Introduction Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (bronchiectasis) is an increasingly recognized but understudied disease in children. National data on this are scarce. This study aimed to describe the clinical, radiological, and microbiological characteristics of Portuguese children with bronchiectasis. Methods A retrospective observational was conducted at a tertiary pediatric pulmonology center northern Portugal. Pediatric patients diagnosed followed between July 2020 September 2023 were...
Abstract Background and Aims Emerging evidence suggests that the 4-variable Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) can be used to predict risk of graft failure in adult transplant recipients. However, research studies pediatric patients are lacking. This study aimed validate KFRE (age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio [uACR]) for prediction 2- 5-year a group patients. Method A retrospective observational involving 59 who underwent kidney...
Introduction: Recent findings suggest that the four-variable Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) may be useful in predicting likelihood of allograft failure adult kidney transplant (KT) recipients. However, research on its application pediatric patients is lacking. This study aimed to assess accuracy KFRE for prediction two-year and five-year risk a cohort KT Methods: A retrospective observational undergoing tertiary nephrology unit between 2007 2017 was conducted. The scores were determined...
Objectives − Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) requires demanding treatment in order to achieve good metabolic control. Our aim was assess whether either method of insulin administration (multiple daily administrations analogues (MDIA) or continuous subcutaneous infusion (CSII)) is associated with better health-related quality life (HRQoL).Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study. Patients aged 10-18 years disease duration at least six months were included. HRQoL assessed by having patients...
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to pose a significant health challenge globally and in Portugal. Diagnostic challenges persist, especially infants, where TB often presents with atypical symptoms. A previously healthy three-month-old male infant from Vila Nova de Famalicão, Portugal, was admitted cough, rhinorrhea, respiratory distress, high-grade fever. After chest radiography blood tests, he treated ampicillin for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Initial antibiotic therapy proved...
