Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular comorbidities of juvenile dermatomyositis in US children: an analysis of the National Inpatient Sample.
Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is associated with multiple potential risk factors for cardiovascular disease, however, little is known about cardiovascular risk in JDM. This study sought to examine the association between JDM and cardiovascular risk factors and disease in US children. It concluded that there are significantly higher odds of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular comorbidities among inpatients with JDM, with adolescents, girls and racial/ethnic minorities being at highest risk.

Cardiac arrest survival in pediatric and general emergency departments.
Understanding whether pediatric emergency departments (EDs) have higher survival than general EDs may help identify ways to improve care for all patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Researchers sought to determine if OHCA survival differs between pediatric and general EDs. In their nationally representative sample, survival from nontraumatic OHCA was higher in pediatric EDs than general EDs. Survival did not differ in traumatic OHCA.
