Long-term Outcome. People live active, healthier and independent lives. What success will be like in 10 years People are active and healthier across all dimensions of health and wellbeing. Those who are older, living with long term conditions or vulnerable are increasingly being supported to maintain their independence for as long as they choose. Life expectancy is still above the Scottish average with increasing healthy life expectancy. The health outcomes for those living in our most deprived communities are closer to those of our most affluent areas. Communities are active in co-producing the services they have aspirations for. People lead more active healthier lives through increased participation in sport and physical activity. This is the progress we expect to make in 3 years Continuing to be above the Scottish average in terms of life expectancy and healthy life expectancy. Work in place to reduce health inequalities and targeted to those most in need. Older people reporting that they feel supported to live independently where they choose. More people with health and care needs live at home or a homely setting. Fewer emergency admissions of older people.

Long-term Outcome. With the improvements in antenatal and neonatal management over the past decades, survival has significantly improved in HDFN. As mortality rates lower, attention is shifting towards the long-term outcome in the surviving neonates. Adverse prenatal conditions including impaired foetal nutrition and growth can have a profound and long-lasting impact on physical and mental health throughout life, for example increased risk of cardiovascular disease, neuropsychological disorders and metabolic disease.93,94 The impact of severe foetal and neonatal anaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia and of the (invasive) procedures and treatments foetuses and neonates with HDFN are exposed to is unknown, but seems to justify long-term follow-up studies as current data is limited.95 Long-term outcome after IUT A large long-term follow-up study in our centre, the LOTUS study (Long-Term follow-up after intra-Uterine transfusionS), was performed to determine the incidence of neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in children treated with IUT for HDFN (between 1988 and 2008). A total of 291 children were studied at a median age of 8.2 years. NDI was defined as the presence of one or more of the following: cerebral palsy, severe developmental delay, bilateral blindness, and/or deafness. The incidence of severe NDI was 3.1%, comparable to the Dutch normative population (2.3%). The overall rate of NDI was 4.8% (14/291). In a multivariate regression analysis, the number of IUTs, severe neonatal morbidity, parental education and severe prenatal hydrops were independent risk factors associated with NDI.96 Health-related quality of life and behavioural functioning in 285 children and adolescents treated with IUT for alloimmune anaemia was recently assessed at our centre.97 Parents reported lower scores on cognitive functioning in their children aged 6-11 years compared to Dutch norms. Behavioural difficulties were more prevalent than norms and associated with maternal educational level. Overall, in the majority of survivors, long-term outcomes following IUT for alloimmune anaemia appear favourable. Hypothetically, the chronic anaemia caused by immune haemolysis in the foetus results in the need for increased cardiac output and may lead to myocardial hypertrophy. Limited data show that HDFN treated with IUT may lead to less myocardial mass in childhood, but the long-term cardiovascular consequences in adult life are unknown.95 However, very recently, a retrospective cohort study by Xxxxxxx et al. wa...
