    PEDIATRICIANS AFTER RESIDENCY: A SURVEY OF PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL DATA AND ISSUES
    (2021) SILVA, Clovis Artur; TRINDADE, Vitor Cavalcanti; ABEL, Roberta Capretz D’Oliveira; SILVA, Marcelo Oliveira; SANTOS, João Fernando Vecchi; KOCH, Vera Hermina Kalika; FERRER, Ana Paula Scoleze; BRENTANI, Alexandra; ODONE-FILHO, Vicente; TANNURI, Uenis; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; GRISI, Sandra Josefina Ferraz Ellero
    ABSTRACT Objective: To assess personal, professional, medical, and scientific educational characteristics and issues reported by pediatricians. Methods: Cross-sectional study based on an online survey including 614 pediatricians who graduated in the last 15 years at a University Pediatric Department in Brazil. Results: The response rate was 331/614(54%). The majority were females (82%), the median age was 33 years (27-40) and median years of pediatric practice was 5 (1-13). High workload (>60 hours/week) occurred in 25% and 47% earned ≥15 minimum wages/month. The most work-related issues reported were long working hours, poor social life and a sedentary lifestyle (>50%). Pediatricians were further divided into two groups, according to years of pediatric clinical practice: group 1 (≤5 years) and group 2 (>5 years). The median of overall satisfaction with pediatric residency [8(0-10) vs. 9 (4-10); p=0.002] was significantly reduced in group 1. The frequencies of workload >60 hours, work on pediatric ward and pediatric intensive care were significantly higher in the first group (p<0.05). Regarding main issues related to clinical practice in the last year, long working hours (73 vs. 53%; p<0.001), poor social life (75 vs. 62%; p=0.018) and harassment (23 vs. 4%; p=0.003) were significantly higher in the first group. Conclusions: Very early career pediatricians (≤5 years) reported higher workload, lower income, work-related issues and different location of pediatric practice compared to early career pediatricians (>5 years). The overall satisfaction with pediatric residency was good, however, reduced in very early career pediatricians.

    Neonatal infection and passive acquisition of serum total IgG and reactive with ""Streptococcus"" B, anti-LPS of ""Klebsiella spp"" and ""Pseudomonas spp"" antibodies in twins
    (2020) YOSHIDA, Renato de Arauio Monteiro; PALMEIRA, Patricia; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; BRIZOT, Maria de Lourdes; CARVALHO, Erther Brunow de; KREBS, Vera Lucia Jornada
    OBJECTIVE: To describe the concentration of total and specific IgG antibodies anti-Streptococcus B, anti-lipopolysaccharide of Klebsiella spp, and anti-lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas spp in the umbilical cord of newborn(NB) twins and to analyze the association between neonatal infection and antibody concentration in the umbilical cord blood. METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional study of a cohort of NB twins admitted during the period of 20 months. Patients with malformations and mothers with infection were excluded. Variables analyzed: gestational age(GA); birth weight(BW); antibody concentrations in umbilical cord blood; infection episodes. We used the paired Student t-test, Spearman correlation, and generalized estimation equation. RESULTS: 57 pairs of twins were included, 4 excluded, making the sample of 110 newborns. GA=36 +/- 1.65weeks and BW=2304.8 +/- 460g(mean +/- SD). Antibody concentrations in twins(mean +/- SD): total IgG=835.77 +/- 190.73mg/dL, anti-StreptococcusB IgG=250.66 +/- 295.1 AU/mL, anti-lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas spp IgG=280.04 +/- 498.66 AU/mL and anti-lipopolysaccharide of Klebsiella spp IgG=504.75 +/- 933.93 AU/mL. There was a positive correlation between maternal antibody levels and those observed in newborns(p <0.005). The transplacental transfer of maternal total IgG and anti-LPS Pseudomonas IgG antibodies was significantly lower at NB GA <34 weeks(p <0.05). Five newborns were diagnosed with an infection. Infants with infection had significantly lower total IgG concentration(p <0.05). CONCLUSION: This study showed a positive correlation between maternal and newborn antibodies levels. In infants younger than 34 weeks there is less transfer of total IgG and anti-LPS Pseudomonas IgG. The highest incidence of infection in the newborn group who had significantly lower total IgG serum antibodies reinforces the importance of anti-infectious protection afforded by passive immunity transferred from the mother.

