Long-term health care utilization after cardiac surgery in children covered under Medicaid.
The purpose of this study was to examine the long-term burden of health care expenditures and utilization after pediatric cardiac surgery to improve care and reduce outcome inequities. The study compared children under the age of 18 undergoing cardiac surgery from 2006-2019 to a similar cohort of children without cardiac surgical disease. The research concluded that children after cardiac surgery have substantial long-term health care needs than noncardiac surgical comparators.

Patient Safety Culture Survey in pediatric complex care settings: a factor analysis.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture tool slightly modified for use in the pediatric long-term care facilities (pLTC) setting. Factor analyses were performed on data collected from 239 staff at 3 pLTCs. Findings showed that this study demonstrated that the Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture, with minimal modification, may be an appropriate instrument to measure patient safety culture in pLTC settings. Recommendations included additional psychometric testing to validate further the use of this instrument in this setting, including examining the relationship to safety outcomes.
