Abstract
CONTEXT Over the past several decades, there have been indications of potential shifts in the diagnostic strategies, treatment, and monitoring of patients with Graves´ disease (GD). OBJECTIVE To evaluate current practices in managing GD and compare them to previous surveys. DESIGN We used a global survey of endocrinologists to assess diagnosis, monitoring and treatment in a typical patient with GD, as well as treatment variation in five different clinical scenarios. SETTING Online survey. PARTICIPANTS Members of various endocrine societies worldwide. INTERVENTION None. MAIN OUTCOME Shifts in the management of GD. RESULTS 1252 respondents from 85 countries completed the survey. Methods used to diagnose an uncomplicated GD case have changed over the past decade, reflecting increased use of TRAb and reciprocal decreases in nuclear medicine studies. The preferred mode of therapy for uncomplicated GD was antithyroid drugs (ATDs) by 91.5% of respondents, radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy by 7%, and thyroidectomy by 1.5%. Compared with previous surveys, the use of RAI as a first-line choice decreased in all geographic regions. The U.S. had the sharpest decline in the selection of initial therapy with RAI, decreasing from 69% in 1990 to 11.1% in 2023. In patients with persistent TRAb positivity after 18 months, 68.7% of respondents would continue the use of ATDs. After a relapse of GD, resumption of ATDs was selected by 59.9% of respondents. In patients with active TED or planning pregnancy, ATDs were the first choice (67.5% and 72.8%, respectively), and thyroidectomy emerged as the second choice (22.9% and 15.6%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Paradigm shifts have occurred in the management of uncomplicated GD and its variants, as well as the response to persistent and recurrent hyperthyroidism.

Abstract
Opioids or benzodiazepines use is known to increase the risk of delirium. The prevalence of delirium is high in pediatric cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) with associated morbidity and mortality. We investigate the short-term effects of quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic medication, on opioid and benzodiazepine requirements, and any associated adverse events as we utilize quetiapine to treat delirium symptoms in this single-center, retrospective study. Twenty-eight patients who received quetiapine between January 2018 and June 2019 in the CICU met inclusion criteria for the analysis. The quetiapine initiation dose was 0.5 mg/kg/dose every 8 h and we allowed 48 h for quetiapine to reach a steady state. Overall opioid and benzodiazepine requirements were compared 72 h before and 72 h after the quetiapine steady state. There was a statistically significant reduction in the total daily opioid (p = 0.001) and benzodiazepine (p = 0.01) amounts following quetiapine initiation. There was also a statistically significant decrease in the total number of daily PRNs requirement for both opioids (p < 0.001) and benzodiazepines (p = 0.03). Nine out of 13 patients were completely weaned off continuous opioid drips following quetiapine initiation (p = 0.01). The presence of steady-state habituation medications, including methadone or lorazepam, did not have any statistically significant effect on weaning continuous opioid (p = 0.18) or benzodiazepine (p = 0.62) drips. There was no statistically significant effect of quetiapine on the QTc interval after quetiapine initiation (p = 0.58) with no clinically significant arrhythmias observed during the study period. Our study demonstrates a statistically significant reduction in opioid and benzodiazepine requirements following quetiapine initiation to treat delirium symptoms without significant adverse effects in patients with congenital heart disease in the short term.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Warfarin remains the preferred anticoagulant for many patients with CHD. The complexity of management led our centre to shift from a nurse-physician-managed model with many providers to a pharmacist-managed model with a centralized anticoagulation team. We aim to describe the patient cohort managed by our Anticoagulation Program and evaluate the impact of implementation of this consistent, pharmacist-managed model on time in therapeutic range, an evidence-based marker for clinical outcomes. METHODS A single-centre retrospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the transition to a pharmacist-managed model to improve anticoagulation management at a tertiary pediatric heart centre. The percent time in therapeutic range for a cohort managed by both models was compared using a paired t-test. Patient characteristics and time in therapeutic range of the program were also described. RESULTS After implementing the pharmacist-managed model, the time in therapeutic range for a cohort of 58 patients increased from 65.7 to 80.2% (p < .001), and our Anticoagulation Program consistently maintained this improvement from 2013 to 2022. The cohort of patients managed by the Anticoagulation Program in 2022 included 119 patients with a median age of 24 years (range 19 months-69 years) with the most common indication for warfarin being mechanical valve replacement (n = 81, 68%). CONCLUSIONS Through a practice change incorporating a collaborative, centralized, pharmacist-managed model, this cohort of CHD patients on warfarin had a fifteen percent increase in time in therapeutic range, which was sustained for nine years.

