Abstract
The experience of diagnosis, decision-making and management in critical congenital heart disease is layered with complexity for both families and clinicians. We synthesise the current evidence regarding the family and healthcare provider experience of critical congenital heart disease diagnosis and management. A systematic integrative literature review was conducted by keyword search of online databases, MEDLINE (Ovid), PsycINFO, Cochrane, cumulative index to nursing and allied health literature (CINAHL Plus) and two journals, the Journal of Indigenous Research and Midwifery Journal from 1990. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to search results with citation mining of final included papers to ensure completeness. Two researchers assessed study quality combining three tools. A third researcher reviewed papers where no consensus was reached. Data was coded and analysed in four phases resulting in final refined themes to summarise the findings. Of 1817 unique papers, 22 met the inclusion criteria. The overall quality of the included studies was generally good, apart from three of fair quality. There is little information on the experience of the healthcare provider. Thematic analysis identified three themes relating to the family experience: (1) The diagnosis and treatment of a critical congenital heart disease child significantly impacts parental health and wellbeing. (2) The way that healthcare and information is provided influences parental response and adaptation, and (3) parental responses and adaptation can be influenced by how and when support occurs. The experience of diagnosis and management of a critical congenital heart disease child is stressful and life-changing for families. Further research is needed into the experience of minority and socially deprived families, and of the healthcare provider, to inform potential interventions at the healthcare provider and institutional levels to improve family experience and support.

Abstract
AIM To examine the sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) disparity between Māori and non-Māori in New Zealand. METHODS A nationwide prospective case-control study ran from March 2012 to February 2015. Exposure to established SUDI risk factors was analysed to investigate the disparity experienced by Māori. Infant ethnicity was based on mother's ethnicity. Māori ethnicity was prioritised. Non-Māori includes Pacific, Asian, NZ European and Other. RESULTS There were 137 cases and 649 controls. The Māori SUDI rate was 1.41/1000 live births compared to 0.53/1000 for non-Māori. Parents/caregivers of 132 cases (96%) and 258 controls (40%) were interviewed. Smoking in pregnancy was associated with an equally increased SUDI risk for Māori (adjusted OR = 8.11, 95% CI = 2.64, 24.93) and non-Māori (aOR = 5.09, 95% CI = 1.79, 14.47), as was bed-sharing (aOR = 3.66, 95% CI = 1.49, 9.00 vs aOR = 11.20, 95% CI = 3.46, 36.29). Bed-sharing prevalence was similar; however, more Māori controls smoked during pregnancy (46.7%) than non-Māori (22.8%). The main contributor relating to increased SUDI risk for Māori/non-Māori infants is the combination of smoking in pregnancy and bed sharing. CONCLUSION The association between known SUDI risk factors, including bed sharing and/or smoking in pregnancy and SUDI risk, is the same regardless of ethnicity. Māori infants are exposed more frequently to both behaviours because of the higher Māori smoking rate.

