Beliefs regarding development and early intervention among low-income African American and Hispanic mothers.
This study sought to understand the role of health beliefs in shaping maternal decisions regarding help-seeking for children with developmental delay (DD) and explore differences between African American and Hispanic mothers. Five major themes emerged describing the role of maternal health beliefs in shaping key stages of the help-seeking pathway for children with DD. Differences between African American and Hispanic mothers are also described.

Latent class analysis of neurodevelopmental deficit after exposure to anesthesia in early childhood.
Although some studies have reported an association between early exposure to anesthesia and surgery and long-term neurodevelopmental deficit, the clinical phenotype of children exposed to anesthesia is still unknown. This study’s results suggest that in evaluating children exposed to surgery and anesthesia at an early age, the phenotype of interest may be children with deficits primarily in language and cognition, and not children with broad neurodevelopmental delay or primarily behavioral deficits.

Live birth, miscarriage, and abortion among U.S. women with and without disabilities.
Researchers compared proportions of live birth, miscarriage, and abortion among women with basic action difficulties, women with complex activity limitations, and women without disabilities in a nationally representative sample. They found few differences between women with and without disabilities, and good likelihood of live birth among women with disabilities experiencing pregnancy.

Time trends in births and cesarean deliveries among women with disabilities.
This study assessed time trends in births by any mode and in primary cesarean deliveries among women with physical, sensory, or intellectual/developmental disabilities. Among all women giving birth, the proportion with a disability increased from 0.27 percent in 2000 to 0.80 percent in 2010. Women with disabilities had significantly elevated odds of primary cesarean delivery in each year, but the magnitude of the odds ratio decreased over time.

Primary cesarean delivery patterns among women with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities.
This study sought to determine whether physical, sensory, or intellectual and developmental disabilities are independently associated with primary cesarean delivery. It found that women across disability subgroups have higher odds of cesarean delivery, and there is heterogeneity by disability type.

The impact of disability and social determinants of health on condition-specific readmissions beyond Medicare risk adjustments: a cohort study.
This study assessed the impact of disability and social determinants of health on condition-specific readmissions beyond current risk adjustment. Outcomes measured were readmissions </=30 days after hospitalizations for pneumonia, heart failure, or acute myocardial infarction. The study concluded that disability and social determinants of health influence readmission risk when added to the current Medicare risk adjustment models, but the effect varies by condition.
