Abstract

Background: In‐hospital exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is associated with longer breastfeeding durations, yet only 64% of US newborns are EBF for 7 days. The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding (Ten Steps) are a set of evidenced‐based maternity practices shown to improve breastfeeding outcomes; these were updated in 2018. Methods: Using hospital‐level data from the 2018 Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care Survey (n = 2045 hospitals), we examined the prevalence of implementation of Ten Steps indicators (each step and total number of steps implemented). Using linear regression, we also examined the association between the steps and EBF prevalence adjusted for hospital characteristics and all other steps. Discharge support was not included in the models since it primarily occurs after hospital discharge. Results: The most frequently implemented step was the provision of prenatal breastfeeding education (95.6%). Steps with low implementation included rooming‐in (18.9%), facility policies supportive of breastfeeding (23.4%), and limited formula supplementation (28.2%). After adjusting for hospital characteristics and all other steps, limited formula supplementation (difference = 14.4: 95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.6, 16.1), prenatal breastfeeding education (difference = 7.0; 95% CI: 3.3, 10.8), responsive feeding (difference = 6.3; 95% CI: 3.7, 9.0), care right after birth (skin‐to‐skin; difference = 5.8; 95% CI: 4.2, 7.4), and rooming‐in (difference = 2.4; 95% CI: 0.4, 4.6) were associated with higher in‐hospital EBF prevalence. We found a dose–response relationship between the number of steps implemented and in‐hospital EBF prevalence. Conclusion: Increased implementation of the updated Ten Steps may improve EBF and infant and maternal health outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

PR, IFPRI3; ISI; 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all; Alive and Thrive, Nutrition, Diets, and Health (NDH); Food and Nutrition Policy, Background: Maternal undernutrition during pregnancy remains a critical public health issue in India. While evidence-based interventions exist, poor program implementation and limited uptake of behavior change interventions make addressing undernutrition complex. To address this challenge, Alive & Thrive implemented interventions to strengthen interpersonal counseling, micronutrient supplement provision, and community mobilization through the government antenatal care (ANC) platform in Uttar Pradesh, India. Objective: This qualitative study aimed to: (1) examine pregnant women’s experiences of key nutrition-related behaviors (ANC attendance, consuming a diverse diet, supplement intake, weight gain monitoring, and breastfeeding intentions); (2) examine the influence of family members on these behaviors; and (3) identify key facilitators and barriers that affect behavioral adoption. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study with in-depth interviews with 24 pregnant women, 13 husbands, and 15 mothers-in-law (MIL). We analyzed data through a thematic approach using the Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) framework. Results: For ANC checkups and maternal weight gain monitoring, key facilitators were frontline worker home visits, convenient transportation, and family support, while the primary barrier was low motivation and lack understanding of the importance of ANC checkups. For dietary diversity, there was high reported capability (knowledge related to the key behavior) and most family members were aware of key recommendations; however, structural opportunity barriers (financial strain, lack of food availability and accessibility) prevented behavioral change. Opportunity ranked high for iron and folic acid supplement (IFA) intake, but was not consistently consumed due to side effects. Conversely, lack of supply was the largest barrier for calcium supplement intake. For breastfeeding, there was low overall capability and several participants described rec

Abstract

PR, IFPRI3; DCA; ISI; 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all, Nutrition, Diets, and Health (NDH); Food and Nutrition Policy, Background The long-term association between preconception maternal hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations and child health and development is unclear. Objectives We examined associations between maternal preconception Hb concentrations and anemia with 1) birth outcomes (weight, length, preterm, gestational age, small for gestational age); 2) child Hb at 3 mo, 6 mo, 12 mo, and 24 mo; and 3) motor and mental development at 12 mo and 24 mo (Bayley scales for infant development) and cognitive functioning at 6–7 y (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children). Methods We used data from a randomized controlled trial (PRECONCEPT) conducted in Vietnam. Over 5000 women who were intending to conceive were recruited, and offspring were prospectively followed from birth (n = 1599) through 6–7 y (n = 1318). Multivariable linear and logistic regressions were used to assess the association between preconception Hb or anemia (Hb < 12g/dL) on child health and development outcomes, adjusted by supplementation group (tested for interactions) and confounding at maternal, child, and household levels. Results At preconception enrollment, 20% of the women were anemic. Maternal preconception Hb was positively associated with child Hb at 3 mo (0.06; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.12), 6 mo (0.08; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.13), 12 mo (0.10; 95% CI: 0.04, 0.15), and 24 mo (0.07; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.12). Likewise, maternal preconception Hb was associated with reduced risk of child anemia at 6 mo (0.89; 95% CI: 0.81, 0.98), 12 mo (0.81; 95% CI: 0.74, 0.89), and 24 mo (0.87; 95% CI: 0.79, 0.95). Maternal preconception anemia was negatively associated with cognition (−1.64; 95% CI: −3.09, −0.19) and language development (−1.61; 95% CI: −3.20, −0.03) at 24 mo. Preconception Hb was not associated with birth outcomes or cognitive outcomes at 6–7 y. Conclusions Maternal preconception Hb was associated with child Hb across the first 1000 d of life. However, preconception Hb was not a significant predictor of birth outcomes or cognitive out

