Objective: To examine trends in diagnosis of headache and migraine in a large pediatric neurology cohort, and test whether an electronic health record (EHR)-integrated headache questionnaire can increase specificity of diagnosis and likelihood of prescribing migraine treatment.

Background: Under-diagnosis of migraine contributes to the burden of disease. As we founded our Pediatric Headache Program in 2013, we recognized that the proportion of patients with headache who were given a diagnosis of migraine was much lower than expected.

Background: Acute kidney injury after pediatric cardiac surgery is a common complication with few established modifiable risk factors. We sought to characterize whether indexed oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass was associated with postoperative acute kidney injury in a large pediatric cohort.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients under 1 year old undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass between January 1, 2013, and January 1, 2020.

Objectives: To compare timeliness of sepsis recognition and initial treatment in patients with and without high-risk comorbid conditions.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients presenting to a pediatric emergency department (ED) who triggered a vital sign-based electronic sepsis alert resulting in bedside "huddle" assessment per institutional practice. A positive sepsis alert was defined as age-specific tachycardia or hypotension, concern for infection, and at least 1 of the following: abnormal capillary refill, abnormal mental status, or a high-risk condition.

This article describes the process of extracting electronic health record (EHR) data into a format that supports analyses related to the timeliness of antibiotic administration. The de-identified data that accompanies this article were collected from a cohort of infants who were evaluated for possible sepsis in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). The interpretation of findings from these data are reported in a separate manuscript [1].

Objective: To determine if time to antibiotic administration is associated with mortality and in-hospital outcomes in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) population.

Study Design: We conducted a prospective evaluation of infants with suspected sepsis between September 2014 and February 2018; sepsis was defined as clinical concern prompting blood culture collection and antibiotic administration. Time to antibiotic administration was calculated from time of sepsis identification, defined as the order time of either blood culture or an antibiotic, to time of first antibiotic administration.