Abstract
Thyrotoxicosis causes a variety of symptoms and adverse health outcomes. Hyperthyroidism refers to increased thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion, most commonly from Graves' disease or toxic nodular goitre, whereas thyroiditis (typically autoimmune, viral, or drug induced) causes thyrotoxicosis without hyperthyroidism. The diagnosis is based on suppressed serum concentrations of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), accompanied by free thyroxine and total or free tri-iodothyronine concentrations, which are raised (overt hyperthyroidism) or within range (subclinical hyperthyroidism). The underlying cause is determined by clinical assessment, detection of TSH-receptor antibodies and, if necessary, radionuclide thyroid scintigraphy. Treatment options for hyperthyroidism include antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, and thyroidectomy, whereas thyroiditis is managed symptomatically or with glucocorticoid therapy. In Graves' disease, first-line treatment is a 12-18-month course of antithyroid drugs, whereas for goitre, radioactive iodine or surgery are preferred for toxic nodules or goitres. Evidence also supports long-term treatment with antithyroid drugs as an option for patients with Graves' disease and toxic nodular goitre.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess rates of cardiac surgery and the clinical and demographic features that influence surgical vs nonsurgical treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) in patients with trisomy 13 (T13) and trisomy 18 (T18) in the United States. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study was performed using the Pediatric Health Information System. All hospital admissions of children (<18 years of age) with T13 and T18 in the United States were identified from 2003 through 2022. International Classifications of Disease (ICD) codes were used to identify presence of CHD, extracardiac comorbidities/malformations, and performance of cardiac surgery. RESULTS Seven thousand one hundred thirteen patients were identified. CHD was present in 62% (1625/2610) of patients with T13 and 73% (3288/4503) of patients with T18. The most common CHD morphologies were isolated atrial/ventricular septal defects (T13 40%, T18 42%) and aortic hypoplasia/coarctation (T13 21%, T18 23%). Single-ventricle morphologies comprised 6% (100/1625) of the T13 and 5% (167/3288) of the T18 CHD cohorts. Surgery was performed in 12% of patients with T13 plus CHD and 17% of patients with T18 plus CHD. For all cardiac diagnoses, <50% of patients received surgery. Nonsurgical patients were more likely to be born prematurely (P < .05 for T13 and T18). The number of extracardiac comorbidities was similar between surgical/nonsurgical patients with T13 (median 2 vs 2, P = .215) and greater in surgical vs nonsurgical patients with T18 (median 3 vs 2, P < .001). Hospital mortality was <10% for both surgical cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Patients with T13 or T18 and CHD receive surgical palliation, but at a low prevalence (≤17%) nationally. Given operative mortality <10%, opportunity exists perhaps for quality improvement in the performance of cardiac surgery for these vulnerable patient populations.

Abstract
Various clinical manifestations of thyroiditis after parathyroidectomy have been reported in the literature, ranging from mild symptoms to tachyarrhythmias and myocardial infarction. We report 2 cases of post-parathyroidectomy thyroiditis. Both patients had primary hyperparathyroidism and underwent parathyroidectomy for a solitary parathyroid adenoma. They subsequently developed symptoms of hyperthyroidism, including palpitations and heat intolerance. Laboratory investigations demonstrated a suppressed TSH level with elevated free T4 levels and low uptake on thyroid radioiodine scan, confirming the diagnosis of thyroiditis. The patients were managed conservatively, and their symptoms gradually resolved with normalization of thyroid hormone levels. A review of 27 cases reported to date reveals that this condition is mostly attributed to manipulation of the thyroid during parathyroid surgery. It occurs more frequently in patients who undergo 4-gland parathyroidectomy for secondary or tertiary hyperthyroidism and is self-limited within a few weeks. The case reports highlight the importance of recognizing thyroiditis as a potentially underrecognized complication of parathyroid surgery. Further research is warranted to better understand the underlying pathophysiology and to establish potential risk factors for its development post-parathyroidectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of peritoneal catheters for prophylactic dialysis or drainage to prevent fluid overload after neonatal cardiac surgery is common in some centres; however, the multi-centre variability and details of peritoneal catheter use are not well described. METHODS Twenty-two-centre NEonatal and Pediatric Heart Renal Outcomes Network (NEPHRON) study to describe multi-centre peritoneal catheter use after STAT category 3-5 neonatal cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. Patient characteristics and acute kidney injury/fluid outcomes for six post-operative days are described among three cohorts: peritoneal catheter with dialysis, peritoneal catheter with passive drainage, and no peritoneal catheter. RESULTS Of 1490 neonates, 471 (32%) had an intraoperative peritoneal catheter placed; 177 (12%) received prophylactic dialysis and 294 (20%) received passive drainage. Sixteen (73%) centres used peritoneal catheter at some frequency, including six centres in >50% of neonates. Four centres utilised prophylactic peritoneal dialysis. Time to post-operative dialysis initiation was 3 hours [1, 5] with the duration of 56 hours [37, 90]; passive drainage cohort drained for 92 hours [64, 163]. Peritoneal catheter were more common among patients receiving pre-operative mechanical ventilation, single ventricle physiology, and higher complexity surgery. There was no association with adverse events. Serum creatinine and daily fluid balance were not clinically different on any post-operative day. Mortality was similar. CONCLUSIONS In neonates undergoing complex cardiac surgery, peritoneal catheter use