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.
Read the article summaryChildren 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.
Read the article summaryHPV 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.
