School-aged and adolescent survivors of neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment still suffer from neurodevelopmental delays such as verbal, visuo-spatial and working memory problems, motor dysfunction and sensorineural hearing loss, respectively, later in life. These neurodevelopmental delays are normally assessed by neuropsychological testing within follow-up programs. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in 2-year-old survivors of neonatal ECMO treatment might be a predictor of neurodevelopmental outcome. Therefore, 56 children underwent DWI at 3 T. Fractional anisotropy (FA), first fibre partial volume fraction estimate (F1) and radial diffusivity (RD) are compared using tract-based spatial statistics adapted to a paediatric brain atlas and whole-brain voxelwise statistics with age and gender as covariates of no interest. A significant difference in FA, F1 and RD between no-ECMO and ECMO group is seen in major white matter tracts and subcortical white matter in gyri leading to the conclusion that these differences are driven by alterations in axon coherence. Additionally, we examine individual diffusion measures by looking at masks from 50 brain regions taken from a paediatric brain atlas. We find left anterior corona radiata, left and right corpus callosum (genu, body and splenium), left and right crus of fornix, left anterior limb of internal capsule, left anterior commissure, left tapetum and right uncinate fasciculus to have significantly different means in no-ECMO compared to ECMO group which matches the reports of neuropsychological delays found in behavioural tests. To conclude, analysing diffusion measures at an early stage of life serves as a good tool to detect structural white matter changes in survivors of neonatal ECMO treatment like lacking axon coherence in fibre bundles which develop early in life. The advantage of DWI lies in looking only at the neurobiology, e.g. white matter integrity. Compared to neuropsychological testing, DWI in this age range is a very time-efficient method which does not depend on the child's active participation. Additional targeted training could help to mitigate the neurodevelopmental deficits ECMO survivors face later in life.
接受过新生儿体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)治疗的学龄期和青少年幸存者,在以后的生活中仍会出现神经发育迟缓,如语言、视觉空间和工作记忆问题,运动功能障碍和感音神经性听力损失。这些神经发育迟缓通常在随访项目中通过神经心理学测试进行评估。本研究旨在证明,新生儿 ECMO 治疗后 2 岁幸存者的弥散加权成像(DWI)可能是神经发育结果的预测指标。因此,56 名儿童在 3 T 下接受了 DWI 检查。使用根据儿科脑图谱改编的基于束的空间统计和全脑体素统计对分数各向异性(FA)、第一纤维部分体积分数估计值(F1)和径向扩散率(RD)进行了比较,其中年龄和性别为无关协变量。在回旋区的主要白质束和皮层下白质中,无 ECMO 组和 ECMO 组之间的 FA、F1 和 RD 存在明显差异,由此得出结论,这些差异是由轴突相干性的改变引起的。此外,我们还从儿科脑图谱中提取了 50 个脑区的掩膜,对单个扩散测量进行了研究。我们发现,与 ECMO 组相比,无 ECMO 组的左前放射冠、左和右胼胝体(属、体和脾)、左和右穹窿嵴、内囊左前肢、左前裂、左舌骨和右钩状束的平均值明显不同,这与行为测试中发现的神经心理学延迟报告相吻合。总之,在生命的早期阶段分析弥散测量值是检测新生儿 ECMO 治疗幸存者白质结构变化的良好工具,如纤维束缺乏轴突连贯性,这在生命早期就已形成。DWI 的优势在于只观察神经生物学,如白质的完整性。与神经心理测试相比,该年龄段的 DWI 是一种非常省时的方法,不依赖于儿童的积极参与。更多有针对性的训练有助于减轻 ECMO 幸存者日后面临的神经发育缺陷。

BackgroundSex differences exist not only in the efficacy but also in adverse event rates of many vaccines. Here we compared the safety of BNT162b2 vaccine administered off-label in female and male children younger than 5 years in Germany. MethodsThis is a retrospective cohort study, in which we performed a post-hoc analysis of a dataset collected through an authentication-based survey of individuals having registered children aged 0-<5 years for vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in six private practices and/or two lay person-initiated vaccination campaigns. We analyzed the safety profiles of the first 3 doses of 3-10μg BNT162b2. Primary outcome was comparison in frequencies of 4 common post-vaccination symptom categories such as local, general, musculoskeletal symptoms and fever. Data were analyzed according to sex in bivariate analyses and regression models adjusting for age, weight, and dosage. Interaction between sex and BNT162b2 dosage was