Background: Positional plagiocephaly or brachycephaly (PPB), linked to developmental delays and asymmetrical features, often prompts parental concern and medical consultation.
Objective: This qualitative study explores factors influencing parental adherence to PPB prevention strategies.
Methods: Fifteen parents of newborns participated in semi-structured interviews.
Results: Employing deductive and inductive thematic analysis, three key factors were identified: characteristics of prevention messaging, environmental optimization, and parental priorities, shaped by evolving parenting competencies and the baby's developmental progress.
Conclusion: Our findings highlight solutions endorsed by parents themselves, offering valuable insights to enhance adherence to prevention strategies.

Introduction: Although COVID-19 vaccines have been recommended for children and adolescents since 2021, suboptimal vaccination uptake has been documented. No previous systematic review/meta-analysis (SRMA) investigated parents' willingness to administer COVID-19 vaccines for their children in Saudi Arabia. Accordingly, this SRMA aimed to estimate parents' willingness to immunize their children with COVID-19 vaccines in Saudi Arabia and to identify reasons and determinants influencing parents' decisions.

Purpose: Pediatric health outcomes are often assessed using proxy reports, which may not fully capture children's experiences. Children with surgical conditions face unique, changing healthcare journeys, making accurate representation challenging. This review compares child-reported health status and treatment experiences from Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) with parent reports.

Background: Recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) has been used since 1985 to treat growth hormone (GH)-induced short stature, typically associated with transient adverse events. However, lipoatrophy, characterized by irreversible damage to subcutaneous fat, was first reported in 1999 and linked to antibody formation. In 2021, localized lipoatrophy was observed in 14.

Backgroud: In the diagnosis of bloodstream infections (BSI) in children, compared to the gold standard of blood culture, markers in the blood offer advantages such as rapid results and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, we investigated the clinical value of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the early diagnosis of BSI in children.
Methods: This study included a retrospective analysis of 309 suspected BSI cases and patients were categorized into 2 groups based on blood culture results: blood culture-positive group, and blood culture-negative group.
