Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the demographics and clinical outcomes of infants with brief resolved unexplained events (BRUE). DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING 11 centres within the Canadian Paediatric Inpatient Research Network. PATIENTS Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) following a BRUE (2017-2021) were eligible, when no clinical cause identified after a thorough history and physical examination. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Serious underlying diagnosis (requiring prompt identification) and event recurrence (within 90 days). RESULTS Of 1042 eligible patients, 665 were hospitalised (63.8%), with a median stay of 1.73 days. Diagnostic tests were performed on 855 patients (82.1%), and 440 (42.2%) received specialist consultations. In total, 977 patients (93.8%) were categorised as higher risk BRUE per the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. Most patients (n=551, 52.9%) lacked an explanatory diagnosis; however, serious underlying diagnoses were identified in 7.6% (n=79). Epilepsy/infantile spasms were the most common serious underlying diagnoses (2.0%, n=21). Gastro-oesophageal reflux was the most common non-serious underlying diagnosis identified in 268 otherwise healthy and thriving infants (25.7%). No instances of invasive bacterial infections, arrhythmias or metabolic disorders were found. Recurrent events were observed in 113 patients (10.8%) during the index visit, and 65 patients had a return to ED visit related to a recurrent event (6.2%). One death occurred within 90 days. CONCLUSIONS There is a low risk for a serious underlying diagnosis, where the majority of patients remain without a clear explanation. This study provides evidence-based risk for adverse outcomes, critical information to be used when engaging in shared decision-making with caregivers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Few studies have explored the relationship between social drivers of health and pediatric low-value care (LVC). We assessed the relationship between Childhood Opportunity Index (COI) 2.0 and LVC in children's hospitals. METHODS We applied the Pediatric Health Information System LVC Calculator to emergency and inpatient encounters from July 2021 through June 2022. Proportions with LVC in highest (greatest opportunity) and lowest COI quintiles were compared. Generalized estimating equation logistic regression models were used to analyze LVC trends across COI quintiles. RESULTS 842 463 encounters were eligible for 20 LVC measures. Across all measures, odds of LVC increased across increasing COI quintiles (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.08). For 12 measures, LVC was proportionally more common in highest versus lowest COI quintile, whereas the reverse was true for 4. Regression modeling revealed increasing LVC as COI increased across all quintiles for 10 measures; gastric acid suppression for infants had the strongest association (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.17-1.27). Three measures revealed decreasing LVC across increasing COI quintiles; Group A streptococcal testing among children <3 years revealed the lowest OR (0.85, 95% CI 0.73-0.99). The absolute volume of LVC delivered was greatest among low COI quintiles for most measures. CONCLUSIONS Likelihood of LVC increased across COI quintiles for 10 of 20 measures, whereas 3 measures revealed reverse trends. High volumes of LVC across quintiles support a need for broad de-implementation efforts; measures with greater impact on children with lower opportunity warrant prioritized efforts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine associations between presenting symptoms and oropharyngeal dysphagia diagnoses, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) diagnoses, and treatment with acid suppression medication in infants with brief resolved unexplained event (BRUE). STUDY DESIGN We performed a prospective cohort study of infants with BRUE to review presenting symptoms and their potential impact on testing and treatment. Videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) results and explanatory diagnoses were obtained from medical record review; acid suppression use was determined by parental survey. Binary and multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between presenting symptoms and obtaining VFSS, VFSS results, GERD diagnoses, and acid suppression medication. RESULTS Presenting symptoms were varied in 157 subjects enrolled at 51.0 ± 5.3 days of age, with many symptoms that may be related to GERD or dysphagia. Of these, 28% underwent VFSS with 71% abnormal. Overall, 42% had their BRUE attributed to GERD, and 33% were treated with acid suppression during follow-up. Presenting symptoms were significantly associated with the decision to obtain VFSS but not with abnormal VFSS results. Presenting symptoms were also associated with provision of GERD explanatory diagnoses. Both presenting symptoms and GERD explanatory diagnoses were associated with acid suppression use (aOR 2.3, 95% CI 1.03-5.3, P = .04). CONCLUSIONS Presenting symptoms may play a role in clinicians' decisions on which BRUE patients undergo VFSS but are unreliable to make a diagnosis of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Presenting symptoms may also influence assignment of GERD explanatory diagnoses that is associated with increased acid suppression medication use.

