Objective
Utilize the unique capabilities of a longitudinal design to 1) examine whether burnout is increasing over time among 2 cohorts of pediatricians, and 2) identify factors associated with decreased burnout.Methods
Data from a national longitudinal study, the American Academy of Pediatrics Pediatrician Life and Career Experience Study, were used to examine self-reported burnout over a 5-year period (2012 to 2016) among 2002 to 2004 and 2009 to 2011 residency graduates (N?=?1804). Study participation rates ranged from 94% in 2012 to 85% in 2016. Mixed-effects logistic regression for longitudinal analysis was used to examine burnout over time.Results
In any given year, between 20% and 35% of study pediatricians reported that they were currently experiencing burnout. Significant increases in burnout over time were found for all participants combined and for each subgroup examined. Several factors were associated with reduced burnout. The largest associations with reduced burnout were found for increased flexibility in work schedule (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.22–0.35), decreased work busyness (aOR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.22–0.36), or a job change (aOR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.36–0.65).Conclusions
Following 5 years of participation in a longitudinal study, more than 1 in 3 early- to mid-career pediatricians reported experiencing burnout. This represents a 75% relative increase in burnout from the start of the study. Specific characteristics of pediatricians’ jobs, such as flexible work schedules and busyness of work settings, were most strongly associated with reduced burnout. 相似文献2.

Introduction
Examining the impact of appropriate sleep evaluation on diagnosis of attention deficit disorders can improve the standard of care in pediatrics. This quality improvement project examined current practice and subsequent implementation of a validated standardized sleep evaluation tool in the assessment of children with symptoms of attention deficit.Methods
Retrospective chart review and implementation of the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) for children 6 to 14years old with attention deficit symptoms.Measures
Rates of sleep screening, sleep referrals, diagnosis of sleep and attention deficit disorders, Vanderbilt scores, CSHQ scores.Results
In the retrospective group (n?=?41), 76% of patients had attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, 19.5% had sleeping disorders. There were significant provider differences in diagnosing sleep problems (p?=?.007). In the intervention group (n?=?5), 60% had abnormal CSHQ scores.Discussion
There was considerable incidence of sleeping problems in children with symptoms of attention deficit and provider variation in sleep evaluation and diagnosis, with minimal referral to specialist care. Our findings support a more comprehensive and standardized evaluation of sleep when assessing for attention deficit disorders to improve appropriate referrals, diagnosis, and treatment in pediatrics. 相似文献3.

Background
Burnout is prevalent among pediatric residents, and reducing burnout is a priority for pediatric residency programs. Understanding residents’ personal circumstances, including relationship satisfaction and perceived work-life conflict, may identify novel determinants of burnout.Objectives
To describe intimate partner relationships among pediatric residents and examine associations among relationship satisfaction, work-life factors, and burnout.Methods
We identified 203 partnered residents (married or in a self-identified committed, ongoing relationship) from a cross-sectional survey of 258 residents in 11 New England pediatric programs (response rate 54% of 486 surveys distributed), conducted from April through June of 2013. We analyzed associations among relationship satisfaction, work-life factors, and burnout using multivariable regression. Burnout was measured with the brief Maslach Burnout Inventory, and relationship satisfaction with the validated Relationship Assessment Scale.Results
Burnout was reported by 40.9% of partnered respondents. The vast majority of partnered residents (n?=?167; 85.2%) reported high relationship satisfaction. Lower relationship satisfaction was not associated with burnout. Approximately half of the respondents (n?=?102; 51.5%) reported being satisfied with life as a resident. When controlling for common stressors, such as sleep deprivation, work-life measures associated with burnout included frequent perceived conflicts between personal and professional life (adjusted odds ratio, 4.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.91–9.88) and dissatisfaction with life as a resident (adjusted odds ratio, 11.74; 95% confidence interval, 4.23–32.57).Conclusion
Low relationship satisfaction and common work-life stressors were not associated with burnout among partnered pediatric residents. However, perceived work-life conflict and dissatisfaction with resident life were strongly associated with burnout and are targets for residency programs seeking to ameliorate burnout. 相似文献4.
Objective
Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provide health insurance to 38% of all children in the United States. Uninsured rates continued to fall over the past decade, and citizen children in immigrant families experienced the most dramatic gains. Our objective is to test whether states have managed to close Medicaid enrollment gaps between US citizen children in native and immigrant families.Methods
We use the 2008 to 2015 American Community Surveys to compare uninsured rates for 2.4million Medicaid-eligible citizen children in immigrant and native families. State fixed-effects probit models estimate the probability of children remaining uninsured when eligible for public coverage, excluding children covered by private insurance. We compare the states with the largest enrollment gains across differences in policies relevant to CHIP/Medicaid participation for all children, including CHIP Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) enrollment simplification, Immigrant Children's Health Improvement Act, and Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansion.Results
Most states reduced their enrollment disparities by one half or even completely eliminated their enrollment differentials. However, the states with the largest gains did not adopt ACA and CHIPRA policy options that would have improved CHIP/Medicaid participation for children in their states–or implemented the policies long before the observed gains.Conclusions
Rather than policy anchoring the gains, the improvements may be rooted in operational changes and outreach efforts during CHIPRA and ACA implementation. Absent a policy anchor, the large enrollment differentials of a decade ago may reappear for children in immigrant families, affect the wellbeing of children and their communities. 相似文献5.

