Here at Agave Pediatrics, we seek to support the healthy growth and development of our patients, but also strive to support the growth and development of our local community. One of the ways in which we do this is by providing research opportunities to students at Arizona State University (ASU).
A research project using de-identified data of 928 breastfeeding mother-infant dyads diagnosed with ankyloglossia (tongue tie) was recently completed at ASU. The study investigated the relationship between age, the incidence of tongue tie, and improvement of maternal and infant symptoms following frenectomy.
The results showed that infant age had different effects on the likelihood of maternal and infant symptom improvements, and that the appearance/classification of the tongue tie is not correlated with the severity of symptoms. This is in line with our approach of addressing functional impairments rather than appearance alone. Future research suggested by the team at ASU includes the development of a better diagnostic tool for tongue tie as well as a prospective study on the effects of frenectomy on breastfeeding symptoms. We are happy to be able to say that these research projects are already underway, and should be published in the near future.
The ASU poster for the study can be seen below.
Thank you to the researchers at ASU for all your work!
It's wonderful to see Agave Pediatrics actively supporting both the health of its patients and the local community through such meaningful research collaborations with Arizona State University (ASU). The study on ankyloglossia and its effects on breastfeeding mother-infant dyads is fascinating, especially the finding that infant age impacts symptom improvements following frenectomy. I particularly appreciate how the research emphasizes addressing functional impairments rather than focusing solely on appearance. It's exciting to hear that future studies are already in the works, and I look forward to reading more about the upcoming developments in diagnostic tools and prospective studies. Keep up the amazing work! If you're as intrigued as I am about solutions blog, I highly recommend checking out my latest blog post
It's great to see Agave Pediatrics supporting both the growth of your patients and the local community through collaboration with Arizona State University. The research on ankyloglossia and its impact on maternal and infant symptoms is incredibly insightful. It’s fascinating that infant age plays such a key role in symptom improvement after frenectomy and that appearance alone doesn’t determine severity, highlighting the importance of focusing on functional impairments. The upcoming studies on diagnostic tools and the effects of frenectomy on breastfeeding will surely contribute to advancing care for mothers and infants. I'm excited to see these new developments in the near future! If you're as intrigued as I am about solutions blog, I highly recommend checking out my latest blog post. McAfee…
It's great to see how Agave Pediatrics is not only focused on the health and well-being of patients but also actively contributing to the development of the local community through research opportunities. The study conducted with ASU on the relationship between age, tongue tie (ankyloglossia), and breastfeeding outcomes is fascinating. The findings that infant age impacts symptom improvement and that the appearance of the tongue tie doesn't necessarily correlate with the severity of symptoms are valuable insights. I'm excited to hear that further research is underway, and I look forward to seeing how these studies will enhance our understanding of frenectomy and its effects on breastfeeding. Keep up the fantastic work! If you're as intrigued as I am about solutions blog,…
It's wonderful to see how Agave Pediatrics is not only dedicated to the growth and development of its young patients but also actively contributing to advancing medical knowledge through research collaborations. The study conducted at ASU on the relationship between tongue tie (ankyloglossia) and breastfeeding symptoms is particularly insightful. It's encouraging to see that the research findings align with a more functional, patient-centered approach, focusing on symptom improvements rather than just appearance. The ongoing research and the development of a better diagnostic tool are exciting steps forward for both healthcare providers and families. I look forward to reading the upcoming publications from these studies! If you're as intrigued as I am about solutions blog, I highly recommend checking out my latest…
It's wonderful to see Agave Pediatrics supporting both the health and development of its patients and contributing to the local community by collaborating with Arizona State University on meaningful research projects. The recent study on ankyloglossia and breastfeeding is particularly fascinating, and the results regarding infant age and symptom improvements post-frenectomy provide valuable insights. It's encouraging to hear that future research is already in the works, and I look forward to seeing how these studies further advance the understanding and treatment of tongue tie. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing this important research! If you're as intrigued as I am about solutions blog, I highly recommend checking out my latest blog post.
