Brian M. D’Onofrio,Quetzal A. Class,Martin E. Rickert,Henrik Larsson,Niklas Långström,Paul Lichtenstein +5 more
TLDR
The associations between early gestation and mortality and psychiatric morbidity generally were robust when comparing differentially exposed siblings and controlling for statistical covariates, whereas the associations with academic and some social problems were greatly or completely attenuated in the fixed-effects models.Abstract:
Importance: Preterm birth is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. However, previous studies have been unable to rigorously examine whether confounding factors cause these associations ...read more

Paternal age at childbearing and offspring psychiatric and academic morbidity.
Brian M. D’Onofrio,Martin E. Rickert,Emma M. Frans,Ralf Kuja-Halkola,Catarina Almqvist,Catarina Almqvist,Arvid Sjölander,Henrik Larsson,Paul Lichtenstein +8 more
TL;DR: In the study population, advancing paternal age was associated with increased risk of some psychiatric disorders but decreased risk of the other indexes of morbidity, consistent with the hypothesis that new genetic mutations during spermatogenesis are causally related to offspring morbidity.

Breastfeeding and Childhood Asthma: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: A positive association of breastfeeding with reduced asthma/wheezing is supported by the combined evidence of existing studies, and the strong protective association found at ages 0-2 years diminished over time.

The Infancy of the Human Brain.
TL;DR: Study of the strengths and limitations of early learning, and of brain dynamics in relation to regional maturational stages, promise to yield a better understanding of the sources of human cognitive achievements.

Preterm Birth and Poor Fetal Growth as Risk Factors of Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder.
Minna Sucksdorff,Liisa Lehtonen,Roshan Chudal,Auli Suominen,Petteri Joelsson,Mika Gissler,Andre Sourander +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that each gestational week has significance for child’s subsequent neurodevelopment and risk for ADHD and showed that poor fetal growth increased the risk of ADHD.

Associations of Maternal Antidepressant Use During the First Trimester of Pregnancy With Preterm Birth, Small for Gestational Age, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Offspring.

TL;DR: First-trimester exposure to antidepressants, compared with no exposure, was associated with a small increased risk of preterm birth but no increasedrisk of small for gestational age, autism spectrum disorder, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Generalized Causal Inference
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present experiments and generalized Causal inference methods for single and multiple studies, using both control groups and pretest observations on the outcome of the experiment, and a critical assessment of their assumptions.

Epidemiology and causes of preterm birth
TL;DR: A short cervical length and a raised cervical-vaginal fetal fibronectin concentration are the strongest predictors of spontaneous preterm birth.

Fixed Effects Regression Models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce linear fixed effects models with fixed effects logistic models for counting data and fixed effect models for events history data for counting and event history data, respectively.

Cognitive and behavioral outcomes of school-aged children who were born preterm: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Children who were born preterm are at risk for reduced cognitive test scores and their immaturity at birth is directly proportional to the mean cognitive scores at school age.

Common genetic determinants of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in Swedish families: a population-based study.

TL;DR: Evidence is shown that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder partly share a common genetic cause, which is consistent with a reappraisal of these disorders as distinct diagnostic entities.
