    Notes: Abstract Aims/hypothesis. To estimate the national incidence of Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in children under 5 years of age in Germany and to analyse temporal, seasonal, and geographical patterns of the diabetes incidence. Methods. During 1993–1995 newly diagnosed subjects were prospectively registered by the hospital-based ’German Paediatric Surveillance Unit' with monthly inquiries in all paediatric departments in Germany. Level of ascertainment was estimated by capture-recapture-analysis using two independent regional data sources. Results. During 1993–1995 the national incidence was 8.10 (95 %-CI: 7.61, 8.61) per 100 000 person-years, ranging in-between lower rates in west European countries and higher rates in northern Europe. Degree of ascertainment was about 85 %. Male to female ratio was 1.11 (95 %-CI: 0.98, 1.25). Compared with results of previous regional studies in the east and the south-west of Germany a 3- and 1.3-fold incidence increase was observed, respectively. Multivariate Poisson regression analysis showed season, geographical region, and interactions of age at onset with sex and calendar year to be independent significant predictors of the incidence. Incidence variation by age was different between boys and girls. A significant incidence increase by calendar year was found in 3- and 4-year-old children only. In summer and fall the incidence was higher than in winter and springtime, in the northern parts of the country higher than in the southern parts. Conclusion/interpretation. This study reports first national incidence data of Type I diabetes in children under the age of 5 years in Germany. Observed marked temporal, seasonal, and geographical incidence variations strongly support the causal role of environmental factors in disease aetiology. [Diabetologia (1999) 42: 1055–1059]

    Notes: Abstract In Germany the annual number of systemic Haemophilus influenzae cases in unvaccinated children aged 3–60 months has recently been exceeded by the number of cases in children vaccinated at least once with the PRP-D, HbOC or OMP vaccines, which until 1995 have almost exclusively been used for H. influenzae b (Hib) vaccination. Most of the vaccinated children however could already have had more vaccinations at onset of disease. How much does an age-related suboptimal vaccination status increase the risk for systemic H. influenzae infections? A case control study was performed in West Germany. Cases with systemic H. influenzae infections were ascertained between 7/92 and 8/94 with an ongoing active hospital surveillance programme. Six age-matched population controls per case were recruited at random. Only vaccinated cases and controls were included in the study. The main exposure analysed in this study was suboptimal vaccination at censoring; for censoring ages (age at disease onset in cases and corresponding age in matched controls) 〉 6 months: one vaccination in 1st year only; 〉 18 months: two (three for combined vaccines with Hib + DT or DPT in one syringe) vaccinations in the 1st year of life but no booster vaccination. Suboptimal vaccination for age increased the risk for systemic H. influenzae infections by a factor of 4.74 (95%-CI 2.17–10.34). Following adjustment for confounders the odds ratio was 4.39 (95%-CI 1.74–11.07). Subgroup analyses showed that this risk was not related to the type of vaccine used. The risk for “no booster vaccination” in children aged 〉 18 months appeared even greater than the risk associated with one vaccination in the 1st year only. Conclusions On schedule and complete Hib vaccin- ations are essential for an optimal effectiveness of Hib vaccination programmes. Booster vaccinatons between 12 and 18 months are important if the PRP-D, HbOC and OMP vaccines are used for primary vaccination.

    Notes: Abstract Ischaemic stroke is a rare event in childhood. In approximately one-fourth of cases an underlying cardiac disease can be detected. We investigated the importance of genetic risk factors of venous thromboembolism in childhood or stroke in adulthood as risk factors for ischaemic stroke in children in a multicentre survey focusing on patients with a cardiac disease. 38 of 162 white infants and children (neonate – 18 years) with ischaemic stroke were suffering from a cardiac disorder. An age-matched group of 100 children from the same geographic areas as the patients served as controls. Patients and controls were analysed for increased lipoprotein (a) levels 〉30 mg/dl, for the presence of the factor V (FV) G1691A mutation, the prothrombin (PT) G20210 A variant, and deficiencies of protein C, protein S, and antithrombin. The following frequencies (patients vs. controls), odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (CI) of single risk factors were found: Lp(a) 〉30 mg/dl (18.4% vs. 5%; OR/CI: 4.3/1.3–14.4; p = 0.03), FV G1691A (13.2% vs. 4%; OR/CI 3.63/0.92–14.3; p = 0.12) protein C type I deficiency (15.8% vs. 1%; OR/CI: 18.5/2.15–16.0; p = 0.0017), anticardiolipin antibodies (10.5% vs. 0%; p = 0.0051). No protein S or antithrombin deficiency was found. Combinations of haemostatic disorders were found in 10.5% of cases but in none of the controls (Fisher 0.005). Conclusion While FV G1691A and prothrombin G20210 A mutations show no significant data in our study, lipoprotein (a) levels 〉30 mg/dl protein C deficiency, anticardiolipin antibodies and combined prothrombotic disorders seem to be important risk factors for manifestation of ischaemic strokes in children with underlying cardiac disorders.

