Variation In Provider Specialization Among 139 Non-Affiliated Real-World Data Contributors, Joshua Koni, Rose Reynolds, Janelle R. Noel-Macdonnell, Mark A. Hoffman

Posters

Oracle EHR Real-World Data (OERWD) is a national de-identified data set useful for observational findings across 139 non-affiliated healthcare systems. Data in OERWD is associated with a de-identified provider ID categorized and documented using National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) taxonomy codes. There are 2,421,948 providers in OERWD associated with both their specialty and contributing organization. We profile the data for overall distribution and co-occurrence of specialties, enabling research related to treatment patterns and outcomes.

Preventing Migration Of Esophageal Silicone Covered Self-Expanding Metal Stent Using Dental Floss In A Pediatric Patient, Sofia Colon Guzman, Nadia Ibrahimi, Amornluck Krasaelap

Presentations

Temporary esophageal stents are an important and effective treatment for benign esophageal strictures, such as those caused by caustic ingestions. Fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FCSEMS) provide the benefit of continuous dilation pressure over longer periods of time compared to bougie or balloon dilation. However, stent migration is the most common complication and can be observed in up to 40% of patients, especially with FCSEMS and in refractory strictures. Typically, the stent is secured by using clips or suturing devices. However, we present a case where traditional methods of securing a stent were not possible due to the location of …

A Unilateral Myopic Shift Secondary To Sturge-Weber Syndrome Results In Refractive Amblyopia Of The Fellow Eye In A Pediatric Patient, Mckenzie Stewart, Christina Twardowski

Posters

A 4-year-old patient with unilateral glaucoma secondary to Sturge-Weber Syndrome causes a myopic shift. The fellow healthy eye maintains high hyperopia resulting in anisometropic refractive amblyopia, requiring occlusion therapy. It is well documented that a glaucomatous high IOP causes an expansion of the globe due to excessive plasticity of collagen fibers in pediatric eyes. The elongated axial length induces myopic shifts. In this patient, the myopic shift in her glaucomatous eye resulted in a unilateral high hyperopic refractive error in the fellow eye with normal ocular health. This anisometropia is enough to cause amblyopia in the hyperopic eye. In past …

Terminal Ileal Intubation In Retroflexion In A Pediatric Patient, Lakshmi Kunam, Antonia Fernandez Ovalle, Thomas M. Attard

Posters

Background: Terminal ileum (TI) intubation is integral to complete diagnostic ileocolonoscopy in children. It is necessary to determine terminal ileal involvement in patients with a broad spectrum of pathologic processes. In some cases the standard method of intubation does not lead to success and retroflexion is needed. Here we describe the case of terminal ileal intubation in retroflexion on a 14 year old female. Case description: 14 year-old female patient with a past medical history of chronic abdominal pain, NAFLD, anxiety, vulvovaginitis, lichen sclerosus, depression, constipation, delayed menses, and GERD who was admitted for 2 weeks of escalating symptoms and …

But, It's Just A Uti, Gillian Long

Posters

IgA Vasculitis is a commonly seen presentation in the pediatric population. The constellation of symptoms typically includes purpuric rash, joint pain, abdominal pain and hematuria. This 12 year old female was seen by her pediatrician for rash on her legs, shortness of breath, cough and night sweats that all started around 2 months ago. Additionally, a 25 pound weight loss was noted over the past year. The rash appeared as nonblanching purpura on her lower extremities, lending suspicion to IgA Vasculitis. She was first treated for UTI with cefuroxime, and then treated with steroids. Urinalysis showed persistent hematuria and she …

Decentralized Clinical Trials (Dcts): Facilitators & Barriers For A Pediatric Research Site, Abby Kietzman

Presentations

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic drastically altered the way clinical research is conducted through a widespread adoption of telemedicine practices. Using telehealth/telemedicine services allowed researchers to conduct “decentralized clinical trials”, or DCTs, for all or portions of study protocol procedures while maintaining safety measures implemented for pandemic control. However, current review of available literature details the explosion in use of decentralized clinical trials, resulting in gaps in evidence-based outcomes and lack of standardization across research entities. While sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) tend to lead the charge around adoption of DCTs, research sites are hesitant to make the transition …
