Screening for Type 2 Diabetes in Children and Adolescents
Investigators from multiple institutions in Germany conducted a cross-sectional study of overweight children to examine the relationship between fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glucose at 2 hours in oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT), and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Children were eligible if they were 7–17 years old, were overweight or obese (defined as a BMI >90th and >97th percentiles, respectively), did not have known diabetes, presented for care at a study hospital, and had an OGTT and HbA1c measurement the same day. Participants were categorized into 3 groups based on their OGTT or HbA1c results: norma...

Depressive Disorders in Preadolescent Children
Researchers from multiple institutions in Canada conducted a nationwide, prospective study to identify preadolescent children who were newly diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). For the study, 2,500 pediatricians in the Canadian Pediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP) were surveyed monthly over 3 years to report new cases of MDD, as defined by DSM-IV, among children aged 5–12 years. To meet diagnostic criteria for MDD, children had to have depressive symptoms or markedly diminished interest or pleasure in most activities almost daily and for most of the day, and impairment in at least 4 of 7 functional domai...

Oral Nadolol for the Treatment of SVT in Young Children
Investigators from Children’s Hospital Colorado and University of Michigan conducted a retrospective cohort study to assess the clinical course of infants with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) treated with nadolol. Children were eligible if they were <2 years old and had received nadolol for SVT at the University of Michigan Congenital Heart Center. Participants were identified through patient and pharmacy databases. Participant demographics and clinical characteristics and course, as well as nadolol dose, frequency of administration, and side effects, were obtained from the medical record of study participants....

Laundry Detergent-Related ED Visits
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham conducted a study to compare demographic characteristics and outcomes among children exposed to pod and non-pod laundry detergents presenting to emergency departments (EDs). For the study, data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database—which comprises a national probability sample of 100 US hospitals—were used. The NEISS database provides information on patients presenting at EDs with injuries involving various consumer products. The NEISS product code 0949 was used to identify cases of laundry detergent-related visits to th...

Acute Renal Injury in Critically Ill Children
Investigators from multiple institutions conducted the Assessment of Worldwide Acute Kidney Injury, Renal Angina, and Epidemiology study to determine the epidemiology and outcomes of children and young adults with acute kidney injury (AKI). Data were collected on patients aged 3 months to 25 years who were admitted to 32 pediatric intensive care units (ICUs) across Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America for 3 consecutive months in 2014. Based on published criteria, study patients were classified as having AKI if they had a ≥1.5-fold increase in serum creatinine (Cr) over baseline or developed decreased urine output ...
