Developing a nomogram for predicting acute complicated course in pediatric acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.

Background: The objective of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of an acute complicated course in pediatric patients with Acute Hematogenous Osteomyelitis (AHO).

Methods: A predictive model was developed based on a dataset of 82 pediatric AHO patients. Clinical data, imaging findings, and laboratory results were systematically collected for all patients.

Predictive value of PAR and PNI for the acute complicated course of pediatric acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.

Objective: Platelet to albumin ratio (PAR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are potential indicators for evaluating nutritional and inflammatory status. This study aimed to examine the relationship between PAR and PNI and the acute complicated course of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO).

Methods: AHO patients were divided into the simple course group and the acute complicated course group.

Construction of molecular subtype model of osteosarcoma based on endoplasmic reticulum stress and tumor metastasis-related genes.

Introduction: Osteosarcoma, the prevailing primary bone malignancy among children and adolescents, is frequently associated with treatment failure primarily due to its pronounced metastatic nature.

Methods: This study aimed to establish potential associations between hub genes and subtypes for the treatment of metastatic osteosarcoma. Differentially expressed genes were extracted from patients diagnosed with metastatic osteosarcoma and a control group of non-metastatic patients, using the publicly available gene expression profile (GSE21257).

Assessing the financial efficiency of healthcare services and its influencing factors of financial development: fresh evidences from three-stage DEA model based on Chinese provincial level data.

Pediatrics is an integral part of public health services. With the impact of the epidemic and the high-quality transformation of China's development, the contradiction in the supply of pediatric public services has become more prominent. Scientific evaluation of the efficiency and quality of pediatric services, clarifying the redundancy of pediatric input resources and adjusting the construction of pediatric services with the help of influencing factors have become important research topics.
