In the 1970s, McCracken et al1 described the association between K1 polysaccharide–encapsulated Escherichia coli and neonatal meningitis. During the next several decades, investigators worldwide elaborated the molecular basis of the virulence of extra-intestinal pathogenic E coli (ExPEC), specialized clones variously capable of causing bloodstream, urinary tract, and even central nervous system infections in newborns, children, and adults.2 In addition to polysaccharide capsules such as K1, ExPEC clones routinely encoded adhesins, cytotoxins, and iron-acquisition systems, among other virulence factors.

In this issue of JAMA Pediatrics, Tidblad et al1 report a Swedish nationwide cohort study of 3408 adults who had received growth hormone treatment during childhood from 1985 to 2010 for isolated growth hormone deficiency (GHD), small for gestational age without catch-up growth (SGA), or idiopathic short stature (ISS). Cardiovascular events through 2014 were compared between this register-based cohort and control individuals matched 15:1 for age, sex, and county (n?=?50?036) randomly selected from the Swedish Total Population Register. Data on select covariates were collected from various national health and population registers and linked by the individuals’ unique personal identity numbers. The adjusted hazard ratio for all cardiovascular events was higher in patients than controls overall (1.69; 95% CI, 1.30-2.19), in each indication subgroup, for severe cardiovascular events only, and in particular in females. As the authors state, “Conclusions of causality are still limited and the absolute risk remains low.”

From 1999 to 2016, opioid-related mortality among adolescents and young adults aged 13 to 25 years (referred to as youth) increased 3-fold.1 Opioid overdose deaths in adult populations often involve other substances, particularly benzodiazepines and, increasingly, stimulants.2,3 Little is known about polysubstance involvement in opioid overdose deaths among youth. In this cross-sectional study, we examined national trends in polysubstance-involved opioid overdose deaths among youth in the US.

The use of medication from 2 or more psychotropic classes, ie, polypharmacy,1 has increased among US youths2 despite limited evidence of efficacy and mounting safety concerns.3 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved several psychotropic classes, eg, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and second-generation antipsychotics, for expanded use in pediatric populations,4,5 but it is unknown whether this corresponds with the observed increase in psychotropic polypharmacy and who is more likely to receive psychotropic polypharmacy. Our goal was to investigate differences during a 17-year study period in the characteristics of US youths treated with psychotropic polypharmacy and in the psychotropic classes used in combination.

during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, determination of prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among children without symptoms of COVID-19 is critical to guide infection control policy. While estimates have been reported in children undergoing emergency surgery1 and oncologic care,2 these small studies have limited generalizability to large populations of children without symptoms. When children's hospitals resumed elective medical and surgical care in April and May 2020, many implemented routine SARS-CoV-2 testing for children presenting for care not associated with suspicion of COVID-19. Here, we report the prevalence of positive SARS-CoV-2 test results in children without symptoms at 28 children's hospitals across the US.

Breastfeeding is the best source of nutrition for most infants. It is associated with a reduction in the risk for some health conditions for both infants and mothers.1,2 The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants be fed only human milk for about the first 6 months of life, with continued breastfeeding along with complementary foods for at least 1 year.3 Previous studies have indicated that early formula supplementation is associated with the exclusivity and duration of breastfeeding,4 but, to our knowledge, trend analysis on formula supplementation among US children is lacking. This survey study examines the trends in early formula supplementation by race/ethnicity using data from the National Immunization Survey–Child (NIS-Child) of US children born from 2009 to 2015.

To the Editor Bethell et al1 find a dose-response association between positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and depression/poor mental health (D/PMH) and adult-reported social/emotional support after accounting for exposure to adverse childhood experiences. In nonrandomized (real-world) data, treatment selection can be biased by unobservable confounders or inadequately measured explanatory variables, including, in this case, drug use additional to alcohol, exercise, income, wealth, education, race/ethnicity, comorbidities, family and friends, community engagement, job stress, sleep, and major life events. In this case, PCEs may serve as a proxy for such unobservable factors, suggesting that the observed adjusted odds ratio of 0.28 (95% CI, 0.21-0.39; P?<?.001) for D/PMH among those reporting 6 to 7 PCEs indeed implies a moderate degree of causality after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, and annual income.

In Reply We are delighted that Gong et al, using methods borrowed from economics, confirmed the validity of the associations reported in our article on the association between positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and adult mental health. Although it was a rigorous population sample and both demographic and childhood adversity exposures were controlled for, the 2015 Wisconsin Behavioral Risk Factor Survey data sample size was insufficient to fully explore many other factors. However, extensive sensitivity analyses were conducted when developing the models for our study that did consider many other variables, such as health behaviors and other health conditions. In cases where samples allowed models to be fit, inclusion of these variables did not meaningfully alter estimated associations for the PCEs variable of interest and in most cases were either not statistically significant or associations were very small. No effect sizes for any additional variables were observed that approached the E-value Gong et al suggest would be required to eliminate the observed effect of PCEs. In most cases, additional variables associated with health behaviors and concurrent health conditions were not included owing to lack of sufficient sample, lack of significance or effect on PCEs associations, as well owing to concerns about multicollinearity or simultaneity. We do note that our explorations were not exhaustive and could not take into account potentially critical unobserved factors, such as noted in the letter. Clearly, although the main results are robust, further research and longitudinal study designs are needed. We hope that Gong et al will continue to bring novel methodologic techniques and approaches to better elucidate the association between a full range of childhood experiences and subsequent adult health. We are enriched by this letter’s contribution to our own work in this area.