    Monocyte-to-HDL ratio and non-HDL cholesterol were predictors of septic shock in newborns
    (2022) FONSECA, Fernanda Andrade Macaferri da da; ESPOSITO, Aline Paulino; SILVA, Maria Helena Baptista Nunes da; NUNES, Valeria Sutti; CAZITA, Patricia Miralda; FERREIRA, Guilherme Silva; CECCON, Maria Esther Jurfest Rivero; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; PALMEIRA, Patricia
    Background: The association between lipoprotein levels and late-onset neonatal sepsis has shown controversial results. The aims are to assess lipid profile, cytokines, and Monocyte-to-HDL (M/H) ratio as diagnostic and prog-nostic markers for late-onset neonatal sepsis.Methods: This prospective study included 49 septic neonates and 17 controls. Cholesterol (CT), Triglyceride (TG), Very-Low-Density (VLDLc), Low-Density (LDLc), and High-Density Lipoproteins (HDLc) were measured at admis-sion (D0) and on days 3, 7 and 10 to evaluate septic shock outcomes. Cytokines and monocytes were evaluated by flow cytometry.Results: Septic newborns showed higher IL-6 and IL-8 at D0 and CT levels on D7 and on D10, which also presented higher TG, VLDLc and non-HDL cholesterol concentrations than controls. The septic shock group (n = 22) revealed a higher number of male subjects, CRP, IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 levels, while lower TG, HDLc, monocyte numbers and M/H ratio at admission compared to the non-shock group (n = 27). M/H ratio and non-HDL choles-terol on D0 were risk factors for septic shock (OR = 0.70, 0.49-0.99; OR = 0.96, 0.92-0.99, respectively). Decreasing levels from D0 to D3 of CT (OR = 0.96, 0.93-0.99), VLDLc (OR = 0.91, 0.85-0.98), and non-HDL cholesterol (OR = 0.92, 0.87-0.98) were also predictors of septic shock.Conclusions: Lower M/H ratios and non-HDL cholesterol at admission and decreasing levels of cholesterol, VLDLc and non-HDL cholesterol during a hospital stay are associated with the development of septic shock in newborns with late-onset neonatal sepsis.

    The Heart of Pediatric Patients with COVID-19: New Insights from a Systematic Echocardiographic Study in a Tertiary Hospital in Brazil
    (2021) DINIZ, Maria de Fatima Rodrigues; CARDOSO, Maira Freire; SAWAMURA, Karen Saori Shiraishi; MENEZES, Carolina Rocha Brito; LIANZA, Alessandro Cavalcanti; PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; LITVINOV, Nadia; FERRANTI, Juliana Ferreira; FORSAIT, Silvana; WATANABE, Andreia; FARHAT, Sylvia Costa Lima; AIKAWA, Nadia Emi; CAMPOS, Lucia Maria Arruda; DELGADO, Artur Figueiredo; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; SILVA, Clovis Artur; LEAL, Gabriela Nunes
    Background: COVID-19 pandemic represents a huge burden to the health system in the world. Although pediatric COVID-19 patients have been relatively spared compared with adults, recent reports showed an increasing number of critically ill patients with multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-c), with marked cardiovascular impairment. Nevertheless, little is known about the relationship between cardiac abnormalities and inflammatory and coagulation biomarkers. Objectives: to investigate echocardiographic abnormalities in pediatric patients with COVID-19 admitted to tertiary hospital. Methods: this was a retrospective longitudinal study, based on the review of medical records and echocardiograms of patients (0-19 years) admitted to a tertiary hospital between March 30 and June 30, 2020. For statistical analysis, the significance level was set at 5% (p < 0.05). Results: Forty-eight patients were enrolled, 73% with preexisting diseases, 20 (41.7%) with MIS-c. Median age was 7.5 (0-18.6) years; 27 (56.2%) were male. Median duration of hospitalization was 15.4 (2-92) days and seven (14.6%) patients died. A total of 70 echocardiograms were performed; 66.7% patients were scanned only once and 33.3% multiple times. Twenty-three (48%) patients showed echocardiographic abnormalities: eight (16.6%) left ventricle (LV) systolic dysfunction, six (12.5%) right ventricle (RV) systolic dysfunction and 12 (25%) coronary dilatation (Z-score>+2.5). Echocardiographic abnormalities were significantly associated with MIS-c, admission to the pediatric intensive care unit, multiple organ dysfunction, ventilatory/vasoactive support, and death (p<0.05). Significantly higher d-dimer (ng/mL) levels were detected in patients with LV dysfunction [16733(4157-115668) vs. 2406.5(190-95040)], RV dysfunction [25769(3422-115668) vs. 2803.5(190-95040)] and coronary artery dilation [9652.5(921-115668) vs. 2724(190- 95040)] (p<0.05). Conclusion: Echocardiographic abnormalities in COVID-19 pediatric patients were frequent and associated with worse clinical outcomes. Exacerbation of the inflammation and coagulation pathways may play an important role in cardiovascular injury in those patients.

