Abstract Objective: To determine the impact of screening and decolonization on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in a neonatal intensive care unit. Study Design: This is single-center retrospective cohort study comparing patient characteristics among MRSA-colonized MRSA-infected infants, rates MRSA before after with targeted decolonization, those receiving single or combined agents. Setting: Texas Children’s Hospital Pavilion for Women 42-bed level three units...
Background: Living donor kidney transplant (LDKT) generally results in better outcomes than deceased (DDKT). Pre-emptive (KT) allows patients to bypass undergoing maintenance dialysis, and is associated with improved patient graft survival. Studies the US pediatric population have shown racial-ethnic disparities listing type of received, but yet assess association between neighborhood disadvantage (LDKT vs DDKT), access pre-emptive KT, or waitlisting. Methods: To utilize geocoded data...
Background: Food insecurity (FIS), characterized by the lack of consistent access to nutritious food, is associated with hypertension and adverse health outcomes. Despite evidence a higher prevalence (HTN) in patients living FIS, there limited data exploring underlying mechanism. Methods: We conducted cross-sectional analysis 17,015 adults aged 18-65 years, using dietary recall from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2018). Univariate multivariable analyses were used examine...
Objective: Sensory behaviors are common clinically relevant features of many neurodevelopmental disorders including Autism. However, existing assessments critically lack granularity in evaluating hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity, particularly relation to stimulus intensity. We address this gap by developing the Response Questionnaire Phenotyper (SRQP), a parent questionnaire that comprehensively assesses sensory across five modalities. Here we report development SRQP, validation against...
Abstract Background Hypertension, a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is increasing among adolescents. While socioeconomic factors have been shown to contribute hypertension in adults, similar data children lacking. We examined the association between characteristics of school neighborhoods and prevalence Methods School neighborhood status (SES) was assessed via area deprivation index (ADI), composite measure area-level deprivation. Using from BP surveillance program...
Background Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non-IgE-mediated food allergy, characterized by delayed onset of repetitive vomiting occurring 1 to 4 h following ingestion allergen. Managing FPIES requires strict avoidance the trigger. The concern with determining risk another trigger reaction due potential coassociations other foods or groups. An effective statistical approach for analyzing FPIES-related data essential identify common coallergens and their associations....
Background: The opioid crisis remains a significant public health challenge in North America, highlighted by the substantial need for tools to analyze and understand potency prescription patterns. Methods: OralOpioids package automates retrieval, processing, analysis of data from Health Canada’s Drug Product Database (DPD) U.S. Food Administration’s (FDA) National Code (NDC) database. It includes functions such as load_Opioid_Table, which integrates country-specific processing Morphine...
