Abstract

Background Although children with special health care needs (CSHCN) represent a minority of the population, they go through more hospitalizations, more admissions to the Emergency Department (ED), and receive a major number of medical prescriptions, in comparison to general pediatric population. Objectives of the study were to determine the reasons for admission to the ED in Italian CSHCN, and to describe the association between patient’s demographic data, clinical history, and health services requirements. Methods Ad hoc web site was created to collect retrospective data of 3479 visits of CSHCN to the ED in 58 Italian Hospitals. Results Seventy-two percent of patients admitted to ED were affected by a previously defined medical condition. Most of the ED admissions were children with syndromic conditions (54%). 44.2% of the ED admissions were registered during the night-time and/or at the weekends. The hospitalization rate was of 45.6% among patients admitted to the ED. The most common reason for admission to the ED was the presence of respiratory symptoms (26.6%), followed by gastrointestinal problems (21.3%) and neurological disorders (18.2%). 51.4% of the access were classified as ‘urgent’, with a red/yellow triage code. Considering the type of ED, 61.9% of the visits were conducted at the Pediatric EDs (PedEDs), 33.5% at the Functional EDs (FunEDs) and 4.6% at the Dedicated EDs (DedEDs). Patients with more complex clinical presentation were more likely to be evaluated at the PedEDs. CSHCN underwent to a higher number of medical procedures at the PedEDs, more in comparison to other EDs. Children with medical devices were directed to a PedED quite exclusively when in need for medical attention. Subjects under multiple anti-epileptic drug therapy attended to PedEDs or FunEDs generally. Patients affected by metabolic diseases were more likely to look for medical attention at FunEDs. Syndromic patients mostly required medical attention at the DedEDs. Conclusions Access of CSHCN to an ED is not infrequent. For this reason, it is fundamental for pediatricians working in any kind of ED to increase their general knowledge about CHSCN and to gain expertise in the management of such patients and their related medical complexity.

Abstract

With the spread of antibiotic resistance in pediatric urinary tract infections (UTIs), more patients are likely to be started empirically on antibiotics to which pathogens are later found to be resistant (discordant therapy). However, in-vivo effectiveness may be different from in-vitro susceptibility. Aims of this study were to describe clinical outcomes of discordant empirical treatments in pediatric UTIs and to investigate risk factors associated to treatment failure. This observational, retrospective study was conducted on children hospitalized for febrile UTIs with positive urine culture and started on discordant empirical therapy. Failure rates of discordant treatments and associated risk factors were investigated. A total of 142/1600 (8.9%) patients were treated with inadequate empirical antibiotics. Clinical failure was observed in 67/142 (47.2%) patients, with no fatal events. Higher failure rates were observed for combinations of penicillin and beta-lactamase inhibitors (57.1%). Significant risk factors for failure of discordant treatment were history of recurrent UTIs (95% CI: 1.13–9.98, OR: 3.23, p < 0.05), recent use of antibiotics (95% CI: 1.46–21.82, OR: 5.02, p < 0.01), infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (95% CI: 1.85–62.10, OR: 7.30, p < 0.05), and empirical treatment with combinations of penicillin and beta-lactamase inhibitors (95% CI: 0.94–4.03, OR: 1.94, p = 0.05). This study showed that discordant empirical treatments may still be effective in more than half of pediatric UTIs. Clinical effectiveness varies between different discordant antibiotics in pediatric UTIs, and patients presenting risk factors for treatment failure may need a differentiated empirical approach.

Abstract

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a common endocrinopathy in children, particularly in females. Clinical overt presentation of hypothyroidism in HT includes mild to very severe forms, characterised by impairment of many body functions and organs, such as heart, brain, muscles, ovaries and liver.we report the case of a 14-year-old girl, with severe hypothyroidism due to a late diagnosis of HT during the Covid-19 pandemic. Routine biochemical and hormonal exams were carried out at presentation. Moderate pericardial effusion was detected by echocardiography and polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) was found on the pelvic ultrasound. Furthermore, high levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH) and hepatic liver enzymes, associated with muscular pseudohypertrophy and bilateral weakness of the lower limbs, were suggestive of a rare presentation of long-standing hypothyroidism defined Kocher-Debre-Semelaigne syndrome (KDSS). Levothyroxine replacement therapy was started immediately, leading to a rapid improvement of symptoms and a progressive normalization of the biochemical parameters. Due to persistent lower limb weakness, further neurological investigations were performed, showing bilateral peripheral polyneuropathy (PNP), ascribable to the longstanding and severe hypothyroidism. A pelvic ultrasound, performed after thyroid hormones had normalised and menses had turned to be regular, showed normal ovarian features supporting the hypothesis of the Van Wyk and Grumbach syndrome in a post-menarcheal girl.although clinical manifestation of hypothyroidism are usually mild, more severe and rare presentations such as ovarian dysfunction and myopathy are possible, particularly if the diagnosis is delayed and replacement therapy is not promptly administered.

