Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is common, but its impact on clinical outcomes is variable. Parsing AKI into sub-phenotype(s) and integrating pathologic positive cumulative fluid balance (CFB) may better inform prognosis. We sought to determine whether durational sub-phenotyping of CS-AKI with CFB strengthens association with outcomes among neonates undergoing the Norwood procedure. METHODS Multicenter, retrospective cohort study from the Neonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network. Transient CS-AKI: present only on post-operative day (POD) 1 and/or 2; persistent CS-AKI: continued after POD 2. CFB was evaluated per day and peak CFB during the first 7 postoperative days. Primary and secondary outcomes were mortality, respiratory support-free and hospital-free days (at 28, 60 days, respectively). The primary predictor was persistent CS-AKI, defined by modified neonatal Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. RESULTS CS-AKI occurred in 59% (205/347) neonates: 36.6% (127/347) transient and 22.5% (78/347) persistent; CFB > 10% occurred in 18.7% (65/347). Patients with either persistent CS-AKI or peak CFB > 10% had higher mortality. Combined persistent CS-AKI with peak CFB > 10% (n = 21) associated with increased mortality (aOR: 7.8, 95% CI: 1.4, 45.5; p = 0.02), decreased respiratory support-free (predicted mean 12 vs. 19; p < 0.001) and hospital-free days (17 vs. 29; p = 0.048) compared to those with neither. CONCLUSIONS The combination of persistent CS-AKI and peak CFB > 10% after the Norwood procedure is associated with mortality and hospital resource utilization. Prospective studies targeting intra- and postoperative CS-AKI risk factors and reducing CFB have the potential to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Contemporary multicenter data regarding midterm outcomes for neonates with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum are lacking. We sought to describe outcomes in a contemporary multicenter cohort, determine factors associated with end-states, and evaluate the effect of right ventricular coronary dependency and coronary atresia on transplant-free survival. Neonates treated during 2009-2019 in 19 United States centers were reviewed. Competing risks analysis was performed to determine cumulative risk of each end-state, and multivariable regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with each end-state and transplant-free survival. We reviewed 295 patients. Median tricuspid valve Z-score was - 3.06 (25%, 75%: - 4.00, - 1.52). Final end-state was biventricular repair for 45 patients (15.2%), one-and-a half ventricle for 16 (5.4%), Fontan for 75 (25.4%), cardiac transplantation for 29 (9.8%), and death for 54 (18.3%). Seventy-six patients (25.7%) remained in mixed circulation. Cumulative risk estimate of death was 10.9%, 16.1%, 16.9%, and 18.8% at 1, 6 months, 1 year, and 5 years, respectively. Tricuspid valve Z-score was inversely, and coronary atresia positively associated with death or transplantation [odds ratio (OR) = 0.46, (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.29-0.75, p < 0.001) and OR = 3.75 (95% CI 1.46-9.61, p = 0.011), respectively]. Right ventricular coronary dependency and left coronary atresia had a significant effect on transplant-free survival (log-rank p < 0.001). In a contemporary multicenter cohort of patients with PAIVS, consisting predominantly of patients with moderate-to-severe right ventricular hypoplasia, we observed favorable survival outcomes. Right ventricular coronary dependency and left, but not right, coronary atresia significantly worsens transplant-free survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Morbidity and mortality after the Norwood procedure remains high. Shunt size selection is not standardized and the impact of shunt size on outcomes is poorly understood. The Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial randomized infants to modified Blalock-Taussig-Thomas shunt (MBTTS) or right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt at the Norwood procedure. We assessed shunt size distribution and its association with postoperative outcomes. METHODS We included 544 patients, excluding 5 with ambiguous shunt crossover data. Normalized shunt diameter 1 and 2 were calculated as shunt diameter divided by patient's weight and body surface area, respectively. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality after Norwood. Secondary outcomes were intensive care and total length of stay, and survival to Glenn procedure. Logistic and ordinal regression models evaluated the association of normalized shunt diameter with outcomes. RESULTS Thirty-day mortality after Norwood was 11.4% (n = 62), survival to Glenn procedure was 72.6% (n = 395), median length of stay was 14.0 (interquartile range, 9.0-27.7) days and 24.0 (interquartile range, 16.0-41.0) days in the intensive care and total, respectively. Normalized shunt diameters exhibited variation in both shunt types but were not associated with 30-day mortality. Right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt size was not associated with secondary outcomes. However, a MBTTS diameter ≥1.5 mm/kg predicted longer Norwood (odds ratio, 4.89; 95% CI, 1.41-16.90) and intensive care (odds ratio, 4.11; 95% CI, 1.25-13.49]) duration. CONCLUSIONS Shunt size selection was variable. Right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery shunt had a wider size range seen with favorable outcomes compared with MBTTS. A MBTTS either too large or too small is associated with worse postoperative outcomes. Refining shunt sizing practices can improve surgical outcomes after the Norwood procedure.

