ABSTRACT Background Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, with about half of cases classified as high risk. Treatment varies by risk level, high‐risk patients undergoing aggressive multimodal therapy. While long‐term survival has improved, survivors face significant risks late treatment effects, including adrenal insufficiency. This study investigates incidence insufficiency among neuroblastoma varying disease Procedure retrospective cohort at a single...
Abstract Introduction Pediatric patients are at greater risk of developing shock during initial burn resuscitation than adult due to higher body-surface-area for size. Judicious use fluids is crucial decrease mortality and morbidity. To excessive crystalloid volume resuscitation, our center created a guideline in 2015 deemed difficult resuscitate, which replaces 1/3 the lactated ringer hourly infusion rate with 5% albumin. Methods We retrospectively reviewed admitted American Burn...
Summary Abnormal CD4/CD8 ratios and T-cell function have previously been shown in patients with B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL). We demonstrated that CD4+ T cells containing both serine esterase perforin (PF) are increased the blood of these patients. Using flow cytometry, we PF+ were CD57+ but lacked expression CD28, suggesting a mature population. The same phenotype CD8+ is characteristic cytotoxic cells. However, contrast to cells, more frequently CD45RO positive than CD45RA...
We examined rates of upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) procedures in a multi-institutional cohort neonates with esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) to estimate secondary UADT pathology.A retrospective study was performed using previously-validated population patients EA/TEF within the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) between 2007 and 2015. ICD-9/10-CM codes for were from 2020: 1) diagnostic direct laryngoscopy and/or bronchoscopy (DLB), 2) DLB intervention, 3)...
A length of stay (LOS) one day per percent total body surface area (TBSA) burn has been generally accepted but not validated in current pediatric studies. The primary objective this study is to validate previous Pediatric Injury Quality Improvement Collaboration (PIQIC) findings by using a national registry evaluate LOS TBSA relative mechanism, sociodemographic characteristics, and clinical factors which influence ratio. We evaluated patients 0-18 years old who sustained injury whose...
Studies on length of stay (LOS) per total body surface area (TBSA) burn in pediatric patients are often limited to single institutions and grouped ranges TBSA which lacks specific detail counsel families. A LOS ratio 1 has been widely accepted but not validated with multi-institution data. The objective this study is describe the current relationship relative mechanism use multi-institutional Data from Pediatric Injury Quality Improvement Collaborative (PIQIC) were obtained for across five...
Pediatric burn care is highly variable nationwide. Standardized quality and performance benchmarks are needed for guiding improvement within pediatric centers. A network of centers was established to develop evaluate pediatric-specific best practices. multi-disciplinary team including surgeons, nurses, advanced practice providers, intensivists, rehabilitation staff, child psychologists from five a collaborative share compare data, outcomes, exchange In December 2016, the Injury Quality...
Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with pulmonary apical wedge resection is the mainstay procedure performed for spontaneous pneumothorax (sPTX). However, there variability in adjunctive techniques, including pleurectomy or mechanical pleurodesis, used to prevent recurrences. The objectives of this study were determine sPTX recurrence rates after initial VATS and compare efficacy adjunct versus pleurodesis. Methods: Patients 11-21 years old who experienced underwent from...
Abstract Introduction Burn injury continues to contribute significant and preventable morbidity mortality in the United States. Despite an increased focus on racial ethnic disparities healthcare, there remains a critical knowledge gap our understanding of effect these complications adult burn population. Methods The American Association’s National Repository data were reviewed from 2010-2018. Information regarding demographics, mechanism severity, complications, clinical outcomes recorded....
