Pediatric Trauma Recidivism: A Statewide Risk Factor Analysis of the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC)
National estimates suggest pediatric trauma recidivism is uncommon but are limited by short follow up and narrow ascertainment. We aimed to quantify the long-term frequency of trauma recidivism in a statewide pediatric population and identify risk factors for re-injury. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

Scientific Output by Latin American Women in Pediatric Surgical Sciences over the Past 11 Years: A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis
This academic article discusses the historical underrepresentation of female in science, with a focus on Latin America. It highlights the importance of both technical and non-technical skills in the medical-surgical field, particularly the role of research skills. The study aims to quantify and characterize the scientific output of Latin American female researchers over the past decade, providing insights into the challenges and opportunities in low and middle-income countries.

Factors Associated With Isolated Fallopian Tube Torsion in Pediatric Patients
Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is a rare form of adnexal torsion that is more difficult to diagnose, which may lead to delays in treatment. Our objectives were to identify clinical and radiologic factors associated with surgically-confirmed IFTT and compare them with those of patients without torsion and with adnexal torsion (AT) in a large pediatric population.

Reply to Letter to the Editor by Kaya C, et  al.
We thank Kaya and their colleagues for their interest in our paper. As in our discussion, we acknowledge that our study is significantly limited by its retrospective, non-randomised design. This leaves the possibility of a multitude of confounding factors affecting our findings, not least variability of surgeon preference. The decision as to whether or not to completely resect all necrotic bowel was at the discretion of the senior surgeon operating. We have made an attempt to control for this with a comprehensive set of demographic data and an approximation of the overall state of the baby using the nSOFA score, but acknow...
