Abstract
RATIONALE The use of long-term noninvasive respiratory support is increasing in children along with an extension of indications, in particular in children with central nervous system (CNS) disorders. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of children with CNS disorders treated with long-term noninvasive respiratory support in France. METHODS Data were collected from 27 French pediatric university centers through an anonymous questionnaire filled for every child treated with noninvasive ventilatory support ≥3 months on 1st June 2019. MAIN RESULTS The data of 182 patients (55% boys, median age: 10.2 [5.4;14.8] years old [range: 0.3-25]) were collected: 35 (19%) patients had nontumoral spinal cord injury, 22 (12%) CNS tumors, 63 (35%) multiple disabilities, 26 (14%) central alveolar hypoventilation and 36 (20%) other CNS disorders. Seventy five percent of the patients were treated with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and 25% with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The main investigations performed before CPAP/NIV initiation were nocturnal gas exchange recordings, alone or coupled with poly(somno)graphy (in 29% and 34% of the patients, respectively). CPAP/NIV was started in an acute setting in 10% of the patients. Median adherence was 8 [6;10] hours/night, with 12% of patients using treatment <4 h/day. Nasal mask was the most common interface (70%). Airway clearance techniques were used by 31% of patients. CONCLUSION CPAP/NIV may be a therapeutic option in children with CNS disorders. Future studies should assess treatment efficacy and patient reported outcome measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), diagnostic delay could be associated with severity. This study aims to measure the time to diagnosis in MIS-C, assess its impact on the occurrence of cardiogenic shock, and specify its determinants. METHODS A single-center prospective cohort observational study was conducted between May 2020 and July 2022 at a tertiary care hospital. Children meeting the World Health Organization MIS-C criteria were included. A long time to diagnosis was defined as six days or more. Data on time to diagnosis were collected by two independent physicians. The primary outcome was the occurrence of cardiogenic shock. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were used for outcomes, and a Cox proportional hazards model was used for determinants. RESULTS Totally 60 children were assessed for inclusion, and 31 were finally analyzed [52% males, median age 8.8 (5.7-10.7) years]. The median time to diagnosis was 5.3 (4.2-6.2) days. In univariable analysis, age above the median, time to diagnosis, high C-reactive protein, and high N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were associated with cardiogenic shock [odds ratio (OR) 6.13 (1.02-36.9), 2.79 (1.15-6.74), 2.08 (1.05-4.12), and 1.70 (1.04-2.78), respectively]. In multivariable analysis, time to diagnosis ≥ 6 days was associated with cardiogenic shock [adjusted OR (aOR) 21.2 (1.98-227)]. Time to diagnosis ≥ 6 days had a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 77% in predicting cardiogenic shock; the addition of age > 8 years and NT-proBNP at diagnosis ≥ 11,254 ng/L increased the specificity to 91%. Independent determinants of short time to diagnosis were age < 8.8 years [aHR 0.34 (0.13-0.88)], short distance to tertiary care hospital [aHR 0.27 (0.08-0.92)], and the late period of the COVID-19 pandemic [aHR 2.48 (1.05-5.85)]. CONCLUSIONS Time to diagnosis ≥ 6 days was independently associated with cardiogenic shock in MIS-C. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid the use of inotropes and limit morbidity, especially in older children.

Abstract
The authors of the cited paper respond to the critics formulated by a Swedish leading expert regarding methodology shortcomings of our study "Confessed versus denied inflicted head injuries in infants: similarities and differences." They admit some methodological limitations but maintain their conclusions that the diagnosis was correct in the confession and denial groups and that the denial was more difficult in the more severe cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Abusive head injuries (AHI), and in particular shaken baby syndrome (SBS), are common causes of mortality and morbidity in infants. Although SBS is a well-established entity, based on clinical experience and experimental data, and confirmed by the perpetrators' confessions, a growing number of publications challenge the diagnostic criteria, and even the validity of the perpetrators' confession. We decided to study AHI in infants and compare cases with and without confession. MATERIAL AND METHODS We collected prospectively all cases of infantile traumatic head injuries hospitalized in our institution between 2001 and 2021. From this database, we selected victims of AHI, comparing cases for which the perpetrator confessed during police inquiry ("confession" group) versus cases without confession ("denial" group). RESULTS We studied 350 cases of AHI in infants; 137 of these (39.1%) were confessed. We found no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding the child's previous history, as well as the personality and previous history of the caretakers. However, the "confession" group showed significantly more severe clinical presentation, cerebral lesions, retinal hemorrhages, and a more pejorative outcome. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the diagnosis of AHI was confirmed by the confession in a large number of cases, indicating that the diagnostic criteria of AHI are robust. We also found that denial, although possibly sincere, was likely ill-founded, and that the perpetrators' decision to confess or deny was markedly influenced by the severity of the inflicted lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ROHHAD syndrome (Rapid-onset Obesity with Hypothalamic dysfunction, Hypoventilation and Autonomic Dysregulation) is rare. Rapid-onset morbid obesity is usually the first recognizable sign of this syndrome, however a subset of patients develop ROHHAD syndrome without obesity. The prevalence of this entity is currently unknown. Alteration of respiratory control as well as dysautonomic disorders often have a fatal outcome, thus early recognition of this syndrome is essential. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective, observational, multicenter study including all cases of ROHHAD without rapid-onset obesity diagnosed in France from 2000 to 2020. RESULTS Four patients were identified. Median age at diagnosis was 8 years 10 months. Median body mass index was 17.4 kg/m2. Signs of autonomic dysfunction presented first, followed by hypothalamic disorders. All four patients had sleep apnea syndrome. Hypoventilation led to the diagnosis. Three of the four children received ventilatory support, all four received hormone replacement therapy, and two received psychotropic treatment. One child in our cohort died at 2 years 10 months old. For the three surviving patients, median duration of follow-up was 7.4 years. CONCLUSION ROHHAD syndrome without rapid-onset obesity is a particular entity, appearing later than ROHHAD with obesity. This entity should be considered in the presence of dysautonomia disorders without brain damage. Likewise, the occurrence of a hypothalamic syndrome with no identified etiology requires a sleep study to search for apnea and hypoventilation. The identification of ROHHAD syndrome without rapid-onset obesity is a clinical challenge, with major implications for patient prognosis.

Abstract
AIM To report our 10 year experience with noradrenaline use in children with septic shock focusing on doses, routes of administration and complications. METHODS Retrospective single-centre review of children with septic shock who received noradrenaline between 2000 and 2010. RESULTS We identified 144 children with septic shock treated with noradrenaline, in 22% as the first-line drug. The median volume resuscitation before vasoactive agent administration was 50 mL/kg interquartile range [IQR: 30-70]. Mean doses of noradrenaline ranged from 0.5 ± 0.4 μg/kg per min (starting dose) to 2.5 ± 2.2 μg/kg per min (maximum dose). Noradrenaline was administered via peripheral venous access or intra-osseous route in 19% of cases for a median duration of 3 h [IQR: 2-4] without any adverse effects. The use of noradrenaline increased over the study period. Mortality rate was 45% with a significant decrease over the study period. Adverse effects included arrhythmia in two children and hypertension in eight children. None of these arrhythmias required treatment and hypertension resolved with the noradrenaline dose reduction. CONCLUSION Higher doses of noradrenaline than those suggested in the literature may be necessary to reverse hypotension and hypoperfusion. The use of noradrenaline through peripheral venous access or intra-osseous route was safe, without any adverse effects.
