URTI Upper Respiratory Tract infection; LRTI Lower Respiratory Tract
Infection; PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction; UTI Urinary Tract Infection
Including results from both community-based PCR testing and CORAL
appointment antibody testing 16/344 (4.7%) CORAL infants had been
diagnosed with SARS-2-CoV by 12 months. Despite the second and third
waves prior to 12-month appointments, antibody positivity remained low
in infants at 11/344 (3%).
Return to work was reported by 227/344 (66%) of mothers at 12-month
review. This included mothers who returned to work from home. The infant
age at return ranged from 2 to 12 months (Mean age 9.1 months). There is
a statistically significant difference in breastfeeding between working
and non-working mothers at 12 months (p <0.001). Infants
of mothers who have returned to work were more than twice as likely to
be formula fed at 12 months (odds ratio 2.29; CI 95% (1.44-3.64).
