Reducing post-operative caregiver after-hours phone calls to pediatric urology providers: a quality improvement study
Caregiver phone calls are an important part of caring for pediatric patients. At our institution, residents respond to after-hours caregiver calls. While it is critical for families to be able to reach us for urgent concerns, the ease of access has led to overutilization with many phone calls not meeting the urgent nature that is intended for these calls.The primary aim of this quality improvement project was to decrease the number of non-urgent caregiver calls after-hours. Our secondary aim was to improve compliance with telephone encounter documentation and to standardize the documentation content.

Guidelines for Reporting Case Studies on Extracorporeal Treatments in Poisonings: Methodology.
iegand T, Ghannoum M Abstract A literature review performed by the EXtracorporeal TReatments In Poisoning (EXTRIP) workgroup highlighted deficiencies in the existing literature, especially the reporting of case studies. Although general reporting guidelines exist for case studies, there are none in the specific field of extracorporeal treatments in toxicology. Our goal was to construct and propose a checklist that systematically outlines the minimum essential items to be reported in a case study of poisoned patients undergoing extracorporeal treatments. Through a modified two-round Delphi technique, panelists (mos...

Pediatric Urologists' Personal Point-of-View of Health Related Quality of Life
To assess pediatric urologists' understanding and use of Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) resources in clinical practice. HRQOL is becoming an increasingly vital part of patient care. Although HRQOL has been evaluated and instruments developed for its assessment for several pediatric conditions, it is underrepresented in pediatric urology.

Pediatric Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.
Authors: Ricci Z, Goldstein SL Abstract BACKGROUND: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and peritoneal dialysis are the preferred forms of dialysis delivery in critically ill children for the treatment of severe acute kidney injury. The epidemiology and the outcome of acute pediatric dialysis will be reviewed. SUMMARY: The prospective pediatric CRRT (pCRRT) registry has provided important epidemiologic information: pCRRT is required in about 5% of patients in pediatric intensive care units, and the mortality rate of these patients is about 60%. CRRT outcomes are significantly associated with age, the pr...

Pediatric Acute Scrotal Pain: A Guide to Patient Assessment and Triage
Boys commonly present with acute scrotal pain to the emergency room. The potential associated high morbidity necessitates that our attending partners, trainees, and physician extenders in Pediatrics, Radiology, Emergency Medicine, and Urology be knowledgeable and trained in triage management principles. Yet, no electronic resources exist to provide such training. The aims of our study were to determine if an interdisciplinary clinical team (i.e. Pediatric Urology, Radiology, and Emergency Medicine) could co-create a CEVL e-learning platform and to determine its efficacy in educating our healthcare partners about such triage management.

Response To Commentary To 'Results Of Distal Hypospadias Repair After Pediatric Urology Fellowship Training: A Comparison Of Junior Surgeons To Their Mentor'
Because hypospadias repair is the responsibility of pediatric urologists, our specialty must simultaneously ensure that boys with this condition receive optimal care, and that fellows entering our profession graduate with the skills with which to provide such care. Ours is the first study that has assessed the efficacy of fellowship training in transferring those skills from a mentor.

Pediatric acute kidney injury in North India: A prospective hospital-based study.
Abstract The conducted study aimed to determine the incidence and clinical profile of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients using the AKI Network (AKIN) criteria. This prospective observational study was conducted at the Pediatric ward and pediatric Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary level teaching hospital in North India. The participants were 763 consecutive patients aged three months to 12 years from January 2014 to October 2015 and were assessed for eligibility. Of these, 163 patients were excluded from the study. Main outcome measure was incidence of AKI based on the AKIN criteria. Factors associa...

Improving care in pediatric urology —A primer on quality improvement methodology and how to apply it to pediatric urology
In the current era of disruptive technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, stem cell research, and other biotechnological advancements, some may wonder what all the hype is about quality improvement and patient safety (QIPS). With the healthcare climate trending toward merit and value-based reimbursement programs rather than the historical metric of volume, now more than ever, physicians, healthcare institutions, and patients are gaining greater interest in the quality of care they provide and receive [1,2].