assessed. An active-comparator analysis was applied to compare post-vaccination symptoms after BNT162b2 versus non-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. ResultsThe dataset for the present analysis consisted of 7801 participants including 3842 females (49%) and 3977 males (51%) with an age of 3 years (median, interquartile: 2 years). Among individuals receiving 3μg BNT162b2, no sex differences were noted, but after a first dose of 5 or 10μg BNT162b2, local injection-site symptoms were more prevalent in girls compared to boys. In logistic regression, female sex was associated with higher odds of local symptoms, odds ratio (OR) of 1.33 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15-1.55, p<0.05) and general symptoms with OR 1.21 (95% CI: 1.01-1.44, p<0.05). Following non-BNT162b2 childhood vaccinations, female sex was associated with a lower odds of post-vaccination musculoskeletal symptoms (OR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.82, p<0.05). An active comparator analysis between BNT162b2 and non-SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations revealed that female sex positively influenced the association between BNT162b2 vaccine type and musculoskeletal symptoms. ConclusionsSex differences exist in post-vaccination symptoms after BNT162b2 administration even in young children. These are of importance for the conception of approval studies, for post-vaccination monitoring and for future vaccination strategies.(German Clinical Trials Register ID: DRKS00028759).
背景许多疫苗不仅在功效上存在性别差异,在不良反应率上也是如此。在此,我们比较了德国 5 岁以下男女儿童在标签外接种 BNT162b2 疫苗的安全性。这是一项回顾性队列研究,我们对通过认证调查收集的数据集进行了事后分析,调查对象是在六家私人诊所和/或两次非专业人员发起的疫苗接种活动中登记接种 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗的 0-<5 岁儿童。我们分析了前 3 剂 3-10μg BNT162b2 的安全性。主要结果是比较接种后 4 种常见症状(如局部症状、全身症状、肌肉骨骼症状和发热)的频率。在双变量分析和回归模型中,根据性别对数据进行了分析,并对年龄、体重和剂量进行了调整。评估了性别与 BNT162b2 剂量之间的交互作用。主动比较分析用于比较 BNT162b2 和非 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗接种后的症状。结果本次分析的数据集包括 7801 名参与者,其中女性 3842 人(占 49%),男性 3977 人(占 51%),年龄为 3 岁(中位数,四分位数之间为 2 岁)。在接受 3μg BNT162b2 治疗的患者中,没有发现性别差异,但在首次接受 5 或 10μg BNT162b2 治疗后,女孩出现局部注射部位症状的比例高于男孩。在逻辑回归中,女性出现局部症状的几率更高,几率比(OR)为 1.33(95% 置信区间 [CI]:1.15-1.55,p<0.05),而全身症状的几率比(OR)为 1.21(95% 置信区间 [CI]:1.01-1.44,p<0.05)。接种非 BNT162b2 儿童疫苗后,女性出现接种后肌肉骨骼症状的几率较低(OR:0.29,95% CI:0.11-0.82,p<0.05)。对接种 BNT162b2 和非 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗进行的主动比较分析表明,女性性别对 BNT162b2 疫苗类型与肌肉骨骼症状之间的关系有积极影响。结论即使是幼儿,接种 BNT162b2 后的症状也存在性别差异。这对审批研究的构想、疫苗接种后的监测以及未来的疫苗接种策略都具有重要意义(德国临床试验注册编号:DRKS00028759)。

Inflammatory syndromes, including those caused by infection, are a major cause of hospital admissions among children and are often misdiagnosed because of a lack of advanced molecular diagnostic tools. In this study, we explored the utility of circulating cell-free RNA (cfRNA) in plasma as an analyte for the differential diagnosis and characterization of pediatric inflammatory syndromes. We profiled cfRNA in 370 plasma samples from pediatric patients with a range of inflammatory conditions, including Kawasaki disease (KD), Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), viral infections and bacterial infections. We developed machine learning models based on these cfRNA profiles, which effectively differentiated KD from MIS-C - two conditions presenting with overlapping symptoms - with high performance (Test Area Under the Curve (AUC) = 0.97). We further extended this methodology into a multiclass machine learning framework that achieved 81% accuracy in distinguishing among KD, MIS-C, viral, and bacterial infections. We further demonstrated that cfRNA profiles can be used to quantify injury to specific tissues and organs, including the liver, heart, endothelium, nervous system, and the upper respiratory tract. Overall, this study identified cfRNA as a versatile analyte for the differential diagnosis and characterization of a wide range of pediatric inflammatory syndromes.
