Here is our bumper Bubble Wrap Plus, our monthly paediatric Journal Club List provided by Professor Jaan Toelen & his team 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 bubble wrap plus list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘Should we blame acid reflux for distress in infants?’, ‘Is there an association between enteric viruses and NEC?’, ‘Is there a value in US guided surfactant administration?’, ‘Do healthy children with a cervical lymph node need an ultrasound?’ and ‘Was there an outbreak of anorexia co-occurring with the pandemic?’.