is not rare, with substantial variability among centres. Peritoneal catheters are used more commonly with higher surgical complexity. Adverse event rates, including mortality, are not different with peritoneal catheter use. Fluid overload and creatinine-based acute kidney injury rates are not different in peritoneal catheter cohorts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In children with myocarditis or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiogenic shock, it is often necessary to decompress the left heart to minimize distension and promote myocardial recovery. We compare outcomes in those who underwent balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) versus direct left atrial (LA) drainage for left heart decompression in this population. METHODS Retrospective study of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) multicenter registry of patients ≤ 18 years with myocarditis or DCM on ECMO who underwent LA decompression. Descriptive and univariate statistics assessed association of patient factors with decompression type. Multivariable logistic regression sought independent associations with outcomes. RESULTS 369 pediatric ECMO runs were identified. 52% myocarditis, 48% DCM, overall survival 74%. 65% underwent BAS and 35% LA drainage. Patient demographics including age, weight, gender, race/ethnicity, diagnosis, pre-ECMO pH, mean airway pressure, and arrest status were similar. 89% in the BAS group were peripherally cannulated onto ECMO, versus 3% in the LA drainage group (p < .001). On multivariable analysis, LA drainage (OR 3.96; 95% CI, 1.47-10.711; p = .007), renal complication (OR 2.37; 95% CI, 1.41-4.01; p = .001), cardiac complication (OR 3.14; 95% CI, 1.70-5.82; p < .001), and non-white race/ethnicity (OR 1.75; 95% CI, 1.04-2.94; p = .035) were associated with greater odds of mortality. There was a trend toward more episodes of pulmonary hemorrhage in BAS (n = 17) versus LA drainage group (n = 3), p = .08. Comparing only those with central cannulation, LA drainage group was more likely to be discontinued from ECMO due to recovery (72%) versus the BAS group (48%), p = .032. CONCLUSIONS In children with myocarditis or DCM, there was a three times greater likelihood for mortality with LA drainage versus BAS for LA decompression. When adjusted for central cannulation groups only, there was better recovery in the LA drainage group and no difference in mortality. Further prospective evaluation is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pediatric congenital heart patients are predisposed to develop low-cardiac output syndrome. Serum lactate (lactic acid [LA]) is a well-defined marker of inadequate systemic oxygen delivery. OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that a near real-time risk index calculated by a noninvasive predictive analytics algorithm predicts elevated LA in pediatric patients admitted to a cardiac ICU (CICU). DERIVATION COHORT Ten tertiary CICUs in the United States and Pakistan. VALIDATION COHORT Retrospective observational study performed to validate a hyperlactatemia (HLA) index using T3 platform data (Etiometry, Boston, MA) from pediatric patients less than or equal to 12 years of age admitted to CICU (n = 3,496) from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020. Patients lacking required data for module or LA measurements were excluded. PREDICTION MODEL Physiologic algorithm used to calculate an HLA index that incorporates physiologic data from patients in a CICU. The algorithm uses Bayes' theorem to interpret newly acquired data in a near real-time manner given its own previous assessment of the physiologic state of the patient. RESULTS A total of 58,168 LA measurements were obtained from 3,496 patients included in a validation dataset. HLA was defined as LA level greater than 4 mmol/L. Using receiver operating characteristic analysis and a complete dataset, the HLA index predicted HLA with high sensitivity and specificity (area under the curve 0.95). As the index value increased, the likelihood of having higher LA increased (p < 0.01). In the validation dataset, the relative risk of having LA greater than 4 mmol/L when the HLA index is less than 1 is 0.07 (95% CI: 0.06-0.08), and the relative risk of having LA less than 4 mmol/L when the HLA index greater than 99 is 0.13 (95% CI, 0.12-0.14). CONCLUSIONS These results validate the capacity of the HLA index. This novel index can provide a noninvasive prediction of elevated LA. The HLA index showed strong positive association with elevated LA levels, potentially providing bedside clinicians with an early, noninvasive warning of impaired cardiac output and oxygen delivery. Prospective studies are required to analyze the effect of this index on clinical decision-making and outcomes in pediatric population.

Abstract
Background: When the antithyroid drugs were discovered in the early 1940s, they were immediately recognized as a revolutionary new treatment for hyperthyroidism. Although much has been learned about their mechanism of action and clinical utility, they continue to be used today in much the same way as they have been since their introduction. Summary: In 1995, Dr. Clark Sawin gave an address on the history of antithyroid drug development at the 11th International Thyroid Congress in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In his review, Dr. Sawin recounted the original observations by Drs. Julia and Cosmo Mackenzie and Curt Richter at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and how their work ultimately led to Dr. Edwin (Ted) B. Astwood's seminal 1943 report on the use of thiourea and thiouracil in the Journal of the American Medical Association. He also described the development of propylthiouracil and methimazole as less toxic alternatives. He concluded his remarks by noting the often-serendipitous pathway of drug development and the role of pharmaceutical companies in the process. Conclusions: Antithyroid drugs remain a cornerstone of thyroid therapeutics. It is informative to review the process by which they came into use, as this is a seminal part of the history of thyroid disease in the 20th century. This knowledge may also spark additional research leading to new pharmacotherapies for patients with hyperthyroidism.

