Can’t get enough of Bubble Wrap? The Bubble Wrap Plus is a monthly paediatric journal club reading list from Anke Raaijmakers, who is 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 keep your finger on the pulse of paediatric research.
This month’s list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘Is there a reliable calculator to predict early onset sepsis in neonates?’, ‘Do we see fewer congenital CMV infections due to the pandemic?’, ‘Is it useful to do pre-emptive interventions when suspecting autism?’, ‘How long do children need to sit to develop back pain?’ and ‘Should we reduce screen time after a concussion?’
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
