Background: The Pediatric Acute Care Cardiology Collaborative (PAC) was established to improve acute care cardiology outcomes through the development of an accurate and well-validated clinical registry. We report the validation results of the initial PAC registry audits and describe a novel regional audit format developed to accommodate a rapidly expanding membership facilitate collaborative learning and allow for necessary modification due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials And Methods: Six hospitals were audited using a regional audit format and three hospitals were subsequently audited virtually.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric cardiomyopathy is a serious heart condition in children with genetic diversity, and there's a need for consistent genetic testing across practices due to significant variations in testing rates.
- A study involving 152 children revealed that 41% had a family history of cardiomyopathy, and 48% of those who had prior testing received positive results.
- The research indicated that genetic testing can uncover the causes of cardiomyopathy in many children, suggesting routine testing may improve diagnosis and management.

Article Synopsis
- - Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare genetic disorder leading to serious vascular issues, like aortic aneurysms, and is diagnosed through molecular testing for COL3A1 mutations.
- - A multi-institutional study analyzed 173 individuals diagnosed with vEDS between 2000 and 2015 to compare those with confirmed COL3A1 mutations against those diagnosed based solely on clinical criteria.
- - Results showed significant differences between the two groups, including a higher percentage of females, different clinical symptoms like joint hypermobility and mitral valve prolapse, and varying rates of other clinical features like easy bruising and thin skin.

Objective: Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare connective tissue disorder owing to pathogenic variants in COL3A1 that lead to impaired type III collagen production. We aim to describe the contemporary multi-institutional experience of aortic and arterial pathology in individuals with vEDS, to evaluate disease patterns and refine management recommendations.
Methods: This cross-sectional, retrospective study of individuals with genetically confirmed vEDS was conducted between 2000 and 2015 at multiple institutions participating in the Vascular Low Frequency Disease Consortium.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) intervention for middle school students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as implemented by school mental health (SMH) providers using a randomized trial design. Seventeen SMH providers from five school districts implemented the HOPS intervention. Forty-seven middle school students with ADHD (grades 6-8) were randomly assigned to receive the HOPS intervention or to a waitlist comparison group.

Ten SMH providers from three school districts implemented the HOPS intervention with 11 middle school students with ADHD. Parent and teacher ratings of materials organization and homework management were collected pre- and post-intervention and treatment fidelity was assessed.
