Purpose: This study aims to explore demographic disparities, regional and institutional variations, surgical timing, narcotic use, and management trends in neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) patients due to limited published literature.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database of NBPP patients who underwent surgery within the first 2 years of life. Patients were stratified into two groups based on age at surgery: ≤ 8 months and > 8 months.
Background: Gender inequity persists in high-level leadership within academic medicine. Understanding the perspectives of early career women faculty could clarify how to recruit and support women who pursue high-level leadership. This study explored the specific priorities and concerns that may influence the recruitment of women leaders in the future.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the Trauma Quality Improvement Program Data Bank from 2017-2020 was used to query demographics, injury patterns, and management strategies in pediatric open tibial fractures.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates barriers to care for patients with orofacial clefts by surveying Florida orthodontists and families, and analyzing the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database for age-related factors in alveolar bone grafting (ABG).
- - Results show that a significant number of orthodontists treat cleft patients, but financial issues like poor reimbursement and reliance on Medicaid create barriers to care, with many patients facing out-of-pocket costs.
- - The average age for ABG is found to be 10.3 years, with certain funding and residency factors contributing to delays in the procedure, highlighting ongoing challenges in accessing orthodontic care despite legal insurance requirements.
