Although the American Council for Graduate Medical Education offers some guidance on the inclusion of pediatric topics in an emergency medicine (EM) residency curriculum, it does not specifically address adolescent-related competencies. We aimed to develop a consensus on which adolescent health topics are most important to cover in a didactic curriculum for EM residents.Methods: Physicians from multiple specialties, such as EM, pediatric EM, and adolescent medicine, were invited as panelists in a modified Delphi process. In round 1, the panelists were asked to determine which competencies in adolescent medicine are most important for a graduating EM resident to master. In round 2, they were asked to specify the competencies that should be included in an EM residency didactic curriculum. In round 3, they prioritized the most critical competencies for curriculum inclusion.Results: Consensus was reached on a total of 26 topics that were found crucial to be included in a didactic curriculum for EM residents. Of these, the panel prioritized the following: (1) “manage a patient presenting after reported sexual assault,” (2) “accurately diagnose ovarian torsion,” and (3) “manage a patient presenting for symptoms of sexually transmitted infection.” Conclusion: The modified Delphi process yielded recommendations to guide the development of an adolescent medicine curriculum for EM residents. Sexual and reproductive healthcare issues were identified as the most important topics.","PeriodicalId":151011,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Emergency Medicine Journal","volume":"3 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An inter-seasonal surge in the LRTI has occurred after relaxation of restrictions. We aimed to compare characteristics and disease severity of children with LRTI before, during, and after COVID-19 lockdown. Methods: All LRTI-related visits to emergency department (ED) of a large pediatric hospital in the Netherlands between 2019 and 2021 were included. Variables were compared between 2019 and 2020, and between 2019 and 2021, respectively. The variables included demographic characteristics, condition upon ED arrival, diagnosis, applied treatment, and follow-up.Results: In 2019, 2020, and 2021, numbers of the visits were 573, 280, and 519, respectively, comprising the study population (n = 1,372). In 2020, the patients were older, and showed higher frequencies of preterm birth history, co-occurring symptoms of obstructive lung disease, and salbutamol therapy in the ED, than in 2019. In 2021, the patients were younger, showed higher frequencies of desaturation, bronchiolitis, co-occurring symptoms of obstructive lung disease, salbutamol therapy, and hospitalization, and showed lower frequencies of respiratory ED visits or hospitalization in the past year, and antibiotic therapy. During hospitalization in 2020, the patients were older, and showed shorter duration of oxygen support and length of hospital stay, as well as lower frequencies of nasogastric tube insertion, compared to 2019. In 2021, compared to 2019, the patients showed a higher frequency of bronchiolitis and lower frequencies of underlying medical conditions and antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: The children presenting with LRTIs in 2021 seem to have had a more severe clinical phenotype, possibly explained by immunity debt after the COVID-19 lockdown, stricter referral policy, or changes in healthcare-seeking behavior. Future research is needed to evaluate the long-term consequences of growing up during the lockdown.","PeriodicalId":151011,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Emergency Medicine Journal","volume":"8 42","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139591301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
