The UK Turner syndrome (TS) study examined the effect on final height of oxandrolone 0.05 mg/kg/day (maximum dose 2.5 mg) versus placebo from 9 years of age; and delaying ethinylestradiol induction of puberty by 2 years from 12 (E12) to 14 (E14) years in growth hormone-treated girls with TS. The study ran from 1999 to 2013. By 2011, eighty-two of 92 participants had reached final height and an interim analysis using the Super-Imposition by Translation And Rotation model showed significant increases in final height with both oxandrolone and E14. The analysis has been repeated now that all 92 patients have reached final height. Oxandrolone still significantly increased final height by 4.1 cm (95% CI 1.6 to 6.6, n=92) compared with 4.6 cm previously. However, the E14 effect was no longer significant at 2.7 cm (95% CI –0.8 to 6.1, n=56) compared with 3.8 cm previously. from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue https://ift.tt/34auMhG

The epidemiology of meningococcal disease is changing in the UK. It is now a rare cause of non-blanching rashes in children presenting to the emergency department. All paediatricians will have been faced with a child with a non-blanching rash. The dilemma is well rehearsed: should this child have invasive investigations and administration of intravenous antibiotics in order to treat possible meningococcal disease or should they simply be observed for some time or indeed discharged with a clinical diagnosis of probable enterovirus without any intervention. The risk is of course, missing severe sepsis and the possible unnecessary death of a child vs inflicting many more children to unnecessary investigations, over treatment with antibiotics and unnecessary hospital admission and cost and contributing to the more global issue of antimicrobial resistance. Waterfield T et al [ Lancet Infectious Disease 2020 https://ift.tt/37idFwh (20)30474-6] have published a magnificent study of over 150

Children of drug-misusing women are a vulnerable group. Data describing the pattern of accommodation placements are lacking. We investigated 10- to 12-year accommodation outcomes of children born to drug-misusing mothers at a single maternity hospital. 94% of mothers were prescribed maintenance methadone during pregnancy and at least 87% poly-drug used. Data were successfully matched for 132 children (29% of the original cohort of 450 babies). These children had a total of 291 placements (median 2 (range 1–6)), only 28.5% of which were with the birth parents. At 10–12 years, 54 (41%) were in the care of their parent(s). 83% (109/132) were discharged from the maternity hospital to their birth parents; 41% of these children (54/132) remained with their parents at 10–12 years. Of the 23 children not discharged from the maternity unit to their parents, 70% remain within the care system or have been adopted at 10–12 years of age. from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue http

After 8 years of recruitment to this study, Schuh S et al [ JAMA 2020;324:2038–2047 doi:10.1001/jama.2020.19839] have reported the results of this randomised, double blind, placebo controlled parallel group controlled trial. PERC (Paediatric Emergency Research Network of Canada) is a large research network and some of their members, recruited children between 2011 and 2019, in seven tertiary-care paediatric emergency departments. The participants were previously healthy children aged 2 to 17 years with moderate to severe asthma defined by a Paediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) score of 5 or greater (on a 12-point scale) after a 1 hour treatment with an oral corticosteroid and three inhaled salbutamol and ipratropium treatments. Of 5846 screened patients, 818 were randomised and 816 were analysed. This team asked the question. What is the effectiveness of nebulised magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) in children and adolescents with acute asthma in the emergency department who rema

Better understanding of the proportion of children who ever receive special educational needs (SEN) provision or social care services during school years is highly relevant for healthcare as reductions in one or more of these services could impact on healthcare. Using the National Pupil Database linked to the all-of-England children looked after return and children in need census, we estimated the cumulative incidence of SEN status among (1) children ever in care during school, (2) children in need but not care, and (3) neither. We observed a very high proportion of children who were in care or need during school years had SEN provision at some point (83% and 65%, respectively), and that a high proportion of children in neither of these groups did so, too (37%). Healthcare, SEN provision and social care services focus on a similar population of children. Better integration of these services could lead to synergies and cost-efficiencies and better support for these children and their fa
