The room is set. The slides are up. 25 years of PECARN — the research network that rewrote pediatric emergency medicine — kicks off its anniversary celebration at #SAEM2026. This is what it looks like when science meets practice at scale.

@Curelohealth A good doctor knows how to order a CT. A great doctor knows when it isn’t needed.”
Evidence-based rules + clinical judgment = safer pediatric care. 👶🧠 #PECARN #Pediatrics #EmergencyMedicine #MedTwitter
Predicting @PECARNteam’s next 25 years to include beyond ED scope & implementation efforts #SAEM26 #PECARN
We consider febrile neonates ≤28 days of age. Can we skip the lumbar puncture in low-risk babies? Tune in for this important conversation!

The updated #PECARN rule accurately classified >50% of febrile infants aged 29 to 60 days as low risk for invasive bacterial infection, supporting reduced use of lumbar puncture, antibiotics, and hospitalization. https://t.co/8VVY48feHH
What fluids should we use for initial resuscitation in pediatric #sepsis? #PRoMPTBOLUS sought to answer that question and the results are being revealed in just 10 days!!!
Stop by @PASMeeting Room 210 C West to hear the result debut. Publication to follow.

Head-to-head in the same large PECARN trauma cohort, the #PECARN cervical spine rule outperformed NEXUS and the Canadian C-Spine Rule across the metrics that matter most:
➡️ Sensitivity for clinically significant cervical spine injury: 99%+
➡️ Specificity: significantly higher than NEXUS, which flagged nearly every patient as high risk
➡️ Projected CT rate: less than half of what current practice and the NEXUS criteria would generate
High sensitivity. Better specificity. Far less imaging. That combination is rare.

Adult rules don’t perform the same in kids 👧🏻 ⍯ 👩🏽
In 22k pediatric trauma patients, PECARN’s C-spine rule missed fewer injuries and required less CT imaging than NEXUS or the Canadian C-spine Rule.
Higher sensitivity. Lower radiation exposure.

🚨New in @AcademicEmerMed: Community acceptance of pediatric prehospital emergency research is measurable — and essential.
This #PECARN study evaluates public support for Exception From Informed Consent (EFIC) in EMS trials involving children.
Ethics + evidence must go together.

"The jury is still out for treatment with arginine therapy." — Dr. @claudiarmorris1
The #PECARN STArT trial — a double-blind RCT testing IV arginine for sickle cell pain crises in children and young adults — was stopped early after an interim analysis suggested the primary endpoint was unlikely to be met.
But Dr. Morris isn't ready to close the book on the drug. Here's why 👇 🔗 https://t.co/zC4ZyCwlZ7

Same disease. Same pain crisis. Same type of hospital. One child goes home in 28 hours. Another stays nearly 6 days.
A new secondary analysis from the #PECARN STArT trial — the largest pediatric sickle cell pain crisis trial enrollment to date — found that *where* a child receives care may matter as much as *how sick they are*.
The findings are worth a close read.

New multicenter study in Pediatrics: When #PECARN decision rules are used for pediatric head & abdominal trauma, disparities in CT use largely disappear.
Standardized tools MATTER!

🚨 HOT OFF THE PRESS 🚨@JAMANetwork
The #PECARN febrile infant rule performs exceptionally well in the largest analysis of 0–28-day old febrile infants to date.
👶 If a well-appearing infant has:
• ANC ≤4K/mm³
• PCT ≤0.5 ng/mL
• Normal UA
➡️ 0 cases of bacterial meningitis.
Do we really need to LP all these infants? 🤔
