Estudio sobre tratamiento con hormona de crecimiento en la Comunidad Valenciana en niños con déficit de GH y en pequeños para la edad gestacional
2014
La efectividad del tratamiento con hormona de crecimiento (GH) en niños con talla baja por déficit de la misma o por haber nacido pequeños para la edad gestacional (PEG) queda ampliamente demostrada en la bibliografía. Este aspecto ha sido muy poco estudiado en la población pediátrica de la Comunidad Valenciana; por lo que el objetivo principal de este trabajo fue investigar la efectividad de la terapia con GH en una muestra amplia de niños valencianos (456) afectos de déficit de GH (311) y/o de talla baja por PEG (145). De los resultados obtenidos, hay que destacar que el tratamiento con GH, de acuerdo al protocolo establecido por el Comité de Asesor de Hormona de Crecimiento de la Comunid…
Exposure to trihalomethanes through different water uses and birth weight, small for gestational age, and preterm delivery in Spain
2011
Background: Evidence associating exposure to water disinfection by-products with reduced birth weight and altered duration of gestation remains inconclusive. Objective: We assessed exposure to trihalomethanes (THMs) during pregnancy through different water uses and evaluated the association with birth weight, small for gestational age (SGA), low birth weight (LBW), and preterm delivery. Methods: Mother–child cohorts set up in five Spanish areas during the years 2000–2008 contributed data on water ingestion, showering, bathing, and swimming in pools. We ascertained residential THM levels during pregnancy periods through ad hoc sampling campaigns (828 measurements) and regulatory data (264 me…
Residential Exposure to Outdoor Air Pollution during Pregnancy and Anthropometric Measures at Birth in a Multicenter Cohort in Spain
2011
Background: A growing body of research suggests that prenatal exposure to air pollution may be harmful to fetal development. We assessed the association between exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and anthropometric measures at birth in four areas within the Spanish Children’s Health and Environment (INMA) mother and child cohort study. Methods: Exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and benzene was estimated for the residence of each woman (n = 2,337) for each trimester and for the entire pregnancy. Outcomes included birth weight, length, and head circumference. The association between residential outdoor air pollution exposure and birth outcomes was assessed with linear regress…