Abstract
Severe lower respiratory infection (LRI) is believed to be one precursor of protracted bacterial bronchitis, chronic moist cough (CMC), and chronic suppurative lung disease. The aim of this study was to determine and to describe the presence of respiratory morbidity in young children 1 year after being hospitalized with a severe LRI. Children aged less than 2 years admitted from August 1, 2007 to December 23, 2007 already enrolled in a prospective epidemiology study (n = 394) were included in this second study only if they had a diagnosis of severe bronchiolitis or of pneumonia with no co-morbidities (n = 237). Funding allowed 164 to be identified chronologically, 131 were able to be contacted, and 94 agreed to be assessed by a paediatrician 1 year post index admission. Demographic information, medical history and a respiratory questionnaire was recorded, examination, pulse oximetry, and chest X-ray (CXR) were performed. The predetermined primary endpoints were; (i) history of CMC for at least 3 months, (ii) the presence of moist cough and/or crackles on examination in clinic, and (iii) an abnormal CXR when seen at a time of stability. Each CXR was read by two pediatric radiologists blind to the individuals' current health. Results showed 30% had a history of CMC, 32% had a moist cough and/or crackles on examination in clinic, and in 62% of those with a CXR it was abnormal. Of the 81 children with a readable follow-up X-ray, 11% had all three abnormal outcomes, and 74% had one or more abnormal outcomes. Three children had developed bronchiectasis on HRCT. The majority of children with a hospital admission at <2 years of age for severe bronchiolitis or pneumonia continued to have respiratory morbidity 1 year later when seen at a time of stability, with a small number already having sustained significant lung disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of the present study were to investigate the type and prevalence of dental emergencies presenting at a teaching hospital paediatric emergency clinic in Trinidad, and to describe the socio-demographic factors related to the use of the service. DESIGN AND METHODS The authors used a prospective study of consecutive dental patients presenting to a paediatric emergency clinic. Data recorded included type of presenting emergency and socio-demographic variables. RESULTS Data were available for 309 participants; 47% were male and 53% female. The average age of the participants was 8.66 years (SD = 3.75 years; range = 1-16 years). Seventy-three per cent of the participants' parents were involved in manual work or unemployed, and 21% were in nonmanual/professional employment; the occupation was not known in 6% of cases. Caries-related problems accounted for 74% of emergencies. Dental trauma mostly affected the upper permanent incisor teeth, with concussion, subluxation and intrusion being the most common injuries. CONCLUSION Dental emergencies presenting to this university-based clinic were predominantly related to caries and trauma. The service was more frequently utilized by children in the mixed dentition stage, children from lower socioeconomic groups and those living in the local area. The frequency of caries-related problems indicates the need for more community-based preventive strategies, including encouraging greater attendance for routine dental care and dental health education. Strategies for oral health promotion should also be developed to prevent dental trauma.

Abstract
Embryogenic tissue of nine sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] genotypes from Asia, Africa and the Americas was established from in vitro axillary buds on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Embryogenic aggregates, 1.0-2.0 mm in diameter, were encapsulated in alginate gel, precultured on medium containing elevated levels of sucrose and dehydrated prior to rapid freezing in liquid nitrogen. The maximum survival of embryogenic tissue ranged from 4% to 38%, depending on the genotype. With the incorporation of a slow-cooling step, survival was generally much higher than that obtained after rapid freezing alone. Five of eight genotypes tested with this protocol gave survival percentages in excess of 55%, and a further two in excess of 33%, all after evaporative dehydration. The most effective sucrose treatment(s), however, varied with the genotype.

Abstract
AIM Bronchiolitis is a common respiratory illness in children. We reviewed our experience of children under one year presenting to an intensive care unit with a clinical diagnosis of bronchiolitis in order to determine if ethnicity, prematurity, arterial carbon dioxide tension or nasopharyngeal aspirates positive for respiratory syncytial virus were related to the need for ventilator assistance. METHOD A review of the charts of all infants with bronchiolitis admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit from December 1991 to February 1994 was undertaken. RESULTS There were 94 infants. Ventilator assistance was given to 24 children--nine children had nasopharyngeal continuous positive airway pressure and 15 children required intermittent positive pressure ventilation. There was no difference in ethnic mix between the respiratory support group (Maori 45%, Pacific Islands 30%, other 25%) and those children managed conservatively (Maori 40%, Pacific Islands 36%, other 24%). Fifteen of the 24 infants who needed ventilator support were born prematurely. The mean (corrected) age of infants who required respiratory support was 1.79 (SD2.98) months compared to 3.32 (SD2.58) months for those infants who did not (p < 0.01). We were able to match 19 of the 24 infants who required ventilator support by age, sex and ethnicity with a nonventilated child. There was no significant difference in admission PaCO2 between groups (7.7 SD 1.5 vs 8.1 SD 1.5 kPa) or highest PaCO2 in the first 24 hours for nonventilated children and preintubation PaCO2 in ventilated children (8.6 SD1.3 vs 8.9 SD 1.9kPa). Nasopharyngeal aspirates were positive for respiratory syncytial virus in 39 patients. Respiratory support was required for 13 children who had positive RSV aspirates and for nine children who were not RSV positive (NS). CONCLUSION Infants with bronchiolitis that were premature were not likely to need respiratory support. Ethnicity, arterial PaCO2 and positivity for RSV were not related to the need for ventilator assistance.
