Background: Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is a triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and respiratory distress. There no standard clinical classification used in the management neonatal airway patients with PRS. The goal our study was to review presentation PRS formulate grading system treatment algorithm. Methods: A 10-year retrospective all neonates diagnosed performed after obtaining institutional ethics approval. Patients were identified using cleft lip palate program database. Inclusion...
Abstract Introduction Violence against women is pervasive. An estimated one in four aged over 15 years old this country have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner. Recent high-profile cases of homicidal burn perpetrated shocked the nation. Since 2012, Counting Dead Women project has tallied 30 whose deaths involved fire-related violence. Currently however, there a paucity evidence about frequency and burden population. The aim study was to describe compare frequency,...
Abstract Introduction The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates one in three women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner. Very little is known about the burden of burn against women. Emerging evidence suggests who experience are young, sustain severe injuries and high mortality. Individual centers around world contributed data to publicly accessible WHO’s Global Burn Registry (GBR) since 2017, that includes information household intentional flame...
Abstract Introduction Burn registries systematically collect burn-specific data to better understand the epidemiology, clinical care and outcomes. However, there is a gap in regarding outcomes as patients transition from inpatient outpatient care. Collecting burn injury-related post-discharge can inform clinicians improve long-term In January 2024, American Association’s Care Quality Platform (BCQP) implemented variables for (LTO) transitioning follow-up after discharge. Methods The period 1...
Abstract Background Burn registries play a crucial role in enhancing the understanding of burn epidemiology and improving clinical care. However, they often lack comprehensive data on post-discharge outcomes when patients transition to outpatient This study aimed initiate expansion American Association's registry include long-term for receiving follow-up post-discharge. Materials Methods The Quality Registry (QBR) Outpatient Work Group identified nine key outcomes—five four psychosocial—to...
Creating a youthful appearing umbilicus as part of an abdominoplasty enhances the overall result. Various different methods have been reported producing equally good results.Twenty-five patients undergoing were divided into two groups: 12 had round umbilicoplasty and 13 inverted U flap inset. Three independent surgeons assessed aesthetic outcome techniques in specially designed clinics by using four-point ordinal scales, which also used for subjective self-assessment.Surgical assessment...
<h3>Importance</h3> Orofacial cleft (OFC) is one of the most common congenital malformations, with a wide variation in incidence worldwide. However, population-based studies on OFC North America are lacking. <h3>Objectives</h3> To examine Ontario, Canada, and to compare risk factors mortality associated children vs without OFC. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective cohort study used health administrative data from province Canada. Children who were born April 1, 1994,...
The CLEFT-Q includes 12 independently functioning scales that measure appearance (face, nose, nostrils, teeth, lips, jaws), health-related quality of life (psychological, social, school, speech distress), and function, an eating/drinking checklist. Previous qualitative research revealed the has content validity in noncleft craniofacial conditions. This study aimed to examine psychometric performance international sample patients with a broad range facial conditions.Data were collected...
Hand injuries are common in children. Most simple pediatric hand fractures do not require surgery and can be treated with protective immobilization, yielding good outcomes. A recent institutional audit revealed significant practice variation managing these children many being overtreated unnecessary follow-up visits. The objective of this study was to implement assess a streamlined care pathway manage "simple" minimize healthcare utilization.
Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) is a clinical entity newly identified in 2003 that caused by mutation of the RASA-1 gene, which encodes protein p120-RasGAP. To date, most reports on CM-AVM literature involve samples entirely consisting Caucasians European and North American descent, while from China or East Asia are few. Here, we describe genetic report CM-AVM. Sequencing revealed novel stop gene causing loss function (LOF) RasGAP domain. our knowledge, this first...
The FACE-Q Craniofacial Module is a patient-reported outcome measure designed for patients aged 8 to 29 years with conditions associated facial difference. In part 1, we describe the psychometric findings original CLEFT-Q scales tested in cleft and noncleft conditions. aim of this study was examine performance new scales.Data were collected between December 2016 2019 from visible or functional Rasch measurement theory (RMT) analysis used properties each scale. Scores transformed 0 (worst)...
Purpose: Herein, the authors aim to describe their findings of novel architectural types lymphatic malformations (LM) and explain relationship between these architectures OK-432 treatment outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted all patients diagnosed with a LM treated at Vascular Anomalies Clinic BC Children's Hospital from December 2002 January 2012. Results: Twenty-seven were included in study. Sixty percent lesions present by 2 years age majority located head neck (59%)....
Scalds represent the most frequent pediatric burn injury. Inpatient nonsurgical wound management of small or medium-size burns (<20% total body surface area) represents a significant proportion cost care, with nanocrystalline silver (NCS) and sulphadiazine (SSD) among commonly used dressings. Although several articles have described healing outcomes using these dressings, there are few concurrent economic analyses. To analyze overall health care value (outcomes/cost) in not requiring...