Objective
The 5.1million US children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have pronounced needs in education, occupational and speech therapy, and medical and behavioral treatments. Given known associations of ADHD diagnosis with race/ethnicity and parent education, this study aimed to assess how measures of socioeconomic status correlate with both adverse family financial impact of ADHD and disparities in unmet treatment need for ADHD.Methods
Secondary analysis of children ages 8 to 17years whose households participated in the 2014 National Survey of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Tourette Syndrome. Using bivariate testing, we examined associations among measures of socioeconomic status with unmet ADHD treatment need and family financial impact. Logistic regression models estimated the odds of having unmet treatment need, adjusting for demographic factors and family financial impact.Results
Among US school-aged children with a current ADHD diagnosis, 44.3% experienced an adverse family financial impact from ADHD, and 11.6% had unmet need for ADHD treatment. Children with younger age at first ADHD diagnosis were more likely to experience adverse family financial impact. Children from non-English-speaking households were less likely to report unmet need compared to those from primarily English-speaking households. The adjusted odds of unmet need were twice as great among those who reported adverse family financial impact.Conclusion
Deeper understanding of the influence of the household language is important in ADHD needs assessments. Considering overall family financial circumstances may also be pertinent, particularly as children age, because earlier diagnosiswas associated with adverse financial outcomes. These findings could shape future clinic policies for targeting community resources. 相似文献6.
Introduction
Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) have chronic conditions that generally are classified as developmental disabilities. Children with developmental disabilities are at high risk of malnutrition. Gastrostomy buttons are frequently used to provide enteral nutrition for children with developmental disabilities.Objective
This study aimed to understand caregivers’ perceptions regarding gastrostomy button placement for CSHCN.Methods
Caregivers (N?=?257) were recruited from CSHCN peer support groups to complete an online survey regarding perceptions of gastrostomy button placement. Kolmogorov–Smirnov testing found that results were not normally distributed. Nonparametric testing with Spearman rank correlation was used to determine the relationship between Overall Satisfaction With Choice and all other perception variables.Results
The findings suggested overall satisfaction and willingness to accept gastrostomy button placement earlier.Conclusion
Gastrostomy button placement has diverse effects for children with developmental disabilities and their families. Health care professionals must be knowledgeable about the positive and negative outcomes to effectively educate families as they consider gastrostomy placement. 相似文献7.

