Objective: This study aims to quantify the potential age bias in screening of hyperactive/impulsive presentations of ADHD in children ages 5 to 12 through comparison of age-based and overall percentiles in screening.
Method: A referred clinical sample of 307 children ages 5 to 12 with behavioral concerns completed the Vanderbilt Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS) and were formally evaluated for ADHD with a diagnostic interview. Analysis utilizing logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was performed to compare the screening performance of agebased and overall percentiles.
Results: The age-based percentiles demonstrated no improvement in the analyzed models compared to overall percentiles in hyperactive presentation ADHD screening. This finding was present in the overall sample and in the sub analysis of the 5 to 6 year old children.
Conclusions: This study identifies no improvement in modeling of hyperactive/impulsive ADHD screening when considering a child's age using age-based percentiles.

An accurate diagnosis of fetal growth restriction relies on a precise estimation of gestational age based on a carefully obtained history as well as early ultrasound, since a difference of just a few days can lead to a significant error. There is a continuum of risk for adverse outcome that depends on the certainty of dates and presence or absence of comorbidities, in addition to the estimated fetal weight percentile and the umbilical artery waveform. The results of several studies, most notably the TRUFFLE trial, demonstrate that optimal management of fetal growth restriction with an abnormal umbilical artery waveform requires daily electronic fetal heart rate monitoring, and this monitoring does not require computerized interpretation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine age-based reference values for the Gastrointestinal and Gastroesophageal Reflux (GIGER) Scale for Infants and Toddlers.
Study Design And Methods: GIGER data from healthy, full-term born children under 2 years of age were used to determine reference values. For each age group, median, interquartile range, 90th, and 95th percentile scores were calculated for each subscale and the total score.

Background: Divergence between intra-arterial catheters blood pressure (ABP) and noninvasive oscillometry (NIBP) may affect the care of children with brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). We described the agreement between ABP and NIBP in these children.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit between 2017 and 2023 with bAVM rupture.
