BACKGROUND: Host biomarkers predict disease severity in adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We evaluated the association of white blood cell (WBC) count, absolute neutrophil count (ANC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin development severe outcomes children CAP. METHODS: performed a prospective cohort study 3 months to 18 years age CAP emergency department. The primary outcome was severity: mild (discharged from hospital), mild-moderate (hospitalized but not...

The authors of national guidelines emphasize the use history and examination findings to diagnose community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in outpatient children. Little is known about interrater reliability physical children with suspected CAP.This was a prospective cohort study CAP presenting pediatric emergency department from July 2013 May 2016. Children aged 3 months 18 years lower respiratory signs or symptoms who received chest radiograph were included. We excluded hospitalized ≤14 days...
Antibiotic therapy is often prescribed for suspected community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children despite a lack of knowledge causative pathogen. Our objective this study was to investigate the association between antibiotic prescription and treatment failure with CAP who are discharged from hospital emergency department (ED).We performed prospective cohort (ages 3 months-18 years) were ED CAP. The primary exposure receipt or prescription. outcome (ie, hospitalization after being ED,...
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) angiography (CMRA) is an important non-invasive imaging tool for congenital heart disease (CHD) and aortopathy patients. The conventional 3D balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) sequence often confounded by artifacts. We sought to compare the respiratory navigated electrocardiogram (ECG) gated modified Dixon (mDixon) CMRA non-gated dynamic multi-phase contrast enhanced (CE-CMRA) bSSFP across a variety of diagnoses. included 24 patients with...
Aims To investigate the right ventricular (RV) strain in pectus excavatum (PE) patients using cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking (CMR TT). Materials and methods Fifty consecutive patients, 10 to 32 years of age (mean 15 ± 4 years), underwent routine imaging (CMR) including standard measures chest geometry size function. The control group consisted 20 healthy with a mean 17 5 years. RV longitudinal circumferential magnitude was assessed by dedicated software. Results images sufficient...
Proadrenomedullin (proADM), a vasodilatory peptide with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, predicts severe outcomes in adults community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) to greater degree than C-reactive protein procalcitonin. We evaluated the ability of proADM predict disease severity across range clinical children suspected CAP.We performed prospective cohort study 3 months 18 years CAP emergency department. Disease was defined as mild (discharged home), mild-moderate (hospitalized but...
Abstract Background No standardized manner exits to objectively compare renal tumor complexity in children and adolescents. However, the RENAL Nephrometry scoring system has been recently developed adults shown predict correlate with clinical outcomes. Thus, study objective was evaluate score a population of children, adolescents, young it features pathology. Methods Patients at institution who underwent attempted resection from 2002 2012, had pre‐operative imaging available for were...
Background: Chest radiography is increasingly used to diagnose pneumonia in low-income and middle-income countries. Few studies examined whether chest radiographic findings predict outcomes of children with clinically suspected these settings. Methods: This a hospital-based, prospective cohort study 1–23 months age meeting clinical criteria for Botswana. radiographs were reviewed by 2 pediatric radiologists generate consensus interpretation using standardized World Health Organization...
Abstract Background Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common, heterogeneous disease in premature infants. We hypothesized that quantitative CT techniques could assess lung parenchymal heterogeneity BPD patients across broad age range and demonstrate how pathologies change over time. Methods A cross‐sectional, retrospective study of children 0‐6 years with non‐contrast chest scans was conducted. subjects met NICHD/NHLBI diagnostic criteria for were excluded congenital lung/airway...
BACKGROUND. CT is the imaging modality of choice to identify lung metastasis. OBJECTIVE. The purpose this study was evaluate performance reduced-dose for detection nodules in children and young adults with cancer. METHODS. This prospective enrolled patients 4-21 years old known or suspected malignancy who were undergoing clinically indicated chest CT. Study participants underwent an additional investigational examination same encounter. Separated deidentified examinations reviewed blinded...
<h3>Importance</h3> The ability of computed tomography (CT) to distinguish between benign congenital lung malformations and malignant cystic pleuropulmonary blastomas (PPBs) is unclear. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess whether chest CT can detect tumors among postnatally detected lesions in children. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective multicenter case-control study used a consortium database 521 pathologically confirmed primary from January 1, 2009, through December 31,...

Paraneoplastic syndromes may be the presenting clinical manifestation of small cell lung cancer. In some cases, however, confirming diagnosis can difficult because findings on conventional imaging studies subtle or nonspecific. This study examined utility fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in identifying clinically suspected cancer patients with paraneoplastic syndromes. FDG-PET appears to very useful localizing
Pulmonary venous anomalies may be difficult to define in small, critically ill infants using standard echocardiography. In many centers, invasive cardiac catheterization is used if the diagnosis remains inconclusive. We evaluated computed tomography angiography (CTA) as a low-risk alternative these infants.All <7 kg with congenital heart disease who had undergone CTA tertiary care pediatric institution during 30-month period were included. All preceding echocardiography, pulmonary veins...
Objectives Chest radiographs (CXRs) are often performed in children with respiratory illness to inform the decision prescribe antibiotics. Our objective was determine factors associated clinicians' plans treat antibiotics prior knowledge of CXR results and associations between preradiograph antibiotic prescription return medical care. Methods Previously healthy aged 3 months 18 years a for suspected pneumonia were enrolled prospective cohort study emergency department. primary outcomes or...
