Growth Patterns Between Ages 0 and 36 Months Among US Children With Orofacial Cleft: A Retrospective Cohort Study. J Acad Nutr Diet 2024:S2212-2672(24)00251-X. [PMID: 38801990 DOI: 10.1016/j.jand.2024.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about how young children with orofacial cleft grow over time. OBJECTIVE To characterize longitudinal growth patterns from ages 0 to 36 months in US children with an orofacial cleft. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS/SETTING Children with cleft lip, cleft lip and palate, or cleft palate who were younger than age 36 months at a hospital encounter between 2010 and 2019 (N = 1334) were included. The setting was a US tertiary care children's hospital with a cleft center that serves a 5-state region. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Weight-for-age z scores (WAZ) and length-for-age z scores (LAZ). STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED Longitudinal growth patterns were characterized using generalized linear mixed models to estimate mean WAZ and LAZ from age 0 to 36 months. RESULTS Growth in infants with cleft slowed dramatically during the first 3 to 4 months of life, rebounded with catch-up growth until age 12 months for cleft lip and cleft palate and until age 36 months for cleft lip and palate. When comparing populations, children with any type of cleft demonstrated subpar growth compared with World Health Organization standards. Growth deficits were more common in those with cleft lip and palate and cleft palate compared with those with cleft lip. The intraclass coefficient showed that most of the variability in the WAZ (65%) was between individuals, whereas 35% was within an individual. The intraclass coefficient for LAZ showed that most of the variability in the LAZ (74%) was between individuals, whereas 26% was within an individual. The proportion of variance attributable to cleft type and/or comorbidities accounted for <5% of the variance for WAZ and LAZ. WAZ and LAZ were lower in children with comorbidities than those without comorbidities with cleft and World Health Organization standards. CONCLUSIONS Infants with cleft lip and palate, cleft palate, and a cleft with comorbidities have higher rates of poor growth than peers with cleft lip and a cleft with no comorbidities, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oral feeding difficulty is common in infants after congenital heart disease (CHD) surgical repair and is associated with prolonged hospital stay and increased risk for tube-feeding at discharge (TF). The current understanding of the enteropathogenesis of oral feeding difficulty in infants requiring CHD surgery is limited. To determine the prevalence and risk factors for TF following CHD surgery in early infancy. STUDY DESIGN This was a 6-year single-center retrospective cohort study (2016-2021) of infants under 6 months who had CHD surgery. Infants required TF were compared with infants who reached independent oral feeding (IOF). RESULTS Of the final sample of 128 infants, 24 (18.8%) infants required TF at discharge. The risk factors for TF in univariate analysis include low birth weight, low 5-minute Apgar score, admitted at birth, risk adjustment in congenital heart surgery categories IV to VI, presence of genetic diagnosis, use of Prostin, higher pre- and postsurgery respiratory support, lower weight at surgery, lower presurgery oral feeding, higher presurgery milk calory, delayed postsurgery enteral and oral feeding, higher pre- and postsurgery gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), need for swallow study, abnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging (p < 0.05). In the multivariate analysis, only admitted at birth, higher presurgery milk calories, and GERD were significant risk factors for TF. TF had significantly longer hospital stay (72 vs. 17 days) and lower weight gain at discharge (z-score: -3.59 vs. -1.94) compared with IOF (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The prevalence of TF at discharge in our study is comparable to previous studies. Infants with CHD admitted at birth, received higher presurgery milk calories, and clinical GERD are significant risk factors for TF. Mitigating the effects of identified risk factors for TF will have significant impact on the quality of life for these infants and their families and may reduce health care cost. KEY POINTS · Oral feeding difficulty in infants after congenital heart disease surgical repair is common.. · Such infants require prolonged hospital stay and higher risk for tube-feeding at discharge.. · Identifying modifiable risk factors associated with tube-feeding can enhance clinical outcomes..

