    Abstract Background and objectives: Therapeutic hypothermia has reduced the risk of death or major disability following perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE); however, many children who experience perinatal HIE still go on to develop personal and behavioral challenges, which can be difficult for caregivers and a public health burden for society. Our objective with this review is to systematically identify and synthesize studies that evaluate associations between perinatal HIE and socioemotional or psychological outcomes.
    Methods: We screened all search-returned journal articles from Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science from data inception through February 1, 2023. Keywords related to HIE (eg, neonatal encephalopathy, neonatal brain injury) and outcomes (eg, social*, emotion*, behav* problem, psycholog*, psychiatr*) were searched with a predefined search string. We included all observational human studies reporting socioemotional or psychological sequelae of term HIE. Study data were recorded on standardized sheets, and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was adapted to assess study quality.
    Results: We included 43 studies documenting 3244 HIE participants and 2132 comparison participants. We found statistically significant associations between HIE and social and emotional, behavioral, and psychological and psychiatric deficits throughout infancy, childhood, and adolescence (19 studies). The authors of the included studies also report nonsignificant findings (11 studies) and outcomes without statistical comparison (25 studies).
    Conclusions: Perinatal HIE may be a risk factor for a range of socioemotional and psychological challenges in the short- and long-term. Routine screening, early intervention, and follow-up support may be particularly beneficial to this population.

    Abstract Background: Although maternal Hb levels during pregnancy are commonly associated with perinatal outcomes, their link to childhood neurodevelopment remains uncertain.
    Objective: This study aimed to examine the associations between maternal hemoglobin (Hb) in early and late pregnancy with offspring mid-childhood educational attainment in a high-resource obstetric setting.
    Study design: Pregnancy data from a prospective birth cohort (Pregnancy Outcome Prediction Study, Cambridge, UK, 2008-2012, N=3285) were linked to mid-childhood educational outcomes (Department for Education, UK). Regression models adjusted for maternal, child, and socioeconomic factors were used to determine associations between maternal Hb, pregnancy complications, and offspring educational outcomes (ages 5-7).
    Results: No association was observed between maternal Hb at 12 weeks and the likelihood of either adverse pregnancy outcomes or children meeting expected educational standards between ages 5-7. Higher maternal Hb at 28 weeks was associated with an increased risk of small-for-gestational age infants (aOR1.26, 95%CI 1.11-1.59; p=0.002) and preterm birth (aOR1.38, 95%CI 1.11-1.81; p=0.005). There were no adverse birth outcomes associated with anemia. However children of mothers who were anaemic at 28 weeks had ∼40% increased risk of not attaining expected educational standards at age 5 (aOR1.42, 95%CI 1.03-1.95; p=0.03). There was no association between maternal anemia at 28 weeks and educational performance at ages 6-7. No associations were found between high maternal Hb concentrations (top decile) or change Hb concentrations between 12-28 weeks and childhood educational attainment.
    Conclusions: Maternal anemia at 28 weeks of pregnancy is associated with reduced educational attainment aged 5, but not at older ages (6-7 years). A proactive approach to increasing maternal hemoglobin in high-resource settings is unlikely to impact on long-term childhood educational attainment.