炎症综合征,包括由感染引起的炎症综合征,是儿童入院治疗的一个主要原因,但由于缺乏先进的分子诊断工具,常常被误诊。在这项研究中,我们探讨了血浆中循环无细胞 RNA(cfRNA)作为一种分析物对儿科炎症综合征的鉴别诊断和特征描述的作用。我们分析了 370 份儿科炎症患者血浆样本中的 cfRNA,这些炎症患者包括川崎病(KD)、儿童多系统炎症综合征(MIS-C)、病毒感染和细菌感染。我们根据这些 cfRNA 图谱开发了机器学习模型,该模型能有效区分 KD 和 MIS-C(这两种疾病的症状相互重叠),而且性能很高(测试曲线下面积 (AUC) = 0.97)。我们进一步将这一方法扩展到多类机器学习框架中,其区分 KD、MIS-C、病毒和细菌感染的准确率达到 81%。我们进一步证明,cfRNA 图谱可用于量化特定组织和器官的损伤,包括肝脏、心脏、内皮、神经系统和上呼吸道。总之,这项研究发现 cfRNA 是一种多功能分析物,可用于鉴别诊断和描述各种儿科炎症综合征。

Despite the high prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders, there are a lack of clinical studies examining the impact of pregnancy diet on child neurodevelopment. This observational clinical study examined the associations between pregnancy dietary patterns and neurodevelopmental diagnoses, as well as their symptoms, in a prospective cohort of 10-year-old children (n=508). Data-driven dietary patterns were derived from self-reported food frequency questionnaires. An Unhealthy dietary pattern in pregnancy (per SD change) was significantly associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) OR 1.66 [1.21 - 2.27], p=0.002 and autism diagnosis OR 2.22 [1.33 - 3.74], p=0.002 and associated symptoms p<0.001. Findings for ADHD were validated in two large (n=656, n=348), independent mother-child cohorts via blood metabolome modelling. Objective metabolite scores, assessed at five timepoints in mothers and children in two independent mother-child cohorts, indicated that the strongest association with ADHD was during early- to mid- pregnancy. These results provide evidence for targeted prenatal dietary interventions to prevent neurodevelopmental disorders in children.
