Abstract Objective: To analyze the satisfaction of those responsible for adolescents with information received for the use of psychotropic drugs. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in a reference outpatient clinic in Brasília between 2017 and 2019. It involved 173 legal representatives of adolescents diagnosed with Mental and Behavioral Disorders using psychotropic drugs. In order to identify the level of satisfaction about the information received on psychotropic drugs, the Satisfaction with Information about Medicines Scale (SIMS) was used. Results: Most guardians were dissatisfied with the information received on psychotropic drugs (n=112; 64.7%). The dissatisfaction with information about potential problems of medication was the one that stood out the most (n=127; 73.4%) when compared to information about action and usage (n=89; 51.5%). Participants considered information on the impact of medication on the adolescent’s sexual life unsatisfactory or nonexistent. Conclusions: The parents’ satisfaction with the information received about psychotropic drugs was low. Participants showed dissatisfaction with the information about potential problems, especially related to the impact on the sexual life of their tutored.

Abstract Objective: To systematically establish whether there is an association between polymorphisms and avascular necrosis in patients with sickle cell disease. Data source: The review, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines and registered with PROSPERO, was based on research of studies in PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, BVS databases and in the gray literature (Google Scholar and Open Gray) published until June 2020. The STROBE initiative was used to analyze the articles’ quality. Data synthesis: Ten articles were selected from the databases and two were included through manual search, totaling 12 studies. All samples gathered 2,362 patients. According to STROBE, seven studies fully and/or partially covered more than 70% of the essential items and two studies reached less than 60%, with an overall variation of 86.4–54.5%. The results indicate that polymorphisms in the genes of the bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6), Klotho (KL) and Annexin A2 (ANXA2) may be associated with osteonecrosis in the context of sickle cell disease. Six articles addressed the polymorphism in the MTHFR enzyme gene, but only one found a positive association. Polymorphisms associated with the DARC receptor, the ITGA4 gene, CD36 and thrombophilia protein genes were not associated in any of the studies. Conclusions: The results indicate that the polymorphisms in BMP6, Klotho and ANXA2 genes may be associated with avascular necrosis in patients with sickle cell disease. However, in order to confirm these genetic changes as risk factors, further studies with greater statistical power and methodological rigor are needed.

Abstract Objective: To perform a systematic review in order to verify the association between full-term birth of small for gestational age (SGA) children and the outcomes in the development of oral language. Data source: Articles from MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Lilacs, SciELO and Cochrane Library databases were identified, selected and critically evaluated by two independent reviewers and a judge, blindly, without language restriction and publication period. The PRISMA tool was used, and original studies with a theme involving children born full-term and SGA were included, outcome related to aspects of oral language development, as well as the use of tests, scales and/or specific questionnaires for the investigation, whose methodology was described in full, with children as the target population. Data synthesis: The researchers included nine articles based on the eligibility criteria. Studies have shown that being born SGA can interfere in aspects related to language and reported greater chances of under performance in SGA children when compared to children with appropriate size for gestational age. It was observed that the different studies did not have a uniform design, and the objectives were quite diverse. Furthermore, few of them had as focus issues related to the assessment of language, as well as the variability of instruments used to investigate this domain. Conclusions: The effects of low weight for gestation age in full-term infants continue beyond the neonatal period and may impact on children’s performance, mainly with regard to oral language development.
摘要目的:对小胎龄儿(SGA)足月出生与口语发育的关系进行系统评价。数据来源:文章来自MEDLINE/PubMed、Web of Science、Embase、Lilacs、SciELO和Cochrane图书馆数据库，由两名独立审稿人和一名法官进行盲审、筛选和批判性评价，不受语言和出版期限的限制。使用了PRISMA工具，并纳入了涉及足月出生儿童和SGA的主题的原始研究，与口语发展各方面有关的结果，以及使用测试、量表和/或具体调查问卷进行调查，其方法以儿童为目标人群进行了全面描述。数据综合:研究人员根据入选标准纳入了9篇文章。研究表明，出生时身材矮小的儿童会在语言相关方面受到干扰，与胎龄合适的儿童相比，身材矮小的儿童表现不佳的可能性更大。据观察，不同的研究没有统一的设计，目标也很不同。此外，其中很少有与语言评估以及用于调查这一领域的工具的可变性有关的重点问题。结论:足月婴儿的低体重对胎龄的影响持续到新生儿期之后，并可能影响儿童的表现，主要是在口语发展方面。

