Article Synopsis
- Research highlights a critical gap in understanding long COVID (PASC) in children and emphasizes the need for studies that define its characteristics in this age group.
- The objective is to identify common prolonged symptoms in children aged 6 to 17 post-SARS-CoV-2 infection, examining differences between school-age kids and adolescents, as well as potential symptom clusters for future research.
- A multicenter study involved nearly 5,000 participants, revealing that certain symptoms were significantly more prevalent in those with a history of COVID-19 compared to those without.
Importance: The prevalence, pathophysiology, and long-term outcomes of COVID-19 (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 [PASC] or "Long COVID") in children and young adults remain unknown. Studies must address the urgent need to define PASC, its mechanisms, and potential treatment targets in children and young adults.
Observations: We describe the protocol for the Pediatric Observational Cohort Study of the NIH's REsearching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative.
The Pediatric Data Science and Analytics Subgroup of the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators Network: Use of Supervised Machine Learning Applications in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Research.

Objective: Perform a scoping review of supervised machine learning in pediatric critical care to identify published applications, methodologies, and implementation frequency to inform best practices for the development, validation, and reporting of predictive models in pediatric critical care.
Design: Scoping review and expert opinion.
Setting: We queried CINAHL Plus with Full Text (EBSCO), Cochrane Library (Wiley), Embase (Elsevier), Ovid Medline, and PubMed for articles published between 2000 and 2022 related to machine learning concepts and pediatric critical illness.
Article Synopsis
- - The RECOVER-Pediatrics study aims to investigate the prevalence and long-term effects of Long COVID (PASC) in children and young adults, addressing the need for more research in this area.
- - The study recruits caregiver-child pairs and young adults across 100+ sites in the U.S., focusing on a diverse group of participants with and without prior SARS-CoV-2 infections, and will collect data over several years through various tiers of assessments.
- - The ultimate goal of the study is to understand the clinical trajectory, mechanisms, and sociodemographic factors related to pediatric PASC, thereby contributing to potential treatments and public health responses.
Background: Diquat is an herbicide that may cause rapid and profound systemic toxicity. It can cause multisystem organ failure, primarily via its effects on the gastrointestinal, renal, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems. Case fatality rates as high as 43% have been reported.

Objectives: In this study, we describe the characteristics and outcomes of pediatric necrotizing pneumonia in the United States.
Design And Setting: A retrospective analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project 2016 Kids Inpatient Database was performed. The Kids Inpatient Database is a large deidentified hospital discharge database of pediatric patients in the United States.
Pediatric COVID-19 presenting as supraglottitis with vocal cord hypomobility.

In the United States, an estimated 7.3% of confirmed cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (COVID-19) are among persons aged less than 18 years. Data regarding clinical manifestations in this age group are still evolving.
