Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of an individualized analgesia protocol on the need for medical interventions after adenotonsillectomy in children: a randomized controlled trial.
It has been proposed that the dose of rescue opioids should be individually titrated to the severity of obstructive sleep apnea after adenotonsillectomy. However, a sleep study is not always available before adenotonsillectomy. This randomized, controlled and blinded trial evaluated a strategy of pain control individualized to the results of a fentanyl test, rather than the results of polysomnography, in children after adenotonsillectomy. ⋯ Compared with a conservative dosing approach, this individualized protocol may improve analgesia without a significant increase in respiratory adverse events.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEfficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose compared with oral iron for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in women after childbirth in Tanzania: a parallel-group, open-label, randomised controlled phase 3 trial.
Iron deficiency anaemia is of major concern in low-income settings, especially for women of childbearing age. Oral iron substitution efficacy is limited by poor compliance and iron depletion severity. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose versus oral iron substitution following childbirth in women with iron deficiency anaemia in Tanzania. ⋯ Vifor Pharma, R Geigy-Stiftung, Freiwillige Akademische Gesellschaft, and Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Prenatal Tobacco Exposure and Childhood Neurodevelopment among Infants Born Prematurely.
Nicotine is an established neuroteratogen, and prenatal tobacco exposure alters the structure of the developing nervous system. An association between prenatal tobacco exposure and impaired neurologic function is less well established. We examine the association between prenatal tobacco exposure and childhood neurodevelopment among infants born preterm. ⋯ · Tobacco exposure is not associated with impaired neurodevelopment in this preterm population.. · Prenatal tobacco exposure is associated with increased need for corrective lenses.. · Tobacco use in pregnancy may be a risk factor for poorer visual acuity in children..

Effect of phytosterol capsule supplementation associated with the National Cholesterol Education Program Step 2 diet on low-density lipoprotein in children and adolescents with dyslipidemia: A double-blind crossover trial.
To evaluate the effect of phytosterol capsule supplementation associated with the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Step 2 diet on LDL-C levels in children and adolescents with dyslipidemia. ⋯ Daily phytosterol capsules supplementation associated with the NCEP Step 2 diet did not reduce LDL-cholesterol concentrations in children and adolescents with dyslipidemia.

The Effect of Cartoon Watching and Distraction Card on Physiologic Parameters and Fear Levels During Inhalation Therapy in Children: A Randomized Controlled Study.
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled study to investigate the effect of cartoon watching and distraction cards on physiologic parameters and fear levels in children with acute bronchitis in the emergency department. ⋯ It was observed that watching cartoons during inhalation therapy was more effective in reducing the level of fear in children that distraction card.
