Trajectories of Autism Severity in Children Using Standardized ADOS Scores

Autism spectrum disorders are characterized by heterogeneous severity. Previous latent variable analyses of longitudinal data have focused on trajectories of related features such as IQ, and not on changes over time in standardized, observational measures of core autism symptoms.

Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule–calibrated severity scores allow comparisons of observational data from toddlerhood to adolescence. This first report of latent autism severity trajectory classes indicates that most children show stability in core symptom severity over many years; small groups improved or worsened.

A Novel Multispecialty Surgical Risk Score for Children

Current measures of risk stratification in the pediatric surgical literature are specialty specific. Although these risk scores have been validated as useful predictors of adverse outcomes, no measures currently exist to assess the full spectrum of pediatric surgery.

Our study generates a multispecialty mortality risk score for pediatric surgical patients that can be used by physicians to identify high-risk patients as well as provide a measure of risk adjustment for surgical outcomes. (Read the full article)

Retrospective Evaluation of a New Neonatal Trigger Score

Trigger scores and early warning systems provide an objective measure of a patient’s condition, allowing earlier recognition of severe illness and adaptation of care. Such scores are established in adult and pediatric populations but remain unevaluated and rarely used in neonates.

This newly designed Neonatal Trigger Score provides an objective adjunct to multidisciplinary clinical assessment in detecting unwell neonates. It is more sensitive and specific than previously validated pediatric early warning system scores. (Read the full article)

Developmental Scores at 1 Year With Increasing Gestational Age, 37-41 Weeks

Cognitive and motor developmental test scores of preterm and late preterm infants increase with gestational age. Developmental test scores in full-term infants have not previously been considered to relate to gestational age.

In a cohort of healthy, full-term infants, 37 to 41 weeks, 12-month mental and psychomotor scores on the Bayley Scales of Infant Development increased with gestational age, suggesting that neurodevelopment is optimal in infants born at 39 to 41 weeks. (Read the full article)

Validity of Different Pediatric Early Warning Scores in the Emergency Department

Pediatric early warning scores (PEWS) for hospital inpatients have been developed to identify patients at risk for deterioration. Beyond triage, similar systems that identify ill patients and predict requirements for a higher level of care are needed in the emergency department.

The validity of the different PEWS in pediatric emergency care patients has never been evaluated. This study showed that PEWS are capable of detecting children in need of ICU admission. (Read the full article)

The Infantile Hemangioma Referral Score: A Validated Tool for Physicians

OBJECTIVES:

Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are common; some cases require timely referral and treatment to prevent complications. We developed and validated a reliable instrument for timely and adequate referral of patients with IH to experts by nonexpert primary physicians.

METHODS:

In this multicenter, cross-sectional, observational study, we used a 3-stage process: (1) development of the Infantile Hemangioma Referral Score (IHReS) tool by IH experts who selected a representative set of 42 IH cases comprising images and a short clinical history, (2) definition of the gold standard for the 42 cases by a second independent committee of IH experts, and (3) IHReS validation by nonexpert primary physicians using the 42 gold standard cases.

RESULTS:

A total of 60 primary physicians from 7 different countries evaluated the 42 gold standard cases (without reference to the IHReS tool); 45 primary physicians evaluated these cases using the IHReS questionnaire, and 44 completed retesting using the instrument. IHReS had a sensitivity of 96.9% (95% confidence interval 96.1%–97.8%) and a specificity of 55.0% (95% confidence interval 51.0%–59.0%). The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 40.5% and 98.3%, respectively. Validation by experts and primary physicians revealed substantial agreement for interrater reliability and intrarater repeatability.

CONCLUSIONS:

IHReS, a 2-part algorithm with a total of 12 questions, is an easy-to-use tool for primary physicians for the purpose of facilitating correct and timely referral of patients with IH. IHReS may help practitioners in their decision to refer patients to expert centers.
