Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a common condition in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, can be challenging to diagnose. Using data from Children's Oncology Group AALL0932 physical function study, we sought to determine if parent/guardian proxy-reported responses from the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument could identify children with motor or sensory CIPN diagnosed by physical/occupational therapists (PT/OT). Four variables moderately discriminated between children with and without motor CIPN (c-index 0.76, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.64-0.84), but sensory and optimism-corrected models had weak discrimination (c-index sensory models 0.65, 95% CI: 0.54-0.74). New proxy-report measures are needed to identify children with PT/OT diagnosed CIPN.

This study aims to develop and validate the Post-COVID Symptom Scale for Children/Youth (PCSS-C/Y), which is a comprehensive tool for measuring the symptom burden of post-COVID-19 conditions-persistent symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection, commonly known as Long COVID-and its impact on health-related quality of life among children and adolescents. Parents of children and adolescents, adolescents, and young adults with and without a history of COVID-19 were invited to fill in a questionnaire from October 2022 to June 2023. There were 386 valid parent proxy-reported responses, 433 valid adolescent self-reported responses, and 324 valid young adult self-reported responses included in the final analysis.

ReNeu: A Pivotal, Phase IIb Trial of Mirdametinib in Adults and Children With Symptomatic Neurofibromatosis Type 1-Associated Plexiform Neurofibroma.

Department of Pediatrics, Emory University, Atlanta, GA.
Purpose: Pharmacologic therapies for neurofibromatosis type 1-associated plexiform neurofibromas (NF1-PNs) are limited; currently, none are US Food and Drug Administration-approved for adults.
Methods: ReNeu is an open-label, multicenter, pivotal, phase IIb trial of mirdametinib in 58 adults (≥18 years of age) and 56 children (2 to 17 years of age) with NF1-PN causing significant morbidities. Patients received mirdametinib capsules or tablets for oral suspension (2 mg/m twice daily, maximum 4 mg twice daily), regardless of food intake, in 3 weeks on/1 week off 28-day cycles.
Skin Carotenoids Measured by Reflection Spectroscopy Correlate with Dietary Carotenoid Intake in Racially and Ethnically Diverse US Toddlers from Houston, Texas.

Background: Methods to objectively assess fruit and vegetable (FV) intake in young children are needed in order to support rigorous assessments of policies and interventions. Non-invasive skin carotenoid concentration measurements may provide a rapid assessment of toddler carotenoid and carotenoid-rich FV intake. background OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between pressure-mediated reflection spectroscopy-measured skin carotenoid scores (SCSs) with proxy-reported carotenoid and FV intake in racially and ethnically diverse, US toddlers.

Article Synopsis
- Youth with life-limiting conditions, like cancer, experience significant psychosocial challenges such as anxiety, depression, and pain, which can negatively impact long-term health outcomes.
- The study involved 100 English-speaking pediatric outpatients aged 8-21 who completed a brief distress screener called Checking IN, alongside caregiver-proxy reports, to assess their psychosocial distress.
- Results showed that both youth and caregivers identified fatigue, worry, and sleep difficulties as significant issues, highlighting the effectiveness of real-time assessments in improving psychosocial support and referral processes for distressed youth.
