Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how outpatient care for children with spina bifida changed pre- and during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on visit frequency and clinical outcomes.
- Researchers analyzed data from 216 patients, finding a significant decrease in in-person visits from an average of 3.7 to 2.5 during the pandemic, while virtual visits increased dramatically.
- Results showed worsened health outcomes with increased hospital admissions and emergency department visits pre-pandemic compared to during the pandemic, while many patients experienced difficulty accessing care.
Correction: Routine imaging guided by a 31‑gene expression profile assay results in earlier detection of melanoma with decreased metastatic tumor burden compared to patients without surveillance imaging studies.

Patients with early-stage disease typically have a good prognosis, but still have a risk of recurrence, even with negative sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). This study explores the utility of routine imaging to detect metastases in patients with negative SLNB but high-risk 31 gene expression profile (31-GEP) scores. We retrospectively identified melanoma patients with negative SLNBs.

We hypothesized that implementation of a gastroschisis management protocol would allow for standardization of antibiotic and nutritional treatment for these patients.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparison of patients with simple gastroschisis at two pediatric hospitals before and after initiation of our gastroschisis care protocol.