尽管神经发育障碍的发病率很高,但目前还缺乏有关孕期饮食对儿童神经发育影响的临床研究。这项观察性临床研究在一个 10 岁儿童前瞻性队列(人数=508)中考察了孕期饮食模式与神经发育诊断及其症状之间的关联。数据驱动的饮食模式来自于自我报告的食物频率问卷。孕期不健康饮食模式(每标准差变化)与注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)OR 1.66 [1.21 - 2.27]、p=0.002,自闭症诊断OR 2.22 [1.33 - 3.74]、p=0.002及相关症状p<0.001显著相关。通过血液代谢组建模,在两个大型独立母子队列(人数分别为 656 人和 348 人)中对多动症的研究结果进行了验证。在两个独立的母婴队列中,对母亲和儿童的五个时间点的客观代谢物评分进行了评估,结果表明,与多动症关系最密切的时期是怀孕早期至中期。这些结果为有针对性地进行产前饮食干预以预防儿童神经发育障碍提供了证据。

Importance: In neonates with birth asphyxia (BA) and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, therapeutic hypothermia (TH), initiated within six hours, is the only safe and established neuroprotective measure to prevent secondary brain injury. Infants born outside of TH centers have delayed access to cooling.Objective: To compare in-hospital lethality, occurrence of seizures, and functional status at discharge in newborns with BA depending on postnatal transfer to another hospital within 24 hours of admission (outborn versus inborn). Design: Nationwide retrospective cohort study from a comprehensive hospital dataset using codes of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th modification (ICD-10). Clinical and outcome information was retrieved from diagnostic and procedural codes. Hierarchical multilevel logistic regression modelling was performed to quantify the effect of being outborn on target outcomes.Setting: All admissions to German hospitals 2016 - 2021. Participants: Full term neonates with birth asphyxia (ICD-10 code: P21) admitted to a pediatric department on their first day of life.Exposures: Transfer to a pediatric department within 24 hours of admission to an external hospital (=outborn).Main outcomes: In-hospital death; secondary outcomes: seizures and pediatric complex chronic conditions category (PCCC) >= 2. Results: Of 11,703,800 pediatric cases, 25,914 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Outborns had higher proportions of organ dysfunction, TH, organ replacement therapies, and neurological sequelae in spite of slightly lower proportions of maternal risk factors. The adjusted odds ratios (OR) for death, seizures, and PCCC >= 2 were 4.08 ((95 % confidence interval 3.41 - 4.89), 2.99 (2.65 - 3.38), and 1.76 (1.52 - 2.05), respectively, if infants were outborn compared to inborn. A subgroup analysis among infants receiving TH (n = 3,283) found less pronounced adjusted ORs for death (1.67 (1.29 - 2.17)) and seizures (1.26 (1.07 - 1.48)) and inversed effects for PCCC >= 2 (0.81 (0.64 - 1.02)). Conclusion and relevance: This comprehensive nationwide study found increased odds for adverse outcomes in neonates with BA who were transferred to another facility within 24 hours of hospital admission.

重要性:对于患有出生窒息(BA)和缺氧缺血性脑病的新生儿,在六小时内启动治疗性低温(TH)是唯一安全且成熟的神经保护措施,可防止继发性脑损伤。在治疗性低温中心以外出生的婴儿迟迟无法获得降温:目的:比较患有 BA 的新生儿的院内死亡率、癫痫发作发生率和出院时的功能状态,具体取决于出生后 24 小时内转院情况(外生与内生)。设计:使用《国际疾病分类》第 10 次修订版(ICD-10)的编码,从综合医院数据集中进行全国性回顾性队列研究。从诊断和程序代码中检索临床和结果信息。进行了分层多层次逻辑回归建模,以量化外生对目标结果的影响:2016-2021年德国医院的所有住院病例。参与者:出生窒息的足月新生儿(ICD-10代码:P21),出生后第一天入住儿科:主要结果:院内死亡;次要结果:院内死亡:主要结果:院内死亡;次要结果:癫痫发作和儿科复杂慢性病类别(PCCC)>=2。结果:在1170.38万例儿科病例中,有25914例符合纳入标准。尽管母体风险因素的比例略低,但新生儿出现器官功能障碍、TH、器官替代疗法和神经系统后遗症的比例较高。如果婴儿是外生的而不是内生的,则死亡、癫痫发作和 PCCC >= 2 的调整后几率比(OR)分别为 4.08(95 % 置信区间为 3.41 - 4.89)、2.99(2.65 - 3.38)和 1.76(1.52 - 2.05)。对接受TH治疗的婴儿(n = 3,283)进行亚组分析后发现,死亡(1.67 (1.29 - 2.17))和癫痫发作(1.26 (1.07 - 1.48))的调整OR值不太明显,而PCCC >= 2(0.81 (0.64 - 1.02))的影响则相反。结论及相关性:这项全国性综合研究发现,患有 BA 的新生儿在入院后 24 小时内转院的不良后果几率增加。应将产科与儿科联系起来,以尽量减少产后紧急转院的风险。各中心之间应加强合作与协调,以平衡不同级别医疗机构的地理覆盖范围。

Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction, along with restricted and repetitive behaviour patterns, interests or activities. Its prevalence has risen over the past few years, being four times more common in boys than girls. The cause of ASD is unclear, its etiology involves genetic, environmental, and gene-environment interactions. While past studies highlighted clinical genetic risks, genetic complexity of ASD, with variants of diverse frequencies, type, and inheritance patterns, requires further exploration for better management of disease. Researches have shown that the whole exome sequencing can be used to identify genetic variants associated with genetically heterogeneous conditions. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic variants by employing whole exome sequencing in an Indian ASD patient.Methods: A female patient of age within 0-5 years, having characteristic features like hyperactivity and language impairment, was investigated and diagnosed using DSM-5 criteria. Peripheral blood sample collection was done followed by DNA extraction and whole exome sequencing. Variants analysis, identification and annotation were done using bioinformatics tools and databases. Identified pathogenic variants were reconfirmed by Sanger sequencing.Results and conclusion: Our study uncover four genetic variations, comprising three missense variations in KIF1A (c.3839C>T), SETD5 (c.314A>C), MAPK81P3 (c.2849C>T), and one-stop gain variation in ERMARD (c.1523G>A). The ERMARD stop gain variation, predicted to induce nonsense-mediated decay, alter normal protein function through truncation and classified as likely pathogenic based on the ACMG guidelines and current available scientific evidence. In conclusion, we identified a likely pathogenic variant in ERMARD along with three missense variants in KIF1A, SETD5 and MAPK81P3 respectively. These findings suggest the potential contribution of ERMARD mutations to ASD susceptibility, emphasizing the need for further validation through functional studies. Keywords: Autism spectrum disorder, neurodevelopmental disorder, whole exome sequencing, language impairment, bioinformatics, missense variation
背景:自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)是一种神经发育障碍,其特征是在社会交流和互动方面存在持续性缺陷,同时在行为模式、兴趣或活动方面存在局限性和重复性。在过去几年中,其发病率有所上升,男孩的发病率是女孩的四倍。ASD 的病因尚不清楚,其病因涉及遗传、环境和基因与环境的相互作用。虽然过去的研究强调了临床遗传风险,但 ASD 遗传的复杂性,变异的频率、类型和遗传模式各不相同,需要进一步探索,以更好地管理疾病。研究表明,全外显子组测序可用于识别与遗传异质性疾病相关的遗传变异。本研究的目的是通过全外显子组测序鉴定一名印度 ASD 患者的遗传变异:对一名年龄在 0-5 岁之间、具有多动和语言障碍等特征的女性患者进行了调查,并根据 DSM-5 标准进行了诊断。采集外周血样本后进行了 DNA 提取和全外显子组测序。利用生物信息学工具和数据库对变异进行分析、鉴定和注释。确定的致病变异通过桑格测序再次确认:我们的研究发现了四种遗传变异,包括 KIF1A(c.3839C>T)、SETD5(c.314A>C)和 MAPK81P3(c.2849C>T)中的三个错义变异,以及 ERMARD(c.1523G>A)中的一个停止增益变异。据预测,ERMARD 停止增益变异会诱导无义介导的衰变,通过截断改变蛋白质的正常功能,并根据 ACMG 指南和当前可用的科学证据将其归类为可能致病变异。总之,我们在ERMARD中发现了一个可能致病的变异,同时在KIF1A、SETD5和MAPK81P3中分别发现了三个错义变异。这些研究结果表明,ERMARD突变对ASD易感性具有潜在的贡献,强调了通过功能研究进一步验证的必要性。关键词自闭症谱系障碍 神经发育障碍 全外显子组测序 语言障碍 生物信息学 错义变异

Objectives: We aimed to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a cohort of very preterm born children and adolescents (aged 5-16), and to compare it with their fullterm born siblings and the general population. We also explored correlates of HRQOL among the very preterm born. Methods: Cross-sectional survey. Primary outcome was KINDL total score (0 worst - 100 best). Linear mixed models accounted for family unit. Secondary analysis compared very preterm born children to another cohort of healthy children from the same time period. A classification tree analysis explored potential correlates of HRQOL. Results: On average, preterm children had a 2.1 point lower KINDL total score than fullterm sibling controls (95% CI -3.6 to -0.6). Compared to population controls, very preterm born children had a 1.4 point higher KINDL score (0.2 to 2.5). Chronic health conditions, age, and respiratory symptoms affecting daily life were key correlates of HRQOL among very preterm born children. Conclusions: Very preterm birth in children and adolescents was not associated with a relevant reduction in HRQOL compared to their fullterm born peers. However, lower HRQOL was likely explained by other factors, such as older age, the presence of chronic health conditions, but also by current respiratory symptoms that may be modifiable. A comprehensive assessment of the pulmonary sequelae provoking symptoms and interventions targeting medical management, physical activity and exercise capacity of preterm born children and adolescents may help to reduce respiratory symptoms and its potential influence on HRQOL needs to be investigated further.
