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…
Too young to pour
Background: Underage alcohol consumption remains a critical global public health concern, contributing to a wide spectrum of short- and long-term health risks. Despite age-based legal restrictions, alcohol persists as the most commonly used psychoactive substance among minors, outpacing tobacco, cannabis, and other drugs. Early initiation of alcohol use is strongly associated with heightened risks of addiction, impaired brain development, mental …
How air pollution fuels respiratory infections in children
Background: ), and carbon monoxide (CO) are associated with increased risks of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). While this association is well-documented, there are critical gaps in understanding the magnitude of these risks, the roles of specific pollutants, and the influence of age, sex, and exposure duration. Methods: To confirm the relationship between air pollution and respiratory tract…
Pediatric healthcare service utilization after the end of Covid-19 state of emergency in Northern Italy
Background Evidence exists on the major disruptions in pediatric healthcare services occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, but what happened when all restrictions were lifted is unclear. This study examined trends in pediatric hospital admission and Emergency Department visit rates during the first 12 months following the end of the state of emergency in Italy, compared to pre-pandemic levels. Methods We conducted a multicenter, retrospective, q…
Prevalence of Scoliosis in Children and Adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis
The prevalence of scoliosis in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) seems to be greater than in the normal population. Over the last two years, a screening for spinal deformities was carried out in patients with CF aged 5 to 18 years, followed up at the CF regional Centre in Parma (Italy). Forty-three patients (twenty-seven males, mean age: 11.8 ± 4.5 years) were enrolled in the study. Nine patients (20.9%) were diagnosed with scoliosis, with a mean …
Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria in Children and Adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis
In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria can predispose to exacerbations, limit the effectiveness of antibiotic treatments and promote the progression of lung disease. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare pulmonary exacerbations (Pex), hospitalizations, lung function and nutritional status in a group of children and adolescents with CF colonized by MDR bacteria and in a noncolonized control group. Ov…
Management of Children with Acute Asthma Attack
Bronchial asthma is the most frequent chronic disease in children and affects up to 20% of the pediatric population, depending on the geographical area. Asthma symptoms vary over time and in intensity, and acute asthma attack can resolve spontaneously or in response to therapy. The aim of this project was to define the care pathway for pediatric patients who come to the primary care pediatrician or Emergency Room with acute asthmatic access. The …
