Pediatrics

January 2022

Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, Stanford University and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, Palo Alto, California.

Context: Immune system dysfunction is poorly represented in pediatric organ dysfunction definitions.

Objective: To evaluate evidence for criteria that define immune system dysfunction in critically ill children and associations with adverse outcomes and develop consensus criteria for the diagnosis of immune system dysfunction in critically ill children.

Data Sources: We conducted electronic searches of PubMed and Embase from January 1992 to January 2020, using medical subject heading terms and text words to define immune system dysfunction and outcomes of interest.

Applying the Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy has the potential to facilitate identification of effective childhood obesity intervention components. This article evaluates the feasibility of coding Childhood Obesity Prevention and Treatment Consortium interventions and compares reliability between external taxonomy-familiar coders and internal intervention-familiar coders. After training, coder pairs independently coded prespecified portions of intervention materials.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on infants aged 60 days or younger diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, examining their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profiles and identifying those without typical CSF abnormalities.
  • Researchers collected clinical and laboratory data from 66 infants across 11 children's hospitals over five years, calculating the accuracy (sensitivity) of CSF tests like Gram-stain and pleocytosis for detecting bacterial meningitis.
  • Findings revealed that most infants had either CSF pleocytosis or a positive Gram-stain, while those with negative results and no pleocytosis were unlikely to have meningitis unless accompanied by other abnormal blood tests.

Objectives: To determine the association between parenteral antibiotic duration and outcomes in infants ≤60 days old with bacteremic urinary tract infection (UTI).

Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study included infants ≤60 days old who had concomitant growth of a pathogen in blood and urine cultures at 11 children's hospitals between 2011 and 2016. Short-course parenteral antibiotic duration was defined as ≤7 days, and long-course parenteral antibiotic duration was defined as >7 days.

Community Healthcare and Technology to Enhance Communication in Pediatric Obesity Care.

Child Obes

October 2018

14 Department of Pediatrics, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI.

Childhood obesity continues to be a critical healthcare issue and a paradigm of a pervasive chronic disease affecting even our youngest children. When considered within the context of the socioecological model, the factors that influence weight status, including the social determinants of health, limit the impact of multidisciplinary care that occurs solely within the medical setting. Coordinated care that incorporates communication between the healthcare and community sectors is necessary to more effectively prevent and treat obesity.

Aim: Noninvasive electrical stimulation at acupuncture points (NESAP) for analgesia is used in children, but has not been widely studied in neonates. The purpose of this study was to determine whether NESAP alone or in combination with sucrose relieved heelstick pain in neonates.

Methods: Term neonates (n = 162) receiving routine heelsticks for newborn screening were enrolled following parental consent.
