Article Synopsis
- The study examines trends and epidemiology of pediatric burns in Dutch burn centers from 2009 to 2022, highlighting the need for effective prevention strategies and resource allocation.
- The analysis revealed a gradual increase in pediatric burn admissions, with a temporary decrease during the COVID-19 pandemic; 77% of patients were overnight admissions.
- Young children (ages 0-3) were the most affected group, and a shift toward shorter hospital stays and increased day admissions was noted, especially during the pandemic.
Our study aimed to provide a description of the early childhood development of pediatric burn patients relative to Dutch reference values, using both pre- and post-burn data from the Dutch Development Instrument and the -score. Data from the Dutch Development Instrument were used to calculate the -score and age-standardized -score. Similar to a growth chart, the -score was used to plot pediatric burn patients' development relative to Dutch reference values for their age.

Based on the hypothesis that addition of the broad tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) midostaurin could improve the response to hypomethylating agents, irrespective of FLT3 gene mutational status, we conducted a randomized phase II multicenter study to assess the tolerability and efficacy of the addition of midostaurin to a 10-day schedule of decitabine in unfit (i.e.

Methods: Pediatric burn patients were identified through the Dutch Burn Repository R3. Eligibility criteria included a burn requiring hospital admission or surgical treatment at one of the Dutch burn centers in 2009-2019.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic interventions on pediatric burn patients' height, weight, body composition, and muscle strength.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to March 2021. Eligible interventional studies reported metrics on the height, weight, body composition, or muscle strength of pediatric burn patients in a peer-reviewed journal.
