What ' s new in midwifery - 9th November 2022
Some recent things you may find useful to know about...First, a new Cochrane review looking at support for healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies. (free to access in the UK).And a plain language summary from NIHR of a trial comparing e-cigarettes with nicotine patches for smoking cessation in pregnancy.Then, two trials. One looking at whether higher parenteral amino acid intake improves outcomes in extremely low birth weight infants. The trial, I think conducted in New Zealand, concluded that a dose of extra parenteral amino acids of 1 g per day for 5 days after birth did not increase the number that survived free from neurodisability at 2 years. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, you can read the abstract for free and watch a video summary. (You will need a subscription or library access to read the full paper).And a trial of group vs. traditional prenatal care for improving racial equity in preterm birth and low birthweight, a report of the Centering and Racial Disparities randomized clinical trial study, conducted in the USA. (Subscription or library access needed for access to the full paper).Acknowledgements: McMaster Evidence Alerts,Rotherham Hospital Library ' s Latest Health News blog.