Introduction
Children with disabilities have significant health care needs, and receipt of care coordinator services may reduce caregiver burdens. The present study assessed caregivers’ experience and satisfaction with care coordination.Method
Caregivers of Medicaid-enrolled children with disabilities (n?=?2,061) completed a survey (online or by telephone) collecting information on the caregivers’ experiences and satisfaction with care coordination using the Family Experiences with Coordination of Care questionnaire.Results
Eighty percent of caregivers with a care coordinator reported receiving help making specialist appointments, and 71% reported help obtaining community services. Caregivers who reported that the care coordinator helped with specialist appointments or was knowledgeable, supportive, and advocating for children had increased odds of satisfaction (odds ratio?=?3.46, 95% confidence interval?=?[1.01, 11.77] and odds ratio?=?1.07, 95% confidence interval?=?[1.03, 1.11], respectively).Discussion
Findings show opportunities for improving care coordination in Medicaid-enrolled children with disabilities and that some specific elements of care coordination may enhance caregiver satisfaction with care. 相似文献8.

Objective
To improve breastfeeding through home visiting.Methods
From 2013 to 2016, the Home Visiting Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (HV CoIIN) enrolled 15 home visiting agencies serving 1000 families in 7 states. Using the Breakthrough Series Collaborative model, HV CoIIN faculty taught a theory of change and continuous quality improvement (CQI) skills, as well as facilitating opportunities for networked learning.Results
HV CoIIN improved home visitors’ breastfeeding competencies and use of data to inform practice. Breastfeeding initiation increased from 47% to 61%. Exclusive breastfeeding of 3-month-old babies increased from 10% to 13.5%, and for babies 6 months old it increased from 5% to 8%.Conclusions
Home visiting programs can improve breastfeeding among participants with very low baseline breastfeeding rates. Continuous quality improvement and the Breakthrough Series Collaborative model can be used to improve home visiting services in ways that advance national public health priorities. 相似文献10.

Introduction
Asthma is underdiagnosed, particularly for children younger than 5 years old. Clinical practice guidelines have been shown to improve asthma diagnosis and management, but are underutilized. This evidence-based practice project aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate a three-page decision support tool (DST) to improve the asthma diagnosis process among children younger than 5 years old.Methods
This project used a pre-experimental design and was conducted in a pediatric primary care setting with a predominantly South Asian population. The authors analyzed the utilization of the DST as well as the end-users' perception of the tool.Results
Despite above-average results in the end-users' usability scale, the DST had poor utilization.Discussion
Implementation of the DST is recommended at similar pediatric primary care sites. The EBP Project team recommends translating the DST to the electronic health record and improving the roles of the champion. 相似文献12.

Objective
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) women with pediatric-onset chronic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF), face disease-specific sexual and reproductive health (SRH) concerns. Using concept mapping (CM), this study aimed to identify the SRH topics and outcomes valued by AYA women with CF and their parents.Methods
Women with CF who were 13 to 30years of age and parents of 13- to 30-year-old daughters with CF participated in an online CM study. Participants individually brainstormed, rated, and sorted SRH topics important for AYA women with CF. Using multidimensional scaling, hierarchical cluster analyses, and t tests to assess rating differences, multidisciplinary stakeholders interpreted results during in-person meetings.Results
Twenty-four participants (13 AYAs and 11 parents) generated 109 statements around SRH in CF; 88% completed rating and sorting. Sixteen stakeholders named 6 main clusters of concepts: fertility and pregnancy, deciding to have children, birth control, navigating life, sex, and gynecologic concerns. Participants rated birth control as highest in importance for adolescent women (mean?=?3.9 ± 0.1 on a 5-point scale) and fertility and pregnancy as highest for young adult women (mean?=?4.2 ± 0.04). Parents provided higher importance ratings for all clusters than patient participants. Stakeholders identified patient-centered outcomes for each cluster and focused on how to improve SRH knowledge, decision making, and patient-provider communication in the subspecialty setting.Conclusions
Eliciting patient-centered outcomes using CM can inform improvements in the care of AYAs with pediatric-onset chronic diseases. The SRH topics and patient-centered outcomes identified in this study should inform enhancements to comprehensive clinical care delivery for these populations. 相似文献13.