Abstract
PURPOSE Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is used for supportive management of acute kidney injury (AKI) and disorders of fluid balance (FB). Little is known about the predictors of successful liberation in children and young adults. We aimed to identify the factors associated with successful CRRT liberation. METHODS The Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Disease study is an international multicenter retrospective study (32 centers, 7 nations) conducted from 2015 to 2021 in children and young adults (aged 0-25 years) treated with CRRT for AKI or FB disorders. Patients with previous dialysis dependence, tandem extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use, died within the first 72 h of CRRT initiation, and those who never had liberation attempted were excluded. Patients were categorized based on first liberation attempt: reinstituted (resumption of any dialysis within 72 h) vs. success (no receipt of dialysis for ≥ 72 h). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with successful CRRT liberation. RESULTS A total of 622 patients were included: 287 (46%) had CRRT reinstituted and 335 (54%) were successfully liberated. After adjusting for sepsis at admission and illness severity parameters, several factors were associated with successful liberation, including higher VIS (vasoactive-inotropic score) at CRRT initiation (odds ratio [OR] 1.35 [1.12-1.63]), higher PELOD-2 (pediatric logistic organ dysfunction-2) score at CRRT initiation (OR 1.71 [1.24-2.35]), higher urine output prior to CRRT initiation (OR 1.15 [1.001-1.32]), and shorter CRRT duration (OR 0.19 [0.12-0.28]). CONCLUSIONS Inability to liberate from CRRT was common in this multinational retrospective study. Modifiable and non-modifiable factors were associated with successful liberation. These results may inform the design of future clinical trials to optimize likelihood of CRRT liberation success.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between postoperative cumulative fluid balance (FB) and development of chylothorax in neonates after cardiac surgery. DESIGN Multicenter, retrospective cohort identified within the Neonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network (NEPHRON) Registry. SETTING Twenty-two hospitals were involved with NEPHRON, from September 2015 to January 2018. PATIENTS Neonates (< 30 d old) undergoing index cardiac operation with or without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) entered into the NEPHRON Registry. Postoperative chylothorax was defined in the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium as lymphatic fluid in the pleural space secondary to a leak from the thoracic duct or its branches. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of the 2240 NEPHRON patients, 4% ( n = 89) were treated for chylothorax during postoperative day (POD) 2-21. Median (interquartile range [IQR]) time to diagnosis was 8 (IQR 6, 12) days. Of patients treated for chylothorax, 81 of 89 (91%) had CPB and 68 of 89 (76%) had Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery Congenital Heart Surgery 4-5 operations. On bivariate analysis, chylothorax patients had higher POD 1 FB (3.2 vs. 1.1%, p = 0.014), higher cumulative POD 2 FB (1.5 vs. -1.5%, p < 0.001), achieved negative daily FB by POD 1 less often (69% vs. 79%, p = 0.039), and had lower POD 1 urine output (1.9 vs. 3. 2 mL/kg/day, p ≤ 0.001) than those without chylothorax. We failed to identify an association between presence or absence of chylothorax and peak FB (5.2 vs. 4.9%, p = 0.9). Multivariable analysis shows that higher cumulative FB on POD 2 was associated with greater odds (odds ratio [OR], 95% CI) of chylothorax development (OR 1.5 [95% CI, 1.1-2.2]). Further multivariable analysis shows that chylothorax was independently associated with greater odds of longer durations of mechanical ventilation (OR 5.5 [95% CI, 3.7-8.0]), respiratory support (OR 4.3 [95% CI, 2.9-6.2]), use of inotropic support (OR 2.9 [95% CI, 2.0-4.3]), and longer hospital length of stay (OR 3.7 [95% CI, 2.5-5.4]). CONCLUSIONS Chylothorax after neonatal cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) is independently associated with greater odds of longer duration of cardiorespiratory support and hospitalization. Higher early (POD 2) cumulative FB is associated with greater odds of chylothorax. Contemporary, prospective studies are needed to assess whether early fluid mitigation strategies decrease postoperative chylothorax development.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE There are limited studies describing the epidemiology and outcomes in children and young adults receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). We aimed to describe associations between patient characteristics, CKRT prescription, and survival. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 980 patients aged from birth to 25 years who received CKRT between 2015 and 2021 at 1 of 32 centers in 7 countries participating in WE-ROCK (Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Diseases). EXPOSURE CKRT for acute kidney injury or volume overload. OUTCOMES Death before intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Descriptive statistics. RESULTS Median age was 8.8 years (IQR, 1.6-15.0), and median weight was 26.8 (IQR, 11.6-55.0) kg. CKRT was initiated a median of 2 (IQR, 1-6) days after ICU admission and lasted a median of 6 (IQR, 3-14) days. The most common CKRT modality was continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration. Citrate anticoagulation was used in 62%, and the internal jugular vein was the most common catheter placement location (66%). 629 participants (64.1%) survived at least until ICU discharge. CKRT dose, filter type, and anticoagulation were similar in those who did and did not survive to ICU discharge. There were apparent practice variations by institutional ICU size. LIMITATIONS Retrospective design; limited representation from centers outside the United States. CONCLUSIONS In this study of children and young adults receiving CKRT, approximately two thirds survived at least until ICU discharge. Although variations in dialysis mode and dose, catheter size and location, and anticoagulation were observed, survival was not detected to be associated with these parameters. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY In this large contemporary epidemiological study of children and young adults receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy in the intensive care unit, we observed that two thirds of patients survived at least until ICU discharge. However, patients with comorbidities appeared to have worse outcomes. Compared with previously published reports on continuous kidney replacement therapy practice, we observed greater use of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration with regional citrate anticoagulation.

Abstract
Importance Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is increasingly used in youths with critical illness, but little is known about longer-term outcomes, such as persistent kidney dysfunction, continued need for dialysis, or death. Objective To characterize the incidence and risk factors, including liberation patterns, associated with major adverse kidney events 90 days after CKRT initiation (MAKE-90) in children, adolescents, and young adults. Design, Setting, and Participants This international, multicenter cohort study was conducted among patients aged 0 to 25 years from The Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Disease (WE-ROCK) registry treated with CKRT for acute kidney injury or fluid overload from 2015 to 2021. Exclusion criteria were dialysis dependence, concurrent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use, or receipt of CKRT for a different indication. Data were analyzed from May 2 to December 14, 2023. Exposure Patient clinical characteristics and CKRT parameters were assessed. CKRT liberation was classified as successful, reinstituted, or not attempted. Successful liberation was defined as the first attempt at CKRT liberation resulting in 72 hours or more without return to dialysis within 28 days of CKRT initiation. Main Outcomes and Measures MAKE-90, including death or persistent kidney dysfunction (dialysis dependence or ≥25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline), were assessed. Results Among 969 patients treated with CKRT (529 males [54.6%]; median [IQR] age, 8.8 [1.7-15.0] years), 630 patients (65.0%) developed MAKE-90. On multivariable analysis, cardiac comorbidity (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.60; 95% CI, 1.08-2.37), longer duration of intensive care unit admission before CKRT initiation (aOR for 6 days vs 1 day, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.02-1.13), and liberation pattern were associated with MAKE-90. In this analysis, patients who successfully liberated from CKRT within 28 days had lower odds of MAKE-90 compared with patients in whom liberation was attempted and failed (aOR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.22-0.48) and patients without a liberation attempt (aOR, 0.02; 95% CI, 0.01-0.04). Conclusions and Relevance In this study, MAKE-90 occurred in almost two-thirds of the population and patient-level risk factors associated with MAKE-90 included cardiac comorbidity, time to CKRT initiation, and liberation patterns. These findings highlight the high incidence of adverse outcomes in this population and suggest that future prospective studies are needed to better understand liberation patterns and practices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the variables associated with incomplete and unscheduled cardiology clinic visits among referred children with a focus on equity gaps. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a retrospective chart review for patients less than 18 years of age who were referred to cardiology clinics at a single quaternary referral centre from 2017 to 2019. We collected patient demographic data including race, an index of neighbourhood socio-economic deprivation linked to a patient's geocoded address, referral information, and cardiology clinic information. The primary outcome was an incomplete clinic visit. The secondary outcome was an unscheduled appointment. Independent associations were identified using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS There were 10,610 new referrals; 6954 (66%) completed new cardiology clinic visits. Black race (OR 1.41; 95% CI 1.22-1.63), public insurance (OR 1.29; 95% CI 1.14-1.46), and a higher deprivation index (OR 1.32; 95% CI 1.08-1.61) were associated with higher odds of incomplete visit compared to the respective reference groups of White race, private insurance, and a lower deprivation index. The findings for unscheduled visit were similar. A shorter time elapsed from the initial referral to when the appointment was made was associated with lower odds of incomplete visit (OR 0.62; 95% CI 0.52-0.74). CONCLUSION Race, insurance type, neighbourhood deprivation, and time from referral date to appointment made were each associated with incomplete referrals to paediatric cardiology. Interventions directed to understand such associations and respond accordingly could help to equitably improve referral completion.

