Peter Aaby,Adam Roth,Adam Roth,Henrik Ravn,Bitiguida Mutna Napirna,Amabelia Rodrigues,Ida Maria Lisse,Lone Graff Stensballe,Birgitte Rode Diness,Karen Rokkedal Lausch,Najaaraq Lund,Sofie Biering-Sørensen,Hilton Whittle,Christine Stabell Benn,Christine Stabell Benn +14 more
TL;DR: Though early BCG did not reduce infant mortality significantly, it may have a beneficial effect in the neonatal period, which could be important for public health because BCG is often delayed in low-income countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small randomized trial among low-birth-weight children receiving bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination at first health center contact.
Sofie Biering-Sørensen,Peter Aaby,Bitiguida Mutna Napirna,Adam Roth,Henrik Ravn,Amabelia Rodrigues,Hilton Whittle,Christine Stabell Benn +7 more
TL;DR: A total of 105 low–birth-weight children presenting for first vaccination were randomized to receive bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immediately or later (current practice) and administration of BCG vaccine at first contact may contribute to lower mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adam Roth,Per Gustafson,Alexandro Nhaga,Queba Djana,Anja Poulsen,May-Lill Garly,Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen,Morten Sodemann,Amabelia Rodriques,Peter Aaby +9 more
TL;DR: A BCG scar is a marker of better survival among children in countries with high child mortality, and may affect the response to several major infections including malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of 50 000 IU vitamin A given with BCG vaccine on mortality in infants in Guinea-Bissau: randomised placebo controlled trial
Christine Stabell Benn,Birgitte Rode Diness,Adam Roth,Adam Roth,Ernesto Nante,Ane Bærent Fisker,Ida Maria Lisse,Maria Yazdanbakhsh,Hilton Whittle,Amabelia Rodrigues,Peter Aaby +10 more
TL;DR: Vitamin A supplementation given with BCG vaccine at birth had no significant benefit in this African setting and a global recommendation of supplementation for all newborn infants may not contribute to better survival.
