A nationwide cohort study of 466,462 infants reveals that maternal pregestational diabetes significantly increases the risk of delayed developmental milestones, with type 1 diabetes conferring the highest risk and female offspring showing p
Secondary analysis of the MYRIAD trial reveals that while machine learning models can identify adolescents who may benefit from school-based mindfulness training, the clinical relevance of such predictions remains minimal. Both causal fores

In pediatric autoimmune hyperthyroidism, a higher FT3/FT4 ratio predicted relapse after antithyroid drug withdrawal, especially when orbitopathy was present.
The PHC HOD08 study demonstrates that an 8-week dose-dense modified Stanford V regimen achieves high complete response rates, allowing over 75% of low-risk pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma patients to avoid radiotherapy while maintaining an excep
This report examines the role of Intestinal Ultrasound (IUS) in pediatric Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis (ASUC). Results from 60 patients show that IUS metrics, specifically colonic wall thickness and the Milan Ultrasound Score, can accura
A landmark study using lesion network mapping reveals that cerebral palsy after neonatal stroke is driven by disruptions in extensive functional networks, including the thalamus and cerebellum, rather than just localized motor cortex damage
This article examines the landmark findings from the National Pediatric Prehospital Readiness Project, identifying critical gaps in emergency care for children and highlighting the transformative role of Pediatric Emergency Care Coordinator
The first national assessment of US EMS agencies reveals a critical need for improved pediatric readiness. While equipment scores are high, significant gaps exist in quality improvement and family-centered care, with Pediatric Emergency Car
