Development and Testing of a Pediatric Cervical Spine Injury Risk Assessment Tool

Cervical spine injuries (CSI) are serious, but rare events in children. Spinal precautions (rigid cervical collar and immobilization on a longboard) in the prehospital setting may be beneficial for children with CSI, but are poorly studied. In contrast, spinal precautions for pediatric trauma patients without CSI are common and may …

Biospecimen Collection to Identify Gene Mutations for High Risk Pancreatic Cancer in Pediatric Patients, INSPPIRE 2 Study

This clinical trial collects blood, saliva, urine, or stool samples to help identify possible genetic mutations that may increase a person's chance at developing pancreatic cancer. Finding genetic markers among pediatric patients with acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis may help identify patients who are at risk of pancreatic cancer.

Novel Sepsis Sub-phenotypes Based on Trajectories of Vital Signs

Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection resulting in organ dysfunction. Over the past three decades, more than 30 pharmacological therapies have been tested in >100 clinical trials and have failed to show consistent benefit in the overall population of patients with sepsis. The one-size-fits-all approach has not worked. …
