Published: January 2025

Background: The use of ChatGPT in the field of health has recently gained popularity. In the field of dentistry, ChatGPT can provide services in areas such as, dental education and patient education. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality, readability and originality of pediatric patient/parent information and academic content produced by ChatGPT in the field of pediatric dentistry.

Methods: A total of 60 questions were asked to ChatGPT for each topic (dental trauma, fluoride, and tooth eruption/oral health) consisting of pediatric patient/parent questions and academic questions. The modified Global Quality Scale (the scoring ranges from 1: poor quality to 5: excellent quality) was used to evaluate the quality of the answers and Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level were used to evaluate the readability. A similarity index was used to compare the quantitative similarity of the answers given by the software with the guidelines and academic references in different databases.

Results: The evaluation of answers quality revealed an average score of 4.3 ± 0.7 for pediatric patient/parent questions and 3.7 ± 0.8 for academic questions, indicating a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). Academic questions regarding dental trauma received the lowest scores (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in readability and similarity between ChatGPT answers for different question groups and topics (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: In pediatric dentistry, ChatGPT provides quality information to patients/parents. ChatGPT, which is difficult to readability for patients/parents and offers an acceptable similarity rate, needs to be improved in order to interact with people more efficiently and fluently.

Influenza knowledge and barriers to vaccination in immunosuppressed patients in the pediatric rheumatology clinic.

Pediatr Rheumatol Online J

December 2024

Department of Pediatrics, Children's Mercy Kansas City, 2401 Gillham Road, Kansas City, MO, 64108, USA.

Background: Most patients with a pediatric rheumatic disease are at increased risk of influenza due to immunosuppressive medication use. Despite initial quality improvement efforts, our influenza vaccination rate plateaued at 72%, which prompted a survey of patients and families to assess provider vaccine recommendations, influenza knowledge, and barriers to influenza vaccination.

Methods: Patients on immunosuppressive medication or their parent were eligible to complete a survey between July 2019 and January 2020.

Background: Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is a patient-reported metric (PRM) that provides a holistic measure of health that is not addressed in traditional outcome measures. The acute responsiveness of HRQOL after pediatric/congenital cardiac catheterization procedures has not, to our knowledge, been studied.

Methods: A single-center prospective cohort study was performed, longitudinally evaluating HRQOL and other PRM in school-age children and adolescents (ages 8-18) undergoing diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures prior to their scheduled procedure, and then 1 day, ∼1 month, and ∼3 months after the procedure.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the glycemic patterns in children with congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) over a 12-month period to provide better insights for future treatments.
  • It involved 45 patients, revealing a consistent risk of hypoglycemia, especially early in the morning, but showed that CGM did not effectively reduce these episodes and the device's accuracy was found to be poor.
  • Despite high dissatisfaction among patients and families regarding CGM usage, qualitative feedback indicated that it helped them understand glycemic patterns and make behavior adjustments to reduce hypoglycemia.

Background: New paradigms of diagnosis and treatment have changed the neurodegenerative trajectory for individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Registries are a critical tool to provide real-world data on treatment patterns, their effects and health care provision within this evolving paradigm of care. This study aimed to evaluate the phenotypic and genotypic landscape, treatment patterns and health impact of SMA in Australia through the national registry.
