Surgery and Resource Utilization Trends for Pediatric Intussusception From 2005 Through 2014.

Background: Air or barium enema reduction is becoming increasingly common and safer for pediatric intussusception. However, little is known about trends of pediatric intussusception requiring surgical intervention in the United States.  Methods: National Inpatient Sample database was analyzed from 2005-2014 to identify pediatric (≤18 years) intussusceptions along with procedures such as enema and/or surgical intervention.

Etiologies, trends, and predictors of 30-day pediatric readmissions after hospitalizations for diabetic ketoacidosis in the United States.

Objective: To determine the causes, predictors, and trends of 30-day readmissions following hospitalizations for pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the United States (US) from 2010 to 2014.

Research Design And Methods: We used International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision, Clinical Modification codes to identify children with DKA aged 2 to 18 years from the National Readmission Database in the US. Patients who had readmission within 30 days after an index admission for DKA were included in the study.

Pyloric Stenosis: National Trends in the Incidence Rate and Resource Use in the United States From 2012 to 2016.

Objectives: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is the most common reason for abdominal surgery in infants; however, national-level data on incidence rate and resource use are lacking. We aimed to examine the national trends in hospitalizations for IHPS and resource use in its management in the United States from 2012 to 2016.

Methods: We performed a retrospective serial cross-sectional study using data from the National Inpatient Sample, the largest health care database in the United States.

National Trends in the Epidemiology and Resource Use for Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (IgA Vasculitis) Hospitalizations in the United States From 2006 to 2014.

Objectives: We examined the trends in the rate of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) hospitalizations and the associated resource use among children in the United States from 2006 through 2014.

Methods: Pediatric hospitalizations with HSP were identified by using , code 287.0 from the National Inpatient Sample.

Trends in the incidence, mortality, and cost of neonatal herpes simplex virus hospitalizations in the United States from 2003 to 2014.

Objective: To examine the temporal trends in the incidence and outcomes of neonatal herpes simplex infections (NHSV) in the United States.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective study using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS). Neonates ≤28 days old with ICD-9 codes for NHSV (054.
