A pilot study proposing an algorithm for pubertal induction in cerebral palsy.

Objectives: To explore delayed puberty in cerebral palsy (CP) and to test the acceptability of an interventional puberty induction algorithm.

Methods: A two phase cohort study in children and adolescents diagnosed with CP who have delayed puberty. Phase 1: Retrospective review of clinical records and interviews with patients who have been treated with sex-steroids and Phase 2: Prospective interventional trial of pubertal induction with a proposed algorithm of transdermal testosterone (males) or oestrogen (females).

Folic acid supplementation in postmenopausal women with hot flushes: phase III randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial.

Objective: To assess whether folic acid supplementation ameliorates hot flushes.

Design: Double-blind, placebo-controlled randomised trial.

Setting: Nine hospitals in England.

Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Use of Zoledronic Acid in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Context: Patients with glucocorticoid-dependent Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have increased fracture risk and reduced bone mineral density (BMD), often precipitating mobility loss.

Objective: To investigate use of zoledronic acid (ZA) in DMD in improving BMD.

Methods: Two arm, parallel, randomized controlled trial, set in pediatric hospitals across Australia and New Zealand.

Referral and Resource Utilization Among Food Insecure Families Identified in a Pediatric Medical Setting.

Objective: Despite increased routine screening for food insecurity (FI) in pediatric medical settings, the uptake of offered food resources after FI identification is not well understood. We aimed to 1) describe utilization of referral and supplemental resources and 2) identify characteristics associated with utilization.

Methods: We linked hospital screening and Electronic Medical Record data to Hunger Free Colorado (HFC) referral data for patients 0 to 18 years who were screened in the emergency department (ED), inpatient, or outpatient setting from January 2017 to December 2018.