Objective
This study evaluates the impact of a coordinated effort by an urban pediatric hospital and its associated accountable care organization to reduce asthma-related emergency department (ED) and inpatient utilization by a large, countywide Medicaid patient population.Methods
Multiple evidence-based interventions targeting general pediatric asthma care and high health care utilizers were implemented using standardized quality improvement methodologies. Annual asthma ED and inpatient utilization rates by 2- to 18-year-old members of an accountable care organization living in the surrounding county (>140,000 eligible members in 2016), adjusted per 1000 children from 2008 through 2016, were analyzed using Poisson regression. We compared these ED utilization rates to national rates from 2006 to 2014.Results
Asthma ED utilization fell from 18.1 to 12.9 visits/1000 children from 2008 to 2016, representing a 28.7% reduction, with an average annual decrease of 3.9% (P < .001), during a time when national utilization was increasing. Asthma inpatient utilization did not change significantly during the study period.Conclusions
Asthma-related ED utilization was significantly reduced in a large population of primarily urban, minority, Medicaid-insured children by implementing a multimodal asthma quality improvement program. With adequate support, a similar approach could be successful in other communities. 相似文献14.

Objective
To examine insurance-based disparities in provider-related barriers to care among children in California in the wake of changes to the insurance market resulting from the Affordable Care Act.Methods
Our sample included 6514 children (ages 0 to 11 years) from the 2014–2016 California Health Interview Survey. We examined parent reports in the past year of 1) having trouble finding a general provider for the child, 2) the child not being accepted by a provider as a new patient, 3) the child's health insurance not being accepted by a provider, or 4) any of the above. Multivariable models estimated the associations of insurance type—Medi-Cal (Medicaid), employer-sponsored insurance, or privately purchased coverage—and parent reports of these problems.Results
Approximately 8% of parents had encountered at least one of these problems. Compared with parents of children with employer-sponsored insurance, parents of children with Medi-Cal or privately purchased coverage had over twice the odds of experiencing at least one of the barriers. Parents of children with Medi-Cal had over twice the odds of being told a provider would not accept their children's coverage or having trouble finding a general provider and 3times the odds of being told a provider would not accept their children as new patients. Parents of children with privately purchased coverage had over 3times the odds of being told a provider would not accept their children's coverage.Conclusions
Our study found significant disparities in provider-related barriers by insurance type among children in California. 相似文献16.

Background
Neonatal tracheal intubation (NTI) is an important clinical skill. Suboptimal performance is associated with patient harm. Simulation training can improve NTI performance. Improving performance requires an objective assessment of competency. Competency assessment tools need strong evidence of validity. We hypothesized that an NTI competency assessment tool with multisource validity evidence could be developed and be used for formative and summative assessment during simulation-based training.Methods
An NTI assessment tool was developed based on a literature review. The tool was refined through 2 rounds of a modified Delphi process involving 12 subject-matter experts. The final tool included a 22-item checklist, a global skills assessment, and an entrustable professional activity (EPA) level. The validity of the checklist was assessed by having 4 blinded reviewers score 23 videos of health care providers intubating a neonatal simulator.Results
The checklist items had good internal consistency (overall α?=?0.79). Checklist scores were greater for providers at greater training levels and with more NTI experience. Checklist scores correlated with global skills assessment (ρ?=?0.85; P < .05), EPA levels (ρ?=?0.87; P < .05), percent glottic exposure (r?=?0.59; P < .05), and Cormack-Lehane scores (ρ?=?0.95; P < .05). Checklist scores reliably predicted EPA levels.Conclusions
We developed an NTI competency assessment tool with multisource validity evidence. The tool was able to discriminate NTI performance based on experience. The tool can be used during simulation-based NTI training to provide formative and summative assessment and can aid with entrustment decisions. 相似文献17.

