girls.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are commonly prescribed to manage anxiety in adults with an autism diagnosis. However, their effectiveness and adverse effect profile in the autistic population are not well known. This trial aims to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the SSRI sertraline in reducing symptoms of anxiety and improving quality of life in adults with a diagnosis of autism compared with placebo and to quantify any adverse effects.
The prevalence of intellectual disability has risen in WA over the last 10 years with most of this increase due to mild or moderate intellectual disability
Mothers of children with intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have poorer health than other mothers.
ID and/or ASD were found to be associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation compared with the remainder of the population.
We are looking for Aboriginal parents who are passionate about lung health to join the Aboriginal Advisory Committee (AAC) for our Kids Easy Breathing Study (KEBS). Research shows 1 in 5 Aboriginal* bubs in hospital for bronchiolitis (a common viral chest infection) later had serious damage to their lungs. The aim of our study is to find out why Aboriginal bubbies are more likely to develop long-term lung sickness.