研究目的我们旨在评估一组早产儿和青少年(5-16 岁)与健康相关的生活质量(HRQOL),并将其与足月出生的兄弟姐妹和普通人群进行比较。我们还探讨了早产儿 HRQOL 的相关因素。方法:横断面调查:横断面调查。主要结果为 KINDL 总分(0 分最差 - 100 分最好)。线性混合模型考虑了家庭单位。二次分析将极早产儿与同一时期的另一批健康儿童进行了比较。分类树分析探讨了 HRQOL 的潜在相关因素。结果:早产儿的 KINDL 总分平均比足月儿低 2.1 分(95% CI -3.6--0.6)。与人群对照组相比,极早产儿的 KINDL 得分高出 1.4 分(0.2 至 2.5)。慢性健康状况、年龄和影响日常生活的呼吸道症状是影响极早产儿 HRQOL 的主要因素。结论与足月出生的同龄人相比,儿童和青少年的极早产并不会导致相关的 HRQOL 下降。然而,较低的 HRQOL 很可能是由其他因素造成的,如年龄较大、存在慢性健康问题以及目前的呼吸道症状,而这些症状可能是可以改变的。对早产儿童和青少年的肺部后遗症症状进行全面评估,并针对医疗管理、体力活动和运动能力采取干预措施,可能有助于减轻呼吸道症状,其对 HRQOL 的潜在影响有待进一步研究。

Background: Pneumonia is the leading cause of preventable mortality under five years of age. Appropriate case management is as essential as disease prevention interventions, especially in primary care settings. Computer science has been used accurately and widely for pneumonia diagnosis; however, prognosis studies are relatively low. Herein, we developed a machine learning-based clinical decision support system tool for childhood pneumonia to provide prognostic support for case management.Methods: We analyzed data from 437 children admitted to our clinic with a pneumonia diagnosis between 2014 and 2020. Pediatricians encoded the raw dataset according to candidate features. Before the experimental study of the machine learning algorithms of Pycaret, SMOTE-Tomek was utilized for managing imbalanced datasets. The feature selection was made by examining the SHAP values of the algorithm with the highest performance and re-modeled with the most important clinical features. We optimized hyperparameters and employed ensemble methods to develop a robust predictive model.Results: Optimized models predicted pneumonia prognosis with %77-88 accuracy. It was shown that severity could be determined over %84 by five clinical features: hypoxia, respiratory distress, age, Z score of weight for age, and antibiotic usage before admission.Conclusions: In this experimental study, we demonstrated that contemporary data science methods, such as oversampling, feature selection, and machine learning tools, are promising in predicting the critical care need of patients. Even in small-size samples like our study, ML methods can reach current wisdom.
