Prognostic Indicators of Reorientation of Care in Perinatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Spectrum.
...Published in The Journal of pediatrics
To investigate the clinical, electrographic, and neuroimaging characteristics in neonates with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy who underwent reorientation of care using standardized scoring systems. A nested observational substudy within a prospective hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy cohort was conducted. Group 1 comprised infants whose pa...
Association between Exclusive Breastfeeding and the Incidence of Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome.
Published in The Journal of pediatrics
To assess the relationship between breastfeeding and the risk of developing nephrotic syndrome using a population-based nationwide birth cohort in Korea. This nationwide cohort study utilized data from the National Health Information Database and the National Health Screening Program for Infants and Children. The study included all children born be...
Correlation Between Skeletal Muscle Mass and Fat-Free Mass in Infants Born Very Preterm.
Published in The Journal of pediatrics
Assessing growth quality in preterm infants present challenges, particularly with the use of the standard fat-free mass measurement. We report here a moderate correlation between indirect skeletal muscle mass measurements using the D3-creatine dilution method and fat-free mass measured with air-displacement plethysmography. Skeletal muscle mass cou...
Bereaved Parents' Perspectives on Financial Toxicity at End of Life for Children with Cancer: A Qualitative Study.
Published in The Journal of pediatrics
To explore financial toxicity (FT) experienced by the parents of children with cancer at end-of-life (EOL), including exploring differences by race and ethnicity. We performed secondary analysis of semistructured interviews of bereaved parents' perspectives on quality EOL care. Fifty-five interviews were conducted in California and Alabama represen...
Racial Disparities in Palliative Care at End-of-Life in Children with Advanced Heart Disease in the South.
...Published in The Journal of pediatrics
To examine specialty pediatric palliative care (SPPC) and end-of-life care for children with advanced heart disease in Alabama, including rates of and disparities in SPPC involvement. We performed a retrospective study from electronic health records of children (≤21 years at death) who died with advanced heart disease at a single institution betwee...
Proteomics-Based Mapping of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia-Associated Changes in Noninvasively Accessible Oral Secretions.
Published in The Journal of pediatrics
To determine if oral secretions (OS) can be used as a noninvasively collected body fluid, in lieu of tracheal aspirates (TA), to track respiratory status and predict bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) development in infants born
Prenatal Opioid Exposure and Risk for Adverse Brain and Motor Outcomes in Infants Born Premature.
Published in The Journal of pediatrics
To compare brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers and neurodevelopmental test scores in infants born preterm with and without prenatal opioid exposure (POE). We examined 395 preterm infants (≤32 weeks gestational age) who had term-equivalent brain MRIs, composite scores from the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-III at 2 ye...
Time to Reaching Target Cooling Temperature and 2-year Outcomes in Infants with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy.
...Published in The Journal of pediatrics
To determine if time to reaching target temperature (TT) is associated with death or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 2 years of age in infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Newborn infants ≥36 weeks of gestation diagnosed with moderate or severe HIE and treated with therapeutic hypothermia were stratified based on time at which...
Diuretic Tolerance to Repeated-Dose Furosemide in Infants Born Very Preterm with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.
...Published in The Journal of pediatrics
To assess the presence and timing of furosemide diuretic tolerance in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and to determine if tolerance is modified by thiazide co-administration. We performed a retrospective cohort study among infants born very preterm with BPD exposed to repeated-dose furosemide for 72 hours, measuring net fluid balance...