Abstract
Importance In clinical trials, the early or accelerated continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) initiation strategy among adults with acute kidney injury or volume overload has not demonstrated a survival benefit. Whether the timing of initiation of CRRT is associated with outcomes among children and young adults is unknown. Objective To determine whether timing of CRRT initiation, with and without consideration of volume overload (VO; <10% vs ≥10%), is associated with major adverse kidney events at 90 days (MAKE-90). Design, Setting, and Participants This multinational retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcome Collaborative in Kidney Disease (WE-ROCK) registry from 2015 to 2021. Participants included children and young adults (birth to 25 years) receiving CRRT for acute kidney injury or VO at 32 centers across 7 countries. Statistical analysis was performed from February to July 2023. Exposure The primary exposure was time to CRRT initiation from intensive care unit admission. Main Outcomes and measures The primary outcome was MAKE-90 (death, dialysis dependence, or persistent kidney dysfunction [>25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline]). Results Data from 996 patients were entered into the registry. After exclusions (n = 27), 969 patients (440 [45.4%] female; 16 (1.9%) American Indian or Alaska Native, 40 (4.7%) Asian or Pacific Islander, 127 (14.9%) Black, 652 (76.4%) White, 18 (2.1%) more than 1 race; median [IQR] patient age, 8.8 [1.7-15.0] years) with data for the primary outcome (MAKE-90) were included. Median (IQR) time to CRRT initiation was 2 (1-6) days. MAKE-90 occurred in 630 patients (65.0%), of which 368 (58.4%) died. Among the 601 patients who survived, 262 (43.6%) had persistent kidney dysfunction. Of patients with persistent dysfunction, 91 (34.7%) were dependent on dialysis. Time to CRRT initiation was approximately 1 day longer among those with MAKE-90 (median [IQR], 3 [1-8] days vs 2 [1-4] days; P = .002). In the generalized propensity score-weighted regression, there were approximately 3% higher odds of MAKE-90 for each 1-day delay in CRRT initiation (odds ratio, 1.03 [95% CI, 1.02-1.04]). Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study of children and young adults receiving CRRT, longer time to CRRT initiation was associated with greater risk of MAKE-90 outcomes, in particular, mortality. These findings suggest that prospective multicenter studies are needed to further delineate the appropriate time to initiate CRRT and the interaction between CRRT initiation timing and VO to continue to improve survival and reduce morbidity in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the acceptability and safety of educational videos utilising visual storytelling to provide information about the cardiac ICU and post-operative care to parents. Videos were designed to educate, further encourage parents to engage in their child's cardiac care, and address common sources of distress. STUDY DESIGN Two educational videos and survey were sent to 29 families of children previously admitted to the cardiac ICU (April 2020-March 2021). Views regarding information quality, quantity, format, and relevance were assessed, as were parents' emotional responses. Quantitative thresholds for safety and acceptability were set a priori. An inductive approach to content analysis was applied to identify themes in qualitative data. RESULTS Sixteen parents participated (response rate: 55%). All acceptability and safety thresholds were met; 92% of parents rated the videos as helpful and 85% were "very" or "extremely likely" to recommend them to other families of children with CHD. No participants reported significant distress after viewing the videos. Expressions of parental engagement with their child's care team were common (92%). In qualitative responses, parents perceived the videos as potentially helpful in reducing distress if viewed prior to cardiac ICU admission. CONCLUSION Visual storytelling to orient parents to the cardiac ICU and address common stressors was found to be safe and acceptable when tested with parents of children previously admitted to the cardiac ICU. Further prospective studies are needed to test intervention effects when videos are viewed before or during cardiac ICU admission, especially for mitigating anxiety and traumatic stress associated with admission.

Abstract
Missing data are a pervasive issue in observational studies using electronic health records or patient registries. It presents unique challenges for statistical inference, especially causal inference. Inappropriately handling missing data in causal inference could potentially bias causal estimation. Besides missing data problems, observational health data structures typically have mixed-type variables - continuous and categorical covariates - whose joint distribution is often too complex to be modeled by simple parametric models. The existence of missing values in covariates and outcomes makes the causal inference even more challenging, while most standard causal inference approaches assume fully observed data or start their works after imputing missing values in a separate preprocessing stage. To address these problems, we introduce a Bayesian nonparametric causal model to estimate causal effects with missing data. The proposed approach can simultaneously impute missing values, account for multiple outcomes, and estimate causal effects under the potential outcomes framework. We provide three simulation studies to show the performance of our proposed method under complicated data settings whose features are similar to our case studies. For example, Simulation Study 3 assumes the case where missing values exist in both outcomes and covariates. Two case studies were conducted applying our method to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of treatments for chronic disease management in juvenile idiopathic arthritis and cystic fibrosis.

Abstract
Cardiac dysfunction is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Left atrial (LA) function is a poorly understood concept in this patient population, and research suggests underlying structural changes that could affect atrial function. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging may provide an important non-invasive approach to evaluating LA function. This study was a single center retrospective review of consecutive CMR studies over a 1 year period comparing LA phasic function within a cohort of DMD patients, and to those with structurally and functionally normal hearts. LA strain measurements including global reservoir, conduit, boost-pump strain, and LA volumes were obtained retrospectively. Spearman correlation analyses were performed on atrial strain measurements. 107 DMD and 79 normal CMR studies were included. The DMD cohort had worse systolic function (p < 0.001), smaller indexed max LA and left ventricular (LV) volumes (p < 0.001), and greater LA emptying fraction (p < 0.001). In the DMD cohort, emptying fraction decreased with advanced patient age (p < 0.001) and diminishing systolic function (p < 0.001). DMD patients with moderate or severe LV dysfunction demonstrated lower LA emptying fraction (p = 0.002), more impaired 2-chamber LA reservoir (p = 0.003), and LA pump (p = 0.006) and conduit strain (p = 0.018). DMD patients with preserved function have lower indexed LA volumes with higher LA emptying fractions than controls. Progression of disease and age is associated with decreased LA emptying fraction with early manifestations in reservoir and conduit strain. These findings suggest that strain markers of LA compliance and early left ventricular relaxation are associated with worsening cardiomyopathy in the DMD population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluate the association of postoperative day (POD) 2 weight-based fluid balance (FB-W) > 10% with outcomes after neonatal cardiac surgery. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of 22 hospitals in the NEonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network (NEPHRON) registry from September 2015 to January 2018. Of 2240 eligible patients, 997 neonates (cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) n = 658, non-CPB n = 339) were weighed on POD2 and included. RESULTS Forty-five percent (n = 444) of patients had FB-W > 10%. Patients with POD2 FB-W > 10% had higher acuity of illness and worse outcomes. Hospital mortality was 2.8% (n = 28) and not independently associated with POD2 FB-W > 10% (OR 1.04; 95% CI 0.29-3.68). POD2 FB-W > 10% was associated with all utilization outcomes, including duration of mechanical ventilation (multiplicative rate of 1.19; 95% CI 1.04-1.36), respiratory support (1.28; 95% CI 1.07-1.54), inotropic support (1.38; 95% CI 1.10-1.73), and postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS 1.15; 95% CI 1.03-1.27). In secondary analyses, POD2 FB-W as a continuous variable demonstrated association with prolonged durations of mechanical ventilation (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.02-1.06], respiratory support (1.03; 95% CI 1.01-1.05), inotropic support (1.03; 95% CI 1.00-1.05), and postoperative hospital LOS (1.02; 95% CI 1.00-1.04). POD2 intake-output based fluid balance (FB-IO) was not associated with any outcome. CONCLUSIONS POD2 weight-based fluid balance > 10% occurs frequently after neonatal cardiac surgery and is associated with longer cardiorespiratory support and postoperative hospital LOS. However, POD2 FB-IO was not associated with clinical outcomes. Mitigating early postoperative fluid accumulation may improve outcomes but requires safely weighing neonates in the early postoperative period. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival outcomes of children on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at time of lung transplant (LTx) remain unclear. METHODS Pediatric first-time LTx recipients transplanted between January 2000 and December 2020 were identified in the United Network for Organ Sharing Registry to compare post-transplant survival according to ECMO support at time of transplant. For a comprehensive analysis of the data, univariate analysis, multivariable Cox regression, and propensity score matching were performed. RESULTS During the study period, 954 children under 18 years of age underwent LTx with 40 patients on ECMO. We did not identify a post-LTx survival difference between patients receiving ECMO when compared to those that did not. A multivariable Cox regression model (Hazard ratio = 0.83; 95% confidence interval: 0.47, 1.45; p = .51) did not demonstrate an increased risk for death post-LTx. Lastly, a propensity score matching analysis, retaining 33 ECMO and 33 non-ECMO patients, further confirmed no post-LTx survival difference comparing ECMO to no ECMO cohorts (Hazard ratio = 0.98; 95% confidence interval: 0.48, 2.00; p = .96). CONCLUSIONS In this contemporary cohort of children, the use of ECMO at the time of LTx did not negatively impact post-transplant survival.

