A systematic review of external validity in pediatric integrated primary care trials.
This study used the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework to conduct a systematic review of external validity reporting in integrated primary care (IPC) interventions for mental health concerns. A literature search was conducted to identify relevant literature from 1998 to 2018 reporting on open, randomized or quasi-randomized trials of IPC interventions that targeted child (ages 0-18 years) psychological symptoms. The authors included 39 publications describing 25 studies in the review. Publications rarely reported indicators of external validity, including the representatives of participants (12%), rate of adoption clinics or providers (16%), cost of implementation (8%), or evidence of maintenance (16%). Few studies also included key pragmatic factors such as cost or organizational change processes related to implementation and maintenance.

Suitability of elderly adult hospital readmission rates for profiling readmissions in younger adult and pediatric populations.
Investigators sought to determine the correlation between hospital 30-day risk-standardized readmission rates in elderly adults and those in nonelderly adults and children. Data from U.S. hospitals in the 2013-2014 Nationwide Readmissions Database were used. The researchers found that hospital readmission rates in elderly adults may reflect broader hospital readmission performance in middle-aged and young adult populations, but they are not reflective of hospital performance in pediatric populations.

Research interest in pediatric emergency medicine fellows.
The authors sought to determine the prevalence and determinants of interest in research careers among pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellows. They performed an electronically distributed national survey of current PEM fellows, assessing demographics, barriers to successful research, and beliefs about research using 4-point ordinal scales. The authors found that most fellows expect to devote a minority of their career to clinical research. Enthusiasm about research was strongly correlated with career research interest.
