J Am Board Fam Med
October 2023
From the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, Greenville NC (MP), Department of Pediatrics, Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, Greenville NC (DT).
Background: Caregivers of children with special health care needs (SHCN) report worse self-rated health when compared with caregivers of children without SHCN and have experienced significant stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to determine whether COVID-19 pandemic-era declines in well-being among caregivers of children with SHCN were steeper than among caregivers of children without SHCN.
Methods: We used 2020 to 2021 (pandemic-era, n = 89,560) and 2018 to 2019 (pre-pandemic, n = 57,927) data from the National Survey of Children's Health.

- - The study reviewed patch test results of patients taking the immunosuppressant methotrexate (MTX) at the University of North Carolina Dermatology from 2010 to 2019, aiming to determine its effect on testing outcomes.
- - Among 674 patients, those on MTX had a positivity rate of 46.8%, compared to 53.4% for the control group, with no significant differences in reactions between the two groups.
- - The findings suggest that methotrexate does not adversely affect patch test results, indicating it can be used safely in patients undergoing patch testing.
