Health related quality of life after extremely preterm birth: a matched controlled cohort study
Vederhus, Bente Johanne; Markestad, Trond; Eide, Geir Egil; Graue, Marit; Halvorsen, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05-23)Background: The majority of infants born before the last trimester now grow up. However, knowledge on subsequent health related quality of life (HRQoL) is scarce. We therefore aimed to compare HRQoL in children born extremely ... -

Vederhus, Bente Johanne; Eide, Geir Egil; Natvig, Gerd Karin; Markestad, Trond; Graue, Marit; Halvorsen, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-20)Background: Knowledge of long-term health related outcomes in contemporary populations born extremely preterm (EP) is scarce.We aimed to explore developmental trajectories of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and ... -
Is consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks during pregnancy associated with birth weight?
Grundt, Jacob Holter; Eide, Geir Egil; Brantsæter, Anne Lise; Haugen, Margaretha; Markestad, Trond (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)In Norway, there were parallel increases and subsequent decreases in birth weight (BW) and consumption of sugar-sweetened carbonated soft drinks (SSC) during the period 1990–2010, and by an ecological approach, we have ... -
Lung function at term in extremely preterm-born infants: A regional prospective cohort study
Bentsen, Mariann; Markestad, Trond; Øymar, Knut; Halvorsen, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Objectives: To compare lung function of extremely preterm (EP)-born infants with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with that of healthy term-born infants, and to determine which perinatal characteristics were ... -
Motor development related to duration of exclusive breastfeeding, B vitamin status and B12 supplementation in infants with a birth weight between 2000-3000 g, results from a randomized intervention trial
Torsvik, Ingrid Kristin; Ueland, Per Magne; Markestad, Trond; Midttun, Øivind; Monsen, Anne-Lise Bjørke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-18)Background: Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is assumed to ensure adequate micronutrients for term infants.
