Article Synopsis
- The review emphasizes the need for equitable access to clinical trials for children from Indigenous and diverse backgrounds, which should be a priority in trial design.
- A systematic search of clinical trials conducted in Australia between 2018 and 2022 revealed that over 58% did not report important demographic variables like Indigenous status or ethnicity, highlighting significant gaps in data collection.
- The findings suggest implementing clear reporting standards and encouraging self-identification to improve demographic data collection, which is crucial for fostering health equity and safety in clinical trials involving children.
Objective: To explore current practice and guidelines surrounding the identification and management of extravasation injuries in Australian and New Zealand neonatal and pediatric settings.
Methods: Between February and September 2023, an internet-based descriptive cross-sectional survey was distributed to Australian and New Zealand neonatal and pediatric clinicians using exponential nondiscriminative snowball sampling. Survey data domains included demographics, extravasation identification, management, local guidelines, and resources.
Aim: This scoping review aims to expansively review the reporting of Indigenous status, ethnicity, culture, language and country of birth in Australian paediatric clinical studies.
Methods: Scoping review of Australian clinical studies, including randomised controlled trials, non-randomised controlled trials, cluster randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies, with paediatric participants (<18 years) or mixed adult and paediatric participants. PubMed, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Embase databases were searched for clinical studies published 1 January 2018 to 28 November 2022.
Aim: To provide a contemporaneous evidentiary overview of neonatal and paediatric studies investigating alarm-related patient safety and alarm system management. Furthermore, to describe how clinical alarm burden is captured and reported, to identify clinical devices that contribute to alarm burden, to explore alarm-related and patient safety measures and terminologies and to review alarm management initiatives.
Design: Scoping review.
Background: Healthcare consumers require diverse resources to assist their navigation of complex healthcare interactions, however, these resources need to be fit for purpose.
Aim: In this study, we evaluated the utility, usability and feasibility of children, families and adults requiring long-term intravenous therapy using a recently developed mobile health application (App), intravenous (IV) Passport.
Design: Multi-site, parallel, multi-method, prospective cohort study.
Purpose: Children with chronic and complex health conditions frequently need intravenous devices. The current approach to intravenous device selection, insertion, and monitoring is inconsistent, and healthcare consumers are often negatively affected by siloed health information, and poor future planning. Despite child- and family-centred care being recognised as a pillar of paediatric nursing care, limited implementation for vascular access device planning and management is evident.

Safe and effective vaccination is central to preventive care in PRD patients; however, uncertainty surrounding immunogenicity and safety has contributed to suboptimal vaccination. The aim of this study was to evaluate treatment effect on immunogenicity to vaccination in PRD patients and assess vaccine safety, specifically adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) and disease flare.

Purpose: A systematic review of the literature, including aggregated case series, investigating extravasation injury management of hospitalized pediatric patients.