Abstract
Pediatric obesity is a growing health concern, affecting millions of children worldwide. While pharmacokinetic (PK) changes in numerous commonly prescribed medications have been linked to obesity, the physiological mechanisms driving these alterations and their implications for drug dosing remain poorly understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate previously reported observations of reduced pantoprazole clearance (CL) in children with obesity, investigate obesity-related characteristics in liver physiology as explanatory causes for these observations, and evaluate the clinical relevance of obesity on drug dosing. A prospective, comparative PK study, enrolling participants 6-21 years of age, with and without obesity, was conducted to evaluate the association between obesity-related characteristics and pantoprazole CL. A nonlinear mixed-effects modeling approach was used to identify sources of interindividual variability in pantoprazole PK. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to assess pantoprazole exposure in children and evaluate the association between obesity and pantoprazole exposure. The study population consisted of 39 pediatric participants: 31% without obesity and 69% with obesity. A two-compartment PK model with covariate effects of total body weight (TBW), CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotype, and obesity status adequately described the PK data. After accounting for differences due to TBW and CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotype, obesity was associated with an estimated 18% reduction in pantoprazole CL (comparable to the reduction estimated for a CYP2C19 loss of function allele). Further research is warranted to evaluate the physiological mechanisms associated with reduced drug CL in children with increased body size and the implications for drug dosing.

Impact of pembrolizumab treatment duration on overall survival and prognostic factors in advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a nationwide retrospective cohort study. THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. EUROPE 2024; 43:100970.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of front-line pembrolizumab has been established in studies that limit treatment duration to 2 years, but decision to stop pembrolizumab after 2 years is often at physician's discretion. ATHENA is a retrospective cohort study using a comprehensive administrative database aimed firstly at exploring the optimal duration of pembrolizumab and secondly real-life prognosis factors in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Using the French National Health Insurance database (SNDS), we identified patients with incident lung cancer in France from 2015 to 2022. Treatments and patients' characteristics were extracted or inferred from hospital, outpatient care, pharmacy delivery reports. The duration's hazard ratio (HR) was estimated with Cox model weighted by inverse of propensity score to account for confounding. Prognostics factors in first line population were identified with Cox model selected by a LASSO procedure. Findings 391,106 patients with lung cancer were identified, of whom 43,359 received up-front pembrolizumab for an advanced disease. There were 67% (29,040/43,359) of male and the median age at diagnosis was 65 years old. After a median follow-up time of 25.9 months (min-max, [0-97.6]), the median overall survival (OS) after pembrolizumab initiation in first line was 15.7 [CI 95, 15.3-16.0] months. In multivariable analysis, several covariables were independently associated with worse OS, including male sex with chemo-immunotherapy, age, hospital category, high deprivation index, inpatient hospitalization for first pembrolizumab, and history of diabetes, diuretic, beta blocker, painkiller prescription. At landmark time of 29 months after pembrolizumab initiation, continuation beyond 2 years was not associated with better OS than a fixed 2-year treatment, HR = 0.97 [0.75-1.26] p = 0.95. Interpretation This study supports the notion that stopping pembrolizumab after 2 years could be safe for patients with advanced NSCLC. However, because observational studies are prone to confounding and selection bias, causality cannot be affirmed. Funding This study did not receive any specific grant.

Abstract
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, a condition that disproportionately affects children with obesity. Appropriately dosing pantoprazole in children with obesity requires understanding the body size metric that best guides dosing, but pharmacokinetic (PK) trials using traditional techniques are limited by the need for larger sample sizes and frequent blood sampling. Physiologically-based PK (PBPK) models are an attractive alternative that can account for physiologic-, genetic-, and drug-specific changes without the need for extensive clinical trial data. In this study, we explored the effect of obesity on pantoprazole PK and evaluated label-suggested dosing in this population. An adult PBPK model for pantoprazole was developed using data from the literature and accounting for genetic variation in CYP2C19. The adult PBPK model was scaled to children without obesity using age-associated changes in anatomical and physiological parameters. Lastly, the pediatric PBPK model was expanded to children with obesity. Three pantoprazole dosing strategies were evaluated: 1 mg/kg total body weight, 1.2 mg/kg lean body weight, and US Food and Drug Administration-recommended weight-tiered dosing. Simulated concentration-time profiles from our model were compared with data from a prospective cohort study (PAN01; NCT02186652). Weight-tiered dosing resulted in the most (>90%) children with pantoprazole exposures in the reference range, regardless of obesity status or CYP2C19 phenotype, confirming results from previously published population PK models. PBPK models may allow for the efficient study of physiologic and developmental effects of obesity on PK in special populations where clinical trial data may be limited.

