van Dommelen, P. (author), Arnaud, L. (author), Koledova, E.B. (author)Curve matching may be used to predict growth outcomes using data of patients whose growth curves resemble those of a new patient with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and those born small for gestational age (SGA). We aimed to investigate the validity of curve matching to predict growth in patients with GHD and those born SGA receiving...article 2022

(author), Trasande, L. (author), Tiemeier, H. (author), Pronk, A. (author)BACKGROUND: Prenatal exposures to phthalates and bisphenols are associated with impaired brain development in animals. However, epidemiological studies investigating the association between prenatal phthalate or bisphenol exposure and cognition have produced mixed findings and mostly had modest sample sizes and measured the exposure during the...article 2020

van Dommelen, P. (author), de Graaff-Korf, K. (author), Verkerk, P.H. (author), van Straaten, H.L.M. (author)Background. Literature shows that lower gestational age leads to greater delays in the auditory conduction, which suggests atypical maturation of the brainstem in normal‐hearing premature newborns. Our aim is to investigate if there is a difference between the extrauterine and intrauterine maturation of the auditory system in normal-hearing...article 2020

Hollanders, J.J. (author), Schaefer, N. (author), van der Pal, S.M. (author), Oosterlaan, J. (author), Rotteveel, J. (author), Finken, M.J.J. (author)Background: Birth weight (BW) is often used as a proxy for gestational age (GA) in studies on preterm birth. Recent findings indicate that, in addition to perinatal outcomes, subjects born very preterm (VP; GA < 32 weeks) differ from those with a very low birth weight (VLBW; BW < 1,500 g) in postnatal growth up to their final height. Objective:...article 2019

(author), Blondel, B. (author), Zeitlin, J. (author)Background. International comparisons of stillbirth allow assessment of variations in clinical practice to reduce mortality. Currently, such comparisons include only stillbirths from 28 or more completed weeks of gestational age, which underestimates the true burden of stillbirth. With increased registration of early stillbirths in high-income...article 2018

(author)We systematically reviewed papers published in English between 1994 and October 2015 on how postnatal weight gain and growth affects neurodevelopment and metabolic outcomes in term-born small for gestational age (SGA) infants. Two randomised trials reported that enriched infant formulas that promoted early growth also increased fat mass, lean...article 2017
