The Section on Pediatric Trainees (SOPT) is seeking a new deputy editor to serve on the board of the SOPT Feature in Pediatrics. The new deputy editor will serve on the board for a term of 3 years. Editors of the SOPT Monthly Feature are responsible for reviewing and revising manuscripts, managing submissions and publicity for the annual advocacy essay competition, and leading the annual workshop at the AAP National Conference and Exhibition. Pediatric residents, fellows, and fourth-year medical students who are applying into pediatrics are eligible to apply, provided they will remain a trainee for at least half of their term on the editorial board. Prior editorial experience is appreciated but not required. Deadline for submitting applications is October 26th, 2026. Apply here. https://bit.ly/4rMhuSb

In a national longitudinal sample of 2,353 pediatricians surveyed from 2021 to 2025, burnout, emotional exhaustion, cynicism or disconnection, and feelings of ineffective work declined significantly overall and across nearly all subgroups. Reduced burnout was associated with changing jobs, greater schedule flexibility, and lower workplace busyness; increased colleague support, more sleep, and more time with patients were also linked to less current burnout and emotional exhaustion. These findings suggest that modifiable workplace conditions may help sustain improvements in pediatrician well-being. https://bit.ly/4rNxVxA

Families with children who rely on Affordable Care Act Marketplace coverage could face substantial premium increases following the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits (PTCs), according to a simulation using 2023 National Survey of Children’s Health data. Full repeal would impose especially large and regressive burdens on lower-income families, whose children already experience greater material hardship, more health conditions, and poorer access to care. The findings support restoring enhanced PTCs and avoiding repeal to preserve affordable coverage for families. Read the commentary from David Keller, MD, and Keila N. Lopez, MD, MPH. https://bit.ly/4hp3MB0

Most children hospitalized for acute hematogenous osteomyelitis or acute bacterial arthritis receive empiric MRSA therapy, despite relatively low rates of confirmed MRSA in these infections. Using Pediatric Health Information System data from 46 hospitals from 2015 through 2024, this study found that 17% of children with pathogen-specific coding had MRSA, while 58% of children without identified MRSA still received empiric MRSA coverage. Because hospital-wide MRSA rates were consistently higher than MRSA rates for osteoarticular infections, the authors suggest that condition-specific antibiograms could help guide more targeted empiric therapy. https://bit.ly/4j0P9VO

The authors of this study compared perinatal and neurodevelopmental outcomes between very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants conceived by assisted reproductive technology (ART) and infants conceived spontaneously. Primary outcomes studied were survival to hospital discharge and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 2 years’ corrected age. They found that VLBW preterm infants conceived by ART had an adjusted risk of NDI comparable to that of spontaneously conceived infants. Learn more by reading the full study. https://bit.ly/4rpQ8Ro

A multidisciplinary quality improvement initiative in a tertiary NICU improved neonatal tracheal intubation first-attempt success by implementing video laryngoscopy as the primary device and standardizing oxygenation during laryngoscopy with nasal high flow. Across 642 intubations, first-attempt success increased from a baseline of 45% to a sustained process mean of 61%, exceeding the project aim, while video laryngoscopy use rose to 70% to 90% during the sustainability phase. Improvements were seen across clinician types and locations, including infants weighing less than 1000 g, supporting the durability of this safety-focused approach. https://bit.ly/4722ndE

Previous evidence demonstrated that participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) needed more fruits and vegetables, leading WIC to increase its cash-value benefit (CVB) for fruits and vegetables in 2021. Using administrative data on more than 4 million transactions from a near-census of Massachusetts WIC-participating households with young children (2017–2022), the authors found that the increased CVB was associated with large increases in redemption. Learn more about how the need for fruits and vegetables was addressed by reading the full study. https://bit.ly/3UY5mBc

In a randomized controlled trial of 499 children aged 21 to 42 months, 211LA care coordination improved service enrollment but did not produce measurable developmental or behavioral outcome differences at 24 months compared with usual care. The authors note that baseline imbalances, greater representation of historically underrepresented families in the intervention group, service differences such as more telehealth and shorter duration, assessment limitations, and disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic may have limited the trial’s ability to detect developmental benefits despite gains in connecting families to services. https://bit.ly/46Ejv9i

How does looking at a picture book compare to watching a video at bedtime? This study measured melatonin concentration in saliva samples before and after exposure and monitored sleep-wake patterns via actigraphy in a group of toddlers. Contrary to expectations, the results suggest that viewing a 15-minute video on a touchscreen within an hour of bedtime is insufficient to suppress evening melatonin release. Learn more about the surprising results by reading the open access study. https://bit.ly/4xGFnMg

Parents of extremely preterm infants face substantial mental health risks during the NICU stay, with posttraumatic stress symptoms peaking near term-equivalent age and depressive symptoms peaking early for mothers and later for fathers. In this Dutch national prospective cohort, prenatal psychosocial history and NICU-related parental stress were important contributors for both parents, underscoring the need for clinicians to screen and support mothers and fathers throughout hospitalization and connect high-risk families with early mental health interventions. https://bit.ly/4xEmCcd