Abstract
Introduction Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is used for the symptomatic management of acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO). Contemporary reports on pediatric CRRT are small and single center in design. Large international studies evaluating CRRT practice and outcomes are lacking. Herein, we describe the design of a multinational collaborative. Methods The Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Disease (WE-ROCK) is an international collaborative of pediatric specialists whose mission is to improve short- and long-term outcomes of children treated with CRRT. The aims of this multicenter retrospective study are to describe the epidemiology, liberation patterns, association of fluid balance and timing of CRRT initiation, and CRRT prescription with outcomes. Results We included children (n = 996, 0-25 years) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) and treated with CRRT for AKI or FO at 32 centers (in 7 countries) from 2018 to 2021. Demographics and clinical characteristics before CRRT initiation, during the first 7 days of both CRRT, and liberation were collected. Outcomes include the following: (i) major adverse kidney events at 90 days (mortality, dialysis dependence, and persistent kidney dysfunction), and (ii) functional outcomes (functional stats scale). Conclusion The retrospective WE-ROCK study represents the largest international registry of children receiving CRRT for AKI or FO. It will serve as a broad and invaluable resource for the field of pediatric critical care nephrology that will improve our understanding of practice heterogeneity and the association of CRRT with clinical and patient-centered outcomes. This will generate preliminary data for future interventional trials in this area.

Abstract
Background Outcomes after lung transplant (LTx) in children have slowly improved. Although atrial arrhythmia (AA) is a common and adverse complication following LTx among adults, there is limited data on pediatric recipients. We detail our pediatric single-center experience while providing further insights on occurrence and management of AA following LTx. Methods A retrospective analysis of LTx recipients at a pediatric LTx program from 2014 to 2022 was performed. We investigated timing of occurrence and management of AA following LTx, and its effect on post-LTx outcome. Results Three out of nineteen (15%) pediatric LTx recipients developed AA. The timing of occurrence was 9-10 days following LTx. Those patients in the older age group (age >12 years old) were the only ones who developed AA. Developing AA did not have a negative effect on hospital stay duration or short-term mortality. All LTx recipients with AA were discharged home on therapy that was discontinued at 6 months for those who was on mono-therapy without recurrence of AA. Conclusions AA is an early post-operative complication in older children and younger adults undergoing LTx at a pediatric center. Early recognition and aggressive management can mitigate any morbidity or mortality. Future investigations should explore factors that place this population at risk for AA in order to prevent this complication post-operatively.

Abstract
Background Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common arrhythmia. Infants with SVT are often admitted to initiate antiarrhythmics. Transesophageal pacing (TEP) studies can be used to guide therapy prior to discharge. Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of TEP studies on length of stay (LOS), readmission, and cost in infants with SVT. Methods This was a 2-site retrospective review of infants with SVT. One site (Center TEPS) utilized TEP studies in all patients. The other (Center NOTEP) did not. Patients with structural heart disease, patients with gestational age <34 weeks, and patients diagnosed after 6 months were excluded. At Center TEPS, repeat TEP studies were performed after titration of medication until SVT was not inducible. Primary endpoints were LOS and readmission for breakthrough SVT within 31 days of discharge. Hospital reimbursement data were utilized for cost-effectiveness analysis. Results The cohort included 131 patients, 59 in Center TEPS and 72 in Center NOTEP. One patient was readmitted in Center TEPS vs 17 in Center NOTEP (1.6% vs 23.6%; P ≤ .001). Median LOS was longer for Center TEPS at 118.0 (interquartile range [IQR] 74.0-189.5) hours vs Center NOTEP at 66.9 (IQR 45.5-118.3) hours (P = .001). Twenty-one patients had multiple TEP studies. Median length of readmission for Center NOTEP was 65 (IQR 41-101) hours. Including readmission costs, utilization of TEP studies resulted in a probability-weighted cost of $45,531 per patient compared with $31,087 per patient without TEP studies. Conclusion Utilization of TEP studies was associated with decreased readmission rates but longer LOS and greater cost compared with SVT management without TEP studies.

