Quality and safety of pediatric inpatient care in community hospitals: a scoping review.
This study’s aim was to conduct a scoping review and synthesize literature on the quality and safety of pediatric inpatient care in nonpediatric hospitals in the United States. A systematic literature review was performed in October 2016 to identify pediatric studies that reported on safety, effectiveness, efficiency, timeliness, patient-centeredness, or equity set. A total of 44 articles were included using inclusion criteria. There was a moderate or high risk of bias for 72% of the studies. This study shows there is very limited research currently and would benefit from more multicenter collaborations.

Associations between enteral nutrition and acute respiratory infection among patients in New York metropolitan region pediatric long-term care facilities.
This study investigated the outcomes of children and a subsample of infants in pediatric long-term care facilities are need enteral nutrition (EN). Those patients who need EN had a higher risk of acute pediatric infection (ARI) and a lower odds of discharge than those who did not. Infants had a particular higher risk of comorbidities and infections when they were fed using percutaneous feeding tubes.

A comparison of safety and efficacy of cytotoxic versus molecularly targeted drugs in pediatric phase I solid tumor oncology trials.
A systematic review of pediatric phase I solid tumor trials published in 1990-2013 was performed. The published reports were evaluated for patient characteristics, toxicity information, and response numbers. The review concluded that in phase I pediatric solid tumor trials, objective response rates were significantly higher for cytotoxic versus targeted agents. Stable disease rates were similar in targeted and cytotoxic drug trials.

Safety and postoperative adverse events in pediatric airway reconstruction: analysis of ACS-NSQIP-P 30-day outcomes.
The researchers describe postoperative sequelae of pediatric airway reconstructive procedures and identify predictive factors for adverse events. They conclude that the 30-day adverse event rate in pediatric airway surgery is high, with no identifiable predictors noted in the analysis of these data. Findings imply that systematic collection of variables and outcomes will be essential to truly effect quality improvement in these high-risk procedures..

Effectiveness and safety of acute care telemedicine for children with regular and special healthcare needs.
The authors assessed the hypothesis that effectiveness and safety of the Health-e-Access telemedicine model for care of children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN) with acute illness equaled those for care of children in regular childcare and schools (CRS). They concluded that observations support safety and effectiveness of Health-e-Access telemedicine for both CSHCN and CRS.