背景:肺炎是导致五岁以下儿童可预防死亡的主要原因。适当的病例管理与疾病预防干预同样重要,尤其是在初级医疗机构。计算机科学已被准确、广泛地用于肺炎诊断,但预后研究却相对较少。在此,我们开发了一种基于机器学习的儿童肺炎临床决策支持系统工具,为病例管理提供预后支持:我们分析了 2014 年至 2020 年期间本诊所收治的 437 名诊断为肺炎的儿童的数据。儿科医生根据候选特征对原始数据集进行编码。在对 Pycaret 机器学习算法进行实验研究之前,我们使用了 SMOTE-Tomek 来管理不平衡数据集。通过检查性能最高算法的 SHAP 值来选择特征,并用最重要的临床特征重新建模。我们对超参数进行了优化,并采用了集合方法来开发稳健的预测模型:结果:优化模型预测肺炎预后的准确率为%77-88。结果表明,通过缺氧、呼吸窘迫、年龄、年龄体重 Z 值和入院前抗生素使用情况这五个临床特征来判断肺炎严重程度的准确率超过了 %84:在这项实验研究中,我们证明了超采样、特征选择和机器学习工具等当代数据科学方法在预测危重病人的护理需求方面大有可为。即使是像我们的研究这样的小规模样本,ML 方法也能达到当前的智慧水平。

Background: Nunavut is a northern Canadian territory in Inuit Nunangat (Inuit homeland in Canada). Approximately 85% of the population identifies as Inuit. A high proportion of infants in Nunavut are admitted to hospital with acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) but previous studies have been limited in regional and/or short duration of coverage. This study aimed to estimate the incidence rate, microbiology and outcomes of ARI hospitalizations in Nunavut infants. Methods: We conducted chart reviews with a retrospective cohort of infants aged <1 year from Nunavut at six Canadian hospitals, including two regional and four tertiary pediatric hospitals January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2020. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression were performed. Results: We identified 1189 ARI admissions of infants during the study period, with an incidence rate of 133.9 per 1000 infants per year (95% confidence interval (CI): 126.8, 141.3). Of these admissions, 56.0% (n=666) were to regional hospitals alone, 72.3% (n=860) involved hospitalization outside of Nunavut, 15.6% (n=185) were admitted into intensive care, and 9.2% (n=109) underwent mechanical ventilation. Of the 730 admissions with a pathogen identified, 45.8% had respiratory syncytial virus (RSV; n=334), for a yearly incidence rate of 37.8 hospitalizations per 1000 infants (95% CI: 33.9, 42.1). Among RSV hospitalizations, 41.1% (n=138) were infants 0-2 months of age and 32.1% (n=108) were > 6months. Interpretation: Understanding the high burden of ARI among Nunavut infants can inform health policy and serve as a baseline for assessing the impact of any new interventions targeting infant ARIs.
背景介绍努纳武特是因纽特人努南加特(因纽特人在加拿大的家园)的加拿大北部领地。约 85% 的人口被认定为因纽特人。努纳武特地区有很高比例的婴儿因急性呼吸道感染(ARI)而入院治疗,但以往的研究局限于地区和/或覆盖时间较短。本研究旨在估算努纳武特地区婴儿急性呼吸道感染的发病率、微生物学和住院治疗结果。方法:2010 年 1 月 1 日至 2020 年 6 月 30 日,我们对努纳武特地区六家加拿大医院(包括两家地区医院和四家三级儿科医院)的 1 岁婴儿进行了病历回顾。研究人员进行了描述性统计和多元逻辑回归。结果:在研究期间,我们共发现 1189 例急性呼吸道感染入院婴儿,发病率为每年每 1000 名婴儿中 133.9 例(95% 置信区间 (CI):126.8, 141.3)。在这些住院病例中,56.0%(n=666)仅在地区医院就诊,72.3%(n=860)在努纳武特地区以外住院,15.6%(n=185)进入重症监护室,9.2%(n=109)接受了机械通气。在已确定病原体的 730 例住院病例中,45.8% 患有呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV;n=334),年发病率为每千名婴儿 37.8 例住院病例(95% CI:33.9,42.1)。在 RSV 住院病例中,41.1%(n=138)为 0-2 个月大的婴儿,32.1%(n=108)为 6 个月大的婴儿。解释:了解努勒维特地区婴儿患急性呼吸道感染的高负担可为卫生政策提供信息,并作为评估任何针对婴儿急性呼吸道感染的新干预措施的影响的基线。

