Objective: Natural language processing (NLP) can enhance research studies for febrile infants by more comprehensive cohort identification. We aimed to refine and validate an NLP algorithm to identify and extract quantified temperature measurements from infants aged 90 days and younger with fevers at home or clinics prior to emergency department (ED) visits.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using electronic health record (EHR) data from 17 EDs in 10 health systems that are part of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network Registry.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify parental preferences for managing febrile infants to enhance shared decision-making in healthcare settings.
- Involving 432 parents, the research used questionnaires and focus groups to explore their experiences, revealing that many parents were not prepared for decisions about lumbar puncture (LP) and hospitalization, which they found stressful.
- Key findings highlighted the importance of parental involvement, the need for customized information, and the impact of medical recommendations on their decision-making preferences.
Background: Interventions aimed to standardize care may impact racial and ethnic disparities. We evaluated the association of race and ethnicity with adherence to recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics' clinical practice guideline for febrile infants after a quality improvement (QI) intervention.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of infants aged 8 to 60 days enrolled in a QI collaborative of 99 hospitals.
