  • Do pediatricians follow guidelines when managing status epilepticus in children?
  • What do NICU trainees consider to be ‘competency in intubation’?

  • Do children with autism have more sleep problems than other children?
  • Is it relevant to use a clinical scale to assess severity of EBV infection in children?
  • Can vitamin D during pregnancy prevent asthma in children?
  • What is the difference in host factors between cystitis and pyelonephritis?
  • Does montelukast cause neuropsychiatric events in children?
  • Do we become better doctors when parents or patients are grateful to us?
  • Is intranasal fentanyl safe for procedural pain management in neonates?
  • Does the early or late introduction of allergens change the development of atopic disease?