Among RSV hospitalizations, 41.1% (n=138) were infants 0-2 months of age and 32.1% (n=108) were &gt; 6months. Interpretation: Understanding the high burden of ARI among Nunavut infants can inform health policy and serve as a baseline for assessing the impact of any new interventions targeting infant ARIs.","PeriodicalId":501549,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Pediatrics","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139945948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maternal stress and viral illness during pregnancy are associated with neurodevelopmental conditions in offspring. Children born during the COVID-19 pandemic, including those exposed prenatally to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infections, are reaching the developmental age for the assessment of risk for neurodevelopmental conditions. We examined associations between birth during the COVID-19 pandemic, prenatal exposure to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection, and rates of positive screenings on the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers-Revised (M-CHAT-R). Data were drawn from the COVID-19 Mother Baby Outcomes (COMBO) Initiative. Participants completed the M-CHAT-R as part of routine clinical care (COMBO-EHR cohort) or for research purposes (COMBO-RSCH cohort). Maternal SARS-CoV-2 status during pregnancy was determined through electronic health records. The COMBO-EHR cohort includes n=1664 children (n=442 historical cohort, n=1222 pandemic cohort; n=997 SARS-CoV-2 unexposed prenatally, n=130 SARS-CoV-2 exposed prenatally) who were born at affiliated hospitals between 2018-2023 and who had a valid M-CHAT-R score in their health record. The COMBO-RSCH cohort consists of n=359 children (n=268 SARS-CoV-2 unexposed prenatally, n=91 SARS-CoV-2 exposed prenatally) born at the same hospitals who enrolled into a prospective cohort study that included administration of the M-CHAT-R at 18-months. Birth during the pandemic was not associated with greater likelihood of a positive M-CHAT-R screen in the COMBO-EHR cohort. Maternal SARS-CoV-2 was associated with lower likelihood of a positive M-CHAT-R screening in adjusted models in the COMBO-EHR cohort (OR=0.40, 95% CI=0.22 - 0.68, p=0.001), while analyses in the COMBO-RSCH cohort yielded similar but non-significant results (OR=0.67, 95% CI=0.31-1.37, p=0.29). These results suggest that children born during the first 18 months of the COVID-19 pandemic and those exposed prenatally to a maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection are not at greater risk for screening positive on the M-CHAT-R.
母亲在怀孕期间的压力和病毒性疾病与后代的神经发育状况有关。在 COVID-19 大流行期间出生的儿童,包括产前暴露于母体 SARS-CoV-2 感染的儿童,正处于评估神经发育状况风险的发育年龄。我们研究了在 COVID-19 大流行期间出生、产前暴露于母体 SARS-CoV-2 感染与幼儿自闭症检查表修订版(M-CHAT-R)阳性筛查率之间的关系。数据来自 COVID-19 母婴结局(COMBO)计划。参与者在常规临床护理(COMBO-EHR队列)或研究目的(COMBO-RSCH队列)中完成了M-CHAT-R。孕妇在怀孕期间的 SARS-CoV-2 状态通过电子健康记录确定。COMBO-EHR 队列包括 n=1664 名儿童(n=442 名历史队列,n=1222 名大流行队列;n=997 名产前未接触过 SARS-CoV-2 的儿童,n=130 名产前接触过 SARS-CoV-2 的儿童),这些儿童于 2018-2023 年期间在附属医院出生,健康记录中有有效的 M-CHAT-R 评分。COMBO-RSCH 队列由 n=359 名儿童组成(n=268 名产前未接触过 SARS-CoV-2 的儿童,n=91 名产前接触过 SARS-CoV-2 的儿童),这些儿童出生在相同的医院,并参加了一项前瞻性队列研究,其中包括在 18 个月时进行 M-CHAT-R 评分。在 COMBO-EHR 队列中,大流行期间出生的婴儿与 M-CHAT-R 筛查呈阳性的可能性无关。在 COMBO-EHR 队列的调整模型中,母亲 SARS-CoV-2 与 M-CHAT-R 筛查呈阳性的可能性较低有关(OR=0.40,95% CI=0.22-0.68,p=0.001),而 COMBO-RSCH 队列的分析结果类似,但不显著(OR=0.67,95% CI=0.31-1.37,p=0.29)。这些结果表明,在 COVID-19 大流行的头 18 个月期间出生的儿童和产前暴露于母体 SARS-CoV-2 感染的儿童在 M-CHAT-R 筛查中呈阳性的风险并不大。
