Developing a Faculty Awards Strategy in an Academic Department: Recognizing Faculty and Promoting the Department
Within an academic department of pediatrics, talented faculty members actively contribute to the mission of improving child health through clinical care, education, research, mentorship, and advocacy. Opportunities to recognize faculty through awards for career achievements in these domains of academic medicine are available internally within the department and university and externally by professional societies, philanthropic groups, and community organizations. Awards are an important factor in defining the academic status of individual faculty members and their departments. (Source: The Journal of Pediatrics)

Pediatric Research without Parental Permission
When reviewing pediatric research, institutional review boards (IRBs) face two fundamental, and potentially conflicting imperatives. To reduce childhood morbidity and mortality, it is critical to conduct pediatric research. This imperative gives IRBs a compelling reason to approve valuable pediatric studies. IRBs also need to protect pediatric participants and ensure they are not enrolled in research inappropriately. To satisfy this imperative, IRBs typically require the permission of pediatric participants ’ parents or legal guardian. (Source: The Journal of Pediatrics)

Reclassification of Adolescent Ambulatory Prehypertension and Unclassified Blood Pressures by 2022 American Heart Association Pediatric Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Guidelines
Objectives To describe the epidemiology of reclassification of prehypertensive and unclassified adolescents by 2022 American Heart Association (AHA) pediatric ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) guidelines, and to evaluate the association of the new diagnostic categories with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).Study Design A single-center, retrospective review of ABPM reports from adolescents 13-21 years old, from 2015 through 2022, was performed. Adolescents with prehypertension or unclassified by 2014 guidelines were reclassified by 2022 definitions. (Source: The Journal of Pediatrics)

Secular Trends in Patent Ductus Arteriosus Management in Infants Born Preterm in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network
We evaluated changes in patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) diagnosis and treatment from 2012 through 2021 in a network of US academic hospitals. PDA treatment decreased among infants born at 26-28  weeks but not among infants born at 22-25 weeks. Rates of indomethacin use and PDA ligation decreased while acetaminophen use and transcatheter PDA closure increased. (Source: The Journal of Pediatrics)
