Randomized Trial of BCG Vaccination at Birth to Low-Birth-Weight Children: Beneficial Nonspecific Effects in the Neonatal Period?
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
Vitamin A supplementation and BCG vaccination at birth in low birthweight neonates: two by two factorial randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: The combined results of this trial and the complementary trial among normal birthweight neonates have now shown that, overall, it would not be beneficial to implement a neonatal vitamin A supplementation policy in Guinea-Bissau.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccination associated with higher female mortality and no difference in male mortality in a cohort of low birthweight children: an observational study within a randomised trial
Peter Aaby,Henrik Ravn,Adam Roth,Amabelia Rodrigues,Ida Maria Lisse,Birgitte Rode Diness,Karen Rokkedal Lausch,Najaaraq Lund,Julie Rasmussen,Sofie Biering-Sørensen,Hilton Whittle,Christine Stabell Benn +11 more
TL;DR: Even though the children with the best nutritional status were vaccinated early, early DTP vaccination was associated with increased mortality for girls, and small mid-upper arm circumference was the strongest predictor of mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two different doses of supplemental vitamin A did not affect mortality of normal-birth-weight neonates in Guinea-Bissau in a randomized controlled trial
Christine Stabell Benn,Christine Stabell Benn,Birgitte Rode Diness,Ibraima Balde,Amabelia Rodrigues,Karen Rokkedal Lausch,Cesario Martins,Ane Bærent Fisker,Peter Aaby +8 more
TL;DR: It is observed that a smaller dose of vitamin A may decrease mortality more than a larger dose and conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Guinea-Bissau with the primary aim of comparing the effect of 50,000 with 25,000 IU neonatal vitamin A on infant mortality.

Christine Stabell Benn,Birgitte Rode Diness,Ibraima Balde,Amabelia Rodrigues,Karen Rokkedal Lausch,Cesário Lourenco Martins,Ane Fisker,Peter Aaby +7 more
TL;DR: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in Guinea-Bissau with the primary aim of comparing the effect of 50,000 with 25,000 IU neonatal vitamin A on infant mortality as discussed by the authors.
