Background: Acquired spontaneous intestinal perforation or SIP occurs most commonly in the extremely premature infant population. As the incidence is rising, understanding modifiable factors such as common medication exposures becomes important for individualizing care.
Methods: The primary outcome was SIP in premature infants with exposure to indomethacin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen.
Background: Electrodiagnostic testing, including nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG), assists with localizing lesions within the peripheral nervous system. NCS/EMG in children can be technically challenging and its relevance has been questioned in the era of affordable genetic testing. NCS/EMG provides information that may not be available in the examination of a young or developmentally delayed child.

- The study evaluates the quality and content of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for osteoporosis screening published between 2002-2016, using the AGREE II tool and IOM standards to assess their reliability and recommendations.* -
- A total of 33 CPGs were reviewed, with scores showing strengths in clarity, purpose, and development rigor, but weaknesses in stakeholder involvement and editorial independence.* -
- The analysis revealed no significant improvement in quality over time, but the IOM standards identified more high-quality guidelines compared to the AGREE II tool, highlighting differences in evaluation criteria.*
