Sustainability of breastfeeding interventions to reduce child mortality rates in low, middle-income countries: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Front Health Serv. 2022 Aug 11;2:889390. doi: 10.3389/frhs.2022.889390. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTChild mortality is the lowest it has ever been, but the burden of death in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is still prevalent, and the numbers average above the global mean. Breastfeeding contributes to the reduction of child mortality by improving chance of survival beyond childhood. Therefore, it is essential to examine how evidence-based breastfeeding interventions are being maintained in resource-constrained settings. Guided by Scheirer and Dearing's sustainability framework, the aim of this systematic review was t...

Breastfeeding and Childhood Leukemia Incidence: A Meta-analysis and Systematic Review.
Conclusions and Relevance: Breastfeeding is a highly accessible, low-cost public health measure. This meta-analysis that included studies not featured in previous meta-analyses on the subject indicates that promoting breastfeeding for 6 months or more may help lower childhood leukemia incidence, in addition to its other health benefits for children and mothers.

Abstract P5-13-01: Association between breastfeeding and breast cancer risk by receptor status: A meta-analysis
Background: The rising incidence of breast cancer is mainly due to changes in reproductive, lifestyle, and environmental factors, not inherited genetic mutations. Many risk factors can be modified, offering important opportunities for prevention. In the era of personalized care, treatment is subtype dependent. While most prevention strategies are not subtype specific, we wanted to see if breastfeeding confers the same protection based on subtype, especially against poorer prognostic subtypes. Methodology: Relevant articles from case-control or prospective studies were identified by searching PubMed and Scopus databases thr...

Effects of breastfeeding training programmes for midwives on breastfeeding outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review has demonstrated that midwife breastfeeding training programmes could improve midwives' KAP towards breastfeeding. However, the breastfeeding training programmes had limited effects on breastfeeding initiation and rates. We suggest that future breastfeeding training programme should incorporate counselling skills alongside breastfeeding knowledge and skills training.REVIEW REGISTRATION: This systematic review has been registered in the International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) (ID: CRD42022260216).PMID:37072728 | DOI:10.1186/s12884-023-05540-6

Breastfeeding history and adenomyosis risk using a novel case-control study design
CONCLUSION: Breastfeeding history was associated with a 40% decreased odds of adenomyosis, a condition that can confer substantial morbidity and requires hysterectomy for definitive treatment. The consistency of our findings with that of a prior study lend support that breastfeeding may modify adenomyosis risk.PMID:36563837 | DOI:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2022.12.028

The preventive effect of breastfeeding against ovarian cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Breastfeeding is a preventive, modifiable factor for ovarian cancer in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Ever having performed breastfeeding was significantly preventive for ovarian cancer in the BRCA1 mutation carriers, however a period of 1 year or more of breastfeeding is required for a reduced ovarian cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers.PMID:34304906 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2021.07.028

Abstract C50: Applying the Stages of Change Model to breastfeeding in African-American women: A qualitative study
Conclusions: Findings indicate opportunities to enhance breastfeeding education and strengthen breastfeeding support for African-American women at each stage of behavioral change. Lessons learned can be used in designing culturally-tailored breastfeeding interventions for African-American women and also a survey tool to assess women's readiness to breastfeed. Healthcare providers and researchers should be aware of the unique historical and socio-cultural complexities influencing African-American women's breastfeeding behaviors when developing interventions. By improving breastfeeding in African-American women, aggressive b...

Abstract B60: Racial/ethnic differences in pregnant women's knowledge of the relationship between breast cancer risk and breastfeeding
Conclusions: The benefits of breastfeeding for long-term maternal health such as reduced risk of BC, including triple negative breast cancer in black women, have been documented in the literature; yet black women are least likely to breastfeed. The current study demonstrates that women have low knowledge about the link between BC and breastfeeding, particularly black and white women. These findings support the need for targeted interventions educating black women about the protective benefits of breastfeeding, particularly breast health, as a strategy to reduce their incidence and mortality of breast cancer. Despite our hy...

Breastfeeding factors and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Breastfeeding for as few as 3 months is associated with reduced EOC risk. Although this association decreases over time, it persists for more than 30 years. Longer cumulative duration, increasing number of breastfeeding episodes, and earlier age at first breastfeeding episode are each associated with increased benefit.

Presence of 5 chemotherapeutic drugs in breast milk as a guide for the safe use of chemotherapy during breastfeeding: results from a case series
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2022 Apr 29. doi: 10.1002/cpt.2626. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLittle is known about infant's safety of chemotherapy during breastfeeding where evidence is limited to few case reports. This lack of knowledge has led to a general tendency to advice against breastfeeding during cytotoxic therapy despite the overwhelming benefits that breastfeeding offers to both the mother and their children. In this case series, the presence of 5 chemotherapies in breast milk was determined. The aim was to obtain insight into the presence of these drugs in breast milk to inform and help clinicians in making informed ...
