Aim: We aimed to investigate the developmental outcome of children with Robin sequence (RS) for whom continuous positive airway pressure was the main strategy to release upper airway obstruction.
Methods: We included children with isolated RS or RS associated with Stickler syndrome who were aged 15 months to 6 years. We used the French version of the Child Development Inventory and calculated the developmental quotient (DQ) for eight different domains and the global DQ (DQ-global).
Article Synopsis
- Behavioral issues are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome and may resemble those seen in autism, prompting a study that used standardized autism diagnostic tools to evaluate affected individuals.
- In a study of 64 individuals with CHARGE syndrome, 28% were diagnosed with autism, while 54% met criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), suggesting a continuum of autistic traits within this group.
- The study found no specific risk factors for ASD, but highlighted a negative correlation between autism diagnostic scores and adaptive functioning, indicating that children with greater sensory differences and certain physical anomalies are more likely to have behavioral disorders.
Objective: To describe a series of children who were hospitalized for a tube-weaning program in the general pediatric ward of a pediatric tertiary university hospital: describe our method, to determine the success rate of our inpatient pediatric tube weaning program, and search for relevant factors linked to its success or failure.
Method: We analyzed the medical files of consecutive children who were hospitalized for gastric-tube weaning over an 8-year period. We analyzed outcomes in terms of feeding and growth with at least 2 years of data.