Maternal, prenatal and postnatal risk factors for early child physical abuse: a French nationwide cohort study. THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. EUROPE 2024; 42:100921. [PMID: 39070743 PMCID: PMC11281928 DOI: 10.1016/j.lanepe.2024.100921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Background Identifying risk factors for early child physical abuse (CPA) is crucial for understanding its mechanisms and defining effective preventive interventions. We aimed to identify maternal, prenatal and postnatal factors associated with early CPA. Methods This cohort study was based on comprehensive data from the Mother-Child EPI-MERES nationwide register and included all infants born alive in France between 2010 and 2019. Factors associated with early CPA (before age 1) were identified with a multilevel Cox regression model with random intercepts at the regional level. Findings Among the 6,897,384 included infants, 2994 (40/100,000) had a diagnosis of early CPA, at a median age of 4 months. Independent factors most strongly associated with early CPA were maternal low financial resources (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.91; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.67-2.18), maternal age <20 years versus 35-40 years (aHR 7.06; 95% CI 6.00-8.31), maternal alcohol use disorder (aHR 1.85; 95% CI 1.48-2.31), opioid use disorder (aHR 1.90; 95% CI 1.41-2.56), intimate partner violence (aHR 3.33; 95% CI 2.76-4.01), diagnosis of a chronic mental disorder (aHR 1.50; 95% CI 1.14-1.97) or somatic disorder (aHR 1.55; 95% CI 1.32-1.83), hospitalisation for a mental disorder (aHR 1.88; 95% CI 1.49-2.36), very preterm birth (aHR 2.15; 95% CI 1.68-2.75), and diagnosis of a chronic severe neurocognitive disorder in the infant (aHR 14.37; 95% CI 11.85-17.44). Interpretation Independent risk factors of early CPA identified at the national level in France may help in understanding CPA mechanisms and developing effective prevention programs including risk-stratification tools to optimise the allocation of parenting interventions to parents who could most benefit from them.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use on COVID-19 susceptibility and severity in children. STUDY DESIGN This retrospective, case-control study included all children ≤21 years undergoing COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction testing at a tertiary children's hospital between March 2020 and January 2023. The main exposure was PPI usage. The primary outcome was COVID-19 infection. The secondary outcome was COVID-19 hospitalization. Log-binomial regressions were used to examine associations between PPI use and these outcomes. RESULTS 116 209 patients age 8.5 ± 6.2 years underwent 234 867 COVID-19 tests. Current PPI use was associated with a decreased risk of COVID-19 test positivity compared with PPI nonuse [RR 0.85 (95% CI 0.76, 0.94), P = .002]; however, there was a significant interaction with time of testing, and an effect of PPIs was no longer seen in the final months of the study following lessening of COVID-19 precautions [RR 1.04 (95% CI 0.0.80, 1.36), P = .77]. PPI use was not associated with risk of hospitalization in patients positive for COVID-19 after adjusting for other hospitalization risk factors [RR 0.85 (95% CI 0.64, 1.13), P = .26]. CONCLUSIONS We did not find an association between PPI use and increased COVID-19 susceptibility or severity in this pediatric sample. These results provide reassuring evidence that PPIs may not worsen COVID-19 outcomes in children.

