Article Abstract

In this article, we describe the advances in the field of pediatrics that have been published in the Italian Journal of Pediatrics in 2020. We report progresses in understanding allergy, autoinflammatory disorders, critical care, endocrinology, genetics, infectious diseases, microbiota, neonatology, neurology, nutrition, orthopedics, respiratory tract illnesses, rheumatology in childhood.

Objective: We sought to measure whether receipt of an enhanced 18-month well-baby visit with use of a developmental screening tool versus a routine 18-month well-baby visit (which typically involves developmental surveillance without screening) is associated with time to identification of developmental delays.

Method: We conducted a cohort study of children (17-22 months) in Ontario who received an 18-month well-baby visit (March 2020‒March 2022), followed to September 2022 using linked health administrative datasets. Visits were categorized as enhanced (n = 83,554) or routine (n = 15,723).

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is associated with a high rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), ranging between 40% and 73%, and dexamethasone has been found to have a prophylactic effect on PONV in children undergoing tonsillectomy. In 2020, there was a sudden, severe shortage of intravenous dexamethasone given its role in treating patients with COVID-19. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the viability of an alternative: non-inferiority of oral versus intravenous dexamethasone for preventing PONV.

Objective: To compare postoperative outcomes of flap maturation (FMT) and conventional tracheotomy techniques in pediatric patients.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric database (2020-2021). Pediatric patients ≤ 18 years who underwent FMT (CPT 31610) or conventional tracheotomy (CPT 31600, 31,601) were included.

Clotting factor concentrate (CFC), used to treat and prevent bleeding in hemophilia, is rendered ineffective if clotting factor neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) develop. Inhibitors occur most often in children, early in treatment. The American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN) 8: US Cohort Study of Previously Untreated Patients (PUPs) with Congenital Hemophilia, conducted in children born in 2010 to 2020 with severe or moderate hemophilia, was designed to determine the percentage of participants who developed a confirmed, clinically significant inhibitor within the first 50 CFC exposure days (EDs).

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is rising in China alongside improved neonatal intensive care. Current screening, reliant on gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW), faces challenges of resource constraints and infant burden. Postnatal weight gain rate (WGR) is a potential predictive marker, but robust data on its value, particularly for severe ROP, and validated thresholds within the Chinese population are lacking.
