Children with obesity and severe OSA usually stay overnight after tonsillectomy, but this study found most had no major complications. Oxygen nadir and AHI may help identify very low-risk patients who could be considered for same-day discha
Single-cell RNA sequencing suggests that childhood poverty exposure is associated with steroid-resistance signatures in leukemic blasts and adverse immune remodeling at diagnosis in standard-risk B-ALL.
This review evaluates 30 years of clinical outcomes for monocular congenital cataracts, revealing stagnant visual acuity results, high surgical burdens, and significant rates of secondary glaucoma and nystagmus despite surgical advances.
The Amblyopia Navigator offers evidence-based guidance for eye care professionals to improve early detection and treatment of childhood amblyopia, addressing specialist shortages through accessible digital tools.
New expert recommendations guide glucocorticoid dose reduction in pediatric classic CAH patients using crinecerfont, prioritizing normal growth while minimizing long-term steroid complications.
Registry data from 55,028 youths with type 1 diabetes show common LDL hypercholesterolemia, infrequent lipid-lowering therapy, and poor attainment of recommended LDL targets.
In a prospective multicenter evaluation, the EXCOR Active Driver supported pediatric VAD care with no major device malfunctions and excellent short-term survival, while addressing a major unmet need in mobility and day-to-day function.
A prospective multicenter study reports excellent survival, no graft failure, and very low GVHD with a thiotepa-based reduced-intensity matched sibling transplant platform for severe sickle cell disease.
An American Academy of Ophthalmology review found that frontalis flap, frontalis suspension, and maximal levator resection show overlapping success and exposure rates in severe congenital ptosis, with surgical choice often guided more by co
A 24-year Swiss registry study shows modest improvement in pediatric stroke recognition, but most children are still diagnosed beyond thrombolysis and thrombectomy windows.
In a phase 2 factorial trial, 12 weeks of nicotinamide riboside plus individualized exercise improved cardiopulmonary fitness in Friedreich’s ataxia, with mild-to-moderate adverse events and no signal of major safety concerns.
A retrospective study of 135 pediatric BBS patients reveals high prevalence of obesity (77.6%) and short stature (21.1%), with low rates of hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, and glucose metabolism disorders compared to adult populations.
A large EBMT study shows allo-HSCT provides favorable 2-year survival (65.7%) in high-risk t(6;9) AML, with superior outcomes in CR1 and pediatric/AYA patients. FLT3-ITD positivity triples relapse risk but doesn’t impact overall survi
DSDO lenses demonstrated significant efficacy in slowing axial elongation in myopic and non-myopic children, with pronounced effects in younger age groups and low myopia subgroups during the first 6 months of intervention.
A multiregistry analysis reveals that massive LVH in pediatric HCM is linked to early diagnosis, sarcomeric mutations, and heightened risks of arrhythmias, heart failure, and mortality. Nearly 25% of patients show significant LVH regression
A novel genomic fusion breakpoint (GFB)-based MRD monitoring approach demonstrates superior sensitivity and specificity in pediatric ALL, addressing limitations of current IG/TCR-based methods, particularly in ETV6::RUNX1- and MEF2D-rearran
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) increases diagnostic yield by 10% compared to gene panels in congenital cataracts, aiding in prognosis, reproductive counseling, and management.
A nationwide cohort study reveals that fetal reduction from triplets to twins lowers the long-term risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in surviving children compared to non-reduced pregnancies.
A multicenter study shows that observation with deferred CT decision-making significantly reduces CT use in children with blunt abdominal trauma, particularly in cases with intermediate clinician suspicion, without increasing missed injurie
A novel statistical model predicts chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in children at diagnosis, using age, sex, immunoglobulin levels, and lab values, offering early clinical guidance.
