Comparing long-term outcomes of children treated with new-onset type 2 diabetes in an outpatient versus inpatient setting: A retrospective chart review.

Background: Early identification and management of pediatric type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is crucial for improving long-term outcomes. This study aimed to assess if the severity of T2DM at presentation, inferred by the location of treatment initiation (inpatient or outpatient), influences long-term clinical outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on 116 pediatric T2DM patients.

Analysis of Task Attributes Associated with Crisis Checklist Compliance in Pediatric Trauma Resuscitation.

Although checklists can improve overall team performance during medical crises, non-compliant checklist use poses risks to patient safety. We examined how task attributes affected checklist compliance by studying the use of a digital checklist during trauma resuscitation. We first determined task attributes and checklist compliance behaviors for 3,131 resuscitation tasks.

Impact of SARS-CoV2 on youth onset type 2 diabetes new diagnoses and severity.

Introduction: Initial reports show an increase in youth onset type 2 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to expand on existing evidence by analyzing trends over a longer period.

Objectives: Our study aims to describe change in the amount, severity, and demographics of youth onset type 2 diabetes diagnoses during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the five years before.

Metrics of shock in pediatric trauma patients: A systematic search and review.

Introduction: Shock-index (SI) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) are metrics for identifying children and adults with hemodynamic instability following injury. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the quality of these metrics as predictors of outcomes following pediatric injury.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a literature search in Pubmed, SCOPUS, and CINAHL to identify studies describing the association between shock metrics on the morbidity and mortality of injured children and adolescents.
