eStablish and Formalize Expert Criteria for Avoidable Resuscitation Review (SAFECARR) electronic Delphi: development of a consensus framework for classifying and reviewing cardiac arrests within the PICU.
The authors sought to develop a consensus framework to guide the process of classifying and reviewing pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest in the PICU. A multidisciplinary group of pediatric resuscitation experts generated a consensus-based framework to classify and review pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest in the PICU. The authors recommended that future work focus on the application of this framework and further validation of these definitions and contributing factors for in-hospital cardiac arrest both within and outside the PICU.

Adherence to pediatric universal cholesterol testing guidelines across body mass index categories: A CER(2) cohort study.
This study asks whether, and to what extent, universal cholesterol testing has been adopted since the 2011 guideline. Findings showed that cholesterol testing by age 12 years increased between 2011 and 2016; children with elevated BMI were more likely to complete testing for all birth cohorts. However, testing among children with normal BMI has become increasingly prevalent, suggesting a shift toward universal cholesterol testing in pediatrics since the 2011 recommendation.
