A recent study in Pediatrics comparing RSV and HMPV in children found that RSV tends to hospitalize younger kids, while HMPV hospitalizations are more common in older children with underlying health issues. The study also indicates that RSV also leads to higher odds of hospitalization, especially in infants under 6 months. These findings highlight important differences in risk and severity between the two viruses. https://bit.ly/4msNvez

A new article in Pediatrics highlights that while most U.S. hospice organizations now provide concurrent care for children, as required by the Affordable Care Act, there are still significant barriers, including confusing policies and inconsistent reimbursement models. The authors of this article stress the need for clearer guidance and stronger advocacy to ensure children and families benefit fully from these essential services, especially as the ACA and Medicaid funding face uncertainty. https://bit.ly/4oH2F13

Spanish-speaking patients are at risk of receiving unequal care at hospital discharge, but a recent quality improvement initiative increased the percentage of these patients receiving translated discharge documents from 65.5% to 88% without affecting their length of stay. Future studies should focus on automaticity within the EMR to increase reliability. Read the latest article in Hospital Pediatrics: https://bit.ly/4mdDYb1

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania reported significant disparities in the uptake of Nirsevimab, an RSV antibody, among over 7,000 infants across 32 East Coast pediatric practices during the 2023–2024 season. Despite automated clinical reminders, only 35% of eligible children received the immunization, with higher uptake seen among those who were privately insured, lived in resource-rich neighborhoods, or were white and non-Hispanic/Latino, indicating the continued need for proactive efforts to ensure equitable access. https://bit.ly/3IPjzKE

Low-income youth with eating disorders often struggle to get the care they need after leaving the hospital, leading to repeated and costly hospital stays. Recent research shows that even a modest amount of outpatient therapy within 90 days can make a big difference, reducing both rehospitalization rates and expenses. However, many youths received no therapy posthospitalization, highlighting urgent unmet treatment needs. https://bit.ly/40IN0nM
