Method: An 11-year retrospective cohort study to determine the epidemiology of EOS. Incidence rates were calculated per 1000 live births. Logistic regression with linear temporal trend and covariates for potential effect modifiers were employed. Blood culture utilisation was determined by examining the rate of babies undergoing blood culture within 72 hours of birth. Results: Among 93,584 live born babies, 65 had confirmed EOS (0.69/1000 live births); 22 term, 43 preterm. Across the 4 largest birth units, the proportion of babies having blood culture within 72 hours of birth varied from 1.9–5.1% for term and 21–35% for preterm babies. The annual change in the EOS rate was significant, OR 0.91 (95% CI, 0.84 to 0.99, p = 0.03). Group B Streptococcus was the most common cause of EOS in term neonates at 0.35/1000 live births (95% CI, 0.07–0.63) in 2006 and 0.1/1000 live births (95% CI, 0–0.2) in 2016. Escherichia coli was the most common cause in preterm babies at 3.4/1000 (95% CI, 0.11–6.76) in 2006 reducing significantly to 1.35/1000 live births (95% CI, -0.07–2.78) by 2016. Conclusions: Escherichia coli and GBS were the most common causes of EOS in preterm and term babies respectively. Rates of all cause term and preterm EOS declined significantly as did preterm sepsis due to E. coli. While rate of sepsis due to early-onset GBS declined, this did not reach significance. Given the high proportion of preterm babies undergoing blood culture, it is unlikely that any EOS events were missed.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 19:38:20 AEDT ]]> Group B streptococcal screening, intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis, and neonatal early-onset infection rates in an Australian local health district: 2006-2016 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45197 Wed 26 Oct 2022 19:37:15 AEDT ]]> Does telehealth influence the decision to transfer residents of residential aged care facilities to emergency departments?

Exposure to developmental care education influenced perceptions of its application. Nurses without formal developmental care education were more likely to agree that it was consistently applied [OR:3.3, 95%CI:1.3–8.6], developmental care skills are valued [OR:2.7, 95%CI:1.1–6.8], and that their nursing peers offered support in its application ([OR:2.5, 95%CI:1.1–6.2]. Conclusions: The results from our research suggest sNICU nurses have a high level of awareness of developmental care and its positive impacts. Despite differences between the surveyed units' developmental care education programs, the value of developmental care in reducing stress for infants and supporting families was collectively recognised. Future research in this setting should focus on evaluating the application of developmental care in this setting.]]> Wed 05 Jun 2024 09:24:13 AEST ]]> Shoulder dystocia: a panic station or an opportunity for post-traumatic growth? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38145 Wed 04 Aug 2021 16:38:28 AEST ]]> The effects of nurse-delivered caregiving in the neonatal setting: An integrative review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49077 Wed 03 May 2023 16:15:19 AEST ]]> Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for women who are screened positive for group B streptococcal colonisation: Clinical compliance with the guideline https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49003 Wed 03 May 2023 12:09:55 AEST ]]> Promoting mental health recovery by design: Physical, procedural, and relational security in the context of the mental health built environment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50540 Wed 02 Aug 2023 14:40:08 AEST ]]> Implementation and evaluation of a nurse-led intervention to augment an existing residential aged care facility outreach service with a visual telehealth consultation: stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54057 Tue 30 Jan 2024 13:56:43 AEDT ]]> The use of continuous foetal monitoring technologies that enable mobility in labour for women with complex pregnancies: a survey of Australian and New Zealand hospitals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49446 Tue 16 May 2023 13:53:26 AEST ]]> Factors associated with women's birth beliefs and experiences of decision-making in the context of planned birth: a survey study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46312 Tue 15 Nov 2022 11:17:48 AEDT ]]> Catastrophic thinking: Is it the legacy of traumatic births?: Midwives' experiences of shoulder dystocia complicated births https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46188 Tue 15 Nov 2022 08:43:55 AEDT ]]> A cross-sectional survey of Australian healthcare professionals' confidence, evidence-based knowledge and guideline use for antenatal asthma management https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46987 Tue 13 Dec 2022 09:28:47 AEDT ]]> ‘Continuity of Care Experiences’ within pre-registration midwifery education programs: a scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44264 Tue 11 Oct 2022 13:00:34 AEDT ]]> Demographic and social-cognitive factors associated with gestational weight gain in an Australian pregnancy cohort https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39116 Tue 10 May 2022 15:01:34 AEST ]]> Interconnectivity in the birth room https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45919 Tue 08 Nov 2022 09:39:03 AEDT ]]> Implementation of a multifaceted nurse-led intervention to reduce indwelling urinary catheter use in four Australian hospitals: A cluster controlled study. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45913 Tue 08 Nov 2022 09:32:11 AEDT ]]> Choosing vaginal birth after caesarean section: motivating factors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38605 Tue 08 Feb 2022 12:18:32 AEDT ]]> Comfort Equals Nurturing: Young People Talk About Mental Health Ward Design https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39831 Thu 28 Jul 2022 09:05:06 AEST ]]> Inter-hospital and inter-disciplinary variation in planned birth practices and readiness for change: a survey study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45341 Thu 27 Oct 2022 15:13:13 AEDT ]]> The impact of Healthy Conversation Skills training on health professionals’ barriers to having behaviour change conversations: a pre-post survey using the Theoretical Domains Framework https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45313 Thu 27 Oct 2022 13:24:15 AEDT ]]> Midwives' personal use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) influences their recommendations to women experiencing a post-date pregnancy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36191 Thu 27 Feb 2020 09:35:34 AEDT ]]> Midwives' personal views and beliefs about complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): a national survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37379 Thu 22 Oct 2020 13:08:06 AEDT ]]> Factors that may influence midwives work-related stress and burnout https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28635 Thu 22 Oct 2020 12:07:39 AEDT ]]> Are pregnant women with asthma receiving guideline-recommended antenatal asthma management?

Among underweight women, the percentage of women who gained inadequate gestational weight ranged from 67% to 98%. Only two studies were included in the meta-analyses to evaluate the association of gestational weight gain with pre-eclampsia and macrosomia. No difference was observed among women who gained inadequate and adequate gestational weight regarding experiencing pre-eclampsia (RR, 0.71; 95% CI: 0.22, 2.28, P = 0.57). Excessive gestational weight gain was not significantly associated with macrosomia compared to adequate weight gain (RR, 0.68; 95% CI: 0.38, 1.22, P = 0.20). Conclusion: A substantial proportion of sub-Saharan African women gain inadequate gestational weight particularly high among underweight women.
