Abstract

Purpose of review

The goal of this paper is to describe the complicated and diverse safety risks facing children with medical complexity.

Recent findings

Children with medical complexity have an increased risk of experiencing adverse health outcomes related to multiple comorbidities, the complicated nature of their care, and frequent interactions with the health care system. The safety risks experienced by children with medical complexity are in large part due to the complex nature of their care rather than the specific risks posed by the complicated nature of their illnesses.

Summary

The complicated nature of care for children with medical complexity certainly highlights the risk of harm within our current health care system. These children highlight the vulnerabilities of our fragmented and often inefficient approach to care.

High care needs, intense relationships, uncertainty, and emotional investment are some of the aspects of providing care for children with chronic critical illness that can result in burnout in both families and clinicians. Without support for these caregivers, burnout may lead to a decrease in the quality of care and the availability of caregivers.

This article further demonstrates the CMC are a distinct subgroup within children with special health care needs and that results of studies on the broad groups of CSHCN may not apply to CMC.

Medikamente verändern wohl Nährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch

Einige Medikamente wie selektive Serotonin-Wiederaufnahmehemmer können offenbar die Makronährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch verändern. Das birgt möglicherweise gesundheitliche Risiken für manche gestillte Kinder.

Kann man Gestationsdiabetes mit oralen Antidiabetika behandeln?

Der Wunsch, Frauen mit Gestationsdiabetes eine orale Erstlinientherapie anbieten zu können, bleibt auch vorläufig ein Wunsch: Eine orale Stufentherapie hat sich in einer randomisierten Studie nicht als gleichwertig zu einer Insulintherapie erwiesen. 

Frühwarnzeichen für multiple Sklerose bei Kindern und Jugendlichen

Ein Forschungsteam aus Deutschland und Kanada hat eine Reihe metabolischer, okulärer, muskuloskelettaler, gastrointestinaler und kardiovaskulärer Symptome identifiziert, die bei Kindern und Jugendlichen der Diagnose einer multiplen Sklerose (MS) vorausgehen können.

Harnwegsinfekte: Was taugt die antibiotische Kurzzeittherapie bei Kindern?

In einer aktuellen Metaanalyse wurde untersucht, wie erfolgsversprechend eine verkürzte Antibiotikatherapie bei afebrilen Kindern mit Harnwegsinfekten im Vergleich zur Standardtherapie ist. In gewissen Fällen könnte die Kurzzeittherapie ausreichen.