Abstract

PR, 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all; IFPRI3; ISI, Nutrition, Diets, and Health (NDH); Poverty, Gender, and Inclusion (PGI); Food and Nutrition Policy, Background: Inequity in child development is found at early age, but limited evidence exists on whether these gaps change over time and what are the mediators. Objective: We aim to (1) quantify wealth related gaps in cognitive and socio-emotional development in early and middle childhood; (2) examine how these gaps were mitigated by maternal, child factors and home environment. Methods: We assessed the offspring of women who participated in a randomized controlled trial of preconception micronutrient supplementation in Vietnam (n = 1599). Child development was measured by the Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III (at 1-2y) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children®—IV (at 6-7y). We used multivariable regression to estimate the changes in wealth gaps for child development over time, adjusting for potential factors that potentially influence cognitive development. Results: We found significant wealth gaps in cognitive development during early childhood (gaps between top and bottom quintiles: 0.5 SD); these gaps increased substantially in middle childhood (0.9 SD). Wealth disparity in social emotion did not change over time (0.26–0.28 SD). Maternal factors, quality of home environment, and child nutritional status mitigated the wealth gap in cognitive development (7-42%) in early childhood. The contribution of these mitigating factors was smaller in middle childhood (2- 15%). Wealth gap in social emotion reduced by 13% and 43% among children with better nutritional status at 2y and higher quality of home environment at 6-7y, respectively. Conclusion: Interventions focusing on improving quality of home environment, maternal education, wellbeing, and child nutrition status may help reduce developmental deficits associated with poverty.

Abstract

Infants need to receive care in environments that limit their exposure to pathogens. Inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) environments and suboptimal infection prevention and control practices in healthcare settings contribute to the burden of healthcare-associated infections, which are particularly high in low-income settings. Specific research is needed to understand infant feeding preparation in healthcare settings, a task involving multiple behaviors that can introduce pathogens and negatively impact health. To understand feeding preparation practices and potential risks, and to inform strategies for improvement, we assessed facility WASH environments and observed infant feeding preparation practices across 12 facilities in India, Malawi, and Tanzania serving newborn infants. Research was embedded within the Low Birthweight Infant Feeding Exploration (LIFE) observational cohort study, which documented feeding practices and growth patterns to inform feeding interventions. We assessed WASH-related environments and feeding policies of all 12 facilities involved in the LIFE study. Additionally, we used a guidance-informed tool to carry out 27 feeding preparation observations across 9 facilities, enabling assessment of 270 total behaviors. All facilities had ‘improved’ water and sanitation services. Only 50% had written procedures for preparing expressed breastmilk; 50% had written procedures for cleaning, drying, and storage of infant feeding implements; and 33% had written procedures for preparing infant formula. Among 270 behaviors assessed across the 27 feeding preparation observations, 46 (17.0%) practices were carried out sub-optimally, including preparers not handwashing prior to preparation, and cleaning, drying, and storing of feeding implements in ways that do not effectively prevent contamination. While further research is needed to improve assessment tools and to identify specific microbial risks of the suboptimal behaviors identified, the evidence generated is sufficient to justify investment in developing guidance and programing to strengthen infant feeding preparation practices to ensure optimal newborn health.

Abstract

Radiation therapy (RT) is a frequently used modality for cancer treatment. Acute and/or chronic skin changes may occur and carry risk of influencing quality of life during and after completion of RT. Radiation reactions may lead to delays in treatment, diminished cosmesis, and functional deficits. Lifestyle factors, treatment modalities, topical agents, and, in some cases, wound dressings may be utilized to help prevent or ameliorate radiation-induced skin reactions. While rigorous evidence supporting specific interventions may be lacking or contradictory, this article summarizes the current knowledge of the etiology, manifestations, and interventions available for prevention and management of radiation dermatitis. Further well-designed studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of current recommendations and facilitate development of novel strategies for optimal care of patients with radiation dermatitis., Introduction Radiation therapy (RT) remains an essential component of cancer treatment, with nearly 50% of cancer patients receiving RT at some point during the course of their illness. Of those [...]