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and obesity) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose control, and metabolic syndrome) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The AHA Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, brain health, complications of pregnancy, kidney disease, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, sudden cardiac arrest, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valvular disease, venous thromboembolism, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing. The 2024 AHA Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort in 2023 by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and AHA staff members. The AHA strives to further understand and help heal health problems inflicted by structural racism, a public health crisis that can significantly damage physical and mental health and perpetuate disparities in access to health care, education, income, housing, and several other factors vital to healthy lives. This year's edition includes additional global data, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growth failure in infants born with CHD is a persistent problem, even in those provided with adequate nutrition. OBJECTIVE To summarise the published data describing the change in urinary metabolites during metabolic maturation in infants with CHD and identify pathways amenable to therapeutic intervention. DESIGN Scoping review. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Studies using qualitative or quantitative methods to describe urinary metabolites pre- and post-cardiac surgery and the relationship with growth in infants with CHD. SOURCES OF EVIDENCE NICE Healthcare Databases website was used as a tool for multiple searches. RESULTS 347 records were identified, of which 37 were duplicates. Following the removal of duplicate records, 310 record abstracts and titles were screened for inclusion. The full texts of eight articles were reviewed for eligibility, of which only two related to infants with CHD. The studies included in the scoping review described urinary metabolites in 42 infants. A content analysis identified two overarching themes of metabolic variation predictive of neurodevelopmental abnormalities associated with anaerobic metabolism and metabolic signature associated with the impact on gut microbiota, inflammation, energy, and lipid digestion. CONCLUSION The results of this scoping review suggest that there are considerable gaps in our knowledge relating to metabolic maturation of infants with CHD, especially with respect to growth. Surgery is a key early life feature for CHD infants and has an impact on the developing biochemical phenotype with implications for metabolic pathways involved in immunomodulation, energy, gut microbial, and lipid metabolism. These early life fingerprints may predict those individuals at risk for neurodevelopmental abnormalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Detecting malnutrition and its related risk factors are crucial, in hospitalized children. Anthropometric z scores are used to assess malnutrition. Screening tools also aim to detect the presence of malnutrition and the developing risk of malnutrition in hospitalized children to determine who may benefit from nutritional support. Therefore, the aims of the study are to detect malnutrition and its related demographic and clinical risk factors in hospitalized children and determining the sensitivity of Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP) and Pediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS) screening tools. METHODS A total of 130 hospitalized children aged between 0 and 18 years were included in to study. A survey including demographic and clinical characteristics, STAMP and PYMS were applied to parents of the children. Patients were classified into nutritional risk groups through screening tools. Anthropometric measurements (body weight, length/height, and middle upper arm circumference (MUAC) of the children were taken. Body mass index-for-age and height-for-age z scores were calculated to assess acute and chronic malnutrition prevalence. MUAC-for-age z scores were calculated as well. To detect independent risk factors for acute and chronic malnutrition multivariable logistic regression models were constructed. RESULTS A total of 14.6% of hospitalized children had acute malnutrition, 21.5% of children had chronic malnutrition and 27.7% of them had low MUAC standard deviation score (SDS) (less than -2). The independent risk factors for acute malnutrition were younger maternal age at birth and long length of stay (p < 0.05). The independent risk factors for chronic malnutrition were being female, younger maternal age at birth, longer illness duration and having urological or allergy and immunological diseases (p < 0.05). However, MUAC for age SDS groups were not related to any demographic and clinical factors, in children of all ages (p > 0.05). Regarding the screening tools, PYMS displayed 100% sensitivity against acute malnutrition. While PYMS displayed better sensitivity to identify acute malnutrition than STAMP, STAMP was more sensitive than PYMS to detect chronic malnutrition and low MUAC SDS. CONCLUSIONS Low MUAC for age SDS was not related to any demographic and clinical factors, in hospitalized children of all ages, unlike acute and chronic malnutrition, in this study. Pediatric screening tools mainly PYMS did not have high sensitivity to detect chronic malnutrition and low MUAC SDS, in hospitalized children. Therefore, the tools have to be used along with z scores of anthropometric parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To define the baseline characteristics of long-term tube-fed single ventricle patients, investigate associations between long-term enteral tube feeding and growth, and determine associations with long-term outcomes after Fontan procedure. STUDY DESIGN We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients in the Australia and New Zealand Fontan Registry undergoing treatment at the Royal Children's Hospital, the Children's Hospital at Westmead, Royal Melbourne Hospital, and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital from 1981-2018. Patients were defined