Objective
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a high prevalence of co-occurring medical conditions, including speech, sleep, and gastrointestinal disorders (constipation and feeding difficulties); developmental delay; attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder; hypotonia; epilepsy; anxiety; disruptive behavior; pica; and eczema. Less is known about whether these commonly coexist in the same children. We sought to determine clinically meaningful, statistically significant associations among co-occurring medical conditions in children with ASD that could lead to better understanding, identification, and treatment of these disorders.Methods
We studied 2114 children with ASD aged 17 months to 5years and 1221 children aged 6 to 17years at 15 Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network Registry sites. Clinician-reported diagnoses and problems were grouped into 12 core conditions. We determined the observed prevalence (O) of co-occurring conditions and the estimated expected prevalence (E) across the network, adjusting for sitevariability in the prevalence of individual conditions. Pvalues were calculated using a Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel test stratified by site. We identified pairs of conditions co-occurring more frequently than expected (O/E >1) and less frequently than expected (O/E <1) and highlighted statisticallysignificant differences.Results
Among the 66 condition pairs for each age group, we confirmed previously identified associations, such as sleep disorders and anxiety symptoms, in older children. We found some associations not previously described, including feeding with sleep disorders (younger children only), constipation with sleep disorders, feeding with speech disorders, and constipation with speech disorders.Conclusions
We have identified new associations among co-occurring medical conditions in children with ASD, offering the potential to examine common pathways. 相似文献18.

Objectives
Practicing Safety is an American Academy of Pediatrics toolkit to help practices address child abuse and neglect (CAN) risk by increasing screening and providing resources. The objectives in an urban practice serving low-income children were to 1) standardize CAN risk assessment and developmental screening, and 2) improve resource provision.Methods
A quality improvement initiative to standardize CAN risk assessment, using materials adapted from Practicing Safety, was conducted through the use of SmartTools in an electronic health record. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and Parents Evaluation of Developmental Status were used to assess maternal depression and child development, respectively. Charts were reviewed in waves—pre-, immediate post-, and early post-implementation (waves 1 to 3); monthly for 6 months (waves 4 to 9); and quarterly for 12 months (waves 10 to 13)—to assess screening and resource provision for 6 domains: infant crying, maternal depression, development, discipline, temper tantrums, and toilet training.Results
A total of 581 charts were reviewed (92, 95, and 94 for waves 1 to 3, respectively; 30 each for waves 4 to 13). Screening for infant crying, maternal depression, development, and discipline rose from 0% pre-implementation to over 50% post-implementation. Screening for temper tantrums and toilet training rose from 6% to 72% and from 36% to 82%, respectively. For all measures, resource provision improved over time, and all improvements were maintained for 1.5 years post-implementation.Conclusions
Incorporating an adapted version of Practicing Safety into an electronic health record is a practical and effective approach to improving CAN risk assessment and resource provision. This quality improvement initiative is an example of a practice-wide improvement that resulted in clinical practice change. 相似文献19.

Objective
To identify opportunities to improve care value for children with disabilities (CWD), we examined CWD prevalence within a commercially insured population and compared outpatient care quality and annual health plan spending levels for CWD relative to children with complex medical conditions without disabilities; children with chronic conditions that are not complex; and children without disabling, complex, or chronic conditions.Methods
This cross-sectional study comprised 1,118,081 person-years of Blue Cross Blue Shield Massachusetts data for beneficiaries aged 1 to 19years old during 2008 to 2012. We combined the newly developed and validated Children with Disabilities Algorithm with the Pediatric Medical Complexity Algorithm to identify CWD and non-CWD subgroups. We used 14 validated or National Quality Forum–endorsed measures to assess outpatient care quality and paid claims to examine annual plan spending levels and components.Results
CWD constituted 4.5% of all enrollees. Care quality for CWD was between 11% and 59% for 8 of 14 quality measures and >80% for the 6 remaining measures and was generally comparable to that for non-CWD subgroups. Annual plan spending among CWD was a median and mean 23% and 53% higher than that for children with complex medical conditions without disabilities, respectively; CWD mean and median values were higher than for all other groups as well.Conclusions
CWD were prevalent in our commercially insured population. CWD experienced suboptimal levels of care, but those levels were comparable to non-CWD groups. Improving the care value for CWD involves a deeper understanding of what higher spending delivers and additional aspects of care quality. 相似文献20.
