Purpose: There is no consensus on the perioperative use of antibiotics in pediatric solid tumor resection. This study collected data from two pediatric centers that utilize perioperative antibiotics to varying degrees in pediatric solid tumor patients to investigate the occurrence of postoperative sepsis and infectious complications.
Methods: A two-institution, retrospective cohort study was performed.
Objectives: Patient experience is directly related to health outcomes, and parental experience can be used as a proxy for this in neonatal care. This project was designed to assess parental experience of neonatal surgical care to inform future service developments and improve the care we provide.
Methods: This was a qualitative study using rapid qualitative analysis.
Introduction: Improved parental experience is related to improved mental and physical health outcomes for the infant. The COVID-19 pandemic abruptly impacted on healthcare delivery and services need information to shape how to manage the disruption and recovery.
Methods: Our aim was to develop a systematic process to capture parents' experience of their neonatal surgical healthcare journey during the pandemic.
Purpose: This prospective, single-center cohort study analyzes the potential of inflammatory protein mediator leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) for the early and accurate diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), and differentiation of acute complicated (AcA) from uncomplicated appendicitis (AuA).
Methods: Participants were divided into the AcA, AuA, and control groups, and their serum (s-LRG1) and urine LRG1 (u-LRG1) levels were assayed preoperatively on the second and fifth postoperative days.
Results: 153 patients participated, 97 had AA.