    Differences among Severe Cases of Sars-CoV-2, Influenza, and Other Respiratory Viral Infections in Pediatric Patients: Symptoms, Outcomes and Preexisting Comorbidities
    (2020) SOUSA, Braian L. A.; SAMPAIO-CARNEIRO, Magda; CARVALHO, Werther B. de; SILVA, Clovis A.; FERRARO, Alexandre A.
    OBJECTIVES: Previous studies focusing on pediatric patients hospitalized with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been limited to small case series. We aimed to evaluate the characteristics of a large population of pediatric patients with severe COVID-19 and compare them with patients with severe cases of influenza and other respiratory viruses (ORV). METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional study of Brazilian data from the National Epidemiological Surveillance Information System, gathered from January 1st to July 14th, 2020. The sample included 4,784 patients (2,570 with confirmed COVID-19, 659 with influenza, 1,555 with ORV). Outcome measures included clinical features, preexisting comorbidities, pediatric intensive care unit admissions, need for ventilatory support, and death. RESULTS: Compared with the influenza and ORV groups, the COVID-19 group had a higher proportion of newborns and adolescents, as well as lower frequencies of fever, cough, dyspnea, respiratory distress, and desaturation. Although use of invasive ventilatory support was similar among groups, death rate was highest for COVID-19 (15.2% vs. 4.5% vs. 3.2%, p <0.001), with death risk more than three times the other groups (adjusted OR=3.7 [95% CI 2.5-5.6]). The presence of two or more comorbidities further increased this risk (OR=4.8 [95% CI 3.5-6.6]). Preexisting comorbidities were reported in 986 patients with severe COVID-19 (38%). Mortality rate among COVID-19 patients was significantly higher for almost all comorbidities reported. CONCLUSION: Severe COVID-19 had a higher mortality rate than other viral respiratory illnesses, despite the lower frequency of fever, cough, dyspnea, respiratory distress, and desaturation. Death risk was strongly associated with preexisting comorbidities.

    Differences in children and adolescents with SARS-CoV-2 infection: a cohort study in a Brazilian tertiary referral hospital
    (2021) MARQUES, Heloisa Helena de Sousa; PEREIRA, Maria Fernanda Badue; SANTOS, Angelica Carreira dos; FINK, Thais Toledo; PAULA, Camila Sanson Yoshino de; LITVINOV, Nadia; SCHVARTSMAN, Claudio; DELGADO, Artur Figueiredo; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; CARVALHOL, Werther Brunow de; ODONE FILHO, Vicente; TANNURI, Uenis; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; GRISI, Sandra; DUARTE, Alberto Jose da Silva; ANTONANGELO, Leila; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pucineli Vieira; OKAY, Thelma Suely; BATISTTELLA, Linamara Rizzo; CARVALHO, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro de; BRENTANI, Alexandra Valeria Maria; SILVA, Clovis Artur
    OBJECTIVES: To compare demographic/clinical/laboratory/treatments and outcomes among children and adolescents with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study that included patients diagnosed with pediatric COVID-19 (aged <18 years) between April 11, 2020 and April 22, 2021. During this period, 102/5,951 (1.7%) of all admissions occurred in neonates, children, and adolescents. Furthermore, 3,962 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection samples were processed in patients aged <18 years, and laboratory-confirmed COVID19 occurred in 155 (4%) inpatients and outpatients. Six/155 pediatric patients were excluded from the study. Therefore, the final group included 149 children and adolescents (n=97 inpatients and 52 outpatients) with positive SARS-CoV-2 results. RESULTS: The frequencies of sore throat, anosmia, dysgeusia, headache, myalgia, nausea, lymphopenia, pre-existing chronic conditions, immunosuppressive conditions, and autoimmune diseases were significantly reduced in children and adolescents (p < 0.05). Likewise, the frequencies of enoxaparin use (p=0.037), current immunosuppressant use (p=0.008), vasoactive agents (p=0.045), arterial hypotension (p <0.001), and shock (p=0.024) were significantly lower in children than in adolescents. Logistic regression analysis showed that adolescents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 had increased odds ratios (ORs) for sore throat (OR 13.054; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.750-61.977; p=0.001), nausea (OR 8.875; 95% CI 1.660-47.446; p=0.011), and lymphopenia (OR 3.575; 95% CI 1.355-9.430; p=0.010), but also had less hospitalizations (OR 0.355; 95% CI 0.138-0.916; p=0.032). The additional logistic regression analysis on patients with preexisting chronic conditions (n=108) showed that death as an outcome was significantly associated with pediatric severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) (OR 22.300; 95% CI 2.341-212.421; p=0.007) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) (OR 11.261; 95% CI 1.189-106. 581; p=0.035). CONCLUSIONS: Half of the laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases occurred in adolescents. Individuals belonging to this age group had an acute systemic involvement of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Pediatric SARS and MIS-C were the most important factors associated with the mortality rate in pediatric chronic conditions with COVID-19.