Abstract

Background: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is increasing worldwide, mostly because of improved technology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current status of CSII in Italy. Materials and Methods: Physicians from 272 diabetes centers received a questionnaire investigating clinical features, pump technology, and management of patients on CSII. Results: Two hundred seventeen centers (79.8%) joined the study and, by the end of April 2013, gave information about 10,152 patients treated with CSII: 98.2% with type 1 diabetes mellitus, 81.4% adults, 57% female, and 61% with a conventional pump versus 39% with a sensor-augmented pump. CSII advanced functions were used by 68% of patients, and glucose sensors were used 12 days per month on average. Fifty-eight percent of diabetes centers had more than 20 patients on CSII, but there were differences among centers and among regions. The main indication for CSII was poor glucose control. Dropout was mainly due to pump wearability or nonoptimal glycemic control. Twenty-four hour assistance was guaranteed in 81% of centers. A full diabetes team (physician+ nurse + dietician + psychologist) was available in 23% of adult-care diabetes centers and in 53%of pediatric diabetes units. Conclusions: CSII keeps increasing in Italy. More work is needed to ensure uniform treatment strategies throughout the country and to improve pump use.

Abstract

Obesity is a complex public health issue. Recent data indicate the increasing prevalence and severity of obesity in children. Severe obesity is a real chronic condition for the difficulties of long-term clinical treatment, the high drop-out rate, the large burden of health and psychological problems and the high probability of persistence in adulthood. A staged approach for weight management is recommended. The establishment of permanent healthy lifestyle habits aimed at healthy eating, increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior is the first outcome, because of the long-term health benefits of these behaviors. Improvement in medical conditions is also an important sign of long-term health benefits. Rapid weight loss is not pursued, for the implications on growth ad pubertal development and the risk of inducing eating disorders. Children and adolescents with severe obesity should be referred to a pediatric weight management center that has access to a multidisciplinary team with expertise in childhood obesity. This article provides pediatricians a comprehensive and evidence based update on treatment recommendations of severe obesity in children and adolescents.

Abstract

Aim To analyze the prevalence of abdominal adiposity and other traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a large sample of Italian adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods T1DM adolescents ( n =412 age: 17.3±0.9years) were enrolled from 18 clinical centres. Anthropometric and laboratory parameters, blood pressure and data on insulin treatment were registered. Metabolic syndrome (MetSy) was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Results Abdominal obesity was the most common risk factor (20.1%) in females, while hypertension in males (25.1%). MetSy was found in 9.5% patients, predominantly in females. Patients with MetSy exhibited higher insulin requirement per body surface area and higher glycated hemoglobin than patients without MetSy. Overweight/obese patients had a much higher prevalence of MetSy than normal weight patients. The logistic regression analysis showed that just waist-to-height ratio and insulin dose per body surface area contributed to discriminate subjects with the MetSy from those without. Conclusion Adolescence is a critical period in determining risk of future vascular complications in T1DM. Pediatric diabetologists need to be aware of the considerable occurrence of abdominal adiposity and MetSy in T1DM patients, particularly in females, and should make any effort to achieve normal weight and better health outcomes.

