Background: The objective of this study is to analyze the transplacental transmission of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, their persistence in newborns, the factors that may influence this transmission, and the protection these antibodies confer over time.
Methods: This prospective cohort was conducted in a tertiary pediatric hospital in the Barcelona Metropolitan Region, Spain. It included neonates born to mothers who had SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy or delivery between August 2020 and January 2022.
Background: Identifying potential factors correlated with the sustained presence of antibodies in plasma may facilitate improved retrospective diagnoses and aid in the appraisal of pertinent vaccination strategies for various demographic groups. The main objective was to describe the persistence of anti-spike IgG one year after diagnosis in children and analyse its levels in relation to epidemiological and clinical variables.
Methods: A prospective, longitudinal, observational study was conducted in a university reference hospital in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona (Spain) (March 2020-May 2021).
Objective: The complexity of consultations for child and adolescent sexual abuse (CSA), added to the high service pressure in Emergency Department (ED), makes legal proceedings to be prioritized over medical action, and security incidents may appear. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of a checklist for the management of acute CSA in ED, assessing the number and type of security incidents.
Methods: A single-centre, descriptive-observational study was conducted between 2018 in ED.
