Another strength is that our results provide a more complete assessment of socioeconomic inequalities in breastfeeding rates, by estimating both relative and absolute inequalities, than common practice in inequality assessments.23 Finally, our study analysed effects of the intervention not only on an immediate, direct

term positive effect, and most studies have found negative effects.17

Abstract: Sustained long -
term improvement in clinical and
cognitive outcomes after fecal microbiota transplantation in cirrhosis (3161)
«Although this was a small randomized trial, we believe it confirms that FMT from a rationally selected donor was safe and associated with substantial long -
term improvements in both clinical and
cognitive outcomes in patients with cirrhosis and recurrent HE», said Dr Bajaj.
The original, randomized, open label study, which enrolled 20 outpatient men with cirrhosis and recurrent HE receiving standard - of - care (SOC) treatment, had previously reported that a single FMT enema after antibiotic pretreatment improved
cognitive function at Day 20 and reduced HE episodes and hospitalizations over the following 5 months compared with SOC.1 The long -
term outcomes of this study, which were presented today at The International Liver Congress ™ 2018 in Paris, France, demonstrated sustained and statistically significant reductions in the number of HE episodes and hospitalizations as well as improvements in
cognitive function over 1 year in the men who received FMT compared with the control group.
The long -
term analysis of this study followed all participants from the original 5 - month study1 who were still alive and without liver transplant for an additional 6 months, assessing both
cognitive and clinical
outcomes.

Existing SNHV trials show relatively modest effects (effect sizes of 0.2 — 0.4 SDs) for
outcomes such as child mental health and behaviour, and
cognitive and language development, from infancy to mid - childhood.19 While effect sizes of 0.25 — 0.3 SDs can be meaningful and impactful at the whole of population level, 59 targeted public health interventions such as SNHV include a cost and intensity such that larger effects in the short - to - medium
term might be necessary to justify implementation at a population level.

Results of individual studies have suggested that some children who enter into intensive autism - specialized intervention services at young ages may show larger gains in
terms of
cognitive and adaptive functioning and early educational attainment than children who do not receive such services.2, — , 6 This research led to a reconceptualization of ASDs as a group of disorders marked by plasticity and heterogeneity and for which there was hope for better

Problems with communication, specifically non-verbal
cognitive ability, are a strong predictor of externalising behaviour problems.3 Children with ASD exhibit more severe internalising and externalising behaviours than non-ASD children, as well as a high prevalence of aggressive behaviour.3 These behavioural challenges can often cause caregivers more distress and mental health problems than the core ASD symptoms.4, 5 Increased child behaviour problems and parental (especially maternal) psychological distress compared with children without autism is established early in life — by the time that children are aged 5 years.6 These co-occurring, behaviour problems are of concern in early childhood because of the importance of these early years for longer
term child developmental
outcomes.7

As noted in the previous chapter, health inequalities can be fairly broadly defined to include differences in: specific health
outcomes (such as low birthweight, obesity, long -

cognitive stimulation, poor housing, lack of access to greenspace).

outcomes in three areas: pregnancy

It is certainly the case that, in the study of Lyons - Ruth and colleagues, infant
outcome in
terms of both
cognitive development and attachment security was more compromised in the context of severe, rather than mild, maternal depression.3 In addition, Campbell et al found poor infant behaviour to occur in the context of interactions with the mother where the mother was chronically, but not more briefly, depressed.12 In contrast, other studies have found adverse infant
outcome to obtain in spite of maternal remission from depression some months before the infant assessment.