    Notes: Abstract A 1 mg dose of vitamin K given intramuscularly at birth prevents almost all cases of late VKDB, whereas even two oral doses of 1 mg vitamin K given in the first week and a third given in week 5 to 6 are less effective. Is efficacy improved by increasing the dose to 3 × 2 mg? For active surveillance of VKDB, monthly postcards which include a nothing-to-report option, were sent to all heads of pediatric hospitals in Germany from January 1995 to December 1998. All reports were validated according to a standard case definition for late VKDB by means of a questionnaire. The incidence of VKDB with three oral doses of 2 mg vitamin K is compared to previously published rates for VKDB on 3 oral 1 mg oral doses, which had been ascertained with the same surveillance scheme. The number of cases of VKDB (excluding the failure-of-management cases) in children aged 8 days to 12 completed weeks during the 4 year period was 23. 14 had intracranial hemorrhage, 22 had been exclusively breastfed, and in 20 cholestasis was detected after the bleeding episode. 14/23 had been given all recommended 2 mg doses for vitamin K prophylaxis. Until 1996 all had been given the cremophor vitamin K preparation, whereas in 1997 to 1998 two children with late VKBD had received the new mixed micellar (MM) preparation, first licensed in July 1996. The incidence of VKBD per 100,000 live births during the 1995 to 1998 period was 0.72, including children given no vitamin K prophylaxis, and 0.44 for children who had received all age-related recommended vitamin K doses. These incidence rates are significantly lower than those previously published for the 3 × 1 mg dose regimen in Germany (1.8 cases of late VKDB per 100,000 live births in children who had received all recommended vitamin K doses). Not all cases of late VKDB, however, are prevented by the 3 × 2 mg dose regimen, even if the new mixed micellar preparation is given instead of the cremophor preparation.

    Notes: Abstract Renal venous thrombosis (RVT) occurs mainly in the neonatal period and bears a dismal prognosis for individual kidney function. There is no generally accepted therapeutic regimen as controlled clinical trials are lacking. Over the last few years, thrombolytic therapy has been successfully employed by single centres. The present study set out to gather up-to-date information on the incidence, therapy and outcome of neonatal RVT as part of a prospective nation wide survey on neonatal thrombosis in Germany to serve as a basis for therapeutic trials in the future. Between 1992 and 1994 the minimum incidence of symptomatic neonatal RVT in Germany was 2.2 per 100,000 live births (95% confidence interval 1.4–3.3). Out of 35 cases, RVT occurred in 15 premature babies (incidence 13 per 100,000 live births (95% confidence interval 5.9–24.8). Ten babies had associated caval occlusion. Therapy was supportive in 8, low dose heparin was used in 14, full heparinization in 9 and thrombolytic therapy in 4 children. On follow-up after a median time of 11.5 months, renal atrophy was present in 26 out of 39 affected kidneys. Conclusion Neonatal renal venous thrombosis still leads to irreversible kidney damage in the majority of cases. Because of the low incidence a multi-national multi-centre therapeutic trial over a long period has to be considered in order to determine the optimal therapeutic approach.