Purpose: We aimed to identify the factors associated with the repeated febrile seizures (RFS), defined as recurrent seizures during the same febrile illness. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of children with febrile seizure who visited 4 academic emergency departments from October 2016 through September 2018. Differences were identified in variables regarding clinical and laboratory characteristics between the children with and without RFS. The RFS was the primary outcome. Logistic regression was conducted to identify factors associated with the occurrence of RFS. Results: Among 1,551 children, 922 were included in the study, of whom, 198 (21.5%) underwent RFS. Of the children with RFS, 188 (94.9%) underwent the recurrences within the initial 24 hours. Logistic regression showed focal seizure (adjusted odds ratio, 6.67; 95% confidence interval, 2.37-18.82), venous pH < 7.31 (5.89; 3.13-11.08), and postictal drowsiness > 30 minutes (1.90; 1.30-2.78) as the factors for RFS. Conclusion: In children with febrile seizure, focal seizure, acidosis, and prolonged postictal state may be independent risk factors for RFS. These findings may be informed to healthcare professionals and parents caring for children with febrile seizure.

신생아 루푸스는 임신나이 16-26주에 모체 자가항체가 태반을 통해 전달되어 발생한다. 1954년에 Bridge와 Foley가 모체의 루푸스 관련 인자가 신생아에 전달되는 것을 확인했고, 같은 해 McCuistion과 Schoch가 첫 증 례를 보고했다. 이 질환은 핵단백 항원인 SSA, SSB 또는 U1-리보핵산단백질에 대한 자가항체를 가지는 전신홍반 루푸스, 쇠그렌증후군, 류마티스관절염 등을 진단받은 어 머니로부터 태어난 신생아 중 약 2%에서 발생한다고 알려 졌다. 피부증상(약 40%)이 가장 흔하고 혈구 이상(약 20%), 간기능 이상(약 15-25%)도 나타날 수 있으며, 가 장 치명적인 선천심장차단은 약 25%에서 나타난다. 신생아 루푸스의 임상증상은 선천심장차단 외에는 비특 이적이므로, 열 및 발진으로 응급실을 방문한 3개월 미만 영아에서 이를 감별하기 어렵다. 감염을 우선 감별해야 하 지만, 증상이 지속하면 비교적 드문 감별진단인 신생아 루 푸스를 의심해야 한다. 본 저자는 자가면역질환이 없는 어 머니로부터 태어난 47일 여아가 열 및 발진으로 응급실을 방문하여 패혈증 및 다형홍반을 의심했지만, 상기 질환으 로 최종 진단한 증례를 경험했다. 본 증례는 열 및 발진을 동반한 3개월 미만 영아의 감별진단에 이 질환을 포함해 야 한다는 시사점이 있어, 이를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한 열과 발진을 주소로 응급실을 방문한 47일 여아에서 진단된 신생아 루푸스

While diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality of type 1 diabetes mellitus, recent studies have shown that 12%-56% of DKA cases occur in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Such cases are usually characterized by obese patients with family history of T2DM who show severe hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis.

