Do you get infuriated when members of the team say ‘they did the baseline bloods’ ? Have you ever sent off a screening test or diagnostic test and found something you weren’t expecting and had to launch into further investigations and uncomfortable discussions with families? Ganguli I et al . [ JAMA Netw Open 2019;2(10):e1913325. Doi10.1001/jamanetworkopen.209.13325] describe this process as a ‘cascade of care after incidental findings’ which have gone on to require an intervention and treatments which may be of uncertain value. Anecdotally this has been described in the literature but no study has examined physician perception and experiences of this phenomenon. This is an American study of adult physicians but I think it highlights a potential issue for paediatrics and the paper is well worth examining. The authors asked the following three questions: How common are cascades of care after incidental findings? What occurs during these cascades? What are... from Archives of Disease

The British Paediatric Surveillance Unit (BPSU) conducts surveillance of rare paediatric conditions using active, or prospective, case finding. The reliability of estimates of incidence, which is the primary outcome of public health importance, depends on ascertainment being as near complete as possible. This paper reviews evidence of the completeness of ascertainment in recent surveillance studies run through the BPSU. Ascertainment varied between 49% and 94% depending on the study. These are upper estimates. This was the basis of a discussion on barriers and facilitators of ascertainment which we have separated into factors related to the condition, factors related to the study methods, factors related to the study team and factors related to the surveillance system infrastructure. This leads to a series of recommendations to ensure continuing high levels of ascertainment in active surveillance studies. from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue https://ift.tt/2YQam9C

In recent years, several high-profile court cases generated headlines across the globe. Notably, they brought conflict between families of seriously ill children and the medical profession to the forefront. These conflicts, especially when the courts become involved, are highly destructive to all parties concerned, as the focus inevitably shifts from the child to the conflict itself. Often, at the heart of conflict, is a lack of effective communication between a patient’s family and their health providers. In order to assist health workers in the prevention, recognition and management of conflict in paediatrics, a Conflict Management Framework (CMF) and a set of guidelines endorsed by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) have been developed. Here, I review recent high-profile court cases to underscore the changing landscape of conflict and the central role that the media (and social media in particular) can play in fuelling and intensifying conflicts. The CMF and R
