    Notes: To compare the feeding patterns and difficulties of infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) and healthy controls. Information was gathered via parental questionnaires.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉MethodsA matched case controlled study of 64 infants with CHD compared with 64 healthy controls.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉ResultsThe main findings were: (1) Feeding patterns: mothers with infants with CHD used bottle-feeding as a first method of feeding their babies more often (CHD, 20%, controls, 2%); (2) Specific feeding difficulties: (a) infants with CHD were significantly more breathless when feeding (CHD = 16%, controls, 0%), (b) had more vomiting at mealtimes (CHD = 23%, controls = 11%), but (c) had significantly less spitting (CHD = 19%, controls, 41%); and (3) infants with CHD showed significantly reduced growth.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉ConclusionsThe feeding difficulties are related to the organic condition and not specific difficulties in mother–infant interaction. Professional support may be required for mothers of infants with CHD to maintain feeding routines and to deal with the difficulties that arise.

    Notes: Summary.  This study explores the rate of psychosocial dysfunction in affected and unaffected children from families with haemophilia or β-thalassaemia, as part of a cross-sectional, multicentre study into the resilience of 115 families with blood disorders. Sociodemographic and developmental data were collected from the parents using a standardized and semi-structured interview format, and medical data were obtained from the clinician. The children's social functioning over the year prior to the assessment was assessed with The Social Adjustment Scale adapted for school-aged children. Children with β-thalassaemia showed significantly higher rates of social dysfunction than their unaffected siblings or children with haemophilia and their siblings. Older children showed significantly higher social dysfunction at school. The high rate of social dysfunction in children with β-thalassaemia compared with unaffected siblings is likely to have a basis in the negative experiences associated with their medical problems. In contrast, the therapeutic advances in haemophilia allows boys to lead an almost normal life. Overall, the rates of social dysfunction in families with both these disorders proved commoner than reported in population surveys, but with the unavailability of local population controls, caution needs to be exercised in the interpretation of this finding.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Background. Pseudophakic retinal detachment is one of the most severe complications after retinal detachment and is a common cause of permanent reduction in visual acuity. We evaluated parameters predicting reduced functional outcome by a model of stepwise regression analysis. Patients and Methods. A series of 102 consecutive patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment were analyzed for various parameters regarding cataract surgery, retinal surgery, and retinal detachment features. First, univariate analyses determined the correlations with reduced functional outcome. Secondly, a stepwise regression model analyzed statistically significant variables for their predictive value of a reduced visual outcome. Results. The overall reattachment rate was 99%. In 69% of the patients there was an improvement of more than two lines at the end of the follow-up period. The most predictive factors for reduced functional outcome were the need for a silicone oil tamponade and the visual acuity prior to retinal detachment surgery. When silicone oil tamponade was not needed, the requirement of more than two retinal surgeries was the most predictive factor for reduced visual outcome. Conclusion. In our series the strongest predictive factors for a reduced functional outcome were the necessity of silicone oil, reduced visual acuity at the time of retinal detachment, and the requirement of more than two retinal surgeries. These findings suggest that as the first-line procedures should not be a minimally invasive measurement but rather procedures that result in a stably attached retina in the first instance without permanent silicone oil tamponade, even if this first operation consists of a extended pars plana vitrectomy.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund. Die Ablatio retinae stellt eine der schwersten Komplikation nach Kataraktextraktion dar, da sie häufig mit einer deutlichen und dauerhaften Visusreduktion einhergeht. In dieser Studie sollen durch Anwendung einer Multifaktorenanalyse die Parameter analysiert werden, die die Vorhersage einer reduzierten Visusprognose erlauben. Patienten und Methoden. Es wurden 102 konsekutive Patienten mit einer Pseudophakieablatio retrospektiv hinsichtlich verschiedener Parameter der Katarakt-, Netzhautoperation und des Ablatiobefundes untersucht. Der mittlere Nachbeobachtungszeitraum betrug 14 Monate. In einem 1. Schritt wurden alle Parameter einzeln einer Varianzanalyse hinsichtlich des erreichten Visus unterzogen. In einem 2. Schritt erfolgte eine schrittweise multifaktorielle Analyse der signifikanten Parameter. Ergebnisse. Die kummulative Wiederanlegungsrate lag bei 99%. Einen Visusanstieg um mindestens 2 Zeilen erreichten 69%. Die Notwendigkeit einer dauerhaften Silikonöltamponade sowie ein schlechter Ausgangsvisus stellen die wichtigsten Parameter hinsichtlich einer reduzierten Visusprognose dar. Betrachtet man eine Untergruppe ohne Silikonöltamponade, so sind mehr als 2 netzhautchirurgische Eingriffe der wichtigste prognostische Faktor für ein schlechtes Visusergebnis. Schlussfolgerung. Nach den Ergebnissen unserer Studie ist nicht unbedingt das minimal-invasive Operationsverfahren die Therapie der Wahl, sondern das Operationsverfahren, das mit der geringsten Anzahl an netzhautchirurgischen Eingriffen zu einer stabilen Wiederanlage der Netzhaut ohne dauerhafte Silikonöltamponade führt. Es muss somit individuell entschieden werden, welches operative Verfahren als Ersteingriff am Erfolg versprechendsten erscheint, auch wenn dieser Ersteingriff ein ausgedehnted vitreoretinales Vorgehen erfordert.
