Respiratory Colonization and Short-Term Temporal Changes in the Urinary Metabolome of Children.

The human metabolome may vary based on age, over time, and in the presence of viral carriage and bacterial colonization-a common scenario in children. We used nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to identify and quantify urinary metabolites of children without signs or symptoms of respiratory illness. A urine sample and two nasopharyngeal swabs were collected to test for respiratory viral pathogens and colonization by ().

Parental Adverse Childhood Experiences and Resilience on Coping After Discharge.

Background And Objectives: Adults with a history of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) (eg, abuse) have suboptimal health outcomes. Resilience may blunt this effect. The effect of parental ACEs (and resilience) on coping with challenges involving their children (eg, hospitalization) is unclear.

Improving Recruitment and Retention Rates in a Randomized Controlled Trial.

High recruitment and retention rates in randomized controlled trials are essential to ensure validity and broad generalizability. We used quality improvement methods, including run charts and intervention cycles, to achieve and sustain high recruitment and retention rates during the Hospital-To-Home Outcomes randomized controlled trial. This study is examining the effects of a single nurse-led home health care visit after discharge for an acute pediatric hospitalization.
