Motivation for the study. Therapeutic guidelines for COVID-19 in children changed constantly during the pandemic. In Peru, the variation of the treatment during the different waves of the pandemic has not been studied. Main findings. During the third wave, there was a greater number of patients with COVID-19; however, these patients had less severe symptoms. The use of ceftriaxone and azithromycin was less frequent during the third wave. The use of immunoglobulin was only found in patients with pediatric inflammatory multisystemic syndrome. Implications. Determining the patterns of medication use during the COVID-19 pandemic in the pediatric population will allow us to evaluate how the therapeutic decision-making process evolved in this population.

Screening high-risk Veterans for cirrhosis: taking a stepwise population health approach.

VA Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Background: Because cirrhosis is often unrecognized, we aimed to develop a stepwise screening algorithm for cirrhosis in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and assess this approach's feasibility and acceptability.
Methods: VHA hepatology clinicians ("champions") were invited to participate in a pilot program from June 2020 to October 2022. The VHA Corporate Data Warehouse was queried to identify Veterans with possible undiagnosed cirrhosis using Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) ≥ 3.