as tube-fed (TF) or non-tube-fed (NTF) based on enteral tube feeding at age 90 days. Feeding groups were compared regarding BMI trajectory, BMI at last follow-up, and long-term incidence of severe Fontan failure. RESULTS Of 390 patients (56(14%) TF, 334(86%) NTF), TF was associated with right ventricular dominance, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, Norwood procedure, increased procedures prior to Fontan, extracardiac conduit Fontan, Fontan fenestration, and atrioventricular valve repair/replacement. TF patients were less likely to be in the higher compared with lowest 0-6 month BMI trajectory (P<0.01,P=0.03), had lower 6month weight-for-age z-scores (P<0.01) and length-for-age z-scores (P=0.01). TF were less likely to be overweight/obese at pediatric follow-up (HR=0.31,95%CI:0.12-0.80;P=0.02) and more likely to be underweight at adult follow-up ((HR=16.51; 5%CI:2.70-101.10;P<0.01).TF compared with NTF was associated with increased risk of severe Fontan failure (HR=4.13;95%CI=1.65,10.31;P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Prolonged infant enteral tube feeding is an independent marker of poor growth and adverse clinical outcomes extending long-term post-Fontan procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) To estimate nutritional status in a large cohort of infants with orofacial clefts in the US, overall and by cleft type from birth to 6 months of age. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a cross-sectional study in infants with orofacial clefts by examining growth by month between birth and 6 months of age. Infants with at least one weight measurement at a single US regional tertiary care pediatric hospital with an interdisciplinary cleft team between 2010 and 2020 were included. We calculated the average weight-for-age z scores and weight-for-length z scores. We calculated the proportion of infants underweight and wasting with z scores below -2 SDs monthly from birth to 6 months of age. We used t tests to compare the distribution of weight for age z-score and weight for length z-score among children with orofacial clefts to a normal distribution. RESULTS We included 883 infants with orofacial clefts. Compared with expected proportion of underweight infants (2.3%), a larger proportion of infants with orofacial clefts were underweight between birth and 1 month (10.6%), peaking between 2 and 3 months (27.1%), and remaining high between 5 and 6 months (16.3%). Compared with the expected proportion of infants with wasting (2.3%), a higher proportion of infants with orofacial clefts experienced wasting between birth and 1 month (7.3%), peaking between 2 and 3 months (12.8%), and remaining high between 5 and 6 months (5.3%). Similar findings were observed for all cleft types and regardless of comorbidities. CONCLUSION(S) A substantial proportion of infants with orofacial clefts compared with normative peers have malnutrition in the first 6 months of life in the US.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Feeding challenges and growth failure are lifelong issues for infants with congenital heart disease. The purpose of this review is to summarize the literature on the topic from North America. RECENT FINDINGS Despite recognition of feeding challenges and ongoing national collaboration, >50% of infants with univentricular physiology continue to require supplemental tube feeds at the time of discharge from neonatal surgery. Preoperative feeding is now commonly used in prostaglandin dependent neonates with congenital heart disease. The value of a structured nutritional program with establishment of best practices in nutrition is well recognized in the current era. Despite implementation of these best practices, neonates undergoing cardiac surgery continue to struggle with weight gain prior to discharge. This suggests that there is more to growth than provision of adequate nutrition alone. SUMMARY The National Pediatric Cardiology Quality Improvement Collaborative continues to play a major role in optimizing nutrition in infants with congenital heart disease. This among other registries underscores the importance of collaboration in improving overall outcomes for children with congenital heart disease. Nurses should be encouraged to lead both clinical and research efforts to overcome feeding challenges encountered by these children.

[PMID: 36235609 PMCID: PMC9571892 DOI: 10.3390/nu14193957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Revised: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Growth failure in infants born preterm is a significant issue, increasing the risk of poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes and metabolic syndrome later in life. During the first 1000 days of life biological systems mature rapidly involving developmental programming, cellular senescence, and metabolic maturation, regulating normal growth and development. However, little is known about metabolic maturation in infants born preterm and the relationship with growth. Objective: To examine the available evidence on urinary markers of metabolic maturation and their relationship with growth in infants born preterm. Eligibility criteria: Studies including in this scoping review using qualitative or quantitative methods to describe urinary markers of metabolic maturation and the relationship with growth in infants born preterm. Results: After a screening process 15 titles were included in this review, from 1998–2021 drawing from China (n = 1), Italy (n = 3), Germany (n = 3), Greece (n = 1), Japan (n = 2), Norway (n = 1), Portugal (n = 1), Spain (n = 2) and USA (n = 1). The included studies examined urinary metabolites in 1131 infants. A content analysis identified 4 overarching themes relating to; (i) metabolic maturation relative to gestational age, (ii) metabolic signature and changes in urinary metabolites over time, (iii) nutrition and (iv) growth. Conclusion: The results of this scoping review suggest there are considerable gaps in our knowledge relating to factors associated with metabolic instability, what constitutes normal maturation of preterm infants, and how the development of reference phenome age z scores for metabolites of interest could improve nutritional and growth outcomes.
