Timely recognition and initiation of basic life support (BLS) before emergency medical services arrive significantly improve survival rates and neurological outcomes. In an era where health information-seeking behaviors have shifted toward online sou...
BACKGROUND: In 2019, AABB released the bulletin "Recommendations on the Use of Group O Red Blood Cells" in which the recommendations about pediatric and neonatal blood transfusions were limited. Eight U.S. pediatric hospitals sought to determine tren...
BACKGROUND: Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Even though vaccination has reduced the incidence, cases have resurfaced in certain regions due to immune escape and waning vaccine efficacy. Identifying high-risk patients to mitigate...
Changes in the pace of neurodevelopment are key indicators of atypical maturation during early life. Unfortunately, reliable prognostic tools rely on assessments of cognitive and behavioral skills that develop towards the second year of life and afte...
BACKGROUND: Allergic rhinitis is a common disease that can affect the health of patients and bring huge social and economic burdens. In this study, we developed a model to predict the incidence rate of allergic rhinitis so as to provide accurate info...
BACKGROUND: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of leukemia among children and adolescents and can be life-threatening. The incidence of new cases has been increasing in recent years. Developing a predictive model to forecast t...
Early diagnosis and access to resources, support and therapy are critical for improving long-term outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is typically detected using a case-finding approach based on symptoms and family history,...
UNLABELLED: This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for moderate to severe bleeding in children with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Data from 286 ITP patients were prospectively collected and randomly split into training (80%...
BACKGROUND: Hands-and-knees crawling is a promising rehabilitation intervention for infants with motor impairments, while research on assistive crawling devices for rehabilitation training was still in its early stages. In particular, precisely gener...
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a thrombo-hemorrhagic disorder that can be life-threatening in critically ill children, and the quest for an accurate and efficient method for early DIC prediction is of paramount importance. Candidate ...
