Objective: To use neighborhood-level Child Opportunity Index (COI) measures to investigate disparities in congenital heart surgery postoperative outcomes and identify potential targets for intervention.
Study Design: In this single-institution retrospective cohort study, children <18 years old who underwent cardiac surgery between 2010 and 2020 were included. Patient-level demographics and neighborhood-level COI were used as predictor variables.
Purpose: To examine the effects of "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE", a novel six-week, self-directed patient education manual designed to improve chronic kidney disease knowledge/self-management, health care transition readiness, self-advocacy, and mindfulness skills among adolescents with chronic kidney disease.

Background: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) have increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease. Whether they respond similarly to lifestyle changes for elevated blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), and dyslipidemia to those without history of childhood cancer is unknown.
Procedure: This retrospective cohort study included CCS and 3:1 age- and sex-matched controls treated at Boston Children's Hospital Preventive Cardiology (2010-2019) using lifestyle management based on National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) guidelines.
Objectives: To evaluate national trends in health care transition preparation over a 4-year period using the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) and to identify and examine disparities in receipt of health care transition preparation over the study period.
Study Design: Data from the NSCH, an annual serial cross-sectional survey conducted from 2016 to 2019, were examined. Caregivers answered questions regarding one of their children within each of a random sample of households across the US.
