“…In this study, low birth weight, gestational age < 37 weeks, and 5-minute Apgar score < 7 were associated with hospitalization and number of hospitalizations in the first and/or second years of life. These findings are consistent with those of previous studies 12,16,18 . Children with low birth weight are more vulnerable to environmental and social factors and show greater risk of morbidity and mortality in early childhood 12,18 .…”

“…In keeping with previous studies in Pelotas 12,16 with a similar methodology to that used in this study, hospitalization in childhood, especially in the first year of life, has remained high and stable for at least three decades, at around 20%, thus corroborating the current study's findings.…”

“…As shown in other studies in different settings in Brazil 5,6,10,16,18 , Diseases of the Respiratory System (ICD-10 -chapter X) were the leading causes of hospitalization from birth to six years of age and ranked from first to third among the ten leading causes of hospitalization.…”

“…Other studies have shown the predominance of male gender in morbidity and hospitalization from diseases of the respiratory tract in childhood, with an inversion in puberty, when girls show higher incidence of hospitalization 16,17,18 . A possible explanation for this finding relates to the lower caliber of airways and immunological differences in boys during childhood and hormonal changes in girls in puberty 32 .…”

Introduction: Nursing care in the hospital environment can have an emotional impact on children and families, but humanized care has made this process less traumatic. Objective: To verify if the physiotherapist's care with the children hospitalized in a public hospital occurs in a humanized way from the perspective of the relatives. Methods: This is an observational, descriptive and quantitative study. The population was composed of 20 relatives of children under 12 years of age, hospitalized at least 24 hours, who performed at least three physiotherapy sessions. As instrument, a questionnaire elaborated by Lopes (2009) was used, adapted by the researchers. Results: The majority of the children were male (55%), mean age 03-24 months (55%), with a predominance of pneumonia (25%). The female gender (95%) was the prevalence of family members, mothers (90%), single women (40%), with ages ranging from 18 to 29 years (50%). Cardiorespiratory Measurement and guidelines (16%) were the most used physiotherapeutic procedures. The care of the physiotherapist was predominant (100%) and the use of playful care was (75%) negative. Conclusion: it was observed that the care of the physiotherapist with hospitalized children occurs in a humanized way, but leaves gaps regarding the use of playfulness.

To understand the factors upon which policies can be devised to improve the lives of children and young people, we have developed a dynamic discrete-time micro-simulation model called 'Modelling the early life-course' (MELC). MELC models child development from birth through to age 13, encompassing changes in material and family circumstances, family functioning and early education. MELC focusses on three main outcomes: health service use, early literacy, and conduct problems. A synthetic base population (n=10,000) derived from the 2006 New Zealand Census is used, and transitions through the life-course are determined from estimates derived by analysing three New Zealand child cohort studies: the Christchurch Health and Development Study, the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, and the Pacific Islands Families Study. The model has been validated against New Zealand norms for reading, general practitioner visits and hospital admissions. Three scenarios were demonstrated. First, we tested the impact of a number of putatively important factors on early literacy, and found small effects. Second, we found that halving the prevalence of single parenting reduced the prevalence of conduct problems. Third, we changed a number of material and family factors for Māori, Pacific and low-socioeconomic groups to be equal to those for the general population, and found that this produced small improvements in reading, but large reductions in conduct problems for these groups. MELC has been deployed as a user friendly desktop application at a number of New Zealand government agencies, where it can be used to test policy-relevant scenarios.