Abstract

Aims/hypothesis. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of glucokinase gene mutations in Italian children with MODY and to investigate genotype/phenotype correlations of the mutants. Methods. Screening for sequence variants in the glucokinase gene was performed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and direct sequencing in 132 children with maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and in 9 children with chronic fasting hyperglycaemia but without laboratory evidence for Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and with normoglycaemic parents ("non-classical" MODY). Results. Altogether 54 mutations were identified in the MODY group (54/132 or 41%) and 3 among the "non-classical" MODY individuals (3/9 or 33%). Paternity testing indicated that the latter mutations have arisen de novo. Mean fasting plasma glucose concentrations of the children with the mutant glucokinase was in the expected impaired fasting glucose range. In contrast, results of the oral glucose tolerance test showed a wide range from normal glucose tolerance (Group 1: 2-h OGTT = 6.7 ± 1.1 mmol/l; 11 patients) to diabetes (Group 2: 2-h OGTT = 11.5 ± 0.5 m-mol/l; 9 patients), with the remaining in the impaired glucose tolerance range. Disruptive mutations (i.e. nonsense, frameshifts, splice-site) were equally represented in Groups 1 and 2 and were not clearly associated with an impaired first-phase insulin response. Surprisingly, 5 out of 11 children (or 45 %) in Group 1 were found to be overweight but no children in Group 2 were overweight. Sensitivity index (SI), calculated by a recently described method, was found to be significantly lower in Group 2 than in Group 1 (SI Group 2 = 0.0013 ± 0.0009 ml Kg-1 min-1/μU/ml; SI Group 1 = 0.0068 ± 0.0048, p < 0.0035). Conclusion/interpretation. Mutations in glucokinase are the first cause of MODY among Italian children selected through a low threshold limit of fasting plasma glucose (i. e. > 5.5 mmol). The lack of correlation between the molecular severity of glucokinase mutations, insulin secretion at intravenous glucose tolerance test and differences in glucose tolerance suggests that factors outside the beta cell are also involved in determining post-load glucose concentrations in these subjects. Our results seem to indicate that the differences observed in the 2-h responses at the OGTT among children with MODY 2 could be related to individual differences in insulin sensitivity.

Abstract

Activin A is a dimeric protein composed of two beta A-subunits protein of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family. This protein is synthesized by a variety of organs. A sensitive and specific assay for bioactive dimeric activin A has recently been developed, to measure circulating levels in adult women and men, giving a new insights into the possible physiological role of this protein in the reproductive axis and/or in other functions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate serum dimeric activin A levels in boys and girls during pubertal development. The study was performed on a group of children (n = 54) aged between 6 and 18 years at different Tanner stages. Serum levels of activin A were measured using a specific and sensitive two-site ELISA. Serum activin A levels were not significantly different at various Tanner stages (Tanner I, 0.36 +/- 0.02 ng/ml; Tanner II, 0.33 +/- 0.02 ng/ml; Tanner III, 0.35 +/- 0.03 ng/ml; Tanner IV, 0.41 +/- 0.04 ng/ml; Tanner V, 0.35 +/- 0.05 ng/ml; p0.01). No difference between male and female children was observed. In conclusion, the lack of significant differences in activin A serum levels according to the Tanner stages or to gender demonstrates that this protein is not involved in the endocrine modifications during pubertal development and that its measurement may not provide a sensitive new tool for determining gonadal maturity at puberty.

Abstract

Although referral for evaluation of tall stature is much less common than for short stature, early diagnosis in the paediatric age of clinical pictures leading to tall stature is crucial, both in order to detect conditions which can be properly treated and in order to limit excessive final heights; nowadays tall stature may be cause of psychosocial problems. This paper reviews different items related to tall stature in childhood. First of all, our review focuses on the definition of tall stature and the classification of the main clinical conditions associated with either tallness or excessive growth is discussed. Secondly, the clinical picture and the most recent breakthroughs of each of these conditions are reviewed. A diagnostic flow-chart meant to approach a patient presenting with tall stature is designed according to a few simple parameters such as chronological age, height age, bone age and growth velocity. The novel advances in the understanding of constitutional and secondary tall stature are presented and discussed, together with the hormonal treatment of constitutional tall stature and other related outstanding questions.

Abstract

This article provides current guidelines on the treatment and prevention of childhood obesity. Since factors involved in obesity change with age, the therapeutic approach in pre-school children will be different from pupils and adolescents. The treatment will also be modulated on the basis of weight excess, weight gain velocity and complications. The main goal of the treatment should be to encourage the child and his family to have healthy lifestyle. Families who are not ready for change might benefit from counselling to improve motivation before starting treatment. A detailed alimentary and behavioural history is the start point of the treatment. The strategy of the intervention is to induce changes at three levels: 1) attitudes of parents; 2) physical activity; 3) energy intake. The treatment of the adolescents should take into account the pubertal changes and the psychological aspects of this peculiar period of life. Obesity is a chronic disease and its treatment needs long-life follow-up. The long-term results of the obesity treatment are often disappointing and we have to consider consistent prevention programs for better results.