    An autopsy study of the spectrum of severe COVID-19 in children: From SARS to different phenotypes of MIS-C
    (2021) DUARTE-NETO, Amaro Nunes; CALDINI, Elia Garcia; GOMES-GOUVEA, Michele Soares; KANAMURA, Cristina Takami; MONTEIRO, Renata Aparecida de Almeida; FERRANTI, Juliana Ferreira; VENTURA, Andrea Maria Cordeiro; REGALIO, Fabiane Aliotti; FIORENZANO, Daniela Matos; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; LEAL, Gabriela Nunes; PINHO, Joao Renato Rebello; DELGADO, Artur Figueiredo; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; MAUAD, Thais; SILVA, Luiz Fernando Ferraz da; SALDIVA, Paulo Hilario Nascimento; DOLHNIKOFF, Marisa
    Background: COVID-19 in children is usually mild or asymptomatic, but severe and fatal paediatric cases have been described. The pathology of COVID-19 in children is not known; the proposed pathogenesis for severe cases includes immune-mediated mechanisms or the direct effect of SARS-CoV-2 on tissues. We describe the autopsy findings in five cases of paediatric COVID-19 and provide mechanistic insight into the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. Methods: Children and adolescents who died with COVID-19 between March 18 and August 15, 2020 were autopsied with a minimally invasive method. Tissue samples from all vital organs were analysed by histology, electron microscopy (EM), reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Findings: Five patients were included, one male and four female, aged 7 months to 15 years. Two patients had severe diseases before SARS-CoV-2 infection: adrenal carcinoma and Edwards syndrome. Three patients were previously healthy and had multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) with distinct clinical presentations: myocarditis, colitis, and acute encephalopathy with status epilepticus. Autopsy findings varied amongst patients and included mild to severe COVID-19 pneumonia, pulmonary microthrombosis, cerebral oedema with reactive gliosis, myocarditis, intestinal inflammation, and haemophagocytosis. SARSCoV-2 was detected in all patients in lungs, heart and kidneys by at least one method (RT-PCR, IHC or EM), and in endothelial cells from heart and brain in two patients with MIS-C (IHC). In addition, we show for the first time the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the brain tissue of a child with MIS-C with acute encephalopathy, and in the intestinal tissue of a child with acute colitis. Interpretation: SARS-CoV-2 can infect several cell and tissue types in paediatric patients, and the target organ for the clinical manifestation varies amongst individuals. Two major patterns of severe COVID-19 were observed: a primarily pulmonary disease, with severe acute respiratory disease and diffuse alveolar damage, or a multisystem inflammatory syndrome with the involvement of several organs. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in several organs, associated with cellular ultrastructural changes, reinforces the hypothesis that a direct effect of SARS-CoV-2 on tissues is involved in the pathogenesis of MIS-C.

    Early Mobilization in PICU: Are We on Time?
    (2019) JOHNSTON, C.; KREBS, V.L.J.; CARVALHO, W.B. de; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, M.
    Purpose of review: Elements based on specific literature to assist in the elaboration of an early mobilization (EM) protocol for severely ill children in a pediatric intensive care unit or in an inpatient care unit. Recent findings: Recent findings have shown that immobility during critical periods of the disease may cause physical, neuromusculoskeletal, metabolic, cognitive, and psychological sequelae that may extend throughout life. Prolonged bed rest is associated with thromboembolic events, decreased protein synthesis and muscle mass, and increased risk of death. Children surviving from serious illnesses have an increased risk of delay in overall recovery, resulting in poor quality of life and increased costs of post-discharge health services in the short, medium, and long term. Summary: Further research is needed to delineate protocols for specific populations in PICU as well as to find associations between interventions in PICU with EM, and with outcome times spent in PICU and hospital, need for care after hospital discharge, death and quality of life, among others. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
