Irish Child Health Database - Peer Reviewed Papers

Database Search

How to use this database.

• Method 1- uses a free natural language approach.

  After choosing the object of the search – by ticking title, abstract, aims and objective, or author - enter a term, word or name in the ‘Search’ box to return references answering your research question.

• Method 2 - utilises key words.

  Those key words assigned from thesauruses of controlled vocabulary by the trained coders of international bibliographic databases.
  The controlled vocabularies key word are listed alphanumerically under 'Bibliographic database keywords' .
  Use the drop down menu to identity which 'key words' you are interested in to return references to answer your research question.

• Method 3 - is based on the indexing system

  developed by the researchers who compiled this database.
  It adopts a thematic approach to mapping Irish child health research. The themed areas represent outcomes mapped to the International Classification of Disease version 10 (ICD-10) or one of 23 other health-related themed outcomes. Themes are defined in Tables 5 to 7 (of the study report).
  Use the alphabetic drop down menu under ‘ICD-10 or themed health-related outcomes’ to identity which themed areas you are interested in to select references to answer your research question.

• Method 4 – allows papers to be searched by Study type.

  Indexing by study type offers a valuable insight into understanding the population impact of the topic of interest. More than 20 study types were identified across the 2,152 study papers. These are defined in Table 3 (of the study report). Within 'Study type' papers are further stratification by geographical region (Table 49), topic area of interest and study aims and objectives.
  Click on 'Study type' to select the type of study of interest, progressively select sub-categories by topic area or other sub-classification of interest to answer your research question.

The complete background, methods and findings from this mapping exercise are detailed in the study report.

• 1.   A probabilistic estimation of fluoride intake by infants up to the age of 4 months from infant formula reconstituted with tap water in the fluoridated regions of Ireland

  The aim of this study was to examine a probabilistic estimation of fluoride intake by infants up to the age of 4 months from infant formula reconstituted with tap water in the fluoridated regions of Ireland

  

  Abstract:

  Two probabilistic models were developed to estimate the acute and chronic exposure to fluoride of exclusively formula-fed infants aged 0-4 months as a result of the consumption of infant formula reconstituted with fluoridated tap water in Ireland. The estimates were based on calculated infant formula consumption and accepted body weight standards, together with reported concentrations more...

• 2.   Gaussian process modeling of EEG for the detection of neonatal seizures

  This study aimed to describe the gaussian process modeling of EEG for the detection of neonatal seizures

  

  Abstract:

  Gaussian process (GP) probabilistic models have attractive advantages over parametric and neural network modeling approaches. They have a small number of tuneable parameters, can be trained on relatively small training sets, and provide a measure of prediction certainty. In this paper, these properties are exploited to develop two methods of highlighting the presence of neonatal more...

• 3.   Lung cancer mortality predictions for Ireland 2001-2015 and current trends in North Western Europe

  The aim of this study was to examine Irish lung cancer mortality data for the years 1954-2000 to predict European age standardized mortality rates (EASMRs) and numbers of deaths for the period 2001-2015.

  

  Abstract:

  PURPOSE AND METHODOLOGY: Poisson regression models of Irish lung cancer mortality data for the years 1954-2000 were used to predict European age standardized mortality rates (EASMRs) and numbers of deaths for the period 2001-2015. Predictions for the whole population and for the age group 0-64 years were the main focus of this analysis. The models employed in this analysis were written more...

• 4.   Mortality predictions for colon and anorectal cancer for Ireland, 2003-17

  The aim of this study was to examine colorectal cancer mortality predictions for Ireland for all ages and for the age group 0-64 years.

  

  Abstract:

  OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer mortality predictions for Ireland are presented for all ages and for the age group 0-64 years. METHODS: Log and log-linear Poisson regression modelling was fitted to colorectal cancer mortality data for each year between 1950 and 2002 to predict average European age standardized mortality rates (EASMRs) per 100,000 person years (100,000 PY(-1)) and average more...

• 5.   Multi-channel EEG based neonatal seizure detection

  This study aimed to describe a multi-channel method for patient specific and patient independent, EEG based neonatal seizure detection

  

  Abstract:

  A multi-channel method for patient specific and patient independent, EEG based neonatal seizure detection is presented. Two classifier configurations are proposed and tested, along with a number of classifier models. Existing methods for neonatal seizure detection have been empirical threshold based or based on a single EEG channel. The optimum patient specific classifier for EEG based more...

• 6.   Variations in gains in auditory performance from pediatric cochlear implantation

  The aim of this study was to investigate variations in gains in auditory performance in children with cochlear implants

  

  Abstract:

  OBJECTIVE: To investigate variations in gains in auditory performance in children with cochlear implants. STUDY DESIGN: The auditory performance of 98 children was measured with the Category of Auditory Performance survey instrument. All data were collected prospectively. Variables used to explain gain in Category of Auditory Performance were age at implantation, sex, the duration of more...
