Use of an Asymptomatic COVID-19 Testing Protocol in a Pediatric Emergency Department.

Background: High rates of asymptomatic infections with COVID-19 have been reported.

Objective: We aimed to describe an asymptomatic COVID-19 testing protocol in a pediatric emergency department (ED).

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients (younger than 18 years) who were tested for COVID-19 via the asymptomatic testing protocol at a single urban pediatric ED between May 2020 and January 2021.

Efficacy of Routine Intraoperative Cranio-Femoral Traction in Surgical Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Curves Measuring Between 50° and 90°.

Study Design: Retrospective Comparative Study, Level III.

Objective: In patients with scoliosis >90°, cranio-femoral traction (CFT) has been shown to obtain comparable curve correction with decreased operative time and blood loss. Routine intraoperative CFT use in the treatment of AIS <90° has not been established definitively.

Three-Dimensional Printing in Cleft Care: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To determine the current applications of 3-dimensional (3D) printing in the care of patients with cleft lip and palate. We also reviewed 3D printing limitations, financial analysis, and future implications.

Design: Retrospective systematic review.
