Tracking of lung function from 10 to 35 years after being born extremely preterm or with extremely low birth weight Open
Background Lifelong pulmonary consequences of being born extremely preterm or with extremely low birth weight remain unknown. We aimed to describe lung function trajectories from 10 to 35 years of age for individuals born extremely preterm…
Modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for obstetric anal sphincter injury in a Norwegian Region: a case–control study Open
Background Obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) is a common and severe complication of vaginal delivery and may have short- and long-term consequences, including anal incontinence, sexual dysfunction and reduced quality of life. The rate…
Modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for obstetric anal sphincter injury in a Norwegian Region: A case-control study. Open

Psychological health in preschool children with underweight, overweight or obesity: a regional cohort study Open
Objective To examine if underweight (UW), overweight (OW) or obesity (OB), or body mass index (BMI) expressed as its SD score (BMI SDS), were associated with psychological difficulties in preschool children. Design Regional cohort study. S…
Voice and Exercise Related Respiratory Symptoms in Extremely Preterm Born Children After Neonatal Patent Ductus Arteriosus Open
Objective: To investigate voice characteristics and exercise related respiratory symptoms in extremely preterm born 11-year-old children, focusing particularly on associations with management of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Study desi…
Sex-related change in BMI of 15- to 16-year-old Norwegian girls in cross-sectional studies in 2002 and 2017 Open
Background The prevalence of overweight and obesity (OWOB) has stabilized in some countries, but a portion of children with high body mass index (BMI) may have become heavier. This study aimed to describe the distributions of BMI and the p…

Parent psychological wellbeing in a single-family room versus an open bay neonatal intensive care unit Open
The lower depression scores by the mothers and lower parental stress scores during hospitalization for both parents supports that single-family rooms care contribute to parents' psychological wellbeing.
A family‐oriented intervention programme to curtail obesity from five years of age had no effect over no intervention Open
Aim To examine the effect of a family‐oriented multidisciplinary intervention programme to curtail weight increase in young children with obesity. Methods Children who weighed more than one kilogram above the 97th percentile for height at …
Sleep problems, behavioural problems and respiratory health in children born extremely preterm: a parental questionnaire study Open
Objective To explore whether children born extremely preterm (EPT) with different types of sleep problems had more behavioural and respiratory health problems than EPT children without sleep problems. Design Prospective, nationwide, questi…
No significant associations between breastfeeding practices and overweight in 8‐year‐old children Open
Aim The aim was to examine if breastfeeding practices were associated with body mass index (BMI) and risk of overweight or obesity in third grade (8 years) of elementary school. Methods In a regional cohort, we related BMI z ‐scores and pr…
Comparison of physical activity and body compA validated question from the osition in a cohort of children born extremely preterm or with extremely low birth weight to matched term-born controls: a follow-up study Open
Objectives To compare physical activity and body composition in a cohort of children born extremely preterm/extremely low birth weight (EP/ELBW) with term-born (TB) controls. Methods A regional cohort of children born during 1999–2000 at g…

Objective: Infants born with gestation-related risks (low birth weight (LBW), small for gestational age (SGA), and prematurely born infants) are faced with a cascade of developmental issues. The aim of this study was to investigate whether…
Renal function and blood pressure in 11 year old children born extremely preterm or small for gestational age Open
Children born EP/ELBW, particularly those born SGA, had impaired renal function at age 11 years as judged from estimated GFRs and plasma levels of SDMA. Since reduced renal function is associated with an increased risk of later disease, th…
