To determine the effectiveness of developmental screening on identification delays, early intervention (EI) referrals, and EI eligibility.This randomized controlled, parallel-group trial was conducted from December 2008 to June 2010 in 4 urban pediatric practices. Children were eligible if they <30 months old, term, without congenital malformations or genetic syndromes, not foster care, enrolled EI. receive 1 following: (1) using Ages Stages Questionnaire-II (ASQ-II Modified Checklist for...
Motion correction is the first step in a pipeline of algorithms to analyze calcium imaging videos and extract biologically relevant information, for example network structure neurons therein. Fast motion especially critical closed-loop activity triggered stimulation experiments, where accurate detection targeting specific cells necessary. We introduce novel motion-correction algorithm which uses Fourier-transform approach, combination judicious downsampling accelerated computation many L 2...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the rate severe cardiovascular events and death in children who use attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications versus nonusers. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a large cohort using data from 2 administrative databases. All aged 3 17 years with prescription for an amphetamine, atomoxetine, or methylphenidate were included matched up 4 nonusers on basis source, gender, state, age. Cardiovascular validated medical...
Asthma continues to be 1 of the most common chronic diseases childhood and affects approximately 6 million US children. Although National Education Prevention Program guidelines exist are widely accepted, previous studies have demonstrated poor clinician adherence across a variety populations. We sought determine if clinical decision support (CDS) embedded in an electronic health record (EHR) would improve national asthma primary care setting.We conducted prospective cluster-randomized trial...

Methylphenidate treatment of ADHD in adults was associated with an increase sudden death from ventricular arrhythmia, 1 per 1,000 person-years to 2 deaths. The effect more marked at lower rather than higher doses, suggesting that doses may have been prescribed individuals preexisting cardiovascular risk factors. There no strokes or myocardial infarctions.
OBJECTIVE: The goal was to compare how parents and clinicians understand shared decision-making (SDM) in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a prototype for SDM pediatrics. METHODS: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 60 of children 6 12 years age ADHD (50% black 43% college educated) 30 primary care varying experience. Open-ended explored pediatric understood ADHD. Interviews were taped, transcribed, then coded. Data analyzed by using modified grounded theory approach....
OBJECTIVES: To identify patterns of shared decision-making (SDM) among a nationally representative sample US children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or asthma and determine if demographics, health status, access to care are associated SDM. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed cross-sectional study the 2002–2006 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, which represents 2 million ADHD 4 asthma. The outcome, high SDM, was defined by using latent class models based on 7 Survey items...

Methods Parents of young children clinicians at four practices participated focus groups prior implementation screening. Participants were queried regarding attitudes, social norms, barriers Using information from the groups, workflow developed implementing Referral rates satisfaction with gathered conclusion. Results Six parents conducted. Major themes...
Abstract Although primary care practices and schools are major venues for the delivery of mental health services to children, these systems disconnected, contributing fragmentation in service delivery. This paper describes barriers collaboration across school systems, including administrative fiscal pressures, conceptual linguistic differences between educational professionals, role restrictions among privacy laws. Strategies overcoming barriers, which can be applied both settings, described...
<h3>Importance</h3> Early identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with improved cognitive and behavioral outcomes. Targeted strategies are needed to support equitable access diagnostic services ensure that children from low-income racial/ethnic minority families receive the benefits early ASD treatment. <h3>Objective</h3> To test efficacy family navigation (FN), an individually tailored, culturally informed care management strategy, increase likelihood achieving...
To understand the association between shared decision-making (SDM) and health care expenditures use among children with special needs (CSHCN).We identified CSHCN <18 years in 2002-2006 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey by using Screener. Outcomes included (total, out-of-pocket, office-based, inpatient, emergency department [ED], prescription) utilization (hospitalization, ED office visit, prescription rates). The main exposure was pattern of SDM over 2 study (increasing, decreasing, or...
