Article Abstract
Objectives: Patients with advanced cancer and minor children experience high rates of depression and anxiety. However, associations between parental status and other aspects of the patient experience are not well understood. This study compared patient-reported outcomes of patients with and without minor children.
Sample & Setting: This was a retrospective analysis of 448 adults with stage III or IV solid tumors from a public research registry.
Methods & Variables: Multiple linear regression models or modified Poisson regression models were fitted to evaluate differences in health-related quality of life, global health, and patient satisfaction scores between patients living with and without minors.
Results: One in five patients lived with minor children. They reported significantly worse health-related quality of life, global physical health, and global mental health. They also expressed lower satisfaction with time spent with their provider, communication, and financial aspects.
Implications For Nursing: Patients with minor children may benefit from earlier identification and support for their psychosocial needs and concerns.

Background And Objectives: Social determinants of health (SDOH) are key drivers of health inequities, shaping disparities in patient outcomes that must be addressed. This study examines the association between SDOH and suspected child abuse (SCA) in pediatric patients sustaining traumatic brain injury (TBI), leveraging newly proposed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)/PLACES measures to identify the most contributing measure to SCA.
Methods: A retrospective review of our institutional database (2016-2023) identified pediatric TBI cases (18 years and younger) using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes based on a modified CDC framework.

Department of Pediatrics, Saban Research Institute, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Objective: This study aimed to identify key childhood obesity correlates in Southern California by analyzing individual components from four social determinants of health (SDoH) indices and explore their interactions.
Methods: We utilized publicly available data from 330 cities across 10 counties, incorporating childhood obesity rates from the 2019 California Department of Education Physical Fitness Test (684,419 children, 40% Latino). Fifty-two individual SDoH were obtained from the Healthy Places Index, Social Vulnerability Index, CalEnviroScreen, and Child Opportunity Index (2015-2019).
