Amino acid formula as a new strategy for diagnosing cow's milk allergy in infants: is it cost-effective?
CONCLUSIONS: The new strategy, which uses an amino acid formula in the elimination diagnostic diet followed by an oral food challenge, is a dominant pharmacoeconomic approach that has a lower cost and results in an increased number of symptom-free days.

Environmental Pollution: An Under-recognized Threat to Children’s Health, Especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Conclusions Patterns of disease are changing rapidly in LMICs. Pollution-related chronic diseases are becoming more common. This shift presents a particular problem for children, who are proportionately more heavily exposed than are adults to environmental pollutants and for whom these exposures are especially dangerous. Better quantification of environmental exposures and stepped-up efforts to understand how to prevent exposures that cause disease are needed in LMICs and around the globe. To confront the global problem of disease caused by pollution, improved programs of public health monitoring and environmental protecti...

Elective colectomy for severe ulcerative colitis may reduce mortality more than medical therapy
This study aims to assess whether patients with severe UC have improved survival after elective colectomy compared to those being treated with certain immunosuppressive therapies. Methods A retrospective matched cohort study was conducted by searching the Medicare/Medicaid database in all 50 states from 2000 to 2011 for...

Encephalitis in Australian children: contemporary trends in hospitalisation
Conclusion Hospitalisation of childhood encephalitis has slightly decreased in Australia. High rates of childhood immunisation have been associated with a reduction of varicella-associated encephalitis in Australian children. ADEM, an immune-mediated encephalitis, is the most common recognised cause of encephalitis in children. Young children (<1 year) have the highest admission rates. The high proportion of ‘unspecified’ encephalitis deaths and hospitalisations is an ongoing challenge.

Paediatric pain-related conditions impact healthcare expenditures
The objectives of this study, therefore, are twofold: (1) to assess the impact of paediatric pain-related conditions on national healthcare expenditures and (2) to compare incremental healthcare expenditures associated with paediatric pain-related conditions relative to asthma, ADHD and obesity in children. Methods This cross-sectional study linked two large, nationally representative databases: the 2007 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and 2008 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS)....

Relative cost-effectiveness of using an extensively hydrolyzed casein formula containing the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in managing infants with cow’s milk allergy in Spain
Conclusion: Using eHCF + LGG instead of eHCF alone or amino acid formulae for first-line management of newly-diagnosed infants with cow’s milk allergy affords a cost-effective use of publicly funded resources because it improves outcome for less cost. A randomized controlled study showing faster tolerance development in children receiving a probiotic-containing formula is required before this conclusion can be confirmed.Keywords: amino acid formula, cost-effectiveness, cow’s milk allergy, extensively hydrolyzed formula, Spain, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG

Ezetimibe provides incremental reduction in risk for cardiovascular events and need for revascularisation following an acute coronary syndrome
Commentary on: Cannon CP, Blazing MA, Giugliano RP, et al., IMPROVE-IT Investigators. Ezetimibe Added to Statin Therapy after Acute Coronary Syndromes. N Engl J Med 2015;372:2387–97. Context Use of statin therapy to treat dyslipidemia in patients with established coronary artery disease is the standard of care worldwide. Given the negative results of a number of trials that tested the use of adjuvant lipid-lowering therapies against a statin background, there has been great scepticism about whether or not non-statin drugs provide incremental benefit.1–3 Ezetimibe inhibits the absorption of both dietary and bili...
