In CF, pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) can lead to permanent loss in lung function and thus should be prevented. Previously, we identified a blood protein biosignature consisting of 6 proteins capable of predicting short-term PEx events in CF adults. In this study, we utilized blood samples from the placebo arm of a randomized controlled trial to assess whether this candidate protein biosignature was also capable of predicting short-term PEx events in CF children and adolescents. This pilot study provides preliminary evidence that blood inflammation can be monitored to predict short-term PEx risk in CF children and adolescents.

Child Maltreatment Characteristics and Adult Physical Multimorbidity in Germany.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry-Psychotherapy, University Hospital Ulm, Ulm, Germany.
Importance: Associations between child maltreatment (CM) and health have been studied broadly, but most studies focus on multiplicity (number of experienced subtypes of CM). Studies assessing multiple CM characteristics are scarce, partly due to methodological challenges, and were mostly conducted in patient samples.
Objective: To determine the importance of CM characteristics in association with physical multimorbidity in adulthood for women and men in a German representative sample.

Could physical activity promote indicators of physical and psychological health among children and adolescents? An umbrella review of meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials.
World J Pediatr
January 2025
Institute of Child and Adolescent Health, School of Public Health, Peking University, Beijing, China.
Background: We performed an umbrella review to synthesize evidence on the effects of physical activity (PA) interventions on indicators of physical and psychological health among children and adolescents, including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), depressive symptoms, and cognitive function.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched from inception through 31 July 2023. We included meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials exploring the effects of PA interventions on BMI, BP, depressive symptoms, or cognitive function in healthy or general children and adolescents.
