In responsive to the COVID-19 pandemic, paediatric services adapted working practices. While changes to traditional face-to-face appointments were necessary enabling consultations to continue, it was initially unclear whether new technologies would be reliable or acceptable to staff and patients. Following social distancing commencing in late March 2020, Seaside View Child Development Centre, Brighton, UK (specialising in children with special needs, primarily neurodevelopmental and complex disabilities), converted all appointments to video or telephone formats. The department sought service user and staff experiences of video consultations to assess the impact of this intervention. All families who had AccuRx video consultations, within a 5-week period, were sent anonymised qualitative questionnaires. Appointments performed included multiprofessional appointments: 57% were follow-ups and 17% autism-specific histories. All staff members (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupationa

Answers regarding the precise aetiology and optimal treatments for Kawasaki disease (KD) remain frustratingly elusive. The medium vessel vasculitis with a predilection for coronary arteries continues to be the leading cause of acquired heart disease in developed countries and is being increasingly recognised in less resourced areas. While the cause remains unclear, epidemiological data suggest an infectious trigger for genetically susceptible individuals. Contemporary treatments have drastically improved outcomes, although a select group of patients continue to experience morbidity beyond the inflammatory phase of the condition. Robust evidence supports the use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and aspirin for reducing the risk of KD-related coronary artery aneurysms (CAA). The role of other adjunctive therapies, however, remains unclear despite over 40 years of observational and interventional studies exploring a range of treatment options. The use of primary corticosteroid treatm

The national implementation groups of early warning systems in the UK and Ireland have identified a need to understand implementation, adoption and maintenance of these complex interventions. The literature on how to implement, scale, spread and sustain these systems is sparse. We describe a successful adoption and maintenance over 10 years of a paediatric early warning system as a sociotechnical intervention using the Nonadoption, Abandonment, Challenges to the Scale-Up, Spread, and Sustainability Framework for Health and Care Technologies. The requirement for iterative processes within environment, culture, policy, human action and the wider system context may explain the possible reasons for improved outcomes in small-scale implementation and meta-analyses that are not reported in multicentre randomised control trials of early warning systems. from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue https://ift.tt/3u72Arc

Vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD) are a significant risk to paediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients on lifelong immunosuppressive therapy. Children progressing to end-stage organ dysfunction are unable to mount a robust immune response. Hence, it is important to plan vaccination early in the course of disease, especially if a child is anticipated to be a SOT candidate. Vaccine recommendations need to be individualised in this population based on vaccine history and serology. Catch-up or accelerated schedules may be used to complete vaccinations before transplant. Post-transplant, immunisation is recommenced in consultation with the transplant team taking into context the time since transplant and the intensity of the immunosuppressive regime. Inactivated vaccines are safe post-transplant but postexposure prophylaxis may still be required in children with inadequate immunity to VPD. Specific vaccines may be advised for SOT recipients travelling abroad (in consultation with a

Archivist was so pleased to see this wonderful publication. Sometimes studies take a long time from inception to publication and final clinical impact. Simon Langton-Hewer and team have to be congratulated. October 2011 to January 2017 was the recruitment period, but those who have been involved with large multicentre studies realise that it can take years (... and I do mean years; from the idea, to develop the protocol, set up a network, get stake holders on board, involve parents and children, get the grant, ethics approval, permissions and contracts from each research and development department of each Trust or NHS board involved ...before) to recruit sufficient numbers to answer your question (... and then data clean, analyses, draft and redraft, present at meetings and deal with the questions, get a paper submitted, respond to editors’ and referees’ comments and then get the paper out).
