Chronic pain, defined as persistent or recurring pain or pain lasting longer than 3 months, is a common childhood problem. The objective of this study was to conduct an updated systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence of chronic pain (ie, overall, headache, abdominal pain, back pain, musculoskeletal pain, multisite/general pain, and other) in children and adolescents. EMBASE, PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched for publications between January 1, 2009, and June 30, 2023.

- The objective of the study was to assess how accessible scientific literature is for providers in cancer genomics, as they need this information for patient care concerning tumor genome alterations.
- Researchers analyzed 265 journals based on their accessibility while evaluating clinical test results for 1,842 cancer patients, finding that nearly half of the journals had open access within a year.
- The study concluded that while universities generally provided good access to subscription journals, access from hospital systems was inconsistent, highlighting challenges in the availability of scientific literature as genomic medicine advances.
