Impact of Paired Central and Peripheral Blood Cultures in Children With Cancer
Children with cancer require central venous access which carries risk for line-related infections. The necessity of peripheral and central blood cultures is debated for those with fevers.

Blood culture results, laboratory data, and medical outcomes were included. Descriptive analyses of blood culture results and clinical data were performed. There were 190 episodes of paired positive blood cultures with 167 true positive episodes. Of the true positive episodes,...

In-hospital Mortality and Racial Disparity in Children and Adolescents With Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Population-based Study
Survival disparities in children and adolescents with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are documented, however, the etiology of these disparities is understudied. Few studies have evaluated factors that predict in-hospital mortality in childhood AML and racial/ethnic disparities associated with in-hospital death. Our study aimed to investigate factors associated with the risk of in-hospital death among childhood AML hospitalizations. We conducted a retrospective study of childhood AML hospitalizations using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2003 to 2017. We estimated incidences of in-hospital death among AML hospitaliza...
