Objective: We queried the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) to evaluate the presentation, management, and outcomes of renal trauma in children from birth to 18 years from 2007-2018.
Methods: Patients were categorized as infants (0-1 year), toddlers (2-4 years), children (5-9 years), preteen (10-14 years), and teens (15-18 years), and patient demographics, grade of injury, and mechanism of injury including sports-related trauma (SRT) were collected. Each group was then evaluated for the level of management and patient outcome.

Thus, the current study aimed to preliminarily identify the factor structure of the Parental Perception of Uncertainty Scale (PPUS) in caregivers of children with DSD presenting with ambiguous genitalia and examine the convergent validity of the PPUS.
Methods: Participants included 115 caregivers (Mage = 32.
