We aim to describe the demographics, clinical presentation, hospital course, and severity of pediatric inpatients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an emphasis on healthy, immunocompromised, chronically ill children.
Abstract Background While much has been reported regarding the clinical course of COVID-19 in children, little is known factors associated with organ dysfunction pediatric COVID-19. We describe critical illness patients active and identify PICU admission dysfunction. This a retrospective chart review 77 age 1 day to 21 years admitted two New York City hospitals within Northwell Health system between February April 24, 2020 PCR + SARS-CoV-2. Descriptive statistics were used hospital...
We describe 3 febrile infants <2 months of age admitted to a large tertiary care children’s hospital in New York and subsequently found be infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. All patients presented fever, feeding difficulty, lymphopenia, thrombocytosis on laboratory evaluation. Two the were have neutropenia, 2 had known exposures sick contacts. In this case series, we youngest reported United States.
The COVID-19 pandemic has provided challenges to all healthcare workers. While the brunt of treating patients fell upon adult providers, pediatricians also experienced significant stressors and disruptions. Academic trainees (fellows residents) were redeployed manage in hospitalist intensive care settings and/or had major changes their clinical schedules. In this study, we aimed describe levels self-reported depression, anxiety, burnout pediatric physicians following initial wave at largest...
Abstract Childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD) is a heterogeneous group of diffuse diseases that can be challenging to diagnose. With relative rarity individual entities, data are limited on prevalence, care patterns, and healthcare utilization. The objective this study was evaluate chILD prevalence review diagnostic clinical patterns at our center. A single‐center, retrospective cohort conducted patients receiving the Children's Hospital Philadelphia (CHOP) between 1 January 2019 31...
Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are chronic diseases that disproportionately affect children with sickle cell disease (SCD). The literature describes the negative impact both conditions have on SCD separately; however, effect of OSA asthmatic is less specific. We hypothesized presence in asthma associated specific hematologic markers, worse clinical outcomes, greater healthcare utilization.We retrospectively evaluated who underwent polysomnography (PSG). assessed their demographic...
Abstract The profoundly hypoxemic child presents an interesting set of diagnostic and management challenges in the pediatric emergency department. While common pathologies including pneumonia, asthma, bronchiolitis, pneumothoraces are managed using evidence-based algorithms, more enigmatic may present treating physician with less therapeutic clarity. We case a 16-year-old girl who presented minimal distress, oxyhemoglobin saturation 63% on room air.
Abstract Objective Although positive airway pressure (PAP) is effective for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in infants, there a lack of data on caregivers' experiences administering PAP at home. Understanding perspectives may change health care professionals approach to initiation. Our study aimed gain comprehensive insight into beliefs, perceptions, and challenges associated with implementing infants OSA, considering the transition from inpatient hospitalization Methods In this...
Abstract Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) are living longer and subsequently more apt to develop cardiopulmonary dysfunction. N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) levels have been used in adults SCD assess for pulmonary hypertension mortality. While the incidence of PH is low pediatrics, it reasonable presume that NT‐proBNP can be risk development morbidity. We hypothesized would increased patients compared age‐adjusted healthy children; additionally, these associated...
Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the second line of treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children. It common practice following initiation PAP to perform repeat titration polysomnography re-evaluate patient's therapeutic pressure; however, data supporting this are lacking. We hypothesized that would result significant setting changes children with syndrome.We retrospectively analyzed demographic, polysomnographic, and aged 0-18 years who were initiated on underwent 2 studies...
