Objective: There is evidence that pediatric attending physicians value receiving feedback from trainees. With this study, we sought to determine the extent to which pediatric hospitalists value, solicit, and receive feedback from residents and medical students on specific areas of the attending's performance and identify perceived barriers to trainees' providing feedback.
Methods: A web-based survey was sent to pediatric hospitalists at 9 institutions in 2022. Survey questions were developed from existing literature, trainee input, faculty expertise, and a framework on the qualities of exemplary pediatric educators. Respondents answered yes-no and multiitem Likert scale questions and selected answers from predetermined lists related to feedback solicitation from trainees. χ-Square and Wilcoxon rank test statistics were used to analyze questions.
Results: Responses were gathered from 91 of 189 surveyed individuals (response rate: 48.1%). Respondents almost unanimously "agreed" or "strongly agreed" that feedback from medical students (88, 96.7%) and residents (89, 97.8%) can be valuable, but feedback was considered more valuable from residents (P <.05). Attending physicians asked for and received feedback more from residents than from medical students (P <.05). Attending physicians most commonly asked for feedback on "teaching skills." The largest perceived barriers to receiving feedback from trainees were trainee lacking comfort with giving feedback, trainee lacking awareness that providing feedback is within their role, and fear of retaliation.
Conclusions: Although pediatric hospitalist respondents nearly unanimously valued feedback from trainees, attending physicians were inconsistent in their feedback solicitation practices. Attending physicians were more likely to ask for and receive feedback from residents than from medical students.

Early childhood caries risk prediction using machine learning approaches in Bangladesh.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Department of Clinical Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway.
Background: In the last years, artificial intelligence (AI) has contributed to improving healthcare including dentistry. The objective of this study was to develop a machine learning (ML) model for early childhood caries (ECC) prediction by identifying crucial health behaviours within mother-child pairs.
Methods: For the analysis, we utilized a representative sample of 724 mothers with children under six years in Bangladesh.
Anaemia and iron deficiency in India: a venous blood-based survey of adolescents, adults, and the elderly in eight states.
Eur J Clin Nutr
January 2025
Department of Paediatrics, Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research, New Delhi, India.
Background: Surveys based on capillary blood show that anaemia is rampant in India, but capillary blood haemoglobin (Hb) may not accurately reflect venous blood Hb concentrations. Further, iron deficiency (ID) is thought to be the main cause of anaemia, there are no venous blood-based surveys to confirm this.
Methods: A community-based (urban, slum and rural) cross-sectional, venous blood survey was conducted in eight Indian states to estimate anaemia and ID prevalences from Hb and inflammation-corrected plasma ferritin concentrations in adolescents, adults, and elderly.

January 2025
Division of Policy Evaluation, Department of Health Policy, Research Institute, National Center for Child Health and Development, 2-10-1 Okura, Setagaya-Ku, Tokyo, 157-8535, Japan.
Purpose: This systematic review analyzes economic evaluations of newborn screening for congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection to identify key factors influencing cost-effectiveness and differences in methodological approaches.
Methods: Following a pre-registered PROSPERO protocol (CRD42023441587), we conducted a comprehensive literature search across multiple databases on July 4, 2024. The review included both full economic evaluations (cost and outcomes) and partial economic evaluations (cost only).
miR-21 and cathepsin B in familial Mediterranean fever: novel findings regarding their impact on disease severity.
BMJ Paediatr Open
January 2025
Medical Biochemistry, Istanbul Atlas University Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Objective: The limited predictive effect of genotype on familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) phenotype suggests that epigenetic factors and alternative mechanisms that may cause IL-1β release could contribute to phenotypic heterogeneity. The objective of this study was to examine the role of IL-1β levels and miR-21-5p, cathepsin B and pyrin levels, which were identified as potential factors causing IL-1β release through the use of bioinformatics tools, in the pathogenesis of FMF and their relationship with disease severity.
Materials And Methods: 50 paediatric patients with FMF and 40 healthy children were enrolled in this study.
Impact of Social Disadvantage on Medical and Functional Severity in Children With Cerebral Palsy.
Child Care Health Dev

Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Background: Those with neurological disorders like cerebral palsy (CP) may experience an altered impact of social determinates of health on child functioning and well-being. We investigated the relationship between relative social advantage and medical and functional outcomes in a large cohort of children, adolescents and young adults with CP (n = 1269, aged 2-84 years).
Methods: We extracted data from the Cerebral Palsy Research Registry and dichotomized a range of independent factors (income, ethnicity and race) into advantaged and disadvantaged/vulnerable and a range of medical and functional outcomes (gross motor, manual ability, behaviour, breathing, nutritional intake, hearing, seizures, language and vision) and computed odds ratios using logistic regression.
