The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected children's mental health (MH) and changed patterns of MH emergency department (ED) utilization. Our objective was to assess how pediatric ED visits during the differed from expected prepandemic trends.
BACKGROUND Firearm injuries are the second leading cause of death among US children. While injury prevention has been shown to be effective for blunt mechanisms injury, rising incidence accidental gunshot wounds, school shootings, and interpersonal gun violence suggests otherwise firearm-related injuries. The purpose study is describe incidence, severity, institutional costs pediatric gun-related in Colorado. METHODS Pediatric patients (≤18 years), who sustained firearm between 2008 2018,...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES High-powered magnets were effectively removed from the US market by Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in 2012 but returned 2016 after federal court decisions. The United States Court of Appeals for 10th Circuit cited imprecise data among other reasons as justification overturning CPSC protections. Since then, incidence high-powered magnet exposure has increased markedly, outcome are limited. In this study, we aim to describe epidemiology and outcomes...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Limiting firearm access is essential to decreasing teen suicide. Previous efforts have focused on household firearms; however, less known about and possession among teens at increased suicide risk. Our objective was estimate prevalence of high school-aged with recent depression and/or lifetime history suicidality (DLHS). METHODS We conducted a probability-based, cross-sectional Web survey 1914 parent–teen dyads between June 24, 2020, July 22, data weighted generate...

Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death among U.S children and teens.(1) Decreasing firearm access by storing firearms locked unloaded has potential to decrease deaths in this population,(2) thus clinical, community, policy initiatives have focused on improving home storage.(3–10) However, risk teens extends beyond their own homes – studies unintentional age group report 19-44% fatalities occur at house a friend or other residence.(11,12) According data from National Violent Death...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Pediatric firearm injuries increased during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, but recent trends in injury emergency department (ED) visits are not well described. We aimed to assess how pediatric ED pandemic differed from expected prepandemic trends. METHODS retrospectively studied by children <18 years old at 9 US hospitals participating Emergency Care Applied Research Network Registry before (January 2017 February 2020) and (March 2020 November 2022)...
Abstract Background Injuries, the leading cause of death in children 1–17 years old, are often preventable. Injury patterns impacted by changes child’s environment, shifts supervision, and caregiver stressors. The objective this study was to evaluate incidence proportion injuries, mechanisms, severity seen Pediatric Emergency Departments (PEDs) during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This multicenter, cross-sectional from January 2019 through December 2020 examined visits 40 PEDs for < 18 old....
This study aimed to develop a tool in identifying traumatized children at low risk of pelvic fracture and determine the sensitivity this low-risk model for fractures. We hypothesized that proportion without predictors with is less than 1%.This retrospective trauma registry analysis previously healthy 1 year 17 years old presenting pediatric emergency department blunt trauma. Postulated on radiograph or computed tomography included pain/abnormal examination result pelvis/hip, femur deformity,...
High patient volumes have a deleterious effect on care in the pediatric emergency department (PED). Our study assessed motivation for PED visits that could been by primary physician.We identified convenience sample of patients presenting to SickKids Hospital June and July 2011 with Paediatric Canadian Triage Acuity Score 4 or 5. Patients completed forced answer yes/no survey describing potential motivators visiting PED. Visit appropriateness was determined modified version DeAngelis tool, an...
Although the benefits of antipsychotic pharmacotherapy can be pronounced, many patients develop unwanted adverse effects including a variety movement disorders. Compared with traditional antipsychotics, atypical antipsychotics have decreased risk for associated Drug-induced disorders occur, however, and events increase significantly when medications are abused.We describe case 13-year-old male who presented to an emergency department acute after nasal insufflation crushed quetiapine.

Epiglottitis is a life-threatening entity that can present in children or adults. Although the incidence has declined since introduction of Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine 1985, cases continue to be identified high-risk populations. In pediatric oncology patients specifically, epiglottitis been reported after initiation chemotherapy. We report first case epiglottits as initial presentation leukemia patient.
Aim: NGAL, IL-18, KIM-1 as well urinary TIMP2 and IGFBP7 their mathematical product (TIMP2*IGFBP7) were evaluated for detecting pediatric aminoglycoside acute kidney injury (AG-AKI). Methods: In a prospective study, noncritically ill children received aminoglycosides (AG) ≥3 days. The area under the curve (AUC) biomarkers to detect AKI was calculated by a) days before onset; b) treatment Results: There 113 AG episodes (68% febrile neutropenia). group had higher proportion with neutropenia....
Easy firearm access increases injury risk among adolescents. We evaluated the acceptability and feasibility of improving knowledge a 3 min safe storage education video in paediatric emergency department.
Screening for suicidal ideation in the pediatric emergency department (ED) enhances recognition of suicidality among patients presenting with a nonmental health complaint. Little is known about assessment suicide risk factors and disposition these patients. This study aimed to evaluate ED providers' documentation this population.We performed retrospective cohort screening at on Ask Suicide-Screening Questions tool. Demographic variables youth were extracted from electronic record eligible...
