Plasma Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (2 - 0) Index: A Precise and Sensitive Predictor of Acute Kidney Injury in Children Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass
CONCLUSIONS: Plasma NGAL is a predictive biomarker for acute kidney injury after pediatric cardiac surgery, and it may permit earlier intervention that improves the outcome of AKI. A 500% rise in plasma NGAL at 2 hours post-CPB initiation from its basal preoperative level (NGAL 2-0 index) is a precise, sensitive, and early predictor of AKI in children.PMID:38517003 (Source: Indian Pediatrics)

Anthropometric Growth Reference for Indian Children and Adolescents
CONCLUSION: The study findings revealed that the WHO one-standard-fits-all approach may lead to inflated estimates of under nutrition in India and could be a driver of misdirected policy and public health expenditure in the Indian context. However, these findings need validation through prospective and focussed studies for more robust evidence base.PMID:38517004 (Source: Indian Pediatrics)

The Indian Academy of Pediatrics and Directorate General of Health Services, Government of India White Paper on Transition of Care for Youth with Special Health Care Needs
Indian Pediatr. 2024 Mar 19:S097475591600616. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOver the years, survival of children with chronic diseases has significantly improved and a large proportion of them now are entering into adult hood. Transition of Care (ToC) of such patients with having childhood onset of chronic diseases to the adult health care system is well organized in developed countries, although it is an emerging concept in India. In situations where the systems for ToC are not in place, such cases are fraught with unsatisfactory health outcomes. With proper ToC in place, these patients are likely to receive uninterrupted...

Compensation in Neonatal Clinical Trials: A Perspective
This article examines the challenges in determining the quantum of compensation in neonatal clinical trials using the current formula, which is a corollary to the challenges faced by the authors in procuring clinical trial insurance for the Probiotic supplementation for Prevention of Neonatal Sepsis (ProSPoNS) trial. Further, it suggests a template for a differential formula using birthweight of infants, which is one of the many important factors impacting neonatal mortality.PMID:38517006 (Source: Indian Pediatrics)

Neurosonographic Findings in Infants with Rhesus Hemolytic Disease of Newborn: A Prospective Observational Study
Indian Pediatr. 2024 Mar 19:S097475591600614. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe estimated the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and/or periventricular leukomalacia/echogenicity (PVL/E) in Rhesus isoimmunized infants. Seventy-one infants underwent cranial ultrasound within the first 3 days of life or discharge, whichever was earlier. Of these, 27(38%) infants had IVH/ PVL/E. On multivariate analysis, lower gestational age (P = 0.035), small for gestational age [aOR (95% CI) 10.6 (1.9, 58.9)], and sepsis [aOR (95% CI) 4.5 (1.1, 18.4)] were ndependently associated with IVH/PVL.PMID:38517007 (Source: Indian Pediatrics)
