In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with rupture (41% vs. 7.40%, p less then 0.001) which remained unchanged over the study period. Hospitalization cost and length of stay was also higher in them. MVP and revascularization led to better survival rates (27.9% vs. 60.6%, adjusted OR 0.14; 95% CI 0.10-0.19; p less then 0.001). Despite significant advancement in the revascularization strategy, PMR/CTR after STEMI continues to portend poor prognosis with high inpatient mortality. Cardiogenic shock is a common presentation and is associated with significantly inpatient mortality. Future studies are needed determine the best strategies to improve outcomes in patients with STEMI with PMR/CTR and CS.

The functional oral intake scale (FOIS), developed for adults based on the categories of consumable food has been adapted for infants. A FOIS for children is necessary as oral motor development continues after 1 year of age. This study proposed a FOIS for children and investigated the reliability and validity of the scale.

We adapted the original FOIS into a scale for children by removing 2 item levels to generate a 5-point scale. This retrospective study included 194 children ages 1 to 7 years. Their nutrition records were evaluated separately by 2 raters using the FOIS for children. Dysphagia and aspiration severity were evaluated based on the findings from a videofluoroscopic swallowing study. For children partially dependent on tube feeding, medical records were investigated to determine whether full oral feeding was accomplished within 1 year.

The inter-rater reliability of FOIS for children had 97.4% agreement (weighted kappa = 0.985, intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.994). Significant associations were identified between the FOIS for children and aspiration severity (P < 0.001, r = 0.315) and dysphagia severity (P < 0.001, r = 0.287). The rate of reaching full oral feeding within 1 year was greater (71.4% vs 30%) in children at the FOIS 3 level (tube and oral feeding in parallel) than for children at FOIS 2 (tube-dependent with minimal oral intake).

The FOIS for children showed adequate reliability and validity and could be appropriate for documenting children's eating abilities and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions.

Low-income racially and ethnically diverse children are at higher risk for obesity compared with their counterparts; yet, few studies have assessed their diet quality.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the diet quality of a racially and ethnically diverse cohort of 2-year-olds using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2010.

We used 24-hour dietary recall data from caregivers of toddlers (24-34 months) at 4 pediatric resident clinics that participated in the Greenlight Study to calculate compliance with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) using total HEI score (range 0-100) and 12 component scores.

Participants (n = 231) were mostly Hispanic (57%) or non-Hispanic black (27%) and from low-income families. VEGFR inhibitor Mean HEI-2010 score was 62.8 (standard deviation [SD] 10.5). Though not significant, Hispanics had the highest HEI score. Toddlers of caregivers without obesity, older than 35 years and born outside the United States had higher HEI scores. Most had high HEI component scores for dairy, fruit, and protein foods, but few achieved maximum scores, particularly for whole grains (13%), vegetables (10%), and fatty acid ratio (7%).

Despite scores reflective of DGA recommendations for fruit, dairy and protein foods, toddlers in this diverse sample had low quality diets as measured by the HEI, driven largely by low component scores for whole grains, vegetables, and ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids.

Complementary feeding should provide a healthy diet with critical nutrients for growth and development. Information is limited on child and infant feeding recommendations within the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region.

The WHO Regional Office for Europe and the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) performed a survey of national recommendations on infant and young child nutrition aimed at national government departments of health and national paediatric experts. Questions addressed national recommendations on breast-feeding and complementary feeding.

Information was available from 48 of the 53 Member States. Forty-five of 48 countries (94%) have national recommendations on infant and young child feeding, of which 41 are endorsed by official public health authorities. Regarding introduction of complementary feeding, 25 countries (out of 34, 74%) recommend 6 months of age as the ideal age. The earliest age of introduction recommended varies from 4y foods might increase anemia risk and adversely affect child development. A review and further harmonization of national recommendations appears desirable.In April 2020, a newly recognized pediatric disorder associated with COVID-19 characterized by significant inflammation with symptoms resembling Kawasaki disease was described by medical teams in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Italy. Before these reports, data from the initial COVID-19 outbreaks in China had not found the virus to cause significant morbidity or mortality in children. To date, pancreatitis has not yet been reported in either acute SARS-CoV-2 infection in children or the subsequent inflammatory syndrome. We describe a patient who presented with acute pancreatitis before rapidly progressing to multisystem organ dysfunction consistent with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children due to COVID-19. Clinicians should be aware that in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, pancreatitis can be an early presentation of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children.
