Cerebral palsy and perinatal mortality in children born in Norway to immigrant mothers
No full textAim: To compare the prevalence and clinical characteristics of cerebral palsy (CP), and perinatal mortality, in children born to non-immigrant mothers with children born to immigrant mothers. Method: This was a registry-based cross-sectional study. Data on children born from 2000 to 2016 were extracted from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway and linked to the Norwegian Quality and Surveillance Registry for Cerebral Palsy. The mother's country of birth was categorized into three groups: non-immigrant (born in Norway); immigrant from high-income countries (HICs); and immigrant from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) (born abroad giving birth in Norway). Birth prevalence of CP and prevalence of perinatal mortality per 1000 live births were calculated. Odds ratios (ORs) for CP among live-born children of non-immigrant mothers compared to mothers from HICs and LMICs were calculated using logistic regression, both unadjusted and adjusted for each risk factor for CP. Pearson χ2 tests were used to compare the proportions of clinical characteristics. Results: The prevalence of CP among non-immigrant mothers was 2.11 per 1000 live births, 1.44 among mothers from HICs, and 1.71 among mothers from LMICs. The OR for CP in mothers from HICs was 0.68 and 0.81 in mothers from LMICs. Despite mothers from LMICs having higher proportions of consanguinity and lower folate intake, and their children having lower Apgar scores, the ORs for CP were unchanged after adjusting for these. Yet, children born to mothers from LMICs had higher perinatal mortality; their children with CP had higher proportions of intellectual disability. Interpretation: The lower birth prevalence of CP among children born to mothers from LMICs was unexpected. Yet, children born to mothers from LMICs had higher perinatal mortality, which could impact the number of live-born children with CP.Cerebral palsy and perinatal mortality in children born in Norway to immigrant motherspublishedVersio

Offering a support person to parents who lose custody of their child: rapid review
No full textÅ miste omsorgen for et barn er en traumatisk opplevelse for foreldre. Oppfølging og veiledning fra en støtteperson kan være til stor hjelp. Vi utførte en hurtigoversikt over forskning om tilbud om en støtteperson til foreldre som har mistet omsorgen for et barn. Vi utførte litteratursøk, valgte ut studier, vurderte studienes metodiske begrensinger, trakk ut data og grupperte resultatene etter kriterier fra rammeverket Evidence-to-Decision (et rammeverk som benyttes for beslutningsarbeid). Vi inkluderte fire studier som alle tok for seg ulike aspekter knyttet til tilbud om en støtteperson til foreldre som har mistet omsorgen for et barn. Det var tre studier fra Danmark og én fra Sverige. Studiene hadde varierende metodiske begrensninger. Våre funn indikerte at: • Foreldre som fikk en støtteperson opplevde økt trivsel og livskvalitet, høyere tilfredshet, forbedrede foreldreferdigheter og bedre samarbeid med barnevern og fosterhjem. • Utfordringene var forsinket tilbud om støtteperson, utilstrekkelig støttetid, manglende foreldreinvolvering i beslutninger, mangelfull bruk av handlingsplaner. • Foreldre satte pris på emosjonell støtte, praktisk hjelp og støttepersonenes tilgjengelighet og nøytralitet. • Studiene ga ingen informasjon om ressursbruk. • Støttepersonordningen kan muligens ha en positiv innvirkning på ulikhet, inkludert at foreldre med minoritetsbakgrunn kan dra nytte av språk- og kulturformidling. • For at støttepersonsordningen skal være gjennomførbar trengs finansiering, en solid administrativ struktur, tilgjengelige og erfarne støttepersoner samt en fleksibel tilnærming som kan tilpasses ulike behov. Tilbud om en støtteperson til foreldre som har mistet omsorgen for et barn synes å ha en positiv innvirkning på foreldrene. Støttepersonen bør være uavhengig av barneverntjenesten, og implementeringen krever visse tilpasninger. For å kunne konkludere sikkert vil det være behov for mer forskning.publishedVersio
