Introduction: Procalcitonin (PCT), a 116 amino acid precursor to calcitonin (a hormone important in calcium regulation) is an emerging biomarker for bacterial infection that easily testable and readily available the clinical setting. Studies critically ill adults suggest using PCT-guided antibiotic algorithm will reduce number of days without increase adverse outcomes. There are no studies this kind Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Given association between exposure multi-drug resistant...
Introduction: Critically ill children with status asthmaticus frequently present fever and abnormal chest radiographs. These are often placed on broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy for clinical suspicion of pneumonia. However, many these do not have While previous studies shown that serum procalcitonin(PCT) levels can predict bacterial infection decrease overuse, there is limited data PCT in asthmaticus. For example, it known whether corticosteroids affect levels. The specific aims this study...

Introduction: In pediatric cranioplasty, challenges include a diploic space too thin for split calvarial grafting, and alloplastic materials prone to infection, extrusion, or improper fit. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) may present solution; however, concerns restricted growth, mitogenic potential, long-term safety. This study compared outcomes in allograft cranioplasty with without BMP-2. Methods: retrospective cohort cranioplasties performed BMP-2 from 2009–2017. Age, gender,...