Abstract
Objective. Commonly recommended drugs for adults and children include proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), proven effective for treating peptic diseases like stomach ulcers, GERD, and Helicobacter pylori infections in children over 1-year-old. Yet, prolonged PPI use carries higher risks of adverse reactions, prompting this study's analysis. Methods. We have performed a systematic review of 30 articles, which include a total of 762 505 pediatric patients. Results. Adverse effects were encountered in 6.98% of the population. The 5 most common adverse effects were respiratory tract complications, gastrointestinal complications, urinary tract infections, asthma, and ENT infections. Conclusion. Hence, PPIs should be prescribed only when necessary, and physicians should prioritize patient education when considering their use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the risk of intracranial meningioma associated with the use of selected progestogens. DESIGN National case-control study. SETTING French National Health Data System (ie, Système National des Données de Santé). PARTICIPANTS Of 108 366 women overall, 18 061 women living in France who had intracranial surgery for meningioma between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2018 (restricted inclusion periods for intrauterine systems) were deemed to be in the case group. Each case was matched to five controls for year of birth and area of residence (90 305 controls). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Selected progestogens were used: progesterone, hydroxyprogesterone, dydrogesterone, medrogestone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, promegestone, dienogest, and intrauterine levonorgestrel. For each progestogen, use was defined by at least one dispensation within the year before the index date (within three years for 13.5 mg levonorgestrel intrauterine systems and five years for 52 mg). Conditional logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratio for each progestogen meningioma association. RESULTS Mean age was 57.6 years (standard deviation 12.8). Analyses showed excess risk of meningioma with use of medrogestone (42 exposed cases/18 061 cases (0.2%) v 79 exposed controls/90 305 controls (0.1%), odds ratio 3.49 (95% confidence interval 2.38 to 5.10)), medroxyprogesterone acetate (injectable, 9/18 061 (0.05%) v 11/90 305 (0.01%), 5.55 (2.27 to 13.56)), and promegestone (83/18 061 (0.5%) v 225/90 305 (0.2 %), 2.39 (1.85 to 3.09)). This excess risk was driven by prolonged use (≥one year). Results showed no excess risk of intracranial meningioma for progesterone, dydrogesterone, or levonorgestrel intrauterine systems. No conclusions could be drawn concerning dienogest or hydroxyprogesterone because of the small number of individuals who received these drugs. A highly increased risk of meningioma was observed for cyproterone acetate (891/18 061 (4.9%) v 256/90 305 (0.3%), odds ratio 19.21 (95% confidence interval 16.61 to 22.22)), nomegestrol acetate (925/18 061 (5.1%) v 1121/90 305 (1.2%), 4.93 (4.50 to 5.41)), and chlormadinone acetate (628/18 061 (3.5%) v 946/90 305 (1.0%), 3.87 (3.48 to 4.30)), which were used as positive controls for use. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged use of medrogestone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and promegestone was found to increase the risk of intracranial meningioma. The increased risk associated with the use of injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate, a widely used contraceptive, and the safety of levonorgestrel intrauterine systems are important new findings.

Clinical recommendations for the inpatient management of lower respiratory tract infections in children and adolescents with severe neurological impairment in Germany. Eur J Pediatr 2024; 183:987-999.

