Associations between Anemia and Outcomes of Pregnant Patients with Pyelonephritis.

Objective: This study aims to determine if pregnant patients with both pyelonephritis and anemia are at an increased risk of adverse maternal outcomes compared with those with pyelonephritis without anemia.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD). Patients with antepartum pyelonephritis-associated hospitalizations from October 2015 to December 2018 were included.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infections Among Children in the Biospecimens from Respiratory Virus-Exposed Kids (BRAVE Kids) Study.

Background: Child with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection typically have mild symptoms that do not require medical attention, leaving a gap in our understanding of the spectrum of SARS-CoV-2-related illnesses that the viruses causes in children.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of children and adolescents (aged <21 years) with a SARS-CoV-2-infected close contact. We collected nasopharyngeal or nasal swabs at enrollment and tested for SARS-CoV-2 using a real-time polymerase chain reaction assay.
