Moving from Challenge to Change
Children with complex care needs represent a growing and highly vulnerable population within inpatient hospital settings. They experience disproportionately long lengths of stay, higher rates of safety incidents, and poorer care experiences than other children. Their increasing prevalence in hospitals reflects broader advances in medical care that have improved survival, yet current inpatient systems remain largely designed around episodic, singl…
Building Bridges
Background/Objectives : Transitioning from pediatric to adult services can be challenging for youth with complex chronic health conditions, especially those with multi-morbidity. These youth often require extra coordination and support during this phase of their healthcare journey. Building upon existing provincial and national initiatives for transitions from pediatric to adult healthcare services, we have developed a hospital-wide program withi…
Efficacy of suicide prevention gatekeeper training in Israel
This study examines the efficacy of a gatekeeper training for suicide prevention among diverse at-risk populations in Israel. One hundred and ninety-three participants, engaging with adolescents, LGBTQ individuals, and the elderly, underwent a four-hour gatekeeper training session, conducted online or in-person. Pre- and post-training self-report questionnaires assessed attitudes toward suicide, perceived knowledge and ability to assist individua…
Exploring factors associated with the physical, mental, and financial health of unpaid caregivers
Family‐centred care interventions for children with chronic conditions
Association between maternal employment status and presence of children with major congenital anomalies in Denmark
MCMCAs were less likely to participate in the Danish workforce, less likely to be employed, and more likely to receive disability pensions than mothers of unaffected children. The rate of leaving the workforce intensified as their affected children grew older. The high demands of caregiving among MCMCAs may have long-term employment consequences even in nations with comprehensive and heavily tax-supported childcare systems, such as Denmark
New and continuing physician-based outpatient mental health care among children and adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic in Ontario, Canada
In the 18 months following onset of the pandemic, outpatient mental health care utilization increased for those with new and continuing care needs, especially among females and adolescents
Gaps in childhood immunizations and preventive care visits during the Covid-19 pandemic
Through the first 18 months of the pandemic, routine vaccines were delivered to children < 2 years old at close to pre-pandemic rates. There was a high proportion of incomplete well-child visits, indicating that developmental surveillance catch-up is crucial
From Philanthropy to Clinical Care through Research
Norman Saunders was a respected academic community paediatrician who was passionate about the care of children with medical complexity. Following his untimely death at age 60, patients, friends, and colleagues raised funds to create the Norman Saunders Complex Care Initiative (NSCCI). Dr. Saunders's vision was a comprehensive, coordinated, and integrated clinical program for children with medical complexity that was informed by research evidence.…
Cash transfer programs and child health and family economic outcomes
Implementing a Care Coordination Strategy for Children with Medical Complexity in Ontario, Canada
This study adds to the understanding of the processes involved in a population-level care coordination intervention for CMC. Lessons learned through CCKO can help facilitate reproducibility and necessary adjustments of the intervention in different settings
Publication Trends of Pediatric and Adult Randomized Controlled Trials in General Medical Journals, 2005–2018
Policy has been developed to promote the conduct of high-quality pediatric randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Whether these strategies have influenced publication trends in high-impact journals is unknown. We aim to evaluate characteristics, citation patterns, and publication trends of pediatric RCTs published in general medical journals (GMJs) compared with adult RCTs over a 13-year period. Studies were identified using Medline, and impact met…
Pulse oximetry screening for critical congenital heart defects in Ontario, Canada
Specialized Care without the Subspecialist
An underutilized value strategy that may reduce unnecessary subspecialty involvement in pediatric healthcare targets the high-quality care of children with common chronic conditions such as obesity, asthma, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder within primary care settings. In this commentary, we propose that "secondary care", defined as specialized visits delivered by primary care providers, a general pediatrician, or other primary care pr…
Genetic Testing among Children in a Complex Care Program
Little is known about the pattern of genetic testing and frequency of genetic diagnoses among children enrolled in structured complex care programs (CCPs). Such information may inform the suitability of emerging genome diagnostics for this population. The objectives were to describe the proportion of children with undiagnosed genetic conditions despite genetic testing and measure the testing period, types and costs of genetic tests used. A retros…
Residential movement patterns of families of young children with chronic conditions in Ontario, Canada
Young children with chronic conditions, particularly those born in low income neighbourhoods, are more likely to move residence than other healthy young children. However, it does not seem that proximity to specialized care is driving this movement. Further research is required to determine if these movement patterns impact the ability of children with chronic conditions to secure health services
Children With Medical Complexity
Children with medical complexity (CMC) have medical fragility and intensive care needs that are not easily met by existing health care models. CMC may have a congenital or acquired multisystem disease, a severe neurologic condition with marked functional impairment, and/or technology dependence for activities of daily living. Although these children are at risk of poor health and family outcomes, there are few well-characterized clinical initiati…
