Journal Club may 2023

There are two interesting reviews: one on SMA and one on pituitary adenomas.

 

In the part with the clinical studies, you may find the answer to the following questions:

  • Is the neonatal sepsis calculator useful in cases where women are not routinely screened for GBS?
  • Who can best score postoperative pain: parents or the children?
  • Who suffers more (subjectively): children with gastroparesis or with IBS?
  • Is functional constipation associated with hypohydration?
  • Is cranial ultrasound useful in infants with minor head trauma?
  • Is ADHD is associated with shorter height, and is it due to the medication?
  • Who is best at assessing foreign body aspiration on chest X-ray: pediatric pulmonologists, pediatric residents or radiologists?
  • Do premenarchal AN patients display lower depressive symptoms than postmenarchal AN patients?
  • Almost all parents search for online health information, but do they act on it?
  • How common are invasive infections in infants who present to A&E with hypothermia?
  • And how common are they in well-appearing children who present to A&E with fever and petechiae?
  • And how common are they in children who present to A&E with fever and acute lower extremity pain?
  • Can nirsevimab protect healthy late-preterm and term infants from medically attended RSV infection?
