Obesity is a pandemic that disproportionately affects children from vulnerable populations in the USA. Current treatment approaches in primary care settings in the USA have been reported to be insufficient at managing pediatric obesity, primarily due to implementation challenges for healthcare systems and barriers for families. While the literature has examined the efficacy of pediatric obesity interventions focused on internal validity, it lacks sufficient reporting and analysis of external validity necessary for successful translation to primary care settings. We conducted a systematic review of the primary-care-setting literature from January 2007 to March 2020 on family-based pediatric weight management interventions in …

Assessing The Gap In Adolescent Emergency Care Training For Emergency Medicine Residents: A Systematic Review., Eileen S Williams, Natalie Guerrero, Amy Sisson, Kathryn M Fisher

Library Staff Publications

Over 1.5 million U.S. adolescents rely on emergency services for the majority of their healthcare, with increasing presentations (particularly for mental health complaints) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, a majority of physicians practicing emergency medicine report feeling unprepared to care for adolescent patients. In turn, adolescent patients often report feeling uncomfortable or unsafe when attempting to access emergency care. Despite this deficiency, the extent to which adolescent medicine is addressed during emergency residency medical training remains unclear. Our objective in this systematic review was to identify any existing, publicly available curriculum targeted to teach adolescent emergency care …

Quality Assessment Of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Ultrasonography: Scoping Literature Review And Delphi Protocol., Mohammad I Hirzallah, Piergiorgio Lochner, Muhammad Ubaid Hafeez, Andrew G Lee, Christos Krogias, Deepa Dongarwar, Ramneek Manchanda, Lara Ouellette, Nicholas D Hartman, Michael Ertl, Felix Schlachetzki, Chiara Robba

Library Staff Publications

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The optic nerve is surrounded by the extension of meningeal coverings of the brain. When the pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid increases, it causes a distention of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), which allows the use of this measurement by ultrasonography (US) as a noninvasive surrogate of elevated intracranial pressure. However, ONSD measurements in the literature have exhibited significant heterogeneity, suggesting a need for consensus on ONSD image acquisition and measurement. We aim to establish a consensus for an ONSD US Quality Criteria Checklist (ONSD US QCC).

METHODS: A scoping systematic review of published ultrasound ONSD …
