Derivation and validation of the Pediatric Community‐Acquired Pneumonia Severity (PedCAPS) score: A prospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent and costly cause of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Previous prognostic tools for CAP are limited by small samples, single‐center or retrospective designs, lack of generalizability to ED settings, lack of biomarkers, or limited objective data.

Development and Initial Evaluation of an In‐House Paediatric CT Immobilisation Device

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Paediatric imaging often requires repeat scans due to motion artefacts, increasing radiation exposure and discomfort. This study developed a cost‐effective in‐house CT immobilisation device, which showed comparable image quality to commercial devices but highlighted the need for improvements in stability and infection control.
