Moving toward the Development and Effective Implementation of High-Quality Guidelines in Pediatric Surgery: A Review of the Literature
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778020Applying evidence-based guidelines can enhance the quality of patient care. While robust guideline development methodology ensures credibility and validity, methodological variations can impact guideline quality. Besides methodological rigor, effective implementation is crucial for achieving improved health outcomes. This review provides an overview of recent literature pertaining to the development and implementation of guidelines in pediatric surgery. Literature was reviewed to provide an overview of sound guideline development methodologies and approaches to promote effectiv...

The CDH Study Group: Past, Present, and Future
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1778021The Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Study Group (CDHSG) is an international consortium of medical centers actively collecting and voluntarily contributing data pertaining to live born congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) patients born and/or managed at their institutions. These data are aggregated to construct a comprehensive registry that participating centers can access to address specific clinical inquiries and track patient outcomes. Since its establishment in 1995, 147 centers have taken part in this initiative, including 53 centers from 17 countries outside the United St...

The Development of the International Intestinal Failure Registry and an Overview of its Results
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2212-6874Pediatric intestinal failure (IF) is a rare disease that represents an evolving field in pediatric gastroenterology and surgery. With only a limited number of multicenter collaborations, much of the research in pediatric IF is often confined to single-center reports with small sample sizes. This has resulted in challenges in data interpretation and left many knowledge gaps unanswered. Over the past two decades, five large multicenter collaborations, primarily from North America and Europe, have published their findings. Apart from one ongoing European adult and pediatric registry,...

Selection of Quality Indicators to Evaluate Quality of Care for Patients with Esophageal Atresia Using a Delphi Method
Conclusion This study established a core indicator set of twenty-two baseline characteristics, eight outcome indicators, one structure indicator, and three process indicators for evaluating (quality of) EA care in Europe. These indicators, covering various aspects of EA care, will be implemented in the European Pediatric Surgical Audit to enable recognition of practice variation and focus EA care improvement initiatives.

Long-Term Functional Outcomes and Multidisciplinary Management after Ileorectal Duhamel Pull-Through for Total Colonic Aganglionosis —20-Year Experience in a Tertiary Surgical Center
Conclusion TCA can be associated with significant long-term morbidity. Nearly half of the patients in this series have ongoing problems with bowel continence requiring a permanent stoma in some. Diligent follow-up coupled with inputs of a multidisciplinary team has greatly helped manage these complex patients in our institution.

Development Methodology, Availability, and Implementation of Core Outcome Sets in Pediatric Surgery
Eur J Pediatr Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2196-1887Core outcome sets (COSs) provide a mechanism to guide researchers and clinicians when deciding which outcomes to report in research related to a specific clinical condition or intervention. The intention behind creating a COS for a specific condition is to improve the reporting of important and meaningful outcomes, thus enhancing the relevance of research. Additionally, a COS helps facilitate comparison of outcomes between different clinical studies and reduces research waste. In this paper, we discuss the availability of COSs in the field of pediatric general surgery. We provide ...

Point of Care Ultrasound in Pediatric Surgery across the European Region —European Pediatric Surgery Association Endorsed Survey
Conclusion There is a wide spectrum of POCUS use in pediatric surgery across Europe. For those surgeons who practice POCUS, it is most used for the diagnosis of abdominal conditions. There are differing views among clinicians concerning the most useful applications of POCUS. The extent to which ultrasound is taught during pediatric surgery training differs substantially across European curricula.

The Irish Experience with Sacrococcygeal Teratomas: Are Type IV Lesions More Common than We Think?
Conclusion In Altman's original 1974 study, type IV lesions were present in 10% of cases. As a result, this is the most frequently quoted figure. Type IV lesions were present in 28% of cases in our study. We propose that type IV lesions may be more common than the current literature suggests and consequently a higher index of suspicion of their presence should be entertained.