Abstract
Meningococcal disease is associated with high mortality despite aggressive antibiotic therapy and intensive care support. Patients may develop refractory hypotension and acute respiratory distress syndrome in which extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) could serve as a life-saving rescue therapy. However, there is limited data regarding the outcomes of ECMO support in the setting of meningococcal disease. This retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry (1989-2019) enrolled children (29 days-18 years old) with Neisseria meningitidis infection receiving ECMO for any support type and mode. A total of 122 patients underwent a single course of ECMO support, equating to 122 ECMO runs. The overall survival-to-discharge rate was 46.7%. Patients receiving pulmonary venovenous (VV) ECMO had the highest survival-to-discharge of 85.7%, while those receiving venoarterial (VA) ECMO for pulmonary indications had a survival of 32.4%. Patients receiving VA ECMO support for cardiac indications had a survival-to-discharge rate of 60.9%. Those needing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) had a poor survival (14.3%). Hemorrhagic complications were common, occurring in 43.4% of patients, but not found to be associated with mortality (complication was present in 47.7% of deceased and 38.6% of survivors, p = 0.31). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that neurologic complications were associated with increased odds of mortality (odds ratio: 44.11; 95% confidence interval: 4.95-393.08). ECMO can be utilized as rescue therapy in children with refractory cardiopulmonary failure in setting of meningococcemia. Patients who require pulmonary VV or cardiac ECMO have the best ECMO outcomes. However, the use of ECMO in those suffering cardiac arrest (ECPR) should be undertaken with caution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several human studies have associated nitric oxide administration via the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit with decreased incidence of cardiopulmonary bypass-associated acute kidney injury, but histopathologic and serologic evidence of nitric oxide efficacy for acute kidney injury attenuation are lacking. METHODS By using a survival ovine model (72 hours), acute kidney injury was induced by implementing low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass for 2 hours, followed by full-flow cardiopulmonary bypass for 2 hours. The nitric oxide cohort (n = 6) received exogenous nitric oxide through the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit via the oxygenator, and the control group (n = 5) received no nitric oxide. Serial serologic biomarkers and renal histopathology were obtained. RESULTS Baseline characteristics (age, weight) and intraoperative parameters (cardiopulmonary bypass time, urine output, heart rate, arterial pH, and lactate) were equivalent (P > .10) between groups. Postoperatively, urine output, heart rate, respiratory rate, and peripheral arterial saturation were equivalent (P > .10) between groups. Post-cardiopulmonary bypass creatinine elevations from baseline were significantly greater in the control group versus the nitric oxide group at 16, 24, and 48 hours (all P < .05). Histopathologic evidence of moderate/severe acute kidney injury (epithelial necrosis, tubular slough, cast formation, glomerular edema) occurred in 60% (3/5) of the control group versus 0% (0/6) of the nitric oxide group. Cortical tubular epithelial cilia lengthening (a sensitive sign of cellular injury) was significantly greater in the control group than in the nitric oxide group (P = .012). CONCLUSIONS In a survival ovine cardiopulmonary bypass model, nitric oxide administered with cardiopulmonary bypass demonstrated serologic and histologic evidence of renal protection from acute kidney injury. These results provide insight into 1 potential mechanism for cardiopulmonary bypass-associated acute kidney injury and supports continued study of nitric oxide via cardiopulmonary bypass circuit for prevention of acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Thyroid hormones are essential during developmental myelination and may play a direct role in remyelination and repair in the adult central nervous system by promoting the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells into mature oligodendrocytes. Since tri-iodothyronine (T3) is believed to mediate the majority of important thyroid hormone actions, liothyronine (synthetic T3) has the potential to induce reparative mechanisms and limit neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). We completed a phase 1b clinical trial to determine the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of liothyronine in individuals with relapsing and progressive MS. A total of 20 people with MS were enrolled in this single-center trial of oral liothyronine. Eighteen participants completed the 24-week study. Our study cohort included mostly women (11/20), majority relapsing MS (12/20), mean age of 46, and baseline median EDSS of 3.5. Liothyronine was tolerated well without treatment-related severe/serious adverse events or evidence of disease activation/clinical deterioration. The most common adverse events included gastrointestinal distress and abnormal thyroid function tests. No clinical thyrotoxicosis occurred. Importantly, we did not observe a negative impact on secondary clinical outcome measures. The CSF proteomic changes suggest a biological effect of T3 treatment within the CNS. We noted changes primarily in proteins associated with immune cell function and angiogenesis. Liothyronine appeared safe and was well tolerated in people with MS. A larger clinical trial will help assess whether liothyronine can promote oligodendrogenesis and enhance remyelination in vivo, limit axonal degeneration, or improve function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The epidemiology of unplanned extubations (UEs) and associated adverse outcomes in pediatric cardiac ICUs (CICU). DESIGN Registry data (August 2014 to October 2020). SETTING Forty-five Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium hospitals. PATIENTS Patients receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) via endotracheal tube (ETT). INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Fifty-six thousand five hundred eight MV courses occurred in 36,696 patients, with a crude UE rate of 2.8%. In cardiac surgical patients, UE was associated with longer duration of MV, but we failed to find such association in medical patients. In both cohorts, UE was associated with younger age, being underweight, and airway anomaly. In multivariable logistic regression, airway anomaly was associated with UE in all patients. Younger age, higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery score category, longer duration of MV, and initial oral rather than nasal ETT are associated with UE in the surgical group, but we failed to find such associations in the medical group. UE was associated with a higher reintubation rate compared with elective extubation (26.8 vs 4.8%; odds ratio [OR], 7.35; 95% CI, 6.44-8.39; p < 0.0001) within 1 day of event. After excluding patients having redirection of care, UE was associated with at least three-fold greater odds for each of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), cardiac arrest, and use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS). However, we failed to identify an association between UE and greater odds of mortality (1.2 vs 0.8%; OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 0.86-2.54; p = 0.15), but uncertainty remains. CONCLUSIONS UE in CICU patients is associated with greater odds of cardiac arrest, VAP, and MCS. Cardiac medical and surgical patients in the CICU appear to have different explanatory factors associated with UE, and perhaps these may be modifiable and tested in future collaborative population research.