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this study was to estimate the proportion of pregnancies with pregestational diabetes in Germany, to compare the outcome of these pregnancies to pregnancies in nondiabetic mothers and to identify risk factors for poor pregnancy outcomes in mothers with pregestational diabetes. Data of the “Perinatalerhebung Nordrhine” from 1988–1993 were analysed. The Perinatalerhebung is an ongoing quality assurance programme of prenatal and perinatal care in the region of North Rhine (South Western part of North Rhine-Westphalia). During the observation period a proportion of 93%–100% of the annual births in the region (n = ∼100000) were included in the study. Their data had been documented by the obstetricians in a standard multiple choice questionnaire. The outcome parameters perinatal mortality, macrosomia, prematurity, and malformations were analysed in relation to several defined explanatory variables. There were 2,402 births in mothers with pregestational diabetes (0.4% of all births). The proportions of poor pregnancy outcomes in women with pregestational diabetes were 2.8% for perinatal mortality, 27.6% for macrosomia, 21.1% for prematurity and 2.1% for malformations . The respective relative risks compared to the non diabetic mothers were 4.3 (95% CI 3.4–5.5) for perinatal mortality, 3.1 (95% CI 2.9–3.3) for macrosomia, 2.7 (95% CI 2.5–2.9) for prematurity and 1.7 (95% CI 1.3–2.3) for malformations . The main risk factor for perinatal mortality in children of diabetic mothers after adjustment for maternal smoking, ethnicity, parents' professional achievement, type of obstetric hospital, and maternal age was substandard use of prenatal care. Conclusions The prevalence of births from mothers with pregestational diabetes and their pregnancy outcomes were similar to those in other Western countries. The standard for non-diabetic mothers has not been reached yet. Further improvements may be achieved if all diabetic women are convinced to use the standard prenatal care facilities throughout pregnancy.

    Notes: Abstract There is consensus that late vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) should be prevented by vitamin K prophylaxis. One single dose of 1 mg vitamin K1 is effective if given i.m. or s.c., but not if given orally. Repeated oral doses might be as effective as the parenteral dose but the optimal dose regimen remains to be established. Different oral dose schedules are presently used in different countries. In Australia, Germany, The Netherlands and Switzerland active surveillance data on late VKDB were collected in a similar manner and failure rates compared. Identical case definitions were used. There were three basic strategies for oral and one for parenteral vitamin K prophylaxis for healthy newborns in the four countries: (1) daily supplementation of low dose vitamin K (25 μg) for breast-fed infants (The Netherlands); (2) 3 × 1 mg orally [Australia (January 1993 – March 1994) and Germany (December 1992 – December 1994)]; (3) 1 mg vitamin K i.m. (Australia since March 1994); and (4) 2 × 2 mg vitamin K (new mixed micellar preparation) (Switzerland). The respective failure rates per 100,000 live births (including cases given all recommended doses and those given incomplete prophylaxis) were for strategy: (1) 0.2 (0–1.3) in The Netherlands; (2) 2.3 (95% CI 1.6–3.4) in Germany and 2.5 (1.1–4.8) in Australia (oral prophylaxis); (3) Australia (i.m. prophylaxis) 0 (0–0.9); and (4) 3.6 (0.7–10.6) in Switzerland. The failure rates for complete prophylaxis only were: strategy (1) 0 (0–0.7) in The Netherlands; (2) 1.8 (1.1–2.8) in Germany and 1.5 (0.5–3.6) in Australia; (3) Australia (i.m.) 0 (0–0.9); and (4) 1.2 (0–6.5) in Switzerland. Conclusions The Australian data confirm that three oral doses of 1 mg vitamin K are less effective than i.m. vitamin K prophylaxis. A daily low oral dose of 25 μg vitamin K1 following an initial oral dose of 1 mg after birth for exclusively breast-fed infants may be as effective as parenteral vitamin K prophylaxis. The effectiveness of the “mixed-micellar” preparation of vitamin K1 needs further study.

