Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates kidney function and abnormalities in children with congenital solitary functioning kidney (SFK) due to multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) or unilateral renal agenesis (URA).
- A review of medical records from 154 children revealed that 8% had abnormalities in their SFK, with hydronephrosis being the most common, and 46% of those abnormalities resolved spontaneously.
- The majority of the children maintained normal kidney function, with a standard GFR above 75%, but those with SFK abnormalities presented a higher risk of reduced GFR.
Handover between colleagues is a complex task. The problem is that handovers are often inadequate because they are not structured according to theoretically grounded guidelines. Based on the cognitive load theory, we suggest that allowing a clarifying dialogue and thereby optimizing germane cognitive load enhances the information quality and diagnostic accuracy at handover, but may prolong handover duration.
