Happy New Year! Most of us have a long list of good intentions for the new year. We hope that keeping up with literature in 2021 is one of them. 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: ‘Is child abuse more prevalent during the pandemic?’, ‘Can the smartphone replace the Bristol Stool Chart?’, ‘Does ‘one hour’ matter in giving antibiotics in septic shock?’, ‘Does social distancing lead to fewer URTIs?’, ‘Are ketones useful at triage?’ and ‘Should we worry about invasive infections in children with OMA?’.
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