    Abstract Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with a suboptimal intrauterine environment, which may adversely impact fetal neurodevelopment. However, analysing neurodevelopmental outcomes by observed birthweight fails to differentiate between true FGR and constitutionally small infants and cannot account for iatrogenic intervention. This study aimed to determine the relationship between antenatal FGR and mid-childhood (age 5 to 7 years) educational outcomes.
    Methods and findings: The Pregnancy Outcome Prediction Study (2008-2012) was a prospective birth cohort conducted in a single maternity hospital in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Clinicians were blinded to the antenatal diagnosis of FGR. FGR was defined as estimated fetal weight (EFW) <10th percentile at approximately 36 weeks of gestation, plus one or more indicators of placental dysfunction, including ultrasonic markers and maternal serum levels of placental biomarkers. A total of 2,754 children delivered at term were divided into 4 groups: FGR, appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA) with markers of placental dysfunction, healthy small-for-gestational age (SGA), and healthy AGA (referent). Educational outcomes (assessed at 5 to 7 years using UK national standards) were assessed with respect to FGR status using regression models adjusted for relevant covariates, including maternal, pregnancy, and socioeconomic factors. Compared to healthy AGA (N = 1,429), children with FGR (N = 250) were at higher risk of "below national standard" educational performance at 6 years (18% versus 11%; aOR 1.68; 95% CI 1.12 to 2.48, p = 0.01). By age 7, children with FGR were more likely to perform below standard in reading (21% versus 15%; aOR 1.46; 95% CI 0.99 to 2.13, p = 0.05), writing (28% versus 23%; aOR 1.46; 95% CI 1.02 to 2.07, p = 0.04), and mathematics (24% versus 16%; aOR 1.49; 95% CI 1.02 to 2.15, p = 0.03). This was consistent whether FGR was defined by ultrasound or biochemical markers. The educational attainment of healthy SGA children (N = 126) was comparable to healthy AGA, although this comparison may be underpowered. Our study design relied on linkage of routinely collected educational data according to nationally standardised metrics; this design allowed a high percentage of eligible participants to be included in the analysis (75%) but excludes those children educated outside of government-funded schools in the UK. Our focus on pragmatic and validated measures of educational attainment does not exclude more subtle effects of the intrauterine environment on specific aspects of neurodevelopment.
    Conclusions: Compared to children with normal fetal growth and no markers of placental dysfunction, FGR is associated with poorer educational attainment in mid-childhood.

    Abstract Background: Previous studies suggest that gestational diabetes mellitus is associated with poorer cognitive outcomes in children. However, confounding factors, especially maternal body mass index, have been poorly accounted for.
    Objective: This study aimed to examine the independent associations between maternal body mass index, gestational diabetes mellitus status, and educational outcomes.
    Study design: Antenatal data from a prospective birth cohort (Pregnancy Outcome Prediction Study, 2008-2012, Cambridge, United Kingdom) were linked to mid-childhood educational outcomes (Department for Education, United Kingdom). A total of 3249 children born at term were stratified by maternal gestational diabetes mellitus status and body mass index at booking (<25 vs ≥25 kg/m
    Results: No differences in educational attainment were found between children exposed to gestational diabetes mellitus and nonexposed children. Neither maternal glucose levels measured at 11 to 14 or 24 to 28 weeks, nor acceleration of the fetal abdominal circumference growth velocity were related to educational attainment at ages of 5 to 7 years. Children of mothers with booking body mass index ≥25 kg/m
    Conclusion: Mid-childhood educational attainment is not associated with maternal glucose status. This may provide important reassurance for pregnant women and clinicians. However, maternal body mass index is associated with lower childhood educational attainment and may be modifiable with intervention before or during pregnancy.

    Abstract Objective: Syndromic surveillance has been useful for routine surveillance on a variety of health outcomes and for informing situational awareness during public health emergencies. Following the landfall of Hurricane Maria in 2017, the New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) implemented an enhanced syndromic surveillance system to characterize related emergency department (ED) visits.
    Methods: ED visits with any mention of specific key words ("Puerto," "Rico," "hurricane," "Maria") in the ED chief complaint or Puerto Rico patient home Zip Code were identified from the DOHMH syndromic surveillance system in the 8-week window leading up to and following landfall. Visit volume comparisons pre- and post-Hurricane Maria were performed using Fisher's exact test.
    Results: Analyses identified an overall increase in NYC ED utilization relating to Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria landfall. In particular, there was a small but significant increase in visits involving a medication refill or essential medical equipment. Visits for other outcomes, such as mental illness, also increased, but the differences were not statistically significant.
    Conclusions: Gaining this situational awareness of medical service use was informative following Hurricane Maria, and, following any natural disaster, the same surveillance methods could be easily established to aid an effective emergency response.

    Abstract This study addresses the gap in understanding the varied effectiveness of group cognitive behavioral therapy (gCBT) delivered by different professionals. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluate gCBT and compare it to inactive controls in adults with a clinical diagnosis of depression. A total of 33 RCTs were included for analysis. In the overall analysis, 'profession of gCBT deliverer' was not a significant moderator in the meta-regression model (
