BACKGROUND Burn injuries are a huge public health issue for children. The aim of this study was to determine the demographic and etiological features, burn wound infections, and clinical trends of 2346 pediatric burns patients over 15 years in the southeast provinces of Turkey and to establish criteria for a pediatric burn prevention program. METHODS Age, gender, degree of burn, demographics,...

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is one of the most curable pediatric and adult cancers, with long-term survival rates now exceeding 90% after treatment with chemotherapy alone or combined with radiotherapy (RT). Of note, global collaboration in clinical trials within cooperative pediatric HL study groups has resulted in continued progress; however, survivors of pediatric HL are at high risk of potentiall...

Objective Our objective is to characterize the incidence of tracheostomy placement and new requirement for long-term mechanical ventilation after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) among children with acute respiratory failure. We examine whether an association exists between demographics, pre-ECMO ECMO clinical factors, a or need ventilation. Methods A retrospective multicenter cohort ...

Long-term survival of cancer patients has improved, and the sequelae treatment have become more evident. Mortality rates patients, adjusted for age, decreased globally, with a reduction by 17% from 1990 to 2019. The prevention left ventricular dysfunction secondary is still medical challenge. Drug-induced cardiotoxicity main limiting factor administration higher doses anthracyclines. Addressing...

1927 C ancer is diagnosed in >12 000 children and adolescents in the United States each year. 1 Progress in cancer therapeu-tics over the past 40 years has remarkably improved survival rates for most childhood malignancies. For all pediatric cancers , 5-year survival increased from 58% for children diag-2 In the United States, this success translates into >325 000 survivors of childhood cancer,...

BACKGROUND Neonatal tetanus continues to occur in many resource-limited settings but there are few data regarding long-term neurological outcome from the disease, especially in settings with critical care facilities. METHODS We assessed long-term outcome following neonatal tetanus in infants treated in a pediatric intensive care unit in southern Vietnam. Neurological and neurodevelopmental te...

8 The first study showed that older age at HSCT and total body irradiation and busulfan-based conditionings were risk factors for early ovarian aging. Leukemia survivors with previous cranial radiotherapy or transplanted after disease relapse were at high risk of premature ovarian failure. The second study showed a higher frequency of carotid and femoral arterial plaques, thickened intima layer...

BACKGROUND The development of new therapeutics has led to progress in the early management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in pediatric intensive care units (PICU). Little is known about the impact on the quality of life (QoL) of children and their family. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of CDH treated according to the most recent concepts and methods outlined above on c...
