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.   Atopy, home environment and the risk of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes: a population-based case-control study

  The aim of this study was to investigate atopy and home environment (such as children living at home, sharing a bedroom and house moves) as potential risk factors for type 1 diabetes

  

  Abstract:

  BACKGROUND: The marked increases in the incidence of type 1 diabetes in recent decades strongly suggest the role of environmental influences. These environmental influences remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: To investigate atopy and home environment (such as children living at home, sharing a bedroom and house moves) as potential risk factors for type 1 diabetes. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: In more...

• 2.   Differences between males and females in the seasonality of birth and month of clinical onset of disease in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus in Ireland

  The aim of this study was to describe the differences between males and females in the seasonality of birth and month of clinical onset of disease in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus in Ireland

  

  Abstract:

  The aim was to study the monthly rhythm of birth and clinical onset in 303 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) aged 0-15 years (156 males, 147 females) born between 1980 and 1996 in Ireland and compare to 951,717 infants born in the general population during the same period. Analysis was performed using the cosine fit for rhythm and t-test between the seasons of the year. more...

• 3.   Higher incidence of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus in remote areas: a UK regional small-area analysis

  The aim of this study was to examine the association between the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus and remoteness (a proxy measure for exposure to infections) using recently developed techniques for statistical analysis of small-area data

  

  Abstract:

  AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: We investigated the association between the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus and remoteness (a proxy measure for exposure to infections) using recently developed techniques for statistical analysis of small-area data. SUBJECTS, MATERIALS AND METHODS: New cases in children aged 0 to 14 years in Northern Ireland were prospectively registered from 1989 to 2003. more...

  The aim of this study was to examine the epidemiology of childhood-onset Type I diabetes mellitus in Europe-the EURODIAB collaborative group established prospective, geographically-defined registers of children diagnosed under 15 years of age

  

  Abstract:

  AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: To describe the epidemiology of childhood-onset Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in Europe, the EURODIAB collaborative group established prospective, geographically-defined registers of children diagnosed under 15 years of age. A total of 16,362 cases were registered by 44 centres during the period 1989-1994. The registers cover a population of approximately more...
