Clinical Pearls in Pediatrics

Having 2 or more siblings with autism spectrum disorder doubles the risk of ASD in younger children
Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are more susceptible to dental caries due to reduced salivary flow rate
Boys, but not girls, who are born post-term are at greater risk of adolescent obesity due to accelerated weight gain during childhood

Highlights in Pediatrics

Elevated BMI associated with lower extremity fractures in children

As published in Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research, elevated BMI is associated with fractures of the foot, ankle, knee, and leg (but not femur or hip) in children. In overweight, moderately obese, and extremely obese children, the ORs for fractures of the foot were 1.14, 1.23, and 1.42, respectively; fractures of the ankle, knee, and leg were 1.27, 1.28, and 1.51, respectively. Children 6-11 years of age were at highest risk.

Children with ?-thalassemia major at risk for premature atherosclerosis

As published in the Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, children with ?-thalassemia major (n=31; age range, 4-16 y) exhibit laboratory and ultrasound evidence of premature atherosclerosis. Specifically, total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, and nitrate/nitrite levels were decreased, and VLDL-C levels, chitotroisidase activity, and carotid IMT were increased in affected children.

HPV vaccination is not associated with increased sexual activity in adolescents

As published in Pediatrics, adolescent girls (11-12 years of age) vaccinated with HPV were not shown to have increased sexual activity over 3 years of follow-up compared to non-vaccinated girls (adjusted incidence rate ratio = 1.29). Sexual activity was assessed based on pregnancy, STD testing or diagnosis, and contraceptive counseling.