    Notes: Background: In adolescents and adults, an association between obesity and asthma was found in females. Does this sex-specific association already exist in young children? Methods: Questionnaire data on 9357 5- and 6-year-old German children were collected in 1997 in two rural regions in Bavaria. The diagnosis of asthma, hay fever, and eczema was ascertained with the ISAAC core and other validated questions. Overweight was defined by a BMI of 〉90th and ≤97th percentile and obesity by a BMI of 〉97th percentile. Results: The lifetime prevalence of doctor's diagnosed asthma in girls was 3.5% (95% CI 2.9–4.1%) for normal weight, 5.8% (95% CI 3.2–8.4%) for overweight, and 10.3% (95% CI 5.3–15.2%) for obesity, whereas no relation to weight was found in boys. Hay fever and eczema were unrelated to weight in girls and boys. The adjusted odds ratio for asthma in girls was 2.12 (95% CI 1.22–3.68) for overweight and 2.33 (95% CI 1.13–4.82) for obesity. Conclusions: A sex-specific association with doctor's diagnosed asthma was also observed in girls at school entry. Since this association was confined to doctor's diagnosed asthma in the absence of other atopic conditions, and no association with other atopic manifestations was found, we hypothesize that this association is related to factors other than atopic sensitization.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Methods: Cases of invasive HI-infections were reported in a national active surveillance program. The case definition required the typical clinical picture and a HI positive culture from a physiologically sterile site (or throat swab or tracheal aspirate in case of epiglottitis or pneumonia) in children up to 10 years. All initial reports were validated with a questionnaire that additionally questioned the vaccination status, type of vaccine, therapy, outcome of the disease and characteristics of the bacteria. The relation between the type of Hib vaccine used on the risk of infection was analysed in a case control study with controls selected at random from a population based sampling frame. Results: 310 confirmed cases of invasive HI infections were reported during the observation period, 199 of these with meningitis, 56 with epiglottitis. The number of cases declined from 71 in the last six months of 1992, 120 in 1993, and 65 in 1994 to 54 cases in 1995. In 1995 the incidence in up to 5 year old children was 1.1/100 000 for all infection sites and 0.7/100 000 for meningitis. The reduced rates were mainly due to a decrease in the number of unvaccinated cases, whereas the number of cases in vaccinated children fluctuated between 22 and 36 per year. Most of these were observed in incompletely vaccinated children, who according to the German recommendations could already have received at least one further vaccination at the time of the infection. The type of vaccine (HbOC, PRP-D or OMP) was not significantly associated with the risk of infection in vaccinated children. 10 % of the bacteria produced betalactamase. In accordance with the German recommendations third generation cephalosporines were used in almost all cases of meningitis. One third of these, however, received additional antibiotics. Conclusions: The present incidence of systemic HI infections in Germany is low. A further decrease, however, would be possible with “on time” completion of the vaccination schedule according to the German recommendations in all children.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Fragestellungen: Wie häufig waren nach Einführung der Hib-Impfung systemische Haemophilus-influenzae(HI)-Erkrankungen in Deutschland? Wie war der Hib-Impfstatus der betroffenen Kinder? Welche Risikofaktoren lagen systemischen HI-Erkrankungen bei geimpften Kindern zugrunde? Wie häufig sind β -Laktamase-Bildner bei systemischen HI-Erkrankungen im Kindesalter? Was sind die derzeitigen Standards bei der Behandlung der HI-Meningitis in Deutschland? Methode: Monatlich wurden im Rahmen der ESPED-Erhebung in allen Kinderkliniken Fälle von systemischen HI-Erkrankungen bei Kindern vor dem 10. Geburtstag erfragt. Die Meldungen wurden anhand von Fragebögen validiert und bezüglich der Umstände der Erkrankung charakterisiert. Der Zusammenhang zwischen dem Einsatz unterschiedlicher Hib-Impfstoffe und dem Erkrankungsrisiko für Hib-geimpfte Kinder wurde in einer Fallkontrollstudie überprüft. Ergebnisse: Von 310 dokumentierten Fällen waren 199 an einer Meningitis und 56 an einer Epiglottitis erkrankt. Die absolute Fallzahl nahm von 71 in der 2. Jahreshälfte 