Clinicians often risk stratify young febrile infants for invasive bacterial infections (IBIs), defined as bacteremia and/or meningitis, using complete blood cell count parameters.To estimate the accuracy of individual parameters to identify with IBIs.Planned secondary analysis a prospective observational cohort study comprising 26 emergency departments in Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network from 2008 2013. We included (≥38°C), previously healthy, full-term younger than 60 days...
Objective To evaluate the psychometric properties of Scleroderma Skin Questionnaire (SSQ), a novel patient-reported outcome (PRO) to assess systemic sclerosis (SSc) related skin symptoms. Methods The SSQ was administered 799 adults (mean age 52.7; 82% female) enrolled in SSc Collaborative National Quality and Efficacy Registry (CONQUER). Internal consistency determined using Cronbach's α McDonald's ω total (ωt). correlation assessed with modified Rodnan Score (mRSS), Physician Global...
Large language models (LLMs) can improve text analysis efficiency in healthcare. This study explores the application of LLMs to analyze patient perspectives within exception from informed consent (EFIC) process, which waives emergency research. Our objective is assess whether EFIC interviews with performance comparable human reviewers. We analyzed 102 community 9 sites, each 46 questions, as part Pediatric Dose Optimization for Seizures Emergency Medical Services study. evaluated 5 LLMs,...
It is uncertain whether switching to frequent nocturnal hemodialysis improves cognitive function in well-dialyzed patients and how this compares who receive a kidney transplant. We conducted multicenter observational study with longitudinal follow-up of the effect on performance dialysis treatment modality from conventional thrice-weekly hemodialysis, functioning renal transplant or remaining hemodialysis. Neuropsychological tests memory, attention, psychomotor processing speed, executive...
Multicenter clinical trials play a critical role in the translational processes that enable new treatments to reach all people and improve public health. However, conducting multicenter randomized (mRCT) presents challenges. The Trial Innovation Network (TIN), established 2016 partner with Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) Consortium of academic medical institutions implementation mRCTs, consists 3 Centers (TICs) 1 Recruitment Center (RIC). This unique partnership has aimed address...
OBJECTIVES: Describe the statistical design of Personalized Immunomodulation in Sepsis-induced Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) (PRECISE) study. DESIGN: Children with sepsis-induced MODS undergo real-time immune testing followed by assignment to an immunophenotype-specific study cohort. Interventional cohorts include granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for Reversal Immunoparalysis Pediatric (GRACE)-2 trial, which uses drug GM-CSF (or placebo) reverse...
Federal regulations allow exception from informed consent (EFIC) to study emergent conditions when obtaining prospective is not feasible. Little known about public views on including children in EFIC studies. The Pediatric Dose Optimization for Seizures EMS (PediDOSE) trial implements age-based, standardized midazolam dosing pediatric seizures. primary objective of this was determine support and concerns the PediDOSE trial. secondary assess how varied by demographics.
The death rate of brain abscesses in a recently reported series is high, ranging from 36% to 50% all cases. This paper reports experiences with ten cases intracranial secondary ear and sinus infections. Six these are otitic infections three them located the cerebellum. Two cerebellar surgically drained through temporal bone by otologic surgeon, close neurosurgical cooperation. Computerized axial tomography has revolutionized treatment optimizing timing for medical surgical management.
The present study evaluated the daily risk of healthcare-associated infections and sepsis (HAIS) events in pediatric intensive care unit patients with invasive devices. This was a retrospective cohort study. Invasive devices were associated significant HAIS ( p < 0.05). Endotracheal tubes posed greatest (hazard ratio [HR]: 4.39, confidence interval [CI]: 2.59-7.46). Children both central venous catheter (CVC) urinary (UC) had over 2.5-fold increased (HR: 2.59, CI: 1.18-5.68), addition to CVC...
Dosimetry for 10-MV x rays has been extended to radiation fields smaller than 4 X cm which may be suitable therapy of small lesions, e.g., intracranial tumors, benign or malignant. Special consideration in this study was given (i) the variation dose with field size (collimator and phantom scatter), (ii) central axis percentage depth doses, (iii) moving-beam distribution. We conclude that simple dosimetric techniques can provide adequate physics background stereotaxic radiosurgery high-energy rays.
Short- and long-term functional impairment after pediatric injury may be more sensitive for measuring quality of care compared with mortality alone. The characteristics injured children adolescents who are at the highest risk unknown.To evaluate categories injuries associated higher prevalence impaired status hospital discharge among to estimate number those in these received treatment trauma centers.This prospective cohort study (Assessment Functional Outcomes Health-Related Quality Life...
It is unknown if probiotics exert pathogen-specific effects in children with diarrhea secondary to acute gastroenteritis.
Following a child playground equipment injury prevention project conducted in New York State 1977, there was 42 per cent reduction hazards, and 22.4 related injuries treated the two largest hospitals of one program sites. Knowledge about unsafe practices hazards improved after workshops for personnel. This approach to deserves further study.
Trauma is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children United States. The antifibrinolytic drug tranexamic acid (TXA) improves survival adults with traumatic hemorrhage, however, has not been evaluated a clinical trial severely injured children. We designed Traumatic Injury Clinical Trial Evaluating Tranexamic Acid Children (TIC-TOC) to evaluate feasibility conducting confirmatory that evaluates effects TXA severe trauma hemorrhagic injuries. evidence torso or brain injuries will...
Objective The study aimed to determine if a program of mid-trimester serum proteomics screening women at low risk for spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) and the use PTB risk-reduction protocol in those whose results indicated an increased sPTB would reduce likelihood its sequelae. Study Design Prospective comparison outcomes singleton pregnancies with cervical length ≥2.5 cm otherwise randomized undergo or not (NCT 03530332). Screen-positive were offered group interventions reducing PTB....
Introduction: Increasing patients' physical activity levels holds many opportunities to facilitate health and well-being among those with heart failure (HF) by improving HF symptoms decreasing depression pain. Given low exercise participation rates, an essential first step increase rates is evaluate how pain may further influence engagement in programs. Aims: The aims of this study were describe the level that patients achieve investigate relationships pain, depression, total time, sitting...
OBJECTIVES: To determine the time to positivity for bacterial pathogens and contaminants in blood cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures a cohort of febrile infants ≤60 days age. METHODS: This was secondary analysis prospective observational multicenter study noncritically ill age with temperatures ≥38°C (December 2008 May 2013). The main outcome contaminants. RESULTS: A total 256 303 (84.49%) patients positive cultures, 73 88 (82.95%) CSF met inclusion criteria. Median (interquartile range...
