Can’t get enough of Bubble Wrap? The Bubble Wrap Plus is a monthly paediatric journal club reading list from Anke Raaijmakers, working with Professor Jaan Toelen and his team at the University Hospitals in Leuven. This comprehensive list is developed from 34 journals, including major and subspecialty paediatric journals. We suggest this list can help you discover relevant or interesting articles for your local journal club or allow you to keep a finger on the pulse of paediatric research.
This month’s list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘Is the neonatal sepsis calculator useful if women were not screened for GBS?’, ‘Who can best score postoperative pain: parents or the children?’, ‘Is functional constipation associated with hypohydration?’, ‘Who is best at assessing foreign body aspiration on chest X-ray: pediatric pulmonologists, pediatric residents, or radiologists?’ and ‘Can nirsevimab protect healthy late-preterm and term infants from medically attended RSV infection?’.
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