OBJECTIVES Provider-only, combined surgical, and medical multidisciplinary rounds ("surgical rounds") are essential to achieve optimal outcomes in large pediatric cardiac ICUs. Lean methodology was applied with the aims of identifying areas of waste and nonvalue-added work within the surgical rounds process. Thereby, the goals were to improve rounding efficiency and reduce rounding duration while not sacrificing critical patient care discussion nor delaying bedside rounds or surgical start times. DESIGN Single-center improvement science study with observational and interventional phases from February 2, 2021, to July 31, 2021. SETTING Tertiary pediatric cardiac ICU. PARTICIPANTS Cardiothoracic surgery and cardiac intensive care team members participating in daily "surgical" rounds. INTERVENTIONS Implementation of technology automation, creation of work instructions, standardization of patient presentation content and order, provider training, and novel role assignment. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Sixty-one multidisciplinary rounds were observed (30 pre, 31 postintervention). During the preintervention period, identified inefficiencies included prolonged preparation time, redundant work, presentation variability and extraneous information, and frequent provider transitions. Application of targeted interventions resulted in a 26% decrease in indexed rounds duration (2.42 vs 1.8 min; p = 0.0003), 50% decrease in indexed rounds preparation time (0.53 vs 0.27 min; p < 0.0001), and 66% decrease in transition time between patients (0.09 vs 0.03 min; p < 0.0001). The number of presenting provider changes also decreased (9 vs 4; p < 0.0001). Indexed discussion duration did not change (1 vs 0.98 min; p = 0.08) nor did balancing measures (bedside rounds and surgical start times) change (8.5 vs 9 min; p = 0.89 and 38 vs 22 min; p = 0.09). CONCLUSIONS Lean methodology can be effectively applied to multidisciplinary rounds in a joint cardiothoracic surgery/cardiac intensive care setting to decrease waste and inefficiency. Interventions resulted in decreased preparation time, transition time, presenting provider changes, total rounds duration indexed to patient census, and anecdotal improvements in provider satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is an important cause of post-operative morbidity and mortality for children undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Dysregulated inflammation is widely regarded as a key contributor to bypass-related MODS pathobiology, with considerable overlap of pathways associated with septic shock. The pediatric sepsis biomarker risk model (PERSEVERE) is comprised of seven protein biomarkers of inflammation and reliably predicts baseline risk of mortality and organ dysfunction among critically ill children with septic shock. We aimed to determine if PERSEVERE biomarkers and clinical data could be combined to derive a new model to assess the risk of persistent CPB-related MODS in the early post-operative period. METHODS This study included 306 patients < 18 years old admitted to a pediatric cardiac ICU after surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for congenital heart disease. Persistent MODS, defined as dysfunction of two or more organ systems on postoperative day 5, was the primary outcome. PERSEVERE biomarkers were collected 4 and 12 h after CPB. Classification and regression tree methodology were used to derive a model to assess the risk of persistent MODS. RESULTS The optimal model containing interleukin-8 (IL-8), chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3), and age as predictor variables had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.86 (0.81-0.91) for differentiating those with or without persistent MODS and a negative predictive value of 99% (95-100). Ten-fold cross-validation of the model yielded a corrected AUROC of 0.75 (0.68-0.84). CONCLUSIONS We present a novel risk prediction model to assess the risk for development of multiple organ dysfunction after pediatric cardiac surgery requiring CPB. Pending prospective validation, our model may facilitate identification of a high-risk cohort to direct interventions and studies aimed at improving outcomes via mitigation of post-operative organ dysfunction.