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the quality of children’s menus in restaurants located in shopping malls. Methods: To select the sample, restaurants from 30% of shopping malls in each region of the city of São Paulo were included and, after considering only one restaurant per chain, the total was limited to 151 restaurants, 30.2% of which (n=35) presented a children’s menu. Data were collected through a form on Google Forms. Results: Of the restaurants with children’s menu, 60% (n=21) were conventional restaurants and 40% (n=14) takeaway/fast-food. The large number of chains present in most visited malls showed a democratization of the way of eating, with popular and accessible menus, regardless of social status. Most of the analyzed foods were cooked (41.5%). Most preparations did not use grease in their preparation and there was a notable lack of fruit and vegetables (FV) (4%). Sweet desserts were offered in 11.4% of the places and 20% included gifts with meals. Conclusions: The scarce offer of children’s menus, few options and low FV offer indicate the need for a new look at the development of children’s menus and a greater integration between the possibilities of restaurants and the expectations of parents and children, in the challenge of integrating the relationship between the supply of new foods that promote healthier habits and their consumption.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess thyroid function in very preterm or very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates by measuring combination levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone TSH and free T4 (FT4) Methods: Inclusion criteria were defined as all very preterm (gestational age <32 weeks) or VLBW (birth weight ≤1500g) neonates with initial Thyroid Function Test (TFT) who were admitted to the Neonatal Intense Care Unit (NICU) of Taleghani Hospital, Tabriz, Iran, from March 2015 to March 2016. Exclusion criteria were the absence of initial TFT with any major congenital anomaly. The primary value of TSH was evaluated at 3–5 days, and mean levels of TSH with FT4 were measured at 2, 4, and 8-weeks. Results: Ninety-five neonates with a mean gestational age of 29.5 weeks were included, and the mean levels of thyrotropin and FT4 at postnatal week two were 4.4mIU/L and 1.4ng/dL, respectively. Two of the patients had serum TSH concentration >25mIU/L that was considered as permanent primary hypothyroidism. Among nine hypothyroxinemia cases, two had elevated TSH levels (10.8±0.4mIU/L at the end of 8 weeks) and normal FT4 concentration, and were considered transient hypothyroidism. Seven cases had normal TSH levels (1.6±1.0mIU/L at 2 weeks, 3.5±2.8mIU/L at 8 weeks) and low FT4 concentrations. Conclusions: Combined venous TSH and FT4 concentration at the end of the first postnatal month can be an efficient approach for detecting neonatal hypothyroidism.

ABSTRACT Objective: The main aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a platform designed for pediatricians to screen amblyopia using a smartphone. Methods: The medical records of consecutive children who received visual screening using a smartphone platform were retrospectively reviewed. The smartphone was used with a flash concentrator case and a software for capturing images of both eyes simultaneously by a photorefraction mechanism. The platform performance was compared to the comprehensive ophthalmological examination, which is considered the gold standard for detecting amblyopia. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the software in detecting amblyopia risk factors were calculated. Results: A total of 157 children were included, with a mean age of 6.0±.5 years (range 5–7). In 94% of the cases, the software was able to analyze the images and release a result, determining whether or not the child presented with amblyopia risk factors. Compared to the ophthalmological examination, the smartphone platform sensitivity in detecting amblyopia risk factors was 84%, the specificity was 74%, the positive predictive value was 86%, and the negative predictive value was 70%. Conclusions: The sensitivity and specificity of the smartphone photoscreening platform to detect amblyopia risk factors were within the range of traditional instrument-based vision screening technology. A smartphone photorefraction platform appears to be a promising cost-effective alternative to assist pediatricians and minimize obstacles to vision screening and amblyopia detection. Future studies are needed to gather additional comparative data.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the socioeconomic, demographic, environmental, reproductive, behavioral, and health-care factors associated with preterm birth. Methods: Case-control study, with case group composed of preterm infants and the control group by full term live births. Each case was paired with two controls according to sex and date of birth. Interviews were carried out with the mothers, as well as analysis of medical records. A logistic regression model was used for data analysis following the hierarchical order of entry of the blocks. Results: 221 live births were allocated in the case group and 442 in the control group. After analysis adjusted for other factors under study, the highest chances of prematurity were associated with being the first child (OR 1.96; 95%CI 1.34–2.86; p=0.001); mothers with the highest income (OR 2.08; 95%CI 1.41–3.08; p<0.001), mothers with previous preterm births (OR 3.98; 95%CI 2.04–7.79; p<0.001), mothers that suffered violence during pregnancy (OR 2.50; 95%CI 1.31–4.78; p=0.005) and underwent cesarean section (OR 2.35; 95%CI 1.63–3.38; p<0.001). Live births to mothers who had more than six prenatal consultations had a lower risk of prematurity (OR 0.39; 95%CI 0.26–0.58; p<0.001). Conclusions: The factors associated with a higher chance of prematurity were: higher family income, previous preterm child, primiparity, violence against pregnant women and cesarean section. Having attended more than six prenatal visits was associated with a lower chance of premature birth. Violence against pregnant women showed a strong and consistent association, remaining in all final models, and should serve as an alert for the population and professionals.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe then experience of implementing routine teleconsultations in respiratory physiotherapy at a reference center for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in Rio de Janeiro / Brazil, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive, study with children and adolescents with CF. The sample was divided between participants and those who did not participate in the teleconsultations. The teleconsultations were multidisciplinary and carried out by videoconference or telephone, depending on the patient’s availability. The sequence of care provided by the team was organized together with the professionals, so that everyone could carry out individual and sequential teleconsultations. Physiotherapy appointments were divided into two segments: teleconsultation and telemonitoring. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Results: Among the 184 patients assisted in the center, 153 (83.2%) participated in the teleservices and, of these, 33 (21.6%) required telemonitoring; 31 (16.8%) patients did not participate in the teleconsultations for not answering the calls. There was no statistical difference between the group that participated or not in teleservices, nor among those who participated in teleconsultations and telemonitoring. The mean age of the studied population was 7.0±0.4 years. Regarding the CFTR gene mutation, 64.7% had at least one F508del allele and 30.9% of the sample had no pathogens in the sputum test. Conclusions: Most participants with CF participated in teleconsultations, highlighting the importance of remote assistance activities during the COVID-19 pandemic period. This strategy was considered as positive, and it may become permanent in the care of patients with CF.

