Article Synopsis
  • * Conducted as a retrospective analysis, the research included 877 infants born before 32 weeks of gestation, and demonstrated that higher education levels were associated with earlier tracheostomy placements, while non-Hispanic Black infants had later placements compared to their non-Hispanic White counterparts.
  • * The findings highlight the need for further investigation into how education and other factors influence decisions and timing surrounding neonatal tracheostomy procedures, particularly given the

Objective: Identify stakeholders' tracheostomy decision-making information priorities in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Study Design: English-speaking caregivers and clinicians who participated in NICU tracheostomy discussions between January 2017 and December 2021 were eligible. They reviewed a pediatric tracheostomy communication guide prior to meeting.

Objective: To determine the Screening Tool for Early Predictors of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (STEPP) test accuracy in identifying children with new mental health diagnoses and psychotropic medications prescribed within 12 months after unintentional injuries in a managed-Medicaid population.

Study Design: We conducted a secondary analysis of a retrospective cohort that investigated mental health diagnoses and psychotropic medications pre- and post-injury in children ≤18 years of age treated at a pediatric trauma center from 2005 to 2015 (n = 2208). For this study, we analyzed children with STEPP scores from their injury admission (n = 85).

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of mental health diagnoses and psychotropic prescriptions pre- and posthospitalization for injury in a managed-Medicaid population. We hypothesized that children have increased rates of mental health diagnoses and psychotropic prescriptions after injury.

Study Design: We investigated children (n = 2208) ≤18 years of age treated at a pediatric trauma center from 2005 to 2015 who were enrolled in a managed-Medicaid program at hospital admission and for at least 1 healthcare visit in the preceding year.
