Evaluation of Hepatitis in Pediatric Patients With Presumed Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Unlabelled: In 2017, the North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition published clinical practice guidelines for the assessment and diagnosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We determined how frequently these investigations suggest an alternate etiology for chronic hepatitis in 8- to 17-year-old patients with body mass index >85%, elevated alanine aminotransferase and radiographic steatosis, and rates of adherence to 2017 guidelines.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients presenting to McMaster Children's Hospital from 2017-2020 for evaluation of suspected NAFLD.

Clinical presentations, pregnancy complications, and maternal outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19 and tuberculosis: A retrospective cohort study.

Pregnant women with symptomatic COVID‐19 should also be tested for TB in countries with a high burden of TB. The infrastructure of the TB Program can be utilized for the control of COVID‐19, and vice versa.
