Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a mesenchymal neoplasm of intermediate malignancy. We describe the largest cohort IMT patients to date, aiming further characterize this rare, poorly understood tumor. This multi-institutional review ≤39 years, from 2000 2018, at 18 hospitals in Pediatric Surgical Oncology Research Collaborative. One hundred and eighty-two were identified with median age 11 years. Thirty-three percent tumors thoracic origin. Presenting signs/symptoms included pain...
Objective: To determine whether hospital- and surgeon-level operative volumes are associated with differences in postoperative outcomes among infants undergoing elective lung surgery for a congenital malformation (CLM). Summary Background Data: Infant is relatively uncommon procedure performed by pediatric surgeons nationwide. The relationship between surgical volume remains unknown. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of asymptomatic who underwent resection CLM was conducted using the...
Importance There is some data to suggest that racial and ethnic minority infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have poorer clinical outcomes. Objective To determine what patient- institutional-level factors are associated differences in CDH mortality. Design, Setting, Participants Multicenter cohort study of 49 US children’s hospitals using the Pediatric Health Information System database from January 1, 2015, December 31, 2020. were patients admitted on day life 0 who underwent...
Abstract Background Socioeconomic and health care coverage disparities are established as poor prognostic markers in adults with sarcoma, but few studies examine these differences among pediatric, adolescents young (AYA). This study examines the association between socioeconomic status (SES), insurance status, disease presentation children AYA patients sarcoma. Methods is a retrospective cohort of aged 0‐25 years bone or soft tissue sarcoma from National Cancer Database. SES assignments were...
Introduction Trauma patients have diverse resource needs due to variable mechanisms and injury patterns. The aim of this study was build a tool that uses only data available at time admission predict prolonged hospital length stay (LOS). Methods Data collected from the trauma registry an urban level one adult center included 1/1/2014 3/31/2019. with or fewer days LOS were excluded. Single layer deep artificial neural networks trained identify in top quartile optimized on area under receiver...
Clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue (CCS), epithelioid sarcoma, and synovial are rare tumors historically identified as high risk for lymph node metastasis. This study investigates incident nodal metastasis associated survival in children young adults with these subtypes.Using the National Cancer Database (2004-2015), we created a retrospective cohort 1303 patients (aged ≤25 years) who underwent local control therapy CCS, sarcoma. Kaplan-Meier curves estimated overall (OS) by subtype....

Background: Clear cell sarcoma (CCS), epithelioid sarcoma, and synovial are rare tumors historically identified as high risk for lymph node metastasis. Nodal metastasis in adults with these subtypes has been described. This study investigates incident nodal associated survival children subtypes. Procedure: Using the National Cancer Database (2004-2015), we created a retrospective cohort of 1303 patients (aged ≤25 years) who underwent local control therapy CCS, sarcoma. Kaplan-Meier curves...