1992 über 120 in 1993, 65 in 1994 und 54 in 1995 kontinuierlich ab, insbesondere Fälle bei nichtgeimpften Kindern. Die Rate der Erkrankungen betrug 1995 1,1 (alle HI-Erkrankungen) bzw. 0,7 (Meningitiden) pro 100 000 Kinder. Pro Jahr wurden zwischen 22 und 36 Erkrankungen bei mindestens 1 mal geimpften Kindern beobachtet. Die meisten dieser Kinder hätten zum Erkrankungszeitpunkt bereits vollständiger geimpft sein können. Der Typ des verwendeten Vakzins (HbOC, PRP-D oder OMP) hatte keinen signifikanten Einfluß auf das Erkrankungsrisiko bei Hib-geimpften Kindern. Bei 10 % der Erkrankungen wurden β -Laktamase-bildende HI-Stämme gefunden. Bei der Initialbehandlung der HI-Meningitis wurden bis auf 2 Fälle immer Zephalosporine der 3. Generation eingesetzt – bei 1/3 der Fälle kombiniert mit anderen Antibiotika. Schlußfolgerung: Die Inzidenz systemischer HI-Erkrankungen, insbesondere der Meningitis, ist derzeit niedrig. Eine weitere Abnahme wäre durch frühzeitige Impfungen entsprechend den Stiko-Empfehlungen möglich.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Background: N. meningitidis infections may present as severe fulminant sepsis with poor prognosis. We assessed the frequency, age distribution, hemostaseological skin findings, need for intensive care therapy and prognosis of this infection. Methods: The data were collected using an active monthly surveillance system, the „Erhebungseinheit für seltene pädiatrische Erkrankungen in Deutschland (ESPED)“ from July 1994 to June 1995 in 320 childrens hospitals in Germany. Patients over to the age of 16 were excluded. The answering rate was 91 %. Results: 291 infections according to the case definition (N. meningitidis in blood culture and/or cerebrospinal fluid) were reported. Frequency peaked in the first year of life (n = 87) and from age 13 to 16 (n = 53). Intensive care measures (mechanical ventilation, dialysis, catecholamines) were needed in 42 children; 29 of those survived. The overall mortality was 4.5 %, but was relatively higher in 5–6 year old children (15 %). Petechiae and small hematomas (〈 10 mm) were a frequent finding (112/291 [38 %] patients), all these children survived. Ecchymoses (〉 10 mm) and/or skin necroses were observed in 82 children; 12 (15 %) of those died. Four survivors required surgical interventions for correction of necroses (skin transplants and/or amputations). Conclusions: Petechiae and small subcutaneous bleedings (〈 10 mm) are not indicative for an unfavourable prognosis of N. meningitidis infections. The overall mortality was low (4.5 %), however, despite early antibiotic therapy relatively high in 5–6 year old children (15 %). The findings ecchymoses and/or skin necroses alone are not sufficient to evaluate the efficacy of innovative therapeutical measures.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Neisseria meningitidis-Infektionen sind beim Auftreten einer Sepsis mit einer hohen Mortalität behaftet. Ziel der Untersuchung war die Evaluierung von Inzidenz, Klinik, Therapie und Prognose dieser Infektionskrankheiten. Methode:Über die „Erhebungseinheit für seltene pädiatrische Erkrankungen in Deutschland“ (ESPED) wurden von Juli 1994 bis Juni 1995 monatlich die oben genannten Parameter in 320 Kinderkliniken bei Kindern und Jugendlichen (≤ 16 Jahre) erfragt. Die Rückantwortquote war 91 %. Ergebnisse: Es wurden 291 Infektionen gemäß der Falldefinition gemeldet. Infektionen traten am häufigsten im 1. Lebensjahr (n = 87) und vom 13. bis 16. Lebensjahr (n = 53) auf. Intensivtherapie erhielten 42 Patienten, von denen 29 überlebten. Die Gesamtmortalität betrug 4,5 % war jedoch bei den 5- bis 6jährigen Kindern mit 15 % hoch. Petechien und kleine Hämatome waren mit 112 von 291 (38 %) ein häufiger Befund; diese Kinder überlebten alle. Flächenhafte Hautblutungen (mit oder ohne Petechien) und/oder Hautnekrosen traten bei 82 Kindern auf, von denen 12 (15 %) verstarben. Schlußfolgerungen: Petechien und kleine Hautblutungen als einzige klinische Zeichen der Hämostasestörung sind per se nicht mit einer ungünstigen Prognose verbunden. Diese bundesweite Erhebung zu Neisseria-meningitidis-Infektionen zeigt, daß bei insgesamt hoher Fallzahl die Gesamtmortalität gering war, jedoch trotz frühzeitiger Antibiotikabehandlung eine überraschend hohe Sterblichkeit im Vorschulalter vorlag. Großflächige Blutungen und/oder Hautnekrosen als einzige Kriterien haben eine zu geringe prognostische Aussagekraft, um die Effektivität zusätzlicher Therapiemaßnahmen in vertretbarer Zeit und Zahl evaluieren zu können.
