Pediatric ICU admissions in the U.S. have increased significantly from 2001 to 2022, with rising complexity and costs, highlighting the need for expanded critical care resources and regionalized care.
The Bone Health Index (BHI), derived from metacarpal radiographs, predicts fracture risk more effectively than DXA in children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, especially infants under five where DXA is limited.
This article discusses a novel machine learning-based tool, especially XGBoost, to predict hearing loss risk in high-risk neonates using clinical factors for targeted early intervention.
This study compares HOTV and tumbling E vision tests in children aged 3 to 15, demonstrating HOTV’s superior accuracy and suitability for children under 8, potentially reducing unnecessary referrals in pediatric vision screening.
Lower ventricular chamber stiffness predicts adverse outcomes in Fontan patients, revealing a high-compliance, eccentric remodeling phenotype distinct from traditional stiffening hypotheses.
This article explores ethical dilemmas in pediatric endocrinology through case studies, applying the four-principle framework to guide clinicians in managing complex patient scenarios effectively and compassionately.
This study evaluates the eligibility of children with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) for thrombolysis with tPA, revealing only 19% potential eligibility under current guidelines, and highlights opportunities to reconsider treatment in small-ve
This study reveals that among term births, fetal size at birth more strongly predicts long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes than gestational age, with small-for-gestational-age infants demonstrating persistent academic challenges into adole
The PURSUE multicenter study demonstrates that implementing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols in pediatric patients undergoing complex lower urinary tract reconstruction significantly improves adherence to perioperative care standar
This study analyzes EBV infection and PTLD incidence in pediatric haploidentical HSCT, identifying prior CAR-T therapy, CMV viremia, and TBI conditioning as significant risk factors, with implications for enhanced monitoring and preemptive
Childhood exposure to siblings with Crohn’s disease significantly raises disease risk, linked to distinct gut microbiome changes that may drive disease onset through immune modulation.
A French longitudinal study finds no increased long-term complications or compromised quality of life in children under 4 years undergoing TBI-based HSCT for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, challenging prior age restrictions.
In pediatric myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), escalation of acute immunotherapy beyond steroids at first attack is linked to significantly fewer relapses within one year and mid-term follow-up, highli
A longitudinal study shows no association between fecal short-chain fatty acid levels during pregnancy and early childhood with the progression to islet autoimmunity in children at risk for type 1 diabetes.
Children with perinatal brain injury exhibit lower long-term success rates following strabismus surgery, mainly due to undercorrection despite comparable surgical dosing. Larger preoperative deviations predict poorer outcomes, underscoring
This review synthesizes evidence on paternal valproate exposure and offspring neurodevelopmental risks, highlighting recent large cohort data that challenge prior concerns of increased neurodevelopmental disorders or congenital malformation
This study investigates how the timing of primary palate repair before 15 months influences early speech outcomes, finding that even slight delays increase the risk of passive cleft speech characteristics by age 36 months.
A multicenter study demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of MED-EL cochlear implants in children under 12 months and in 12-71 month-olds with residual hearing, supporting expanded pediatric CI candidacy.
Circulating miR-1-3p levels rise before clinical signs of adrenarche and regulate adrenal steroid hormone production through protein kinase C signaling pathways.
Emerging evidence from prospective birth cohorts reveals a dose-dependent association between early respiratory infections and the risk of childhood atopic dermatitis, independent of genetic predisposition and antibiotic exposure.