Abstract

In this paper, the genetics and molecular biology of the GHRH-GH-IGF-I (Growth Hormone Releasing hormone-Growth Hormone-Insulin like Growth Factor I) axis involved in the pathogenesis of short stature are reviewed. Short stature associated with GH deficiency is estimated to occur in about 1/4000-10,000 live births; 3-30% of cases affect first-degree relatives, suggesting a genetic aetiology. Identification of such molecular defects is very recent and dependent on new findings on the physiology of GHRH-GH-IGF-I axis: for example the pituitary-specific transcription factors and their mutations have only been described in the last few years. The epidemiological importance of the identified molecular defect depends on the level of the axis involved, but the prevalence of some of these genetic defects is probably underestimated. Time will tell what the practical relevance of these findings is and what the clinical features of the new mutations are; we will probably learn something more about the GHRH-GH-IGF-I axis: to date, no mutations have been reported regarding the GHRH gene or the IGF-I receptor.

Abstract

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is increasingly being used worldwide, mostly thanks to technical improvements. This study examined the current status of CSII in Italy. Physicians in charge of 272 diabetes centers caring for patients using CSII were sent a questionnaire investigating clinical features, pump technology and management of these patients; a large proportion (217 centers, 79.8%) joined the study. By end-April 2013, data had been collected on 10152 patients treated with CSII; 98.2% had type 1 diabetes, 82.4% were adults, 57% female. Only just over half the centers (59%) managed more than 20 CSII patients each. The distribution of patients varied widely both among and within different regions. The main indication for CSII was the de- sire to improve glycemic control. Dropouts (8.65%) were mainly due to difficulties with pump wearability or non-optimal glycemic control. Among CSII patients 61% used a traditional pump, 39% a sensor augmented pump. Only 68% used the CSII advanced functions and glucose sensors were used twelve days per month on average. Round-the-clock assistance was guaranteed in 81% of centers; a full diabetes team followed patients in only 40% of adult-care centers and 50% of pediatric units. CSII is increasingly used in Italy, by adults and pediatric patients. However, further work is needed to unify treatment strategies throughout the country and to encourage optimal pump use and applications.

Abstract

"Dancing eye syndrome", also called Kinsbourne syndrome or Opsoclonus-Myoclonus-Ataxia Syndrome (OMS) is a rare neurological disorder that in children is frequently associated to occult, low-grade neuroblastoma (NB) (gt;50% of the cases). OMS may also be triggered by infections and it is often associated to developmental impairment and disability.We discuss the case of a 16 months old female with acutely onset of OMS associated to occult stage III NB.OMS represents a diagnostic challenge for pediatric clinicians. The suspect of OMS imposes the search for an occult NB in order to promptly treat a life-threatening event like tumor and to prevent the neurological sequels linked to OMS.

Abstract

The rise in obesity rates is an alarming global health concern. Despite obesity is mainly due to an unbalanced energy intake and expenditure, several recent studies suggest that it could be a consequence of exposure during critical developmental windows to environmental chemicals disrupting endocrine functions. This suggests that a shift is occurring in the human body pathways used to integrate changing nutritional and environmental variables and to maintain metabolic balance and body weight. This review highlights the role of pesticides, in particular endocrine disrupter ones, on obesity pathogenesis in childhood and summarizes the current under-standing of the major environmental influences on pediatric obesity.

Abstract

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is the most frequent cause of secondary obesity, characterized by neonatal hypotonia, dysmorphic facies, acromicria, hypogonadism, stunted growth, obesity, behavioural disturbances and cognitive impairment. Clinical diagnosis is confirmed by alteration of imprinted genes on the proximal long arm of chromosome 15 (15q11-13) for deletion, translocation, uniparental disomy for maternal chromosome 15 or imprinting center defect. Methylation test is the most reliable test for diagnosis. This issue explains diagnostic tests, clinical, metabolic, endocrinological features, and the most frequent complications observed in this syndrome. Precocious diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach allow in these patients to prevent the severe obesity and linked complications.
