Nationwide Children’s comprehensive crisis care continuum connects youth and families with timely, individualized mental health support across hospital, outpatient and community settings. As pediatric mental health needs continue to rise, Nationwide Children’s has developed an integrated crisis care continuum designed to connect children and families with timely services matched to their clinical…
New research suggests delayed feeding progression may contribute to growth faltering, prolonged hospitalization and other complications in very preterm infants. For years, clinicians have largely assumed that preterm infants reach feeding milestones later because they are sicker. New research from Nationwide Children’s suggests the relationship may also work in the opposite direction.…
Genome sequencing (GS) has become standard for babies with congenital anomalies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Nationwide Children’s. To ensure that clinicians have access to genomic results as soon as possible, GS coordination is moving to the gestational period for families who are anticipating NICU care after delivery. A commentary about […]
A new international framework prioritizes molecular classifiers that could enable risk-adapted, biologically informed treatment for children, adolescents, and young adults with osteosarcoma. Despite substantial advances in understanding osteosarcoma biology, treatment has remained largely unchanged for more than four decades. An international working group has now developed a framework for…
New research suggests that a minimally invasive flow-diversion device approved for adults may offer a safe and effective treatment option for children with complex brain aneurysms. Pediatric intracranial aneurysms are rare, but when they occur, they can be among the most challenging cerebrovascular conditions to treat. Many have complex morphologies and locations that may not […]
Pre-X-ray Safety CHECK reduces repeat imaging, radiation exposure and diagnostic variability in the NICU. Portable radiographs are necessary for diagnosing disease and evaluating position of medical devices in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). However, repeat imaging due to poor-quality radiographs exposes vulnerable infants to additional radiation and unnecessary handling, disrupting their…
Randomized clinical trial assesses whether driving feedback technology, parent communication training or a combination reduces risky driving in teenagers with traffic violations. Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for adolescents in the United States. Teen drivers who receive traffic citations represent a particularly high-risk population, with elevated rates of repeat violations,…
