Article Abstract
Background: Although atopic dermatitis (AD) in children affects diverse stages of life, no studies have reported on the association between school readiness and AD.
Methods: This study used Korean National Health Insurance data and the Health Screening Program for Infants and Children. Among all children born between 2008 and 2012 in Korea, those who were assessed for school readiness through questionnaires in a health screening program performed at 54 and 60 months old were enrolled. AD was defined based on the International Classification of Diseases codes, with two or more prescriptions of topical corticosteroids during the first 54-60 months of life. The primary outcome was the association between school readiness and AD. The questionnaire relating to school readiness comprised six items - cognitive skills, social development, activeness, concentration, emotional development, and language skills. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the associations between school readiness and AD.
Results: This study included 239,673 children without AD and 38,229 children with AD. The average age at which school readiness was assessed was 4.8 years. AD was associated with vulnerability in activeness (adjusted odds ratio: 1.127; 95% confidence interval: 1.071-1.186) and concentrations (1.170; 1.093-1.254). The impact of AD on concentrations showed consistent results regardless of sex, exposure to systemic corticosteroids and antihistamines, and age at the diagnosis of AD.
Conclusions: Children with AD have vulnerability in school readiness in the aspects of activeness and concentration.

Background: Assisted vaginal birth is a lifesaving procedure where health workers use special devices to expedite birth vaginally when some complications emerge, such as due to prolonged labor. When the use of assisted vaginal birth is possible and appropriate, it provides benefits over cesarean section. These benefits include shorter recovery, reduced hospital stays, lower risks of complications, cost savings, and greater likelihood of vaginal birth in future pregnancies.

Background And Objectives: Increased referrals to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) from hospitalized people with opioid use disorder (OUD) carry risk for financial, safety, and legal consequences for poor transitions in care. We aimed to better understand the hospital to SNF referral process and identify opportunities to improve transitions and care for people with OUD, an increasing share of whom are older adults.
Research Design And Methods: Participants included administrative, executive leadership, and clinical staff involved in SNF admission decisions across the United States.

Background: Although exercises and physical activities are beneficial for overall health, it can unfortunately result in a musculoskeletal injury that requires a surgical intervention in physically active youth. One of the major injures young athletes sustain is anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, which often requires a surgical intervention. Following the ACL reconstruction (ACLR) surgery, athletes need to participate in rehabilitation and often perform return-to-sport (RTS) testing.
