Neonatal Abstinence Signs During Treatment: Trajectory, Resurgence And Heterogeneity, Jennifer S. Miller, Henrietta S. Bada, Philip M. Westgate, Thitinart Sithisarn, Markos Leggas

Pediatrics Faculty Publications

Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) presents with a varying severity of withdrawal signs and length of treatment (LOT). We examined the course and relevance of each of the NAS withdrawal signs during treatment in a sample of 182 infants with any prenatal opioid exposure, gestational age ≥ 35 weeks, without other medical conditions, and meeting the criteria for pharmacological treatment. Infants were monitored using the Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring Tool. Daily mean Finnegan scores were estimated using linear mixed models with random subject effects to account for repeated withdrawal scores from the same subject. Daily item prevalence was estimated using generalized …

Primary Care Physician Trust: The Importance Of Early Medical Intervention For African American Children With Asthma, Harrish Ganesh

AUCTUS: The Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Scholarship

Asthma is a prevalent condition characterized by an individual’s airway becoming inflamed, constricted, and leads to the formation of mucus and difficulty breathing. Nearly 27 million individuals are currently diagnosed with Asthma in the United States, and African Americans are 40% more likely to be diagnosed with asthma than Caucasians. This literature review analyzed multifaceted barriers that restrict African American asthmatic children from gaining consistent asthma treatment. Some of these barriers range from historical racial discrimination that leads to parental mistrust to financial and educational barriers that result in inconsistent pediatric care for asthmatic children. The combination of the above …

Do Pediatric Patients That Receive Dexmedetomidine As Premedication Experience Less Emergence Delirium Than Pediatric Patients That Receive Midazolam As Premedication?, Shelby Mccloud

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Title: Do pediatric patients that receive dexmedetomidine as premedication experience less emergence delirium than pediatric patients that receive midazolam as premedication?

Problem Statement: Midazolam remains the current choice within the practice for premedication in the prevention of emergence delirium, however as research continues there could possibly be a gap between the research and current practice. Throughout the practice of pediatric anesthesia most providers choose to premedicate with midazolam while there may be a more beneficial option of dexmedetomidine.

Results: The study found a significant variance in the incidence of emergence delirium among pediatric patients, ranging from 18.1% to 89%, depending …

Ellmer School of Nursing Faculty Publications

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a commonly encountered diagnosis at pediatric urgent care (UC) centers. The urinalysis (UA) is usually the initial study in UC settings used to guide decisions regarding initiating empiric antibiotics and/or pursuing urine culture. However, studies in pediatric UC settings examining the ideal threshold for a positive result are lacking.

Methods: UA result data were extracted from the records of 6,327 pediatric patients, which were collected as part of a previous QI project. Logistic regression was used to determine the predictors of positive urine cultures. Decision trees for a positive UA result for both clean …
