Caring for Children With Medical Complexity in the Early COVID-19 Pandemic in an Ambulatory Primary Care Setting.

Background: Children with medical complexity (CMC) have multiple chronic conditions and require a high level of coordinated healthcare. The risk of COVID-19 among CMC is unclear.

Objectives: We aim to identify and describe the prevalence and experience of COVID-19 among CMC and their caregivers during the initial weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic in the NY metropolitan area.

Prevalence of cervical insufficiency in polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Background: Pregnant women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) experience a greater rate of adverse obstetrical outcomes compared with non-PCOS women. We examined the prevalence and incidence of cervical insufficiency (CI) in a community cohort of pregnant women with and without PCOS.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted within a large integrated health care delivery system among non-diabetic PCOS women with second or third trimester delivery during 2002-2005 (singleton or twin gestation).

Risk of preterm delivery in non-diabetic women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Objective: To examine the risk and etiology of preterm delivery in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study comparing preterm delivery rate among non-diabetic PCOS and non-PCOS women with singleton pregnancy. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify predictors of preterm delivery among PCOS women.

Comparative performance of the Zyoptix XP and Hansatome zero-compression microkeratomes.

Purpose: To compare flap parameters produced by the Zyoptix XP and Hansatome microkeratomes (both Bausch & Lomb) and to evaluate preoperative variables contributing to flap thickness variation.

Setting: Private practice, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

Changes in corneal biomechanics and intraocular pressure following LASIK using static, dynamic, and noncontact tonometry.

Purpose: To compare the preoperative and postoperative measurement of corneal biomechanical properties and intraocular pressure (IOP) using Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), the ocular response analyzer (ORA), and the Pascal dynamic contour tonometer (PDCT) in eyes undergoing myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Design: Prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial.

Methods: IOP was measured in 66 myopic eyes before and after LASIK by GAT, ORA, and PDCT in a randomized sequence.
