DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2011.02.031Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is a noninvasive prenatal test (NIPT) that analyzes maternal blood to detect fetal genetic material. Since direct access to the test was available to the pregnant women via commercial companies, there was an increasing number of women using cffDNA for “gender” determination. At the same time, there was also increasing reports about “misdiagnoses.” It was recognized in the medical community that there is a lack of evidence-based methods for validating cffDNA for gender determination, of accuracy of the information provided by Internet-based companies, and of consumer education regarding possible incorrect results and/or disorder of sex development (DSD) detection. This study was designed to systematically review, assess and compare currently available online information about cffDNA as a tool for prenatal diagnosis.
Complications and mortality are frequently measured as surrogate markers for quality of care, which is why resources are heavily mobilized to measure and reduce postoperative complications and mortality. However, there has been accumulating evidence that failure to rescue (FTR) may be a better quality indicator than isolated complications and mortality outcomes. In the pediatric surgical population, FTR has been studied in a limited fashion. This study aims to determine the rate of FTR in the pediatric surgical population and to assess if number and type of serious complications are associated with FTR.
The 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics Urinary Tract Infection (AAP UTI) Guidelines are controversial, particularly related to voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) ordering. Knowledge and adherence to the guidelines may vary by specialty. Among pediatric specialists, the current study aims to evaluate: 1) Attitudes towards the 2011 AAP UTI guidelines, 2) Reported application of the guidelines using a hypothetical clinical scenario.
