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?

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.

A point-of-care fingerprick test could spare feverish babies unnecessary antibiotics AND invasive procedures. This 25-centre European trial cut antibiotic use from 38% to 26% and lumbar punctures by 57% — with no drop in safety. Read more: adc.bmj.com/content/111/10/8…

Medical advances mean more children with complex conditions are surviving — but are services resourced for how complex their care has become? Six times more children with life-limiting conditions now have 3+ chronic conditions than in 2003. Read more: adc.bmj.com/content/111/10/9…
