Does Access To Care Influence A Child’S Presentation With Appendicitis?, Neal Talukdar

Research Days

Background + Objectives/Goal: Racial demographic and health care coverage impact how and when patients seek care. Previous studies have documented that minority children present with higher rates of perforated appendicitis. We aimed to identify if racial and coverage disparities were associated with the timing and mechanism of appendicitis presentation.

Methods/Design: We performed a prospective study of children (≤ 18 years old) who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy from May 2018 - September 2020. Prior to discharge, the patient’s parent/guardian completed a survey focused on health care encounters within the past year. Surveys were collected using RedCap®; data were analyzed using STATA®.

Results: …

Standardization Of Fertility Preservation Discussion Amongst Pediatric Oncology And Bone Marrow Transplant Patients: A Single Institution Experience, Chandni Dargan, Sarah E. Mc Dermott, Shelby Chesbro

Research Days

Background/Project Intent (Aim Statement): As treatment for pediatric malignancies improves long term survival, physicians are shifting focus to late effects of therapy such as infertility. Currently, options for fertility preservation include cryopreservation of mature oocytes, sperm, and gonadal tissue, although barriers remain present. Within our division, we lacked a standard approach to discussing fertility preservation options prior to initiation of treatment.

Methods (include PDSA cycles): Records from 474 pediatric patients with new oncologic diagnoses at CMH from 2014- 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. We evaluated the frequency that reproductive health discussions were documented in pubertal males and females requiring chemotherapy or …


Esophageal, Gastric, And Duodenal Histologic Findings In Patients With Feeding Difficulties, Amy Issa May 2021

Esophageal, Gastric, And Duodenal Histologic Findings In Patients With Feeding Difficulties, Amy Issa

Research Days

Background: The etiology of feeding difficulties in children is often multifactorial including medical, oral motor, and behavioral. Gastrointestinal etiologies have been identified as the primary medical component in children with feeding difficulties, however, there is not substantial information to predict which children will have a particular gastrointestinal disorder. The general consensus has been that children with feeding difficulties should have symptoms such as vomiting or abdominal pain to warrant performing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), but the validity of this approach has not been established.

Objectives/Goal: The aims of the current study were to describe EGD findings of patients presenting to a large …


Efficacy Of Pediatric Surgery Mobile Application For General Surgery Residents, James Fraser May 2021

Efficacy Of Pediatric Surgery Mobile Application For General Surgery Residents, James Fraser

Research Days

Background/Objectives/Goal: Integration of pediatric surgery content into the general surgery curriculum poses unique challenges as the patient population, pathophysiology, and management of surgical disease is distinctive from other subspecialties. Pediatric surgery represents approximately 2% of content on the in-training exam for residents (ABSITE) and is often underemphasized in didactic material, contributing to difficulty with preparation for these clinical rotations. We hypothesize that implementation of a mobile-based application with pertinent clinical algorithms and resources for pediatric surgical education will improve resident performance and enhance learning experiences in the management of pediatric surgery patients.

Methods/Design: Seventeen residents rotating on the pediatric surgery …

Learning From The Past: A Novel Approach To Reducing Unplanned Extubations In The Neonatal Icu, Yonatan Kurland

Research Days

Background/Project Intent (Aim Statement): The objective of this quality improvement project is to decrease unplanned extubations in a Level IV NICU to an annual rate of2020.

Methods (include PDSA cycles): We hypothesized that increased awareness of historical ETT position would both prevent unnecessary ETT position adjustments and encourage prophylactic adjustments to adjust for significant weight gain or loss. In December 2019, we implemented a novel intervention to provide readily accessible graphs of historical ETT tube position in each neonate with corrected gestational agecycles, we provided education to all members of the multidisciplinary team, we enlisted the Information Technologies Department to …

Improving The Rate Of Ppsv-23 Vaccination In Children With Type I Diabetes, Henry S. Jeng Dr

Research Days

Background/Project Intent (Aim Statement): The routine use of PCV-13 has resulted in a dramatic reduction in the incidence of pneumococcal infections among young children. However, serious pneumococcal infections caused by additional vaccine serotypes continue to occur in older children with high-risk conditions.1 As per the CDC, children with Diabetes should receive the PPSV-23 vaccine beginning at 2 years of age and at least 8 weeks after their last indicated dose of PCV-13.2 A review of division data from March 2016 to November 2018 revealed that only 2.6% of the eligible patient population with Diabetes have received the PPSV-23 vaccine. More …

Addressing Hpv And Hbv Immunizations In Pediatric Acute Sexual Assault Care, Katie A. Vandervelde

Research Days

Problem Statement/Question: Victims of sexual assault are at increased risk for acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Human papillomavirus (HPV). These immunizations are not curative, but each are >95% effective at preventing infections by the included viruses. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children who are victims of sexual abuse/assault, receive the HPV and HBV immunizations at the time of their initial medical evaluation for sexual abuse/assault. Knowing that child sexual assault victims are at increased risk for repeat assault, number of lifetime sex partners, and of being lostto-follow-up, in addition to …


Comparison Of Nasal Swab And Saliva Specimen For Detection Of Sars-Cov-2 In Children, Aaron Shaw May 2021

Comparison Of Nasal Swab And Saliva Specimen For Detection Of Sars-Cov-2 In Children, Aaron Shaw

Research Days

Background: Stemming from the rapid need for COVID-19 testing when supplies were limited, we investigated alternate sample processing methods and sample types for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Respiratory specimen processing using an automated nucleic acid extraction system (easyMAG) provides highly quality of nucleic acid for amplification. Reagents and supplies for easyMAG were on short supply during the pandemic, so alternative sample processing methods were investigated. Due to COVID-19 quarantine and isolation, a home kit for specimen collection was desired, particularly one that was less invasive than nasopharyngeal swabs. We investigated the sensitivity and parent/ child satisfaction of home collection kits evaluating saliva …
