BackgroundConsolidated, multidisciplinary care for children with cleft palates and craniofacial conditions is ideal, but no-shows and same-day-cancellations hinder such clinics.SolutionAdditional appointment reminders were ineffective, so we have initiated discussions with our hospital system and electronic medical record provider to implement a predictive risk model for patient non-attendance.What I/we did that is newOur innovative approach focuses on evaluating factors related to clinic non-attendance and engaging stakeholders in designing interventions aimed at increasing patient attendance and clinic utilization.

Background: Acute viral respiratory infections (AVRIs) rank among the most common causes of hospitalisation worldwide, imposing significant healthcare burdens and driving the development of pharmacological treatments. However, inconsistent outcome reporting across clinical trials limits evidence synthesis and its translation into clinical practice. A core outcome set (COS) for pharmacological treatments in hospitalised adults with AVRIs is essential to standardise trial outcomes and improve research comparability.

Routine growth monitoring includes plotting children on World Health Organization or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention charts that have primarily been developed on typical, healthy populations. However, it is advisable to plot children with known genetic conditions on specialized growth curves (SGCs) when they are available. In this review, we highlight the most common genetic conditions for which SGCs are available, clinical reasons to use SGCs based on specific rare diseases, and how these SGCs can be found.

Vulvovaginitis is a common complaint with a variety of etiologies in the pediatric and adolescent population. Health care providers who see these patients should be familiar with the common etiologies, evaluations, and treatments for these conditions. In this review, we will discuss the common presenting symptoms for vulvovaginitis and how the anatomy and physiology of pediatric and adolescent patients contribute to its development.

Introduction: Amivantamab plus lazertinib significantly improved progression-free and overall survival versus osimertinib in patients with previously untreated, EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC. EGFR-targeted therapies are associated with dermatologic adverse events (AEs), which can affect quality of life (QoL). COCOON was conducted to assess prophylactic management and improve treatment experience.

Objective: To determine the number of pediatric radiologists in the United States using professional imaging claims of children between 2016 and 2023 in a private payor claims database.
Methods: From 2016 to 2023, using private payer claims data (Inovalon Insights, LLC), all claim lines for radiology professional services billed by radiologists were identified. Each claim was assigned a work relative value unit (wRVU) in accordance with the CMS valuation for the claim year.
