Early infant growth trajectories have been linked to obesity risk. The aim of this study was examine early feeding practices in association with anthropometric measures and risk overweight/obesity childhood. A total 2492 children from Upstate KIDS, a population-based longitudinal cohort, were included for the analysis. Parents reported breastfeeding complementary food introduction 4 12 months on questionnaires. Weight height at 2–3 years age during later follow-up 7–9 age. Age sex z-scores...
Compared with population-based rates, at-risk rates (ARRs) account for underlying variations of asthma prevalence. When applied geospatial analysis, ARRs may facilitate more accurate evaluations the contribution place-based social determinants health (SDOH) to pediatric morbidity. Our objectives were calculate asthma-related emergency department (ED) encounters and hospitalizations by census-tract in Washington, District Columbia (DC) evaluate their associations SDOH.This population-based,...

OBJECTIVE To describe associations between the Child Opportunity Index (COI) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome of childhood (MIS-C) diagnosis among hospitalized children. METHODS We used a retrospective case control study design to examine children ≤21 years at single, tertiary care children’s hospital March 2020 June 2021. Our population included diagnosed with MIS-C (n = 111) group for evaluation who had an alternative 61). Census tract COI was exposure variable, determined using...
High-quality nurse-physician communication during family-centered rounds (FCRs) can increase patient safety.In our hospital, interdisciplinary team members perceived that FCRs declined the COVID-19 pandemic.Using quality improvement methodology, we measured nurses' awareness of components shared mental model, attendance FCRs, compliance with completing FCR summaries, and average time spent per encounter.A structured resident huddle took place prior to an FCR. Residents used a tool send...
