Background: Paxlovid, known for its efficacy against SARS-CoV-2, is currently limited in its use for treating pediatric COVID-19, particularly in severe or critical cases.
Methods: We conducted a study within a single-center, prospective cohort of 450 children diagnosed with COVID-19 between December 2022 and May 2023. This study included 30 pediatric patients who received Paxlovid and 60 matched controls who did not, based on factors such as age, disease severity, and underlying health conditions.
Background: Cervical lymphadenopathy is common in children and has diverse causes varying from benign to malignant, their similar manifestations making differential diagnosis difficult.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether radiomic models using conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could classify pediatric cervical lymphadenopathy.
Methods: A total of 419 cervical lymph nodes from 146 patients, and encompassing four common etiologies (Kikuchi disease, reactive hyperplasia, suppurative lymphadenitis and malignancy), were randomly divided into training and testing sets in a ratio of 7:3.
