Characteristics Associated With Positive Social Determinants of Health Screening in Patients Admitted to Pediatric Hospital Medicine.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study.

Scalp Staples Placed in a Pediatric Emergency Department: Feasibility and Benefits of Home Removal.

Objectives: Scalp lacerations are a common occurrence in the pediatric population. A preferred method of closure in a busy pediatric emergency department (PED) is skin staples, because of their ease of use and rapid application. However, using skin staples also demands that the child have a follow-up visit for their removal.

European Respiratory Society guideline on long-term management of children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

This document provides recommendations for monitoring and treatment of children in whom bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has been established and who have been discharged from the hospital, or who were >36 weeks of postmenstrual age. The guideline was based on predefined Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcomes (PICO) questions relevant for clinical care, a systematic review of the literature and assessment of the evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. After considering the balance of desirable (benefits) and undesirable (burden, adverse effects) consequences of the intervention, the certainty of the evidence, and values, the task force made conditional recommendations for monitoring and treatment of BPD based on very low to low quality of evidence.
