Impact of a Strategy for Improving Early Management of Acute Pain in the Pediatric Emergency Department.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to measure the impact of an intervention on pain treatment in a pediatric emergency department (ED). The application of interventions to improve pain management in DE has demonstrated diverse effects so far, most of them successful.

Methods: This is a quasi-experimental before-and-after, longitudinal, prospective study.

Emergency department evaluation of transplanted children with COVID-19.

Background: Children usually have an asymptomatic or mild course of SARS-CoV-2 infection, studies in immunocompromised patients have shown a different evolution. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, laboratory, and radiologic manifestations of pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients testing positive for SARS-CoV-2.

Methods: A multicenter retrospective, observational descriptive study was conducted in 3 tertiary hospitals in Madrid (Spain) between March 2020 and December 2022.

Comparison of amoxicillin administered twice and three times daily in children with acute otitis media.

To compare the effectiveness of amoxicillin administered in regimens of two or three daily doses in children with acute otitis media (AOM). As a secondary aim, we measured and compared treatment adherence between the two groups.A prospective observational study was conducted in the emergency department of a children's hospital.

Invasive bacterial infection in children with fever and petechial rash in the emergency department: a national prospective observational study.

Objective: To determine the incidence and clinical predictors of invasive bacterial infection (IBI) in well-appearing children who present to the emergency department (ED) with fever and petechiae.

Design: A prospective, observational, multicentre study was conducted in 18 hospitals between November 2017 and October 2019.

Patients: A total of 688 patients were recruited.

Clinical spectrum and risk factors for complicated disease course in children admitted with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Introduction: At this time there are still major questions about the characteristics of disease caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19) in children as well as factors associated with the development of severe forms of the disease.

Study Design: Retrospective study including patients under 18 years of age admitted with SARS-CoV-2 infection from March 1 to April 30, 2020. Infection was confirmed by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or antibody testing.

Pandemic H1N1 influenza-associated hospitalizations in children in Madrid, Spain.

Objective: To describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of children hospitalized with 2009 pandemic influenza (pH1N1) in Madrid, Spain.

Patients/methods: We included patients less than 14 years of age admitted to one of 18 hospitals in Madrid, Spain, between May 1 and November 30, 2009 and diagnosed with pH1N1 by polymerase chain reaction. A retrospective chart review was conducted and data were compared by age, presence of high-risk medical conditions, and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission.