Although most neonates will not require resuscitation, emergency clinicians must be prepared to manage neonates who require respiratory assistance. This issue reviews current expert recommendations and consensus updates of the best practices in resuscitation of neonates. An overview of neonatal physiology provides a framework for understanding how neonatal resuscitation differs from that of children and adults. A step-wise, systematic approach is provided for identifying and managing newborns who require resuscitation. The treatment, management, and over-arching goals for neonatal resuscitation and newborn care are also reviewed.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the gender differences in suicide attempts in adolescents. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of adolescents (≤ 18 years) who had visited a university hospital emergency department (ED) for suicide attempts from January 2018 through December 2019. General characteristics of the adolescents, details of the attempt, and outcomes were analyzed. The characteristics were age, gender, the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale, previous attempts, and psychiatric history. The details were initial Glasgow Coma Scale, attempt-arrival time, living alone, method, place, and motivation of the attempt, and concurrent use of alcohol. The outcomes included psychiatric consultation, ED length of stay, and ED outcomes. Results: A total of 86 adolescents were included. Their age ranged from 13 to 18 years, and girls accounted for 65.1%. The girls had more frequent psychiatric history than boys (66.1% vs. 30.0%; P = 0.001) without a significant difference in previous attempts (55.4% vs. 46.7%; P = 0.442). The most common methods of the attempt in the girls and boys were poisoning and sharp objects (53.3% [16 of the 30 boys] vs. 60.7% [34 of the 56 girls]; P = 0.002), respectively. No differences were found in the other details of the attempt and in the rate of psychiatric consultation. The girls had a longer ED length of stay (247.0 minutes vs. 186.5; P = 0.033), a lower rate of discharge against medical advice, and higher rates of hospitalization (discharge against medical advice, 53.6% vs. 76.7%; non-psychiatric, 23.2% vs. 3.3%; psychiatric, 12.5% vs. 0%; P = 0.003). Conclusion: Girls may make suicide attempts, usually by poisoning, and undergo relevant hospitalization, more often than boys. In contrast, boys usually use sharp objects, with a higher rate of discharge against medical advice and lower rates of the attempt and hospitalization.
目的:探讨青少年自杀倾向的性别差异。方法:我们回顾了2018年1月至2019年12月在某大学医院急诊科(ED)就诊的青少年(≤18岁)自杀未遂的医疗记录。分析青少年的一般特征、尝试的细节和结果。特征包括年龄、性别、韩国分诊和敏锐度量表、既往尝试和精神病史。细节包括最初的格拉斯哥昏迷量表、企图到达时间、独自生活、企图的方法、地点和动机以及同时使用酒精。结果包括精神科咨询、急诊科住院时间和急诊科结果。结果:共纳入86名青少年。年龄在13 - 18岁之间，女孩占65.1%。女孩比男孩有更频繁的精神病史(66.1%比30.0%;P = 0.001)，之前的尝试无显著差异(55.4% vs. 46.7%;P = 0.442)。女生和男生最常见的自杀方式是投毒和利器自杀，分别占53.3%(30例男生中16例)和60.7%(56例女生中34例);P = 0.002)。在企图自杀的其他细节和精神病学咨询的比率方面没有发现差异。女孩ED停留时间较长(247.0分钟vs 186.5分钟;P = 0.033)，不遵医嘱出院率较低，住院率较高(不遵医嘱出院，53.6% vs. 76.7%;非精神科，23.2% vs. 3.3%;精神科，12.5%对0%;P = 0.003)。结论:女孩可能有自杀企图，通常是中毒，并接受相应的住院治疗，比男孩多。相比之下，男孩通常使用尖锐物品，不遵医嘱出院的比率较高，尝试和住院的比率较低。

Purpose: To assess the effect of medically-attended injury (MAI) on the use of home safety equipment, we analyzed the differences in parents’ perception and attitude about injury prevention, and use of home safety equipment depending on the children’s MAI experiences. Methods: From March 2018 through February 2019, we surveyed parents of children aged 5 years or younger via a mobile phone. The parents were divided into the MAI and non-MAI groups. The mobile survey focused on the perception and attitude about injury prevention, and use of home safety equipment (if not used, barriers). Results: Of the 204 parents, 75 (36.8%) reported their children’s MAI, comprising the MAI group. This group used the safety equipment more frequently than the non-MAI group (odds ratio, 7.03; 95% confidence interval, 3.39-14.59; P < 0.001). No significant differences between the 2 groups were found in the perception and attitude about injury prevention, barriers to the use of the equipment, and the type of the equipment in use. Conclusion: Parents’ experience in their children’s MAIs was associated with the use of home safety equipment, but it did not affect their perception and attitude about injury prevention. A visit to the emergency department with MAI is an opportunity for education on injury prevention and changes of the attitude.

Head and neck infections can spread to nearby structures, compromising the airway and progressing to life-threatening events. Pediatric head and neck infections can be difficult to recognize; emergency clinicians must know the signs and symptoms of head and neck infections for early diagnosis and urgent management in order to prevent complications and decrease hospitalization rates. This issue reviews presenting signs and symptoms of pediatric head and neck infections, discusses when diagnostic studies are indicated, and offers evidence-based recommendations for management. Conditions reviewed include mastoiditis, sinusitis, Ludwig angina, peritonsillar abscess, retropharyngeal abscess, Lemierre syndrome, and acute suppurative thyroiditis.