Abstract
Children and adolescents with severe neurological impairment (SNI) require specialized care due to their complex medical needs. In particular, these patients are often affected by severe and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). These infections, including viral and bacterial etiology, pose a significant risk to these patients, often resulting in respiratory insufficiency and long-term impairments. Using expert consensus, we developed clinical recommendations on the management of LRTIs in children and adolescents with SNI. These recommendations emphasize comprehensive multidisciplinary care and antibiotic stewardship. Initial treatment should involve symptomatic care, including hydration, antipyretics, oxygen therapy, and respiratory support. In bacterial LRTIs, antibiotic therapy is initiated based on the severity of the infection, with aminopenicillin plus a beta-lactamase inhibitor recommended for community-acquired LRTIs and piperacillin-tazobactam for patients with chronic lung disease or tracheostomy. Ongoing management includes regular evaluations, adjustments to antibiotic therapy based on pathogen identification, and optimization of supportive care. Implementation of these recommendations aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment of LRTIs in children and adolescents with SNI. What is Known: • Children and adolescents with severe neurological impairment are particularly affected by severe and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). • The indication and choice of antibiotic therapy for bacterial LRTI is often difficult because there are no evidence-based treatment recommendations for this heterogeneous but vulnerable patient population; the frequent overuse of broad-spectrum or reserve antibiotics in this patient population increases selection pressure for multidrug-resistant pathogens. What is New: • The proposed recommendations provide a crucial framework for focused diagnostics and treatment of LRTIs in children and adolescents with severe neurological impairment. • Along with recommendations for comprehensive and multidisciplinary therapy and antibiotic stewardship, ethical and palliative care aspects are taken into account.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) frequently affects women of childbearing age and pregnant women. OBJECTIVE To assess the use of MS disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) during pregnancy in France over the last decade, marked by an increasing DMTs availability. METHODS All pregnancies ended from April 2010 to December 2021 in women with MS were identified based on the nationwide Mother-Child Register EPI-MERES, built from the French National Health Data System (Système National des Données de Santé (SNDS)). RESULTS Of a total of 20,567 pregnancies in women with MS, 7587 were exposed to DMT. The number of DMT-exposed pregnancies markedly increased from 1079 in 2010-2012 to 2413 in 2019-2021 (+124%), especially those exposed to glatiramer acetate, natalizumab, dimethyl fumarate, and anti-CD20. Among pregnancies of women on DMT 6 months before pregnancy, 78.0% underwent DMT discontinuation and 7.6% switched DMT, generally before (33.0% and 77.0%, respectively) or during the first trimester of pregnancy (58.3% and 17.8%, respectively). DMT discontinuation decreased from 84.0% in 2010-2012 to 72.4% in 2019-2021 and was less frequent among women aged ⩾35 years and those socioeconomically disadvantaged. CONCLUSION Despite MS therapeutic management adaptations to pregnancy, exposure during pregnancy to treatments whose safety profile has not yet been clearly established has increased sharply over the last decade.

Abstract
The use of acid suppression therapy (AST) is a common approach for managing a wide spectrum of acid peptic disorders. Histamine type 2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most widely prescribed AST in routine clinical practice. However, an exponential surge in the prescriptions of PPIs, such as Omeprazole, Esomeprazole, Pantoprazole, Lansoprazole in recent years and their associated adverse effects have raised concern about their inappropriate and overuse, both in children and adults. To address these issues, a three-step modified Delphi polling process was employed to establish best practice consensus statements for rationalizing the use of acid suppressants. A multidisciplinary expert panel of 13 health professionals across medical specialties, including gastroenterologists, hepatologists, pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatricians, otolaryngologists, cardiologists, nephrologists, gynecologist and orthopedists actively contributed to this collaborative process of consensus development. The expert panel proposed 21 consensus statements providing best practice points on the general use and safety of acid suppressants based on a comprehensive review of scientific literature and clinical expertise. The panel also collaboratively developed a PPI deprescribing algorithm. Altogether, this consensus paper offers evidence-based recommendations and guidance for the rational use of acid suppressants with a blueprint for deprescribing PPIs. This consensus paper contributes to aiding primary care practitioners in improving patient outcomes and minimizing healthcare costs. Additionally, it enhances patient safety and curtail inappropriate usage. How to cite this article Prabhoo RY, Pai UA, Wadhwa A, et al.

Abstract
For many years, it has been hypothesized that pathological changes to the gut microbiome in critical illness is a driver of infections, organ dysfunction, and other adverse outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU). The advent of contemporary microbiome methodologies and multi-omics tools have allowed researchers to test this hypothesis by dissecting host-microbe interactions in the gut to better define its contribution to critical illness pathogenesis. Observational studies of patients in ICUs have revealed that gut microbial communities are profoundly altered in critical illness, characterized by markedly reduced alpha diversity, loss of commensal taxa, and expansion of potential pathogens. These key features of ICU gut dysbiosis have been associated with adverse outcomes including life-threatening hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections. Current research strives to define cellular and molecular mechanisms connecting gut dysbiosis with infections and other outcomes, and to identify opportunities for therapeutic modulation of host-microbe interactions. This review synthesizes evidence from studies of critically ill patients that have informed our understanding of intestinal dysbiosis in the ICU, mechanisms linking dysbiosis to infections and other adverse outcomes, as well as clinical trials of microbiota-modifying therapies. Additionally, we discuss novel avenues for precision microbial therapeutics to combat nosocomial infections and other life-threatening complications of critical illness.
