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.   Endoscopic treatment for high grade vesicoureteral reflux in infants

  This study determined the long-term efficacy and safety of minimally invasive endoscopic treatment for high grade reflux in infants

  

  Abstract:

  PURPOSE: Minimally invasive endoscopic treatment for vesicoureteral reflux has become an established alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and surgical intervention in children. We determined the long-term efficacy and safety of this treatment for high grade reflux in infants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 411 consecutive infants who more...

• 2.   Subureteral dextranomer/hyaluronic acid injection as first line treatment in the management of high grade vesicoureteral reflux

  This study evaluated the effectiveness of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Deflux) as first line treatment for high grade vesicoureteral reflux

  

  Abstract:

  PURPOSE: Endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux has become an established alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and ureteral reimplantation. A number of tissue augmenting substances have been used for the endoscopic correction of vesicoureteral reflux. We prospectively evaluated the effectiveness of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Deflux) as first line treatment more...

• 3.   Treatment of vesicoureteral reflux by endoscopic injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic Acid copolymer: preliminary results

  This study evaluated the effectiveness of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer in the endoscopic treatment of vesicoureteral reflux

  

  Abstract:

  PURPOSE: Endoscopic subureteral injection of tissue augmenting substances has become an established alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and open surgery for the management of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children. Recently, dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Deflux, Q-Med AB, Uppsala, Sweden) a biodegradable injectable material has been reported to be a promising more...