Abstract
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) incorporates a field of view that has the potential to capture clinically relevant extracardiac findings (ECF); however, there has been minimal investigation of ECF prevalence in children's hospitals, where the patient population varies in age and diagnosis. We retrospectively reviewed consecutive, clinically indicated, CMR studies performed at a tertiary care children's hospital during a 1-year period from January 1 to December 31, 2019. ECFs were classified as significant or non-significant based on whether they were described in the final impression of the CMR report. A total of 851 distinct patients had a CMR study during the 1-year period. Mean age was 19.5 (range 0.2; 74.2) years. A total of 254 ECFs were present in 158 of the 851 studies (18.6%) with 9.8% of all studies having significant ECFs. A total of 40.2% of ECFs were previously unknown and 9.1% (23/254) of ECFs included further recommendations (2.1% of all studies). ECFs were most often found in the chest (48%) or abdomen/pelvis (46%). Three patients were incidentally found to have malignancy (renal cell, thyroid, and hepatocellular carcinoma). Comparing studies with significant ECFs to the group without, CMR indications for biventricular CHD (43% vs 31%, p = 0.036), single ventricle CHD (12% vs 3.9%, p = 0.002), and aortopathy/vasculopathy (16% vs 7.6%, p = 0.020) were more common. The odds of significant ECF increased with increasing age (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.10-3.01) and increased most notably between ages 14 to 33 years old. Recognition of the high percentage of ECFs remains important for timely diagnosis of these incidental findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload associates with poor outcomes after neonatal cardiac surgery, but consensus does not exist for the most clinically relevant method of measuring fluid balance (FB). While weight change-based FB (FB-W) is standard in neonatal intensive care units, weighing infants after cardiac surgery may be challenging. We aimed to identify characteristics associated with obtaining weights and to understand how intake/output-based FB (FB-IO) and FB-W compare in the early postoperative period in this population. METHODS Observational retrospective study of 2235 neonates undergoing cardiac surgery from 22 hospitals comprising the NEonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network (NEPHRON) database. RESULTS Forty-five percent (n = 998) of patients were weighed on postoperative day (POD) 2, varying from 2 to 98% among centers. Odds of being weighed were lower for STAT categories 4 and 5 (OR 0.72; 95% CI 0.53-0.98), cardiopulmonary bypass (0.59; 0.42-0.83), delayed sternal closure (0.27; 0.19-0.38), prophylactic peritoneal dialysis use (0.58; 0.34-0.99), and mechanical ventilation on POD 2 (0.23; 0.16-0.33). Correlation between FB-IO and FB-W was weak for every POD 1-6 and within the entire cohort (correlation coefficient 0.15; 95% CI 0.12-0.17). FB-W measured higher than paired FB-IO (mean bias 12.5%; 95% CI 11.6-13.4%) with wide 95% limits of agreement (- 15.4-40.4%). CONCLUSIONS Weighing neonates early after cardiac surgery is uncommon, with significant practice variation among centers. Patients with increased severity of illness are less likely to be weighed. FB-W and FB-IO have weak correlation, and further study is needed to determine which cumulative FB metric most associates with adverse outcomes. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess discharge readiness and clinical engagement post-discharge in familes of children undergoing congenital heart surgery (CHS). STUDY DESIGN This prospective cross-sectional study was performed at a major tertiary pediatric cardiac referral center. Eligible parents and caregivers completed a discharge readiness tool, the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale for Parents of Hospitalized Children (PedRHDS), via online survey on the day of discharge. Clinical engagement data included subsequent phone calls, clinic visits, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospital readmissions. PedRHDS scores were measured as follows: Very High (9-10), High (8-8.9), Moderate (7-7.9), and Low (<7). Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographic data. RESULTS 128 families enrolled between April and December 2021. Parent discharge readiness scores ranged from 'High' to 'Very High.' Families with lower socioeconomic status and younger patients (especially single ventricle infants or "interstage") had a higher proportion of clinic visits, ED visits, and hospital readmissions within 30-days post-discharge compared with other groups. CONCLUSIONS Discharge readiness scores were not associated with clinical engagement. We identified vulnerable populations as evidenced by a higher frequency of clinical engagement in the immediate post-operative period, particularly younger patients and first time surgeries. While these visits may be appropriate, novel programs could enhance education and emotional support to prevent delay in seeking care or creating excessive stress and anxiety after discharge.

Abstract
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common arrhythmia in infants. Once diagnosed, infants are admitted for antiarrhythmic therapy and discharged after observation. There are limited data on risk factors for readmission and readmission rates, while on medication. The objective of this study was to investigate risk factors for readmission and outcomes in infants diagnosed with SVT. This is a single-center retrospective study over a 10-year period of infants under 6 months of age with documented SVT. Infants with congenital heart disease requiring surgical or catheter intervention, gestational age less than 32 weeks or diagnosis of atrial flutter or fibrillation were excluded. The primary outcome was readmission within 31 days of hospital discharge. Long term need for ablation and eventual discontinuation of medications were assessed. Ninety patients were included. Beta blockers were the initial therapy in 66 and 28 required a medication change. Nineteen were readmitted within 31 days of discharge. The only clinical factor associated with early readmission was presence of ventricular pre-excitation (6/19 vs. 8/71, p = 0.03). Patients who were readmitted within 31 days had a longer length of treatment (12 [11.5, 22.0] vs. 10 [7.5, 12.0] months, p = 0.007) and were more likely to undergo ablation (4/19 vs. 2/71, p = 0.017). In this cohort of infants with SVT, readmission was common and ventricular pre-excitation was identified as a risk factor for readmission. Infants who were readmitted within 31 days of discharge had longer length of antiarrhythmic therapy and were more likely to undergo catheter ablation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multicenter contemporary data describing short-term outcomes following initial interventions of neonates with pulmonary atresia intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) are limited. This multicenter study aims to describe characteristics and outcomes of PA-IVS neonates following their initial catheter or surgical intervention and identify factors associated with major adverse cardiac events (MACE). METHODS Neonates with PA-IVS who underwent surgical or catheter intervention between 2009-2019 in 19 centers were reviewed. Risk factors for MACE, defined as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical circulatory support, stroke, or in-hospital mortality, were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression model. RESULTS We reviewed 279 neonates: 79 (28%) underwent right ventricular decompression, 151 (54%) underwent systemic-to-pulmonary shunt or ductal stent placement only, 36 (13%) underwent right ventricular decompression with shunt or ductal stent placement, and 11 (4%) underwent transplantation. MACE occurred in 57 patients (20%): 26 (9%) received mechanical circulatory support, 37 (13%) received cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 16 (6%) suffered stroke, 23 (8%) died. The presence of two major coronary artery stenoses (adjusted OR: 4.99; 95% CI: 1.16-21.39) and lower weight at first intervention (adjusted OR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.01-2.27) were significantly associated with MACE. Coronary ischemia was the most frequent presumed mechanism of death (n=10). CONCLUSIONS In a multicenter cohort, one in five neonates with PA-IVS experienced MACE following their initial intervention. Patients with two major coronary artery stenoses or lower weight at time of initial procedure were most likely to experience MACE and warrant vigilance during pre-intervention planning and post-intervention management.

Abstract
We evaluate the validity of cardiac index (CI) measurements utilizing the Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor (USCOM), a non-invasive Doppler ultrasound device, by comparing measurements to cardiac catheterization-derived CI measurements in patients with single-ventricle physiology. USCOM measurements were repeated three times for each patient at the beginning of a cardiac catheterization procedure for twenty-six patients undergoing elective pre-Glenn or pre-Fontan catheterization. CI was measured by USCOM and was calculated from cardiac catheterization data using Fick's method. Bland-Altman analysis for CI showed bias of 0.95 L/min/m2 with the 95% limits of agreement of - 1.85 and 3.75. Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.89 (p < 0.001) indicating a strong positive relationship between USCOM and cardiac catheterization CI measurements. When excluding two patients with significant dilation of the neo-aortic valve (z-score > + 5), the bias improved to 0.66 L/min/m2 with the 95% limits of agreement of - 1.38 and 2.70. Percent error of limits of agreement was 34%. There was excellent intra-operator reproducibility of USCOM CI measurements with an intra-class coefficient of 0.96. We demonstrate the use of USCOM to measure CI in patients with single-ventricle physiology for the first time, showing acceptable agreement of the CI measurements between USCOM and cardiac catheterization with a high intra-operator reproducibility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the ability to accurately diagnose acute rheumatic fever (ARF) given the resources available at three levels of the Ugandan healthcare system. METHODS Using data obtained from a large epidemiological database on ARF conducted in three districts of Uganda, we selected variables that might positively or negatively predict rheumatic fever based on diagnostic capacity at three levels/tiers of the Ugandan healthcare system. Variables were put into three statistical models that were built sequentially. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate ORs and 95% CI of predictors of ARF. Performance of the models was determined using Akaike information criterion, adjusted R2, concordance C statistic, Brier score and adequacy index. RESULTS A model with clinical predictor variables available at a lower-level health centre (tier 1) predicted ARF with an optimism corrected area under the curve (AUC) (c-statistic) of 0.69. Adding tests available at the district level (tier 2, ECG, complete blood count and malaria testing) increased the AUC to 0.76. A model that additionally included diagnostic tests available at the national referral hospital (tier 3, echocardiography, anti-streptolysin O titres, erythrocyte sedimentation rate/C-reactive protein) had the best performance with an AUC of 0.91. CONCLUSIONS Reducing the burden of rheumatic heart disease in low and middle-income countries requires overcoming challenges of ARF diagnosis. Ensuring that possible cases can be evaluated using electrocardiography and relatively simple blood tests will improve diagnostic accuracy somewhat, but access to echocardiography and tests to confirm recent streptococcal infection will have the greatest impact.

