🧠 MRI is often obtained in the acute setting in children with severe TBI, but a simple scoring system informing outcomes has been missing. New research proposes a system that incorporates injury depth and ischemia.

📊 JAMA Guide to Statistics and Methods: #RegressionDiscontinuity approaches can help estimate causal effects in #ObservationalStudies when treatment depends on whether a patient measurement crosses a prespecified threshold.

These methods are most informative when patients just above and below the cutoff are comparable, which can reduce confounding from measured and unmeasured characteristics.

Lumbar puncture is one of the most common yet potentially challenging procedures. This article reviews current evidence in outcomes between preprocedural point-of-care ultrasound versus conventional landmark technique.

Could individualized intracranial pressure thresholds improve TBI care? A multicenter CAHR-TBI study validated a novel algorithm for continuously deriving patient-specific ICP thresholds, with findings suggesting improved prognostic performance compared with standard ICP management approaches. https://t.co/j15YAr25BJ

🌡️ New research has developed and validated temperature trajectory-based phenotypes of pediatric sepsis. The “hypothermic” trajectory-based phenotype was independently associated with worse clinical outcomes.

@yoncabulutmd @PALISInet @PICJournalWatch @OfHepatology @liver4kids @gastroendonews Useful synthesis. In the Atlanta cohort (Pediatr Transplant 2024), kids extubated in the OR were older, with lower PELD and less transfusion. Did the 12 studies adjust for severity, or is lower mortality partly telling us who was well enough to extubate early?

@PICJournalWatch @PRESSURE__study @DrToyinOcholi @OsamaHosheh @PedCritCareMed @JAMA_current @ResusJournal For learners navigating this range of topics, I’d make a “question-to-paper” map: choose one clinical uncertainty, then explain which study design could answer it before selecting a paper. A one-line clinical question beside each collection entry would be a useful teaching aid.

⁉️When to extubate after a child receives a liver transplantation?

⚡️Our meta-analysis of 12 studies found
immediate extubation associated with lower reintubation, mortality, and shorter length of stay.
