AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the outcomes of children under 20 with acute respiratory failure, finding that 9.1% had unfavorable outcomes, which include in-hospital death or discharge with new health conditions.
- Data was collected from a national inpatient database in Japan, focusing on children who required ventilatory support shortly after hospitalization, with a noteworthy percentage having pneumonia as the primary diagnosis.
- Identified early predictors of unfavorable outcomes included older age, pre-existing health conditions, pneumonia, and lower hospital care volume, indicating areas for targeted improvements in pediatric care.
Article Abstract
Objective: Acute respiratory failure is a leading cause of critical illness in children. However, patient outcomes and early predictors of unfavorable outcomes are not well understood. This study aimed to describe composite unfavorable outcomes, defined as in-hospital death or discharge with new comorbidities, and to identify early predictors in children with acute respiratory failure in acute care hospitals.
Design: Retrospective cohort study using a national inpatient database in Japan.
Setting: All acute care hospitals registered in the database.
Patients: This study included children under 20 years of age who were admitted with acute respiratory diseases between July 2010 and March 2022 and received ventilatory support within the first three days of hospitalization.
Intervention: None.
Measurements And Main Results: Among 29,362 eligible children, the median age was 1.2 (interquartile range, 0.3-3.7) years and 28.8% had underlying conditions. The highest level of ventilatory support within the first three days was invasive ventilation (69.4%), noninvasive ventilation (1.0%), and high-flow nasal cannula (29.7%). Respiratory diagnoses included pneumonia (58.6%), bronchiolitis (29.0%), and asthma (11.1%). Among these children, 669 (2.3%) died and 1994 (6.8%) were discharged with new comorbidities, resulting in 2663 (9.1%) children experiencing unfavorable outcomes. In the logistic regression model, older age, underlying conditions, pneumonia, and low hospital volume were associated with unfavorable outcomes after adjusting for covariates.
Conclusions: A significant proportion of pediatric patients with acute respiratory failure experienced unfavorable outcomes, warranting future efforts to improve acute care services for at-risk children. Early predictors identified from national database analyses could inform risk stratification and optimize the provision of acute care services for vulnerable pediatric patients.

Maternal knowledge and attitudes towards nutrition are essential for achieving healthy dietary behaviours for a positive pregnancy outcome. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level and determinants of knowledge and attitudes towards nutrition among pregnant women in the Minjar Shenkora district, Ethiopia. Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2021 among 334 pregnant women who were selected using a systematic random sampling technique.

The objective was to examine associations between social jetlag and diet quality among young adults in the US using nationally representative data from the 2017-2018 NHANES survey, and evaluate effect modification by gender and race/ethnicity. Social jetlag was considered ≥2-hour difference in sleep midpoint (median of bedtime and wake time) between weekends and weekdays. Diet quality was assessed with the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 and its 13 dietary components.

Background: Early establishment of energy balance related behaviors (EBRBs) may be effective in combating unhealthy lifestyle in preschoolers. Parents are responsible for cultivating preschoolers' EBRBs directly through parenting practices. Although investigating the impact of various parenting practices on preschoolers' EBRBs is crucial to determine which practices should be recommended to parents to help reverse childhood unhealthy lifestyle, it is important to assess whether these effects of parenting practices on preschoolers' EBRBs would be similar across different groups of preschoolers, necessitating research into the moderating effects of demographic characteristics.
