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.   Focally enhanced gastritis in children with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis

  This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of focally enhance & other gastric histological abnormalities in children with inflammatory bowel disease and examine the utility of focally enhanced gastritis in determining ulcerative colitis orCrohn's disease

  

  Abstract:

  OBJECTIVES: Focally enhanced gastritis (FEG) has been suggested as a specific diagnostic marker for patients with Crohn's disease. However, the utility of FEG for distinguishing Crohn's disease from ulcerative colitis is uncertain in adults, and the occurrence of this lesion in children has not been defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of FEG and other gastric more...

• 4.   Is Helicobacter pylori infection in childhood a risk factor for gastric cancer?

  This article discusses whether Helicobacter pylori infection in childhood is a risk factor for gastric cancer

  

  Abstract:

  Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Furthermore, the World Health Organization has classified this organism as a carcinogen for gastric cancer. H pylori infection is mainly acquired in childhood. Children with H pylori infection are asymptomatic except for a very small number that develop peptic ulcer disease. However, if H pylori more...

• 5.   Limitations to carbon 13-labeled urea breath testing for Helicobacter pylori in infants

  This study examined the limitations to carbon 13-labeled urea breath testing for Helicobacter pylori in infants

  

  Abstract:

  We determined the validity of the carbon 13-labeled urea breath test in young children. We found that although the 13C-labeled urea breath test had a specificity greater than 90%, borderline or false positive results occurred more frequently in children younger than 2 years compared with older children. False positive results may be caused by oral-urease-producing organisms because more...

• 6.   Nonulcer dyspepsia and Helicobacter pylori eradication in children

  This study examined long-term symptom severity in pediatric patients with nonulcer dyspepsia and H pylori gastritis after H pylori eradication

  

  Abstract:

  BACKGROUND: Controversy exists over Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy in the treatment of patients with nonulcer dyspepsia. The lack of pediatric studies has made it difficult to draw conclusions about the use of eradication in dyspeptic children. The aim of this study was to examine long-term symptom severity in pediatric patients with nonulcer dyspepsia and H pylori gastritis more...

• 7.   Prevalence of esophagitis in H. pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease and the impact of eradication therapy

  The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of esophagitis in H. pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease and examine the short-term impact of H. pylori therapy on the esophagus

  

  Abstract:

  BACKGROUND/AIMS: There have been recent reports of reflux esophagitis apparently occurring de novo after cure of H. pylori in peptic ulcer disease. The possibility that this phenomenon might be explained, at least in part, by unmasking of coexistent disease has not been assessed. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of esophagitis in H. pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease more...

• 8.   Risk factors for Helicobacter pylori infection in children: an examination of the role played by intrafamilial bed sharing

  The aim of this study was to examine if sharing a bed or bedroom with an infected family member is an important risk factor for primary childhood H. pylori infection.

  

  Abstract:

  BACKGROUND: The exact mode of transmission of Helicobacter pylori is yet to be established. Close personal contact among family members appears to be a key factor. The aim of this study was to establish whether sharing a bed or bedroom with an infected family member is an important risk factor for primary childhood H. pylori infection. METHODS: Fifty-two families with at least 1 child more...
