Background: Subspecialty consultation among hospitalists varies significantly across and within hospitals. While in many cases consultation is clinically necessary, in other cases it may represent overuse. Recent studies have explored predictors of consultation using observational administrative and EHR data. Qualitative methods may generate knowledge about additional factors and complex processes influencing consultation behavior not ascertainable […]

Background: The three most common childhood-onset chronic conditions for which adolescents and young adults (YA) use pediatric hospitals are congenital heart disease (CHD), cystic fibrosis (CF), and sickle cell disease (SCD). Existing studies do not establish clear clinical benefits to continued pediatric hospitalization over hospitalization at adult hospitals. We aimed to determine if if continued […]

Background: The clinical evaluation of febrile infants less than 28 days has been extensively studied with the aim to improve the sensitivity in identifying those infants at risk for invasive bacterial infections while decreasing the harm of unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures. Even though bacterial meningitis is associated with high morbidity and mortality, the incidence is […]

Background: As of March 30, 2022, the Food and Drug Administration now recommends follow up thyroid function testing (TFT) for children less than 4 years of age who have received IV iodinated contrast for imaging or procedures within 3 weeks of receiving contrast dye due to recent studies reporting subsequent thyroid dysfunction and the potential […]

Background: Pediatricians are mandated by law to report cases of suspected child abuse. The National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions 2006 guidelines on the hospital’s role in child maltreatment note that children’s hospitals “are the undisputed leaders in providing medical care to abused and neglected children” and outline that hospitals should ensure that […]

Background: Febrile infants under 60 days-old undergo extensive evaluation for infection. Recent AAP guidelines recommend evaluation of the procalcitonin (PCT) level in the work-up of febrile infants 8-60 days-old to aid in predicting bacterial infection (BI) due to its high specificity; however, the sensitivity of PCT is relatively low. Recent literature has identified the Procalcitonin-To-Albumin […]

Background: Adolescent e-cigarette use was declared as an epidemic by the U.S. Surgeon general in 2018 and has severe health consequences, including e-cigarette, or vaping, product use-associated lung injury (EVALI). It is known that e-cigarette use is associated with mental health disorders and psychosocial stressors; however, there is a knowledge gap in characterizing psychosocial stressors […]

Background: At the onset of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, asthma exacerbations reportedly decreased overall, raising the question if in contrast to other viruses, SARS-CoV-2 infection does not induce asthma exacerbations1,2. Like other viruses including endemic coronaviruses, there is theoretical risk of developing bronchospasm in response to viral infection with SARS-CoV-2 for patients with a […]
