Here is a new Bubble Wrap Plus, our monthly paediatric Journal Club List provided by Professor Jaan Toelen of the University Hospitals in Leuven (Belgium). This comprehensive list of ‘articles to read’ comes from 34 journals, including Pediatrics, The Journal of Pediatrics, Archives of Disease in Childhood, JAMA Pediatrics, Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, NEJM, and many more.
This month’s list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘How should we prepare for the 2021 RSV season?’, ‘When does high flow oxygen fail in bronchiolitis?’, ‘Is early tonsillectomy useful for OSA in children?’, ‘Can probiotics reduce the incidence of NEC in preterms?’ and ‘Does reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 lead to a second episode of MISC?’.
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
