The AAT expected to increase empathy and reduce behavior problems. Participants trained dogs for one hour, twice weekly ten weeks. A control group walked but did not train the same duration. Both groups attended didactics. Of 138 participants, 117 provided complete data, 21 had some missing data imputed. Contrary...

Research into efforts to engage patients in the assessment of health-care teams is limited.

Abstract Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) for youth has the potential to benefit both physical and mental health outcomes. Yet little is known about extent which study designs in this area are aligned with established standards of intervention research. This critical review assesses current research methodologies focusing on AATs concerns. The main aims advance knowledge base empirically supported treatments identify next steps that researchers can take secure place as sound valid interventions youth.

Attrition between emergency department discharge and outpatient follow-up is well documented across a variety of pediatric ailments. Given the importance medical care lack related research in burn populations, we examined sociodemographic factors characteristics associated with adherence among patients. A retrospective review records was conducted on patient data extracted from registry database at an urban academic children's hospital over 2-year period (January 2018-December 2019). All...

Sepsis is an increasing problem in the practice of emergency medicine as prevalence and optimal care to reduce mortality requires significant resources time. Evidence-based septic shock resuscitation strategies exist, rely on appropriate recognition diagnosis, but variation adherence recommendations therefore outcomes remains. Our objective was perform a multi-institutional prospective risk-assessment, using failure mode effects criticality analysis (FMECA), identify high-risk failures ED...

Abstract Introduction Pediatric burns are typically accidental, but caused by caregiver abuse/neglect represent a significant proportion of patients. Literature on risk factors most associated with these injuries include younger age, male, African American, and larger burns. This study examined child burn injury that were Child Protective Services (CPS) involvement at an urban, academic children’s hospital.

Individuals with Fontan circulation (FC) are at high risk for physical and psychological problems. Many have poor growth, low weight gain, oxygen saturation (O2 sat). They also often learning problems, inattention, mood/anxiety disorders. Research on associations between these mental challenges is limited. This study explores potential relations among variables in a cohort FC. We hypothesize that poorer weight, O2 sat associated greater problems school, mood/anxiety, inattention. A team,...