Abstract Objective: To describe clinical and epidemiological aspects of children and adolescents infected with the SARS-CoV-2 in the Municipality of Taubaté, SP, from March to November 2020. Methods: Cross-sectional study with secondary data obtained from the Epidemiological Surveillance System about confirmed cases in city residents and from medical records of patients who were treated in hospitals in Taubaté, aged between 0 and 19 years. Chi-square and Student’s t tests were used for comparisons. Results: 677 cases in the studied age range were reported during the study period, corresponding to 10.1% of cases reported in the municipality. The rapid antibody test was the most used to confirm infection, followed by RT-PCR and serology. Symptoms were described in 57.7% of the cases, mainly fever and cough. Diarrhea was associated with age below 4 years, while fever, cough, headache, odynophagia, ageusia, anosmia, myalgia, and dyspnea were associated with an age ranging from 10 to 19 years. In the study period, there were no deaths from COVID-19 of residents of the municipality in the age group from 0 to 19 years. Conclusions: The study was able to identify the proportion of involvement of COVID-19 in children and adolescents in the city, and the disease had a mild evolution. The main symptoms were fever and cough, but mainly diarrhea in younger children, and headache, odynophagia, anosmia, ageusia, and myalgia in adolescents.

Abstract Objective: To analyze the association between the pattern of sedentary time (bouts and breaks) with academic performance, with an emphasis on the mediating role of self-concept. Methods: Participants in the cross-sectional study were 394 adolescents (208 girls), aged 10–14 years, from sixth grade from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. The sedentary time pattern was measured through accelerometry. Definitions: sedentary bouts — uninterrupted periods of sedentary behavior; breaks — non-sedentary period between two sedentary bouts. The self-concept was estimated using the Piers-Harris II Inventory. Academic performance was obtained by school grades. Results: Short sedentary bouts were associated with higher academic performance in boys (1–4 minutes: β=0.035, p=0.007) and girls (1–4 minutes: β=0.031, p=0.014; 5–14 minutes: β=0.054, p=0.001). Long bouts (30 minutes) were associated with lower academic performance in boys (β=-0.023; p=0.011) and girls (β=-0.032; p<0.001). For girls, total and intellectual self-concept mediated the association between all sedentary pattern and academic performance (bouts 1–4 minutes [total: 39% and intellectual: 42.8%]; bouts 5–14 minutes [total: 21.5% and intellectual: 35.4%]; bouts ≥30 minutes [total: 22.6% and intellectual: 32.3%]; and breaks [total: 38.9% and intellectual: 40.7%]). For boys, the total (56.4%) and intellectual (82.9%) self-concept mediated only the association between bouts of 5–14 minute and academic performance. Conclusions: The pattern of sedentary time is associated with academic performance in adolescents and this association is mediated by self-concept, especially in girls.
