We aimed to evaluate the capacity of a new lung ultrasound score (LUSBRO) to predict the need for admission to the PICU compared to a clinical score. This was a prospective observational single-center study that includ...

Screening for hypo- or hyperthyroidism in adults is generally done by measuring the serum thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH) concentration. This is an efficient approach in case of suspected acquired thyroid disease. However, in infants and children, congenital hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis disorders also need to be consider...
