Myocarditis or pericarditis events after BNT162b2 vaccination in individuals aged 12 to 17 years in Ontario, Canada

7 Mar, 2023 | 13:13h | UTC

Summary:

A population-based cohort study was conducted to estimate the incidence of reported myocarditis or pericarditis after BNT162b2 vaccination in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years in Ontario, Canada, and to describe the clinical information associated with these events. The study analyzed data from 1.65 million doses of BNT162b2 vaccinations administered between December 14, 2020, and November 21, 2021.

According to the study, 77 adolescents were reported to have developed myocarditis or pericarditis after receiving the vaccine, and there was a greater occurrence of these events among those aged 16 to 17 years compared to those aged 12 to 15 years. Additionally, adolescents with shorter intervals between vaccine doses had a higher incidence of myocarditis or pericarditis.

Most cases of myocarditis and pericarditis were mild, and the adolescents required either no treatment or were treated conservatively with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Maternal diabetes and overweight as risk factors for congenital heart defects in offspring – A nationwide register study from Finland

3 Mar, 2023 | 13:51h | UTC

Summary: The study aimed to determine the association between maternal diabetes and overweight/obesity and the risk of congenital heart defects (CHDs) in offspring. The study analyzed data from all children born in Finland between 2006 and 2016 and their mothers. Maternal type 1 diabetes (T1DM) was found to be associated with a significantly increased risk for any CHD, with an odds ratio of 3.71, whereas maternal overweight and obesity were associated with only a slightly increased risk for complex defects and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Maternal diabetes was responsible for 3.0% of offspring’s CHD, while maternal overweight and obesity were responsible for 0.7%, indicating weaker associations between maternal overweight and obesity and CHD in the offspring than previously reported.
