Current Landscape of Children's Surgery in Africa: A Multicenter Analysis of 16,000 Cases

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
For the first time at this scale, we have assessed the epidemiology and outcomes of pediatric surgical care in LMICs. Findings were consistent with studies on the burden of disease, with a larger proportion of younger children accessing surgery, comparable mortality to other African studies, and higher mortality than in HICs.

Predicting Surfactant Need at Birth: Failed Validation of a Bedside Method Using Gastric Aspirates

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To validate a prototype point‐of‐care (POC) test for the lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio by identifying the optimal L/S cut‐off for predicting surfactant need in preterm infants < 30 weeks' gestation using gastric aspirates (GAS) sampled at birth and to assess clinical feasibility.
