Association between socioeconomic status and nonurgent presentations to pediatric emergency departments: a retrospective study.

Background And Importance: Access to healthcare remains a persistent challenge. Socially disadvantaged populations often encounter barriers to care and may frequently seek out emergency departments (EDs), including for nonurgent medical care.

Objective: The objective of this study is to study the association between nonurgent presentations to pediatric EDs and patients' socioeconomic environment in an urban setting.

Injuries and child abuse increase during the pandemic over 12942 emergency admissions.

Introduction: A strict lockdown was decided from 17/03/2020 to 11/05/2020 in France in order to tackle the first wave of the COVID19 pandemic. In the Great Paris region, several areas are severely affected by overcrowding, creating difficult conditions for children and their families during a period of nearly two months. The objective was to assess the effects of the 2020 spring lockdown on injuries, child abuse and neglect.

Impact of public health measures on the post-COVID-19 respiratory syncytial virus epidemics in France.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, other respiratory illnesses decreased worldwide. This study described the consequences of public health measures on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) severe infections in France, where an interseasonal resurgence of RSV occurred recently. All patients admitted to Necker Hospital (Paris) between August 2018 and April 2021 with a diagnosis of RSV-associated acute lung respiratory infection (ALRI) were enrolled.

Forecasting the Patients Flow at Pediatric Emergency Departments.

Emergency departments (EDs) have a key role in the public health system. They are facing a constant growth of their volume. Forecasting the daily volume is a major tool to adapt the allocation of resources.

Identification and comparison of France to other countries of the teaching of research to nursing students: Results of an international survey of nursing educator.

Purpose: Registered nurses must have a level of scientific literacy to be able to interpret research data and access Scientific's knowledge. Several studies have been conducted to explore barriers and levers to the dissemination of nurse's knowledge; however, the scientific literacy that nursing students acquire has not been studied.

Objective: The aim was to examine and compare the way that research is taught to undergraduate nursing students in France and other countries.

Study characteristics impacted the pragmatism of randomized controlled trial published in nursing: a meta-epidemiological study.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of study characteristics on the score of the pragmatism/explanatory continuum of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in nursing journals using the PRagmatic Explanatory Continuum Indicator Summary (PRECIS)-2 tool.

Study Design And Setting: RCTs concerning five themes of nursing care indexed in the PubMed and CINAHL databases published from 2002 to 2005 and 2012 to 2015 were selected by title/abstract. A sample of 400 was randomly selected and evaluated with the PRECIS-2 tool and reading grid.

Predictors of clinically urgent intracranial pathology at neuroimaging in children with complex febrile seizures: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

Aim: To assess the prevalence of clinically urgent intracranial pathology (CUIP) in children visiting the emergency department with a complex febrile seizure (CFS).

Methods: Retrospective cohort review. We analysed the visits of patients for a CFS from January 2007 to December 2011 in seven paediatric emergency departments.

Parents' and children's comprehension and decision in a paediatric early phase oncology trial: a prospective study.

Objective: To analyse parents' and children's understanding of consent information and assess their decision-making process in paediatric oncology.

Design: Prospective observational study.

Settings: Eleven French paediatric oncology units.

Comparison of the Quality of Pediatric Randomized Controlled Trials Published in Both Nursing and Medical Journals: Adherence to the CONSORT Statement.

Background: Nursing care should be based on scientific evidence. However, studies must be performed rigorously with accurate reporting for their findings to be applicable to practice. Since the body of scientific nursing literature is broad, the quality and validity of its findings should be regularly controlled and verified to ensure their application and their practical impact.

Provided information and parents' comprehension at the time of admission of their child in pediatric intensive care unit.

Unlabelled: This study evaluated the first interaction (FI) between parents and health care providers at the time of admission of a child in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and explored the extent to which parents understood the medical information. This prospective study took place in three French university-affiliated PICUs. Forty-two parents of 30 children were interviewed.

Fine particulate pollution and asthma exacerbations.

Objective: As the results from epidemiological studies about the impact of outdoor air pollution on asthma in children are heterogeneous, our objective was to investigate the association between asthma exacerbation in children and exposure to air pollutants.