Abstract
Coronary angiography remains the standard for diagnosis of cardiac transplant vasculopathy (CAV), but it is invasive. Non-invasively derived left ventricle (LV) global myocardial work (GMW) indices have not been evaluated. We aimed to assess for correlations between LV GMW and the presence of CAV in a pediatric population. 24 heart transplant patients and 24 normal controls were prospectively enrolled. Patients were age-matched into groups with: orthotopic heart transplant and CAV (OHT-CAV; 6 patients, 33% male, mean age 13.5 years [SD 4.2]), orthotopic heart transplant without CAV (OHT; 18 patients, 67% male, mean age 11.1 years [SD 4.8]), and normal healthy controls (42% male, mean age 12.8 years [SD 5.0]). Transplant patients underwent cardiac catheterization with coronary angiography within 3 months of echocardiogram. Post-processing of echocardiograms with speckle-tracking echocardiography and derivation of GMW indices was performed. OHT-CAV patients had decreased global work efficiency (GWE) compared to OHT (mean difference = 7.01 [1.76, 12.25], adjusted p < 0.01). LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) and LV ejection fraction were not different between groups. Both global work index and GWE were decreased in OHT-CAV and OHT when compared to normal controls (OHT-CAV 1311.23 mmHg% vs OHT 1426.22 mmHg% vs controls 1802.81 mmHg%, adjusted p < 0.01; OHT-CAV 83.87% vs. OHT 90.87% vs. controls 95.41%, adjusted p < 0.01). GWE correlated negatively with the presence of CAV (r = - 0.44 [- 0.72, - 0.05]). This pilot study demonstrates decreased GWE correlates with pediatric CAV. This supports the need for further investigation of this promising diagnostic tool.

Abstract
Rhythm-symptom correlation in pediatric patients with syncope/palpitations or at risk cohorts can be difficult, but important given potential associations with treatable or malignant arrhythmia. We sought to evaluate the use, efficacy and outcomes of implantable loop recorders (ILR) in pediatrics. We conducted a retrospective study of pediatric patients (<21 years) with implanted ILR. Patient/historical characteristics and ILR indication were obtained. Outcomes including symptom documentation, arrhythmia detection and ILR based changes in medical care were identified. Comparison of outcomes were performed based on implant indication. Additional sub-analyses were performed in syncope-indication patients comparing those with and without changes in clinical management. A total of 116 patients with ILR implant were identified (79 syncope/37 other). Symptoms were documented 58% of patients (syncope 68% vs nonsyncope 35%; p = 0.002). A total of 37% of patients had a documented clinically significant arrhythmia and 25% of patients had a resultant change in clinical management independent of implant indication. Arrhythmia type was dependent on implant indication with nonsyncope patients having more ventricular arrhythmias. Pacemaker/defibrillator implantation and mediation management were the majority of the clinical changes. In conclusion, IRL utilization in selected pediatric populations is associated with high efficacy and supports clinical management. ILR efficacy is similar regardless of indication although patients with nonsyncope indications had a higher frequency of ventricular arrhythmias as opposed to asystole and heart block in syncope indications. The majority of arrhythmic findings occurred in the first 12 months, and new technology that would allow for less invasive monitoring for 6 to 12 months may be of value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Motor abnormalities of pharyngeal contraction or upper esophageal sphincter (UES) relaxation can lead to swallowing problems. METHODS We reviewed high-resolution esophageal manometry of children ≤18 years and classified into two groups based on the results of videofluoroscopic study of swallow (VFSS), as normal or abnormal. The UES metrics (integrated relaxation pressure [IRP], resting pressure [URP], and nadir pressure [UNP]), as well as peak pharyngeal pressure (velopharyngeal and meso-hypopharyngeal), were analyzed. RESULTS UES metrics: There were 142 and 19 subjects in the normal and abnormal groups, respectively. In the normal group, the median UES-IRP at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 seconds, URP, and UNP were 1.0, 4.0, 11.0, 18.0, 53.5, and -1.0 mm Hg while in the abnormal group were 10.0, 13.0, 21.0, 25.5, 47.0, and 8.0 mm Hg. The UES-IRP at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 seconds, and UNP was significantly higher in the abnormal group. Pharyngeal metrics: We included 58 subjects in normal and 10 subjects in the abnormal group. The median of peak velopharyngeal and meso-hypopharyngeal pressures were lower in the abnormal group; 188.50 vs 210.50, P = .185 and 110.00 vs 144.75 mm Hg, P = .065. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES The UES-IRP was lower than adults, URP was higher than preterm but less than adults, and UNP was lower than neonates but similar to adults. The pharyngeal pressures were higher than those reported for neonates and adults. Our data indicate that motor dynamics of swallowing may change from neonates to adulthood and reflect a maturational process. The subjects with abnormal VFSS had significantly higher UES-IRP and UNP compared to normal VFSS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is associated with poor quality of life. Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) has traditionally been reserved for patients with refractory disease. We hypothesized TPIAT would lead to decreased costs and resource utilization after operation in children. METHODS Retrospective review of 39 patients who underwent TPIAT at a single children's hospital was performed. All inpatient admissions, imaging, endoscopic procedures, and operations were recorded for the year prior to and following operation. Costs were determined from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. RESULTS Median hospital admissions before operation was 5 (IQR:2-7) and decreased to 2 (IQR:1-3) after (p < 0.01). Median total cost for the year before operation was $36,006 (IQR:$19,914-$47,680), decreasing to $24,900 postoperatively (IQR:$17,432-$44,005, p = 0.03). Removing cost of TPIAT itself, total cost was further reduced to $10,564 (IQR:$3096-$29,669, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION In children with debilitating CP, TPIAT has favorable impact on cost reduction, hospitalizations, and invasive procedures. Early intervention at a specialized pancreas center of excellence should be considered to decrease future resource utilization and costs among children.

