Accuracy of Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Skull Fractures in Children

Head injuries and concern for skull fracture are common in pediatrics. Point-of-care ultrasound is an imaging tool that can be used to diagnose fractures. However, there are scant data regarding the accuracy of point-of-care ultrasound in skull fracture diagnosis.

Clinicians with focused point-of-care ultrasound training are able to diagnose skull fractures in children with high specificity. Ultrasound may be valuable to diagnose skull fractures in children at the point of care. (Read the full article)

Point-of-Care Child Psychiatry Expertise: The Massachusetts Child Psychiatry Access Project

A program to support pediatric primary care providers in mental health care using point-of-care, telephone-based advice from specialists has been available since 2005 in Massachusetts. Other US states are implementing similar models. Little is known about how providers use this service.

There is wide variability in adoption and use of this program. Patterns are associated with panel size, enrollment timing, and assignment to the program team at the pilot site. Findings will help new programs establish expectations and design implementation interventions. (Read the full article)

Point-of-Care Quantitative Measure of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Enzyme Deficiency

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency remains a global as well as a North American burden for extreme hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus and is often unpredictable during the first few days after birth. Newborn screening for this enzyme deficiency is not universally available but debated.

Point-of-care screening, using digital microfluidics, provides accurate, low blood volume, and affordable technology for rapid newborn glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme screening that could guide clinicians before infants’ discharge from well-child nurseries and meet existing American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations.

Towards harmonization of voriconazole CLSI and EUCAST breakpoints for Candida albicans using a validated in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model [Susceptibility]

Background. CLSI and EUCAST susceptibility breakpoints for voriconazole and C. albicans differ by one dilution (≤0.125 and ≤0.06 mg/l, respectively) whereas the epidemiological cutoff values (ECOFF/ECV) with both methodologies are the same (0.03 mg/L). We therefore determined the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) breakpoints of voriconazole against C. albicans for both methodologies with an in vitro PK/PD model, which was validated using existing animal PK/PD data.

Methods. Four clinical wild-type and non-wild-type C. albicans isolates (voriconazole MICs 0.008-0.125 mg/l) were tested in an in vitro PK/PD model. For validation purposes, mouse PK were simulated and in vitro PD were compared with in vivo outcome. Human PK were simulated and the exposure-effect relationship fAUC0-24/MIC was described for EUCAST and CLSI24/48h methods. PK/PD breakpoints were determined using the fAUC0-24/MIC associated with half-maximal activity (EI50) and Monte Carlo simulation analysis.

Results. The in vitro 24h-PD EI50 of voriconazole against C. albicans were 2.5-5 (1.5-17) fAUC/MIC. However, the 72h-PD were higher, 133 (51-347) fAUC/MIC for EUCAST and 94 (35-252) fAUC/MIC for CLSI. The mean (95% confidence interval) probability of target attainment (PTA) was 100(95-100)%, 97(72-100)%, 83(35-99)%, and 49(8-91)% and 100(97-100)%, 99(85-100)%, 91(52-100)% and 68(17-96)% for EUCAST and CLSI MICs 0.03, 0.06, 0.125, and 0.25 mg/L, respectively. Significantly, >95% PTAs were found for EUCAST/CLSI MICs ≤0.03 mg/ll. For MICs 0.06-0.125 mg/l trough levels 1-4 mg/ll would be required.

Conclusion. A PK/PD breakpoint of C. albicans voriconazole at the ECOFF/ECV of 0.03 mg/L was determined for both EUCAST/CLSI methods, indicating the need for breakpoint harmonization for the reference methodologies.