Methods: A database of 1 264 585 paediatric visits during the 2010-2015 period to the emergency rooms from 20 emergency departments (EDs) of 'Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP)', the largest hospital group in Europe, was used. A total of 47 107 visits were classified as asthma exacerbations.

Validation of a Novel Assay to Distinguish Bacterial and Viral Infections.

Background: Reliably distinguishing bacterial from viral infections is often challenging, leading to antibiotic misuse. A novel assay that integrates measurements of blood-borne host-proteins (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, interferon γ-induced protein-10, and C-reactive protein [CRP]) was developed to assist in differentiation between bacterial and viral disease.

Methods: We performed double-blind, multicenter assay evaluation using serum remnants collected at 5 pediatric emergency departments and 2 wards from children ≥3 months to ≤18 years without ( = 68) and with ( = 529) suspicion of acute infection.

Do All Children Who Present With a Complex Febrile Seizure Need a Lumbar Puncture?

Study Objective: We assess the prevalences of bacterial meningitis and herpes simplex virus meningoencephalitis (HSV-ME) in children with a complex febrile seizure and determine these prevalences in the subgroup of children with a clinical examination result not suggestive of meningitis or encephalitis.

Methods: This multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 7 pediatric emergency departments (EDs) in the region of Paris, France. Visits of patients aged 6 months to 5 years for a complex febrile seizure from January 2007 to December 2011 were analyzed.

[Communication, information, and roles of parents in the pediatric intensive care unit: A review article].

Pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), whose accessibility to parents raises controversy, often operate under their own rules. Patients are under critical and unstable conditions, often in a life-threatening situation. In this context, the communication with the parents and their participation in the unit may be difficult.

Risk of Bacterial Meningitis in Children 6 to 11 Months of Age With a First Simple Febrile Seizure: A Retrospective, Cross-sectional, Observational Study.

Objectives: National and international guidelines are very heterogeneous about the necessity to perform a lumbar puncture (LP) in children under 12 months of age with a first simple febrile seizure. We estimated the risk of bacterial meningitis in children aged 6 to 11 months with a first simple febrile seizure.

Methods: This multicenter retrospective study was conducted in seven pediatric emergency departments (EDs) in the region of Paris, France.

[Ethics in pediatric emergencies: Care access, communication, and confidentiality].

Children suffer most from today's increasing precariousness. In France, access to care is available for all children through various structures and existing measures. The support for foreign children is overseen by specific legislation often unfamiliar to caregivers.

[Unscheduled pediatrician office visits: A national survey].

Introduction: Unscheduled visits (UV) are defined as visits to the family pediatrician (FP) without an appointment or when the appointment was made less than 24h before. Because the number of FPs has decreased since the 2000s, the FP might be less available for UVs and that might be one of the reasons for the increase in emergency department visits.

Objectives: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the proportion of UVs among visits with a FP.

Determination of optimal vitamin D3 dosing regimens in HIV-infected paediatric patients using a population pharmacokinetic approach.

Aims: To investigate 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25(OH)D] population pharmacokinetics in children and adolescents, to establish factors that influence 25(OH)D pharmacokinetics and to assess different vitamin D3 dosing schemes to reach sufficient 25(OH)D concentrations (>30 ng ml(-1) ).

Methods: This monocentric prospective study included 91 young HIV-infected patients aged 3 to 24 years. Patients received a 100 000 IU vitamin D3 supplementation.

24-Month adherence, tolerance and efficacy of once-a-day antiretroviral therapy with didanosine, lamivudine, and efavirenz in African HIV-1 infected children: ANRS 12103/12167.

Background: There is no data on long-term benefit of once-a-day antiretroviral therapy (ART) with combination of DDI, 3TC and EFV to allow its use in future therapeutic strategies.

Objectives: To assess 24-month immuno-virological, adherence, tolerance, and effectiveness of a once-a-day ART with DDI, 3TC and EFV.

Methods: A phase 2 open trial including 51 children aged from 30 months to 15 years, monitored a once-a-day regimen for 24 months from 2006 to 2008 in the Departement de Pediatrie du CHUSS, at Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso.
