Phenotyping Pediatric Long Covid
Background: The aim of this study was to identify patient clusters based on acute symptom profiles and individual characteristics most likely to develop pediatric post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), as well as clusters among patients with PASC based on post-acute sequelae and associated characteristics. Methods: This multicenter cohort study in 12 Italian pediatric units enrolled patients aged 0-17 years within three months of a l…
Enhancing the care of children with chronic diseases through the narratives of patient, physician, nurse and carer
We tested the hypothesis that a narrative approach may enhance a bio‐psycho‐social model (BPS) in caring for chronically ill children. Forty‐eight narratives were collected from 12 children with six different medical conditions, their mothers, physicians, and nurses. By a textual analysis, narratives were classified on their predominant focus as disease (biological focus), illness (psychologic focus), or sickness (social focus). Sixty‐one percent…
The effect of physician’s recommendation on seasonal influenza immunization in children with chronic diseases
Receiving a specific recommendation by a physician is a strong determinant of being immunized against seasonal influenza in children with chronic diseases independently of other factors. Heterogeneity exists among children with different chronic diseases regarding influenza recommendation despite international guidelines. Increasing the frequency of appropriate recommendations toward influenza immunization by physicians is a single powerful inter…
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy in children
Adherence to antiretroviral (ART) therapy, as reported by children caregivers, was investigated and compared with physicians' estimates of adherence. Two parallel structured questionnaires were administered to caregivers of 129 HIV-infected children and to their physicians in seven different Italian reference centers. Doses omitted in the last four days were recorded. Perfect adherence (>95% of prescribed doses taken in the last four days before …
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected children in Italy
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy is a major problem in children with HIV infection, who depend on parents or foster parents for receiving drugs. During an ongoing investigation on intestinal function in children with symptomatic HIV infection who were treated with zidovudine, blood samples were obtained six hours after the administration of zidovudine as reported by the parents and, again, one and six hours after its administration in the hosp…
