In 2020, firearm injuries became the leading cause of death among US children and adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate new 2021 data on pediatric deaths disparities understand trends compared with previous years.
IMPORTANCE Trauma is the leading cause of death among US children.Whether pediatric trauma centers (PTCs), mixed (MTCs), or adult (ATCs) offer a survival benefit compared with one another when treating injured children controversial.Ascertaining optimal care environment will better inform quality improvement initiatives and accreditation standards.OBJECTIVE To evaluate association between type center (PTC, MTC, ATC) in-hospital mortality young (5 years younger), older (aged 6-11 years),...
<h3>Importance</h3> Although data obtained from regional trauma systems demonstrate improved outcomes for children treated at pediatric centers (PTCs) compared with those adult (ATCs), differences in mortality have not been consistently observed adolescents. Because is the leading cause of death and acquired disability among adolescents, it important to better define injured adolescents by using national data. <h3>Objectives</h3> To use a set compare ATCs, PTCs, or mixed (MTCs) that treat...
<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Introduction</h3> The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the suspension of nonemergent surgeries throughout New York. Our tertiary care children's hospital pivoted towards a brief trial intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy all patients order to limit operating room (OR) utilization and avoid prolonged stays. We describe our pandemic-based strategy for non-operative management (NOM) appendicitis but with limited duration IV antibiotics. <h3>Methods</h3> performed retrospective...
OBJECT Well-designed studies linking intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring with improved outcomes among children severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are lacking. The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between ICP in and in-hospital mortality following TBI. METHODS An observational conducted using data derived from 153 adult or mixed (adult pediatric) trauma centers participating American College Surgeons (ACS) Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) 29 pediatric...
Abstract Background Firearms became the leading cause of death in United States pediatric population 2019 and have persisted as through 2021, with widening racial ethnic disparities. We aimed to examine recent trends U.S firearm mortality, how they differ by intent, identify which ages, groups been most impacted over time. Methods The Centers for Disease Control Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data Epidemiologic Research database was queried mortalities children aged 0–19 years from...
To assess differences in contextual factors by intent among pediatric firearm injury patients and determine associated with data missingness.
Despite vast long-standing healthcare industry support for a public health approach to firearm injury and mortality prevention - still -- the minority of physicians, surgeons, nurses, social workers ask patients questions about access or gun violence risk, let alone counsel safety.1,2 For most us, screening counselling related prevention, though demonstrated be beneficial,3 continues fall outside umbrella 'usual care' is often reserved deemed 'high risk' such as those presenting with...
Background: The SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) has emerged as a highly contagious pathogen causing severe lung injury. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is standard tool for the management of life-threatening distress syndrome, but use this resource-intensive therapy come into question due to strained medical systems and limited proven treatments COVID-19. Case summary: A 16-year-old female with obesity presented fever, myalgias, cough, tachypnea was diagnosed...
Firearm injury is a leading cause of preventable death in the USA. Healthcare providers are uniquely poised to focus on firearm safety and prevention from an apolitical harm reduction lens; however, few healthcare settings incorporate strategies into usual care. We outline first protocol determine how implement universal Injury Mortality Prevention (FIMP) that identify address access violence risk as part routine care using Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) inform...
Abstract Background To examine the use of abdominal ultrasound (AUS) as a diagnostic adjunct in diagnosis necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) cases where radiography (AXR) is equivocal order to reduce unnecessary antibiotic neonates. Methods Retrospective study (2017–2019) infants undergoing NEC evaluation with AXR findings ( n = 54). Paired and AUS were reviewed respect presence or absence pneumatosis. Concordance decision treat for was evaluated. Results Among 54 equivocal, demonstrated...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> At present, parents lack objective methods to evaluate their child’s postoperative recovery following discharge from the hospital. In result, clinician’s are dependent upon a parent’s subjective assessment of health status and ability communicate symptoms. This nature home-monitoring contributes unnecessary emergency department (ED) utilization as well delays in treatment. However, integration data remotely collected using consumer wearable device has...

Background There is consensus on the need and ability to address firearm injury risk in healthcare settings; however, lack of education for professionals hinders implementation evidence-based mortality prevention strategies. The objectives this study are develop, disseminate evaluate team members facilitate emergency departments Method Two-tiered was developed partnership with stakeholders disseminated team, covering screening interventions access violence risk. implementation, development...
