Transforming Otoscopy Using Artificial Intelligence
The US Food and Drug Administration is the regulator for software applications using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for medical purposes. So far, the Food and Drug Administration has approved 692 such AI/ML-enabled medical devices, most of which are related to radiology or use image processing. Very few of these applications are applicable to pediatrics, and only 2 are specifically designed for use in the ear, nose, and throat domain. The work presented by Shaikh and colleagues in this issue of JAMA Pediatrics is a rare example of carefully developed and highly accurate AI/ML models designed for ped...

Definitional and Methodological Errors in Pediatric Post –COVID-19 Condition Research Letter—Reply
In Reply We thank Murdoch et al for their interest in our pediatric post –COVID-19 condition (PCC) research. Contrary to their suggestion, we believe our work is consistent with the referenced 2022 and 2023 World Health Organization (WHO) definitions of PCC. (Source: JAMA Pediatrics)

Definitional and Methodological Errors in Pediatric Post –COVID-19 Condition Research Letter
To the Editor The Research Letter by Hahn et al draws an invalid conclusion that the incidence of post –COVID-19 condition (PCC), as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), is strikingly low in children. The authors cite an informal summary definition of PCC in their Introduction, then in the Methods section change the definition’s symptom time frame from after 3 months postinfection to w ithin 3 months. The formal WHO definition is concerned with symptoms after 3 months, meaning the research did not study PCC as cited and cannot draw conclusions about PCC. (Source: JAMA Pediatrics)

Delving Deeper Into Maternal COVID-19 Vaccination and Neonatal Outcomes —Reply
In Reply We appreciate the opportunity to address concerns raised by Hsieh and Wei about not controlling for several potential confounders in our recent study. First, we agree that adjustment for race and ethnicity is important for obtaining unbiased estimates of the association between maternal vaccination during pregnancy and adverse neonatal outcomes. Although individual-level information on race and ethnicity was unavailable, we did include in the propensity score an area-level measure of ethnic diversity (ie, proportion of the population who identified as a visible racial or ethnic minority in the 2016 Canadian Census...

Extreme Heat and Preterm Birth Risk —Methodologic Considerations and Policy Implications
In this issue of JAMA Pediatrics, Ye et al report an analysis of more than 1 million births in the Greater Sydney region of New South Wales, Australia, revealing a significant association between extreme heat exposure in the third trimester and preterm birth (PTB). Individuals experiencing temperatures over the 95th percentile for their residential location during their third trimester had 61% higher odds of PTB (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.61; 95% CI, 1.55-1.67). There was no significant association of extreme heat in the other 2 trimesters with PTB. Ye and colleagues also observed significant interaction between heat and...
