While an estimated 55% of U.S. children play sports, growing sports specialization has led to a rise in overuse injuries resulting in pain and frequent medical visits, with 70% of these youth discontinuing organized sport by the age of 13. Pediatricians play a key role in recognizing the risk factors and warning signs and guiding prevention. Read this Pediatrics in Review article to recognize common injuries and the sports associated with them, identify best treatment plans, and learn prevention strategies that can help patients be active throughout their lives. https://bit.ly/4cfcnU5

Low-value care (LVC) occurs commonly in the pediatric emergency department setting with differences by race and ethnicity. However, little is known about whether the magnitude of these differences in LVC is reduced in hospitals with lower LVC rates. The authors of this study in Pediatrics examined the differences in LVC for common emergency conditions by race and ethnicity in US children’s hospitals, as well as the association between hospital characteristics, including LVC rate, and the magnitude of within-hospital LVC differences by race and ethnicity. https://bit.ly/3MGAilL

In 2019, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced recalls of inclined sleepers after a series of infant deaths were reported. However, infant deaths associated with inclined sleep products continue to be reported. Nearly one-third of deaths occurred after manufacturer recalls in 2019. This research article in Pediatrics reinforces the need for continued widespread, universal dissemination of product recall information and safe sleep guidelines to reduce sudden unexplained infant death risk. https://bit.ly/3Pd1zNe

According to data from a 2023 NIH report, more than two-thirds of pediatric hospital admissions in the U.S. occur outside of freestanding children’s hospitals (https://bit.ly/4sAdJhN). In this month’s Health Equity Rounds report in Hospital Pediatrics, Simmons et al use a clinical case we all at some points have been familiar with in our careers as hospitalists to illustrate how we can try to overcome geographical barriers to enhance pediatric subspecialty access.

Aluminum salts have been used as adjuvants in vaccines for nearly a century, enhancing the immune response to purified antigens and ensuring durable protection against serious infectious diseases. Despite their longstanding record of safety and effectiveness, aluminum adjuvants have become a focus of public concern, with claims linking them to developmental, neurologic, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. This review article in Pediatrics summarizes the immunologic rationale for aluminum adjuvants and evaluates the evidence for proposed safety risks. https://bit.ly/3MVYgcI

Children with medical complexity depend on medical devices to treat their medical conditions and disabilities. Prior research has linked problems with home devices to emergency care and hospitalizations. This study in Pediatrics highlights the identified challenges parents face with medical device safety, usability, access, and communication and identifies opportunities for improvement. https://bit.ly/4aWP13W

A newborn presented with bilious vomiting at just 24 hours of age, raising concern for a possible intestinal obstruction. An abdominal ultrasound was performed as an initial evaluation for malrotation with midgut volvulus. Imaging revealed nonspecific ascites, but notably, the classic whirlpool sign, which is typically seen when the superior mesenteric vein twists around the superior mesenteric artery, was absent.

Opioid overdose deaths are a leading cause of death for adolescents and young adults in the United States. Many young people, however, are not aware of basic harm reduction principles like overdose recognition, naloxone administration, and protections provided by Good Samaritan laws. This article in Pediatrics describes advocacy efforts to create peer-to-peer opioid education and naloxone distribution (OEND) and highlights the effectiveness of peer educators in providing engaging OEND efforts to adolescents in a high school setting. https://bit.ly/4rLGrfo

As hospitalists we need to be adept at capturing every bit we can, especially when assessing and treating children who are more acutely ill. In this Hospital Pediatrics article, Allard et al aimed to increase appropriate hourly critical care code use for eligible RRT events from 10% to 50%. Read the full article: https://bit.ly/4b7tTYZ