Abstract
1. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the complete mitochondrial genome, genetic diversity and maternal origin of Huainan Partridge chicken (HPC).2. One complete mitochondrial genome and 37 complete D-loop regions of HPC were sequenced. Moreover, 400 mitochondrial genome D-loop sequences of Chinese native chicken were downloaded from the National Centre for Biotechnology Information database.3. The complete HPC genome was 16,785 bp in size, including 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and one non-coding control region. The haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity of HPC were 0.964, and 0.00615, respectively. Twenty-three variable sites defining 22 haplotypes were identified, and the 22 haplotypes were distributed into three haplogroups (A, B, and C).4. In conclusion, HPC has a typical vertebrate mitochondrial genome, relatively high haplotype diversity, relatively low nucleotide diversity, and potentially three maternal lineages. HPC showed considerable genetic information exchange with Southwest Chinese chicken populations and had not admixed with European commercial breeds in the course of domestication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of Circular RNA 0091579 in the progression of liver cancer (LCa) and its molecular mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect circ_0091579 expression levels in LCa tissues and adjacent tissues, which was further verified in LCa cells and normal liver epithelial cells. After circ_0091579 was knocked down in Huh7 and HepG2 cells, cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), plate cloning and transwell assays were performed to verify the effect of circ_0091579 on cell proliferative ability and metastasis of LCa cells. The starBase database was used to search for microRNAs that could interact with circ_0091579, and the Dual-Luciferase reporter gene was used to verify their binding relationship. RESULTS circ_0091579 was highly expressed in HCC and HCC cells. In vitro experiments showed that down-regulation of circ_0091579 expression could remarkably inhibit the proliferative ability and metastasis of HCC cells. Bioinformatics software predicted the binding sites between circ_0091579 and microRNA-490-3p, and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed the binding relationship between circ_0091579 and microRNA-490-3p. qPCR results showed that microRNA-490-3p was remarkably down-regulated in LCa tissues. In vitro experiments confirmed that overexpression of microRNA-490-3p inhibited the proliferative ability and metastasis of HCC cells. CONCLUSIONS circ_0091579 is abnormally highly expressed in LCa tissues and cells. Down-regulation of circ_0091579 can inhibit the proliferative ability and metastasis of HCC cells by regulating microRNA-490-3p, thus accelerating the progress of the tumor.

Abstract
Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. Increased expression of olfactomedin-4 (OLFM4), a glycoprotein contained within a subpopulation of neutrophils, has been associated with complicated course in sepsis. The factors that regulate OLFM4 expression are unknown. Here, we followed children undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to document the percentage of neutrophils that express OLFM4 over time. This population was selected because of the ability to observe nascent neutrophils following engraftment, perform frequent blood sampling, and the children are at high risk for clinical complications that may associate with changes in percentage of OLFM4+ neutrophils. We found a surprising degree of variability of OLFM4 expression between patients. In the weeks following initial neutrophil recovery we also saw great variability in OLFM4 expression within individual patients, indicating that multiple external factors may modify OLFM4 expression. We identified decreased expression of CD64 (a marker associated with response to infection), in OLFM4+ neutrophils. This is the first study to demonstrate fluctuation in OLFM4 expression within patients and provides insight into possible mechanisms for OLFM4 regulation in nascent neutrophils.

Abstract
Purpose: Examine the impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on parenting behavior over time. Method: Included 206 children (3-7 years old) with moderate to severe TBI or orthopedic injury, using a prospective longitudinal cohort study design. Assessments completed at baseline, 6-months, 12-months, 18-months, 3.5 years, and 6.8 years after injury. Dependent variables included authoritative, permissive, and authoritarian parenting. Results: Injury characteristics had limited impact on parenting behaviors over time. Levels of authoritative parenting remained stable over time; however, levels of warmth and involvement declined over time for those with TBI. Levels of permissive and authoritarian parenting declined for all participants by 3.5 years post injury. SES and stressors impacted parenting behaviors. Conclusions: While there was limited effect of TBI on parenting behavior over time, it remains unclear how individuals respond to these parenting behaviors years after injury. Clinicians should monitor family and parenting behaviors to foster an environment to promote positive recovery.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression and significance of STOX1 in different stages of gestation villi and placenta. Methods: Totally 137 cases of normal villi and placenta of pregnant women were collected from the Department of Obstetrics of Shanghai Pudong Hospital from October 1(st) 2015 to February 28(th) 2018, including 64 cases of early pregnancy (early pregnancy group) which consists of 32 cases of 5-7(+6) weeks gestation (early pregnancy group A) and 32 cases of 8-11(+3) weeks gestation (early pregnancy group B), 28 cases of 14-26 weeks gestation(middle pregnancy group) and 45 cases of 37-41 weeks gestation (late pregnancy group). The expression and localization of STOX1 mRNA and protein in placenta were evaluated by RT-qPCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Results: (1)STOX1 was positively expressed in the cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts as well as interstitial and vascular endothelial cells of all groups. (2)STOX1 mRNA expression in each group was significantly different (P<0.05), the lowest was in the early pregnancy group A(0.007 8±0.000 4), which increased along with the progression of gestational age(P<0.05),and reached the highest level in the third trimester(0.064 4±0.001 3). (3)The protein level of STOX1 in different stages of normal pregnancy was 0.53±0.20 in early pregnancy group A;0.62±0.37 in early pregnancy group B;0.70±0.03 in middle pregnancy group and 0.81±0.04 in late pregnancy group respectively; which was positively related with the progression of gestational age (P<0.05). Conclusion: The expressions of STOX1 is gradually increasing along with the normal pregnancy progression, suggesting that it might be involved in proliferation, differentiation and infiltration and (or) apoptosis of trophoblast cells and the development of the placenta.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To determine whether online family problem-solving treatment (OFPST) is more effective in improving behavioral outcomes after pediatric traumatic brain injury with increasing time since injury. METHODS This was an individual participant data meta-analysis of outcome data from 5 randomized controlled trials of OFPST conducted between 2003 and 2016. We included 359 children ages 5 to 18 years who were hospitalized for moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury 1 to 24 months earlier. Outcomes, assessed pre- and posttreatment, included parent-reported measures of externalizing, internalizing, and executive function behaviors and social competence. RESULTS Participants included 231 boys and 128 girls with an average age at injury of 13.6 years. Time since injury and age at injury moderated OFPST efficacy. For earlier ages and short time since injury, control participants demonstrated better externalizing problem scores than those receiving OFPST (Cohen's d = 0.44; P = .008; n = 295), whereas at older ages and longer time since injury, children receiving OFPST had better scores (Cohen's d = -0.60; P = .002). Children receiving OFPST were rated as having better executive functioning relative to control participants at a later age at injury, with greater effects seen at longer (Cohen's d = -0.66; P = .009; n = 298) than shorter (Cohen's d = -0. 28; P = .028) time since injury. CONCLUSIONS OFPST may be more beneficial for older children and when begun after the initial months postinjury. With these findings, we shed light on the optimal application of family problem-solving treatments within the first 2 years after injury.

