Article Abstract
To describe the epidemiology of intussusception before introduction of the rotavirus vaccine, we reviewed the records of 280 patients younger than 5 years who were hospitalized in Kenya between 2002 and 2013. The patients who died (18 [6.4%]) had sought care later after symptom onset than the patients who survived (median, 5 vs 3 days, respectively; P = .04). Seeking prompt care may improve therapeutic outcomes.

Background: Although prior studies have estimated the burden of pediatric surgical disease in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through statistical modeling and hospital- or household-based surveys, few large-scale descriptions of procedures and outcomes have been published. We aimed to describe the epidemiology and outcomes of children's surgical care at multiple centers across Africa.
Methods: Perioperative clinical data were collected prospectively from 2018 to 2023 at 17 hospitals in 11 African countries using a preexisting tool.

Cardiospondylocarpofacial syndrome (CSCFS) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant disorder resulting from variant in the gene, which encodes the transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1). Only 26 cases of CSCFS have been reported worldwide. The main manifestations are growth retardation, hypotonia, dysmorphic facial features, skeletal and limb abnormalities, cardiac septal defects with valve dysplasia, cardiomyopathy, and deafness with inner ear malformations.

Hematogenous metastases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to the small intestine are rare. In most cases, hematogenous metastasis is symptomatic, including perforation or bleeding, and the prognosis is poor. A 63-year-old man had lower right abdominal pain, and small intestinal obstruction due to chronic inflammation of the foreign body was suspected on computed tomography.

Subcommittee on Diagnostic Errors in Pediatric Outpatient Acute Care, Committee on Pediatric Emergency and Intensive Care, Japanese Pediatric Society, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Diagnostic errors are harmful and occur at unacceptably high rates. However, data regarding diagnostic errors in pediatric populations, particularly in acute outpatient care settings, remain insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of diagnostic errors, contributing factors, common symptoms, initial diagnoses, and final diagnoses in pediatric outpatient acute care in Japan and clarify the challenges that should be prioritized for preventing such errors.
