Multicenter Study
Childhood obesity and survival after in-hospital pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
We hypothesized that childhood obesity would be associated with decreased likelihood of survival to hospital discharge after in-hospital, pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). ⋯ Childhood obesity is associated with a lower rate of survival to hospital discharge after in-hospital, pediatric CPR.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Interpreters: telephonic, in-person interpretation and bilingual providers.
Language barriers affect health care interactions. Large, randomized studies of the relative efficacy of interpreter modalities have not been conducted. ⋯ Both telephonic and in-person interpretation resulted in similar concordance in understanding of discharge diagnosis compared with bilingual providers. In general, noninferiority was also seen on qualitative measures, although there was a trend favoring telephonic over in-person interpretation.