Abstract
This viewpoint highlights the contributions of Dr. Ernest Mazzaferri, a prominent figure in the field of thyroid cancer care, who made significant contributions to the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Dr. Mazzaferri's first paper on thyroid cancer, published in 1977, established fundamental principles that remain fundamental to differentiated thyroid cancer management. He was an advocate of total thyroidectomy and of postoperative radioiodine therapy and contributed to improving thyroid fine needle aspiration techniques. Dr. Mazzaferri's leadership in developing guidelines for the management of thyroid cancer and thyroid nodules has been influential and widely accepted. His groundbreaking work established a systematic and data-driven approach to the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer that continues to shape the field of thyroid cancer care today. This Viewpoint reflects on his lasting impact ten years after his death.

Abstract
After Fontan operation, decreased venous capacitance and venoconstriction are adaptive mechanisms to maintain venous return and cardiac output. The consequent higher venous pressure may adversely impact end-organ function, exercise capacity and result in worse clinical outcomes. This pilot study evaluated the safety and effect of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN), a venodilator, on exercise capacity, peripheral venous pressure (PVP), and liver stiffness in patients with Fontan circulation. In this prospective single-arm trial, 15 individuals with Fontan circulation were evaluated at baseline and after 4 weeks of therapeutic treatment with ISDN. Primary aims were to assess the safety of ISDN and the effect on maximal exercise. We also aimed to evaluate the effect of ISDN on ultrasound-assessed liver stiffness, markers of submaximal exercise, and PVP at rest and peak exercise. Repeated measures t-tests were used to assess change in variables of interest in response to ISDN. Mean age was 23.5 ± 9.2 years (range 11.2-39.0 years), and 10/15 (67%) were male. There was no statistically significant change in peak VO2 (1401 ± 428 to 1428 ± 436 mL/min, p = 0.128), but VO2 at the anaerobic threshold increased (1087 ± 313 to 1115 ± 302 mL/min, p = 0.03). ISDN was also associated with a lower peak exercise PVP (22.5 ± 4.5 to 20.6 ± 3.0 mmHg, p = 0.015). Liver stiffness was lower with ISDN, though the difference was not statistically significant (2.3 ± 0.4 to 2.1 ± 0.5 m/s, p = 0.079). Of the patients completing the trial, mild headache was common (67%), but there were no major adverse events. Treatment with ISDN for 4 weeks is well-tolerated in patients with a Fontan circulation. ISDN is associated with an increase in VO2 at anaerobic threshold, lower peak PVP, and a trend toward lower liver stiffness. Larger, longer duration studies will be necessary to define the impact of ISDN on clinical outcomes in the Fontan circulation.Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov .

Abstract
PURPOSE Achieving effective anticoagulation during neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) without increasing the risk of hemorrhage remains challenging. The use of antithrombin III (AT-III) for this purpose has been examined, but studies have been limited to intermittent bolus dosing. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an institutionally developed AT-III continuous infusion protocol in neonates receiving ECMO for the treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). METHODS In this single center, retrospective study, all neonates with a CDH who received ECMO support during the study period were included. Data on anticoagulation labs and therapy, life-threatening bleeding, and circuit changes were analyzed. RESULTS Eleven patients were divided into two groups: patients with AT-III continuous infusion (n = 5) and without (n = 6). There were no differences in the gestational age (p = 0.29), sex (p = 1.00), ECMO duration (p = 0.59), or initial AT-III levels (p = 0.76) between groups. Patients in the AT-III infusion group had on average 18.5% higher AT-III levels (p < 0.0001). Patients receiving continuous AT-III infusions spent a significantly higher percentage of ECMO time within the therapeutic range, measured using anti-Factor Xa levels (64.9±4.2% vs. 29.1±8.57%, p = 0.008), and required fewer changes to the heparin infusion rate (6.48±0.88 vs 2.38±0.36 changes/day changes/day, p = 0.005). Multivariate analysis revealed continuous infusion of AT-III did not increase the rate of intracranial or surgical bleeding (p = 0.27). CONCLUSION AT-III as a continuous infusion in CDH neonates on ECMO provides a decreased need to modify heparin infusion and more consistent therapeutic anticoagulation without increasing the risk of life-threatening bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) are associated with poor outcomes in children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Our objective is to evaluate the impact of AKI and FO on pediatric patients receiving ECMO for cardiac pathology. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of the six-center Kidney Interventions During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (KIDMO) database, including only children who underwent ECMO for cardiac pathology. AKI was defined using Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) creatinine criteria. FO was defined as < 10% (FO-) vs. ≥ 10% (FO +) and was evaluated at ECMO initiation, peak during ECMO, and ECMO discontinuation. Primary outcomes were mortality and length of stay (LOS). RESULTS Data from 191 patients were included. Non-survivors (56%) were more likely to be FO + than survivors at peak ECMO fluid status and ECMO discontinuation. There was a significant interaction between AKI and FO. In the presence of AKI, the adjusted odds of mortality for FO + was 4.79 times greater than FO- (95% CI: 1.52-15.12, p = 0.01). In the presence of FO + , the adjusted odds of mortality for AKI + was 2.7 times higher than AKI- [95%CI: 1.10-6.60; p = 0.03]. Peak FO + was associated with a 55% adjusted relative increase in LOS [95%CI: 1.07-2.26, p = 0.02]. CONCLUSIONS The association of peak FO + with mortality is present only in the presence of AKI + . Similarly, AKI + is associated with mortality only in the presence of peak FO + . FO + was associated with LOS. Studies targeting fluid management have the potential to improve LOS and mortality outcomes. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been increasingly accepted as a noninvasive marker of regional tissue oxygenation despite concerns of imprecision and wide limits of agreement (LOA) with invasive oximetry. New generation absolute monitors may have improved accuracy compared with trend monitors. We sought to compare the concordance with invasive venous oximetry of a new generation absolute NIRS-oximeter (FORESIGHT ELITE; CASMED, Branford, CT) with a modern widely used trend monitor (INVOS 5100C; Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN). DESIGN Prospective single-center study. SETTING Tertiary pediatric heart center. PATIENTS Children undergoing elective cardiac catheterization under general anesthesia. Time-paired venous oximetry samples (jugular and renal) were compared with NIRS-derived oximetry by two monitors using regression and Bland-Altman analysis. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We enrolled 36 children (19 female, 10 cyanotic) with median age 4.1 years (25-75%, 2.5-7.8 yr) and weight 16.7 kg (12.3-29.1 kg). The absolute difference between NIRS-derived and invasive jugular oximetry was less than 10% in 67% of occasions for both monitors. Correlation was fair (Spearman rs = 0.40; p = 0.001) for the FORESIGHT ELITE and poor ( rs = 0.06; p = 0.71) for the INVOS 5100C. Bias and LOA were +6.7% (+22%, -9%) versus +1.3% (LOA = +24%, -21%), respectively. The absolute difference between NIRS-derived and invasive renal oximetry was less than 10% in 80% of occasions with moderate correlation ( rs = 0.57; p < 0.001) for the FORESIGHT ELITE and in 61% of occasions with moderate correlation ( rs = 0.58; p < 0.001) for the INVOS 5100C; bias and LOA were +3.6% (+19%, -12%) and -1.4 % (+27%, -30%), respectively. NIRS correlation with renal venous oximetry was worse for cyanotic versus noncyanotic patients ( p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Concordance and LOA of NIRS-derived oximetry with invasive venous oximetry in the cerebral and renal vascular beds was suboptimal for clinical decision-making. Cyanosis adversely affected NIRS performance in the renal site.

Abstract
Background: Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is an important cause of post-operative morbidity and mortality for children undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Dysregulated inflammation is widely regarded as a key contributor to bypass-related MODS pathobiology, with considerable overlap of pathways associated with septic shock. The pediatric sepsis biomarker risk model (PERSEVERE) is comprised of seven protein biomarkers of inflammation, and reliably predicts baseline risk of mortality and organ dysfunction among critically ill children with septic shock. We aimed to determine if PERSEVERE biomarkers and clinical data could be combined to derive a new model to assess the risk of persistent CPB-related MODS in the early post-operative period. Methods: This study included 306 patients <18 years old admitted to a pediatric cardiac ICU after surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for congenital heart disease. Persistent MODS, defined as dysfunction of two or more organ systems on postoperative day 5, was the primary outcome. PERSEVERE biomarkers were collected 4 and 12 hours after CPB. Classification and Regression Tree methodology was used to derive a model to assess the risk of persistent MODS. Results: The optimal model containing interleukin-8 (IL-8), chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3), and age as predictor variables, had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.86 (0.81-0.91) for differentiating those with or without persistent MODS, and a negative predictive value of 99% (95-100). Ten-fold cross-validation of the model yielded a corrected AUROC of 0.75. Conclusions: We present a novel risk prediction model to assess the risk for development of multiple organ dysfunction after pediatric cardiac surgery requiring CPB. Pending prospective validation, our model may facilitate identification of a high-risk cohort to direct interventions and studies aimed at improving outcomes via mitigation of post-operative organ dysfunction. Clinical Trial Registration Number: This study does not meet criteria for a clinical trial per the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform as no intervention was performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) may serve as a life-saving rescue therapy in critically ill children with respiratory failure. While survival rates of ECMO in children with secondary immunodeficiency is considered relatively poor, survival rates in children with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) has yet to be thoroughly investigated. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from children (29 days-18 years old). PID patients were identified by using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. SETTING Data were retrieved from Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry (1989-2018). INTERVENTIONS ECMO for a pulmonary support indication. The survival-to-discharge rate was calculated and factors influencing outcomes were compared between survivors and non-survivors. