Background: Three large national data sets are commonly used to assess operative outcomes in pediatric surgery; National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric (NSQIP-P), Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS), and Kids' Inpatient Data set (KID). Hepatectomy and nephrectomy are rare pediatric surgical procedures, which may benefit from large administrative data sets for the assessment of short-term complications.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of NSQIP-P (2012-2015), KID (2012), and PHIS (2012-2015) was performed for hepatectomy or nephrectomy cases for children aged 0 to 18 y. Thirty-day perioperative outcomes were collected, analyzed, and compared across data sets and surgical cohorts.
Results: Rates of surgical site infection, wound dehiscence, central line infection, sepsis, and venous thromboembolism were similar across NSQIP-P, PHIS, and KID in both cohorts. Rates of pneumonia and renal insufficiency were higher in PHIS and KID versus NSQIP-P in both cohorts. Blood transfusions in NSQIP-P were higher than PHIS and KID in the hepatectomy group (50.9% versus 43.0% versus 32.4%, P < 0.001), but similar across data sets in the nephrectomy cohorts (12.0% versus 14.0% versus 13.0%, P = 0.15). PHIS reported higher readmission rates than NSQIP-P for both the hepatectomy (56.5% versus 17.9%, P < 0.001) and nephrectomy (32.6% versus 7.6%,P < 0.001) cohorts. Thirty-day mortality rates were similar between NSQIP-P and PHIS, but higher in KID as compared with NSQIP-P for hepatectomy (6.4% versus 0.4%, P < 0.001) and nephrectomy (2.0% versus 0.3%, P < 0.001) cases.
Conclusions: Administrative data sets provide large sample sizes for the study of low-volume procedures in children, but there are significant variations in the reported rates of perioperative outcomes between NSQIP-P, PHIS, and KID. Therefore, surgical outcomes should be interpreted within the context of the strengths and limitations of each data set.

Background: A validated source of International Classification of Disease (1CD) 10th revision diagnostic codes to identify child maltreatment has not been developed. Such a reference would be essential for the practical purposes of administrative data-based research and public health surveillance.
Objective: To evaluate the validity of diagnosis code classifications for child maltreatment following conversion from ICD 9th edition, clinical modification (ICD-9-CM) to 10th revision.

Cross-sectional comparison of critically ill pediatric patients across hospitals with various levels of pediatric care.

Department of Pediatrics, Center for Pediatric and Adolescent Comparative Effectiveness Research, Indiana University School of Medicine, 410 West 10th Street, HS Suite 4099C, Indianapolis, IN, 46202, USA.
Background: Inpatient administrative data sources describe the care provided to hospitalized children. The Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) provides nationally representative estimates, while the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS, a consortium of pediatric facilities) derives more detailed information from revenue codes. The objective was to contextualize a diagnosis and procedure-based definition of critical illness to a revenue-based definition; then compare it across hospitals with different levels of pediatric care.

Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah; and.
Background And Objective: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of pediatric hospitalization, but the mortality rate and estimated annual deaths are based on decades-old data. Our objective was to describe contemporary RSV-associated mortality in hospitalized infants and children aged <2 years.
Methods: We queried the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) for 2000, 2003, 2006, and 2009 and the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) administrative data from 2000 to 2011 for hospitalizations with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes for RSV infection and mortality.

Unlabelled: OBJECT.: The Revision Quotient (RQ) has been defined as the ratio of the number of CSF shunt revisions to the number of new shunt insertions for a particular neurosurgical practice in a unit of time. The RQ has been proposed as a quality measure in the treatment of childhood hydrocephalus.
