To compare outcomes between children (<18 yrs) and adults undergoing total thyroidectomy for Graves' disease (GD) at a high volume, multidisciplinary thyroid center.Reported complication rates surgery are worse than adults.100 consecutive patients (32 children; 68 adults) who underwent by high-volume endocrine team from were compared.The mean patient age was 9.7 yrs (range 3.4-17.9 in versus 44.9 18.4-84.2 adults. Operative times longer (2.18 ± 0.08 hrs) (1.66 0.03 (p = 0.003). Pediatric...
Abstract Background: The objective of the study was to identify national trends in utilization histrelin acetate implants among transgender children United States. Methods: We analyzed demographic, diagnostic and treatment data from 2004 2016 on use reported Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) determine temporal its for transgender-related billing diagnoses, e.g. “gender identity disorder”. Demographic payer status this patient population were also collected. Results: Between 2016,...
Evidence that reports to child protective services1 and emergency department visits2 for maltreatment have decreased during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led concerns children are being maltreated but not brought care. We hypothesized in case of potentially life-threatening abuse, such as abusive head trauma (AHT), it is more difficult caregivers forgo medical A standard approach estimating occurrence AHT been counting hospitalizations.3 Therefore, comparing...
We previously developed and validated a murine model for investigating neotissue formation in tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs). Herein, we present the first longitudinal assessment of both microstructural composition mechanical properties TEVG through process neovessel (total scaffold degradation). show that when (poly)glycolic acid-based biodegradable scaffolds were used as inferior vena cava interposition mice, evolving biaxial approached those native vein within 24 weeks...
ABSTRACT Introduction Gestational age, low birth weight, and overgrowth syndromes are associated with the diagnosis of hepatoblastoma. Previous studies have come to mixed conclusions regarding contribution other neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) exposures hepatoblastoma development. We hypothesized that total parenteral nutrition (TPN) mechanical ventilation during index NICU admission would correlate development Methods The Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) was queried for all...
We developed a prototype for closed apparatus assembling tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) with the goal of creating simple operator-independent method making TEVGs to optimize safety and enable widespread application this technology. The TEVG is made by seeding autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells onto biodegradable tubular scaffold first man-made graft be successfully used in humans. A critical barrier, which has prevented clinical adoption TEVG, that cell isolation,...
Importance There is some data to suggest that racial and ethnic minority infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have poorer clinical outcomes. Objective To determine what patient- institutional-level factors are associated differences in CDH mortality. Design, Setting, Participants Multicenter cohort study of 49 US children’s hospitals using the Pediatric Health Information System database from January 1, 2015, December 31, 2020. were patients admitted on day life 0 who underwent...
ABSTRACT: What accounts for the creation, design, and outputs of quasi-judicial institutions in autocracies? Prior research demonstrates that autocrats co-opt electoral, legislative, judicial to curtail opponents’ power curry international patrons’ favor. However, scholarship on co-optation neglects mechanisms, such as truth commissions, can be useful arranging a political narrative bolsters leader’s image while undermining his rivals. In this article, we formalize concept autocratic...
Objective: To determine whether hospital- and surgeon-level operative volumes are associated with differences in postoperative outcomes among infants undergoing elective lung surgery for a congenital malformation (CLM). Summary Background Data: Infant is relatively uncommon procedure performed by pediatric surgeons nationwide. The relationship between surgical volume remains unknown. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of asymptomatic who underwent resection CLM was conducted using the...
