Febrile neutropenia is a common clinical presentation in children that can be associated with invasive bacterial infection (IBI). However, in otherwise healthy children and youth with fever and neutropenia, the risk for IBI is low, with most cases being caused by viral infections. Well-appearing, non-oncologic, and presumed immunocompetent children aged 6 months to 18 years experiencing a first episode of neutropenia, with no additional risk factors, typically do not require empiric antibiotics. However, a thorough assessment, including complete history and physical exam, is indicated, and a blood culture should be performed when the absolute neutrophil count is <0...

La neutropénie fébrile est une manifestation clinique fréquente en pédiatrie, qui peut être associée à une infection bactérienne invasive. Cependant, le risque de ce type d'infection est faible chez les enfants et les adolescents autrement en santé qui font de la fièvre et présentent une neutropénie, la plupart des cas étant causés par une infection virale. Les enfants âgés de six mois à 18 ans qui ont l'air bien, ne souffrent pas d'un cancer, sont considérés comme immunocompétents et présentent un premier épisode de neutropénie, sans autres facteurs de risque, n'ont généralement pas besoin d'antibiotiques empiriques...

Inadequate prenatal care increases risk for maternal infections going undetected and untreated, putting both the mother's health and that of her infant at risk. When pregnant women present late to care, routine testing that impacts infant management should include: hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); serology for hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and syphilis; and testing for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae . If the mother was not tested before or after delivery and is not available for testing, the infant should undergo testing for HIV, HBV, HCV, and syphilis...

OBJECTIVES: Infant hip dysplasia or Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) occurs in 1-2% of births worldwide and leads to hip arthritis if untreated. We sought to evaluate the feasibility of implementing an artificial intelligence-enhanced portable ultrasound tool for infant hip dysplasia (DDH) screening in primary care, through determining its effectiveness in practice and evaluating patient and provider feedback. METHODS: A US-FDA-cleared artificial intelligence (AI) screening device for DDH (MEDO-Hip) was added to routine well-child visits from age 6 to 10 weeks...

Choosing Wisely Canada (CWC) is the national voice for reducing unnecessary tests and treatments in Canada. A small working group created by the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine developed a list of pediatric sport and exercise (SEM) recommendations based on existing research, experience, and common practice patterns. These recommendations identify tests and treatments commonly used in pediatric musculoskeletal assessments that are not supported by evidence and could expose patients to harm. Iterative feedback from key stakeholders informed the final list...

Adolescents with chronic diseases must adhere to medication regimens to control their symptoms and avoid long-term complications. Despite its importance, medication adherence is low among adolescents. This commentary briefly covers the challenges described in the literature associated with measuring and addressing low medication adherence in adolescents. Next, it presents the evidence for the link between medication adherence and two prevalent psychological characteristics that have not been properly assessed so far: delay discounting (i...

Le risque que des infections maternelles ne soient ni décelées ni traitées augmente lorsque les soins prénatals sont inappropriés, ce qui met la santé de la mère et de son nouveau-né à risque. Lorsqu'une femme enceinte se présente tardivement pour recevoir des soins, les tests systématiques qui influent sur la prise en charge du nouveau-né devraient inclure l'antigène de surface de l'hépatite B (AgHBs), la sérologie du virus de l'hépatite C (VHC), du virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH) et de la syphilis, de même que le dépistage de la Chlamydia trachomatis et de la Neisseria gonorrhoeae ...

Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in children, adolescents, and young adults beyond the newborn period in North America. Improving survival rates for patients with hard-to-cure cancer remains a challenge. One approach that has gained particular traction is 'precision oncology', whereby next-generation sequencing is used to identify genomic or transcriptomic changes that can help clarify the diagnosis, refine prognosis, define an underlying genetic cause, or identify a unique treatment target for a patient's cancer...

BACKGROUND: Public and healthcare practitioner awareness of climate change and the longitudinal health impacts of air pollution is growing; however, it is not always clear how to implement practical and feasible steps that individuals and communities can take to help decrease air pollution and protect children, and it can be challenging to request and enforce behaviour changes that the public associates with perceived personal inconvenience. In this context, it is important to consider common, chronic exposures that increase children's risks, especially when straightforward solutions with minimal negative impact where significant evidence-based positive results are available...

Kristian Goulet, Suzanne Beno
Concussions are a common injury both within and outside sport and recreational settings, and they remain a serious concern for children and youth. Any young person suspected of sustaining a concussion should be medically evaluated as soon as possible, and when the injury occurs during sport, the individual must be removed from play immediately to avoid secondary injury. A brief initial period of physical and cognitive rest is followed by supervised, stepwise return-to-learn and return-to-play protocols. All individuals involved in child and youth sports and recreation must be able to recognize risk for, and signs and symptoms of, concussion...

BACKGROUND: Youth and parent engagement is a key component of clinical research. There are many ways to actively and meaningfully engage youth and parents as integral members of research teams, for example, through ad-hoc committees, advisory councils, or as co-leads on projects. When youth and parents are actively and meaningfully engaged in research projects, they share knowledge from their lived experiences to improve the quality and relevance of research. METHODS: We describe a case-based example of engaging youth and parent research partners when co-designing a questionnaire to assess preferences for pediatric headache treatments, from both a researcher and youth/parent perspective...