Abstract
This study examined whether the ankyrin repeat and kinase domain containing 1 gene (ANKK1) C/T single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1800497 moderated the association of family environment with long-term executive function (EF) following traumatic injury in early childhood. Caregivers of children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and children with orthopedic injury completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) at post-injury visits. DNA was collected to identify the rs1800497 genotype in the ANKK1 gene. General linear models examined gene-environment interactions as moderators of the effects of TBI on EF at two times post-injury (12 months and 7 years). At 12 months post-injury, analyses revealed a significant three-way interaction of genotype with level of permissive parenting and injury type. Post hoc analyses showed genetic effects were more pronounced for children with TBI from more positive family environments, such that children with TBI who were carriers of the risk allele (T-allele) had significantly poorer EF compared with non-carriers only when they were from more advantaged environments. At 7 years post-injury, analyses revealed a significant two-way interaction of genotype with level of authoritarian parenting. Post hoc analyses found that carriers of the risk allele had significantly poorer EF compared with non-carriers only when they were from more advantaged environments. These results suggest a gene-environment interaction involving the ANKK1 gene as a predictor of EF in a pediatric injury population. The findings highlight the importance of considering environmental influences in future genetic studies on recovery following TBI and other traumatic injuries in childhood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Care decisions for young children presenting to the emergency department (ED) with head injury are often challenging (e.g. whether to obtain neuroimaging). We sought to identify factors associated with acute management of children at-risk for clinically important traumatic brain injury (ciTBI) and describe symptom management. METHODS Observational evaluation of children, ages 0-4years, presenting to a pediatric ED following minor head injury. Children with ≥1 risk element per the Pediatric Emergency Care Academic Research Network's decision rule were deemed "at-risk" for ciTBI. Clinician surveys regarding their initial clinical management were used to identify three care groups. Nonparametric tests analyzed group differences and logistic regression investigated associations of putative high-risk factors with neuroimaging. RESULTS Of 104 children enrolled: (i) 30 underwent neuroimaging, (ii) 59 were observed, and (iii) 15 were discharged following the clinician's initial patient exam. Children with a non-frontal scalp hematoma were more likely to receive immediate neuroimaging and children not acting like themselves per caregiver report were more likely to be initially observed, relative to the other care groups (p≤0.01). Among high-risk factors, altered mental status (OR 5.12, 95% CI 1.8-21.1), presence of ≥3 risk elements of the decision rule (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.2-10.6), unclear skull fracture on exam (OR 31.3, 95% CI 5.4-593.8), and age<3months (OR 5.3, 95% CI 1.5-21.9) were associated with neuroimaging. No child had ciTBI. TBI symptoms (e.g. vomiting) were infrequently treated. CONCLUSIONS ED management varied for young children with similar risk stratification. Investigation of how age in concert with specific risk factors influences medical decision making would advance evidenced-based care.

Abstract
Parent behaviors moderate the adverse consequences of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI); however, it is unknown how these moderating effects change over time. This study examined the moderating effect of observed parent behaviors over time since injury on the relation between TBI and behavioral outcomes. Participants included children, ages 3-7 years, hospitalized for moderate (n = 52) or severe (n = 20) TBI or orthopedic injury (OI; n = 95). Parent-child dyads were videotaped during structured task and free play conditions, and parents completed child behavior ratings. Linear mixed models using a lagged, time-varying moderator analysis examined the relationship of observed parent behaviors at the baseline, 6-month, and 12-month assessments to child behavior problems at 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months postinjury, after controlling for preinjury levels of child behavior problems. The effect of TBI on behavior was exacerbated by less favorable parent behaviors, and buffered by more favorable parent behaviors, in children with severe TBI over the first 12 months postinjury. By 18 months postinjury, however, the moderating effect of parent behaviors diminished, such that children with severe TBI showed more behavior problems relative to children with moderate TBI or OI regardless of parent behaviors or in response to parent behaviors that were initially protective. The results suggest that the moderating effects of the family environment are complex and likely vary in relation to both recovery and developmental factors, with potentially important implications for targets and timing of intervention.

Abstract
The objectives of the study were to characterize long-term neuropsychological outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI) sustained during early childhood, and determine whether identified neuropsychological impairments mediated the effect of TBI on long-term adaptive functioning. Participants included 16 children with severe TBI, 42 children with moderate TBI, and 72 children with orthopedic injuries (OI) sustained between ages 3 and 7 years. Children completed neuropsychological tests and caregivers completed a structured interview of child adaptive functioning at 6.9 (±1.10) years post-injury. Profile analysis and multiple mediator modeling were employed. Children with severe TBI demonstrated poorer fluid reasoning and inhibitory control than both children with moderate TBI and OI, as well as slower processing speed than the OI group. Both fluid reasoning and processing speed were significant independent mediators of the effect of severe TBI on adaptive functioning. No neuropsychological measure significantly mediated the effect of moderate TBI on adaptive functioning. Children sustaining early severe TBI demonstrate persisting neuropsychological impairments into adolescence and young adulthood. The impact of severe TBI on children's long-term adaptive functioning is mediated in part by its effects on fluid reasoning and processing speed.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the major causes of chronic liver inflammation. Tim-3 acts as a negative regulatory molecule and plays a critical role in immune tolerance. In the current study, we investigated Tim-3 expression on peripheral monocytes and CD3+CD16/CD56+ natural killer like T (NKT-like) cells in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 52 CHB patients and 60 healthy controls. Tim-3+CD14+ cells and Tim-3+CD3+CD16/CD56+ cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results showed that expression of Tim-3 was significantly increased on both the monocytes and NKT-like cells in CHB patients than in controls (P = 0.002 and P < 0.001, respectively). Tim-3 levels on monocytes and NKT-like cells were further upregulated in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). In addition, we assessed the correlation of Tim-3 expression with levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Data revealed that Tim-3 expression on both monocytes and NKT-like cells was positively correlated with level of ALT (r = 0.59, P < 0.001, and r = 0.60, P < 0.001, respectively), whereas Tim-3 expression on NKT-like cells was negatively correlated with serum level of TNF-α (r = -0.54, P < 0.001) in CHB patients. Our results suggest that Tim-3 may play important roles in the pathogenesis of CHB.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest HDL exists as numerous subpopulations with distinct protein/lipid compositions that are not reflected in the HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) number. In this study, we sought to evaluate HDL subpopulations in adolescents with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to determine if changes in HDL composition are associated with early vascular disease. T2D (n = 10), lean (n = 9), and obese (n = 11) youth were recruited. Plasma was fractionated using gel-filtration chromatography, and lipid-associated proteins were identified using mass spectrometry. Concurrently, vascular stiffness was assessed using pulse wave velocity (PWV). We found youth with T2D exhibited decreased phospholipid content in fractions containing large HDL particles that was inversely associated with PWV (P < 0.001). No association was noted between HDL-C and PWV. Proteomic analysis revealed changes in 7 of 45 identified proteins in the T2D group, including apolipoprotein (apo) A-II, apoE, and paraoxonase-1 (P < 0.05). Our data demonstrate early changes in the lipid and protein compositions of specific HDL subspecies in adolescents with T2D that are related to early markers of arterial disease. These findings suggest that analyzing the composition of HDL, rather than HDL-C, may be useful in assessing cardiovascular risk in this population.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Reports suggest that Bacillus spp. can be used to increase plant growth and resistance to disease, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between Bacillus spp. and plant is not completely understood. In the present study, to clarify these underlying mechanisms, the interaction between Bacillus cereus and rice was investigated using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Through comparative analysis, a total of 31 differentially expressed proteins were obtained upon B. cereus NMSL88 treatment, including 22 proteins that were up-regulated and nine that were down-regulated. These data indicated that certain proteins involved in plant growth and development were up-regulated, such as xyloglucan endotransglycosylase. Interestingly, proteins involved in defence were also up-regulated, including peroxidases, glutathione S-transferases and kinases. Thus, proteins associated with disease resistance characteristics were induced in the plants after exposure to B. cereus NMSL88. In addition, several proteins involved in protein and lipid metabolism showed significant changes in expression. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The present study is the first report to reveal the molecular mechanisms involved in rice seedlings in response to inoculation with Bacillus cereus at the level of proteome. The results demonstrated that B. cereus NMSL88 can up-regulate the expression of proteins related to plant growth and defence, and lead to enhanced plant growth and disease resistance.