To the Editor In their study, Chan et al1 report the effectiveness of omalizumab in treating severe pediatric atopic dermatitis, with significant clinical benefit. While these encouraging results suggest that omalizumab may be a viable treatment option for this patient group, the Editorial2 on this study succinctly raised the issue of cost-effectiveness because the cost of omalizumab administration could amount to greater than $100?000 per year. Thus, there needs to be a strong rationale for using omalizumab in favor of other treatment options.

In Reply We thank Park for the comments on our study.1 We would like to point out that the Atopic Dermatitis Anti-IgE Pediatric Trial (ADAPT) did not set out to study the role of UV (UV) therapy in atopic dermatitis (AD) or compare it with omalizumab in children. The study on UV therapy2 quoted by Park was not a randomized clinical trial. Therefore, the results are not directly comparable and should be interpreted with caution.

To the Editor In a Viewpoint, Rüdiger and Rozycki1 invite us to reconsider the use of the Apgar score, with all its flaws. In particular, they invite readers to send their proposal for a new tool to be used at birth, aimed to assess more reliably the possible outcomes for an infant. I hope this future new tool would provide respect for an infant with regard to one point: pain. The original papers by Virginia Apgar did specify how to assess the parameters of her score, in particular “reflex irritability,” and that was not reassuring. She wrote that “The usual testing method was suctioning the oropharynx and nares with a soft rubber catheter which called forth a response of facial grimaces, sneezing or coughing.”2 As anyone can understand, this is inapplicable today: airway aspiration is discouraged in most infants by the current guidelines3 because, among other drawbacks, it provokes unnecessary pain. Thus, while most studies that use the Apgar score fail to assess how they score this specific item, some, considering the aforementioned objections about suctioning, have nonetheless proposed other types of painful stimulations.4 I underline that unnecessary pain should always be proscribed, in particular infants’ pain; even single and apparently innocent episodes of procedural pain can lead to ominous consequences.5 I have analyzed neonatal literature and published several articles on how frequent the use of unnecessary pain was in infants in research trials and I propose that provoking pain should not be included in the development of a new prognostic tool to be used at birth, at least for healthy infants. In the case of infants who need supportive or resuscitative maneuvers, the level of reactivity to pain might be calculated, although it may be difficult to determine a single potentially painful maneuver (eg, suctioning or intubation) that would be routinely performed in each of these infants. Nonetheless, I argue that no pain should be provoked purposely either for research purposes or for prognostic assessment.

In Reply In the years since Dr Apgar’s score was published,1 our understanding of the sequence of physiological events occurring during the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life has progressed. This knowledge helps inform the assessments and procedures that constitute the Neonatal Resuscitation Program.2 Oxygenation and changes in circulation culminate in tissue oxygen delivery. A score should reflect those steps. We assume that Apgar chose reflex irritability, which was a sneeze, grimace, or other response to having something stuck up the infant’s nose, as an indication that the brain was receiving sufficient oxygen and perfusion to do its functions. After routine suctioning was dropped as a standard maneuver during resuscitation, a variety of other stimuli, equally irritating, have been substituted.

In Reply The point made by O’Brien et al in response to the Viewpoint “High-Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy for Pediatric Patients With Bronchiolitis: Time to Put the Horse Back in the Barn”1 around the safety of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is quite valid and well taken. The risks posed by HFNC use in most clinical settings are likely quite low, although they are certainly not zero.2,3 Magnitude of risk aside, the relevant question in this situation could be posed as follows: if a patient does not clearly stand to benefit from a therapeutic strategy, should we accept even small risks from its use? This is a particularly salient question given the context of increasing use of HFNC in bronchiolitis without evidence of benefit, at least in North America.4,5 If one considers unnecessary cost as a harm, we can draw an even stronger conclusion that it is in the patient’s best interest to avoid early use of HFNC in bronchiolitis because most patients can do so without any harm at all.1

To address gaps in mental health care associated with COVID-19, Golberstein et al1 propose technology-enabled modalities, such as telehealth (ie, telemental health), as a potential solution.1 While acknowledging that some schools and families may lack access to technology to support telehealth and remarking that existing inequities must not be worsened,1 the authors missed an opportunity to note that in rural areas, where youth mental health needs are arguably most profound, limited broadband accessibility may preclude use of telehealth services entirely.
