Relationship Between Food Insecurity and Neighborhood Child Opportunity Index.

Objectives: To evaluate the association between the Child Opportunity Index (COI) and food insecurity.

Study Design: This was a secondary analysis of a comprehensive screening instrument for social determinants of health and behavioral health risks. It was administered in 2 urban pediatric emergency departments to adolescents aged 13-21 years and caregivers of children aged 0-17 years.

Correlation of clinical and chest radiograph findings in pediatric submersion cases.

Background: Submersion injuries are a leading cause of injury death in children in the United States. The clinical course of a submersion patient varies depending on the presence of anoxic brain injury and acute respiratory failure.

Objective: We studied changes in clinical findings and chest radiograph findings and determined the sensitivity/specificity of the presenting chest radiograph in predicting clinical improvement within the first 24 h in pediatric submersion cases.