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 73 eligible ECMO runs were included. The survival-to-discharge rate in pediatric PID patients was 45.2%. No differences were noted in survival based on type of immunodeficiency (p = 0.42) or decade of support (p = 0.98). There was no difference in the rate of pre-ECMO infection in survivors versus non-survivors (p = 0.69). The survival-to-discharge rate in patients with a culture positive infection during the ECMO run was 45.0% versus 45.3% in those with no infection (p = 0.98). In multivariate analysis, only cardiac complications (OR 5.09, 95% CI: 1.15-22.53), pulmonary complications (OR: 13.00, 95% CI: 1.20-141.25), and neurologic complications (OR: 9.86, 95% CI: 1.64-59.21) were independently associated with increased mortality. CONCLUSION Children with a PID who require extracorporeal life support due to respiratory failure have a reasonable chance of survival and should be considered candidates for ECMO. The presence of a pre-ECMO infection should not be considered an ECMO contraindication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether weight gain velocity (g/kg/day) 30 days after the initiation of feeds after cardiac surgery and other clinical outcomes improve in infants with single ventricle physiology fed an exclusive human milk diet compared with a mixed human and bovine diet. STUDY DESIGN In this multicenter, randomized, single blinded, controlled trial, term neonates 7 days of age or younger with single ventricle physiology and anticipated cardiac surgical palliation within 30 days of birth were enrolled at 10 US centers. Both groups received human milk if fed preoperatively. During the 30 days after feeds were started postoperatively, infants in the intervention group received human milk fortified once enteral intake reached 60 mL/kg/day with a human milk-based fortifier designed for term neonates. The control group received standard fortification with formula once enteral intake reached 100 mL/kg/day. Perioperative feeding and parenteral nutrition study algorithms were followed. RESULTS We enrolled 107 neonates (exclusive human milk = 55, control = 52). Baseline demographics and characteristics were similar between the groups. The median weight gain velocity at study completion was higher in exclusive human milk vs control group (12 g/day [IQR, 5-18 g/day] vs 8 g/day [IQR, 0.4-14 g/day], respectively; P = .03). Other growth measures were similar between groups. Necrotizing enterocolitis of all Bell stages was higher in the control group (15.4 % vs 3.6%, respectively; P = .04). The incidence of other major morbidities, surgical complications, length of hospital stay, and hospital mortality were similar between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Neonates with single ventricle physiology have improved short-term growth and decreased risk of NEC when receiving an exclusive human milk diet after stage 1 surgical palliation. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (www. CLINICALTRIALS gov, Trial ID: NCT02860702).

Abstract
Thyroid eye disease (TED) remains challenging for clinicians to evaluate and manage. Novel therapies have recently emerged, and their specific roles are still being determined. Most patients with TED develop eye manifestations while being treated for hyperthyroidism and under the care of endocrinologists. Endocrinologists, therefore, have a key role in diagnosis, initial management, and selection of patients who require referral to specialist care. Given that the need for guidance to endocrinologists charged with meeting the needs of patients with TED transcends national borders, and to maximize an international exchange of knowledge and practices, the American Thyroid Association and European Thyroid Association joined forces to produce this consensus statement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Significant renal insufficiency is identified as a risk factor for post-transplantation mortality in pediatric heart transplant recipients. This study evaluates simultaneous heart-kidney transplantation listing outcomes compared with heart transplant for pediatric candidates with significant renal insufficiency. METHODS The United Network for Organ Sharing registry was searched for patients (January 1987 to March 2020) who were simultaneously listed for a heart-kidney transplantation or for heart transplant with significant renal insufficiency at the time of listing. Significant renal insufficiency was defined as needing dialysis or having a low estimated glomerular filtration rate (<40 mL/min). Survival was calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS A total of 427 cases were identified; 109 were listed for heart-kidney transplantation, and 318 were listed for heart transplant alone. Median time on the waitlist was 101 days (interquartile range, 28-238) for heart-kidney transplantation listings compared with 39 days (14-86) and 23.5 days (6-51) for heart transplant recipients with a low estimated glomerular filtration rate (P = .002) or on dialysis (P < .001), respectively. Of all heart-kidney transplantation listings, 66% (n = 71) received a transplant compared with 54% (n = 173) of heart transplantation with significant renal insufficiency (P = .005) with a mean survival of 14.6 years (12.7-16.4 years) for heart transplant without significant renal insufficiency at transplantation and 7.6 years (5.4-9.9 years) for heart transplant with significant renal insufficiency at transplantation. At 1 year after listing, 69% of heart-kidney transplantation listed recipients were alive, compared with 51% of heart transplant listed recipients (P = .029). Heart-kidney transplantation recipients had better 1-year post-transplantation survival (86%) than heart transplantation with significant renal insufficiency at transplant (66%) (P = .001). There was no significant difference in the 1- and 5-year survivals of those undergoing heart transplantation listed with significant renal insufficiency but no significant renal insufficiency at the time of transplant (89% and 78%) and heart-kidney transplantation recipients (86% and 81%; P = .436). CONCLUSIONS Pediatric candidates with significant renal insufficiency listed for heart-kidney transplantation have superior waitlist and post-transplantation outcomes compared with those listed for heart transplant alone. Patients with significant renal insufficiency should be listed for heart-kidney transplantation, however; if their renal function improves significantly, heart transplant alone appears judicious.

Abstract
This manuscript is one component of a larger series of articles produced by the Neonatal Cardiac Care Collaborative that are published in this supplement of Pediatrics. In this review article, we summarize the contemporary physiologic principles, evaluation, and management of acute care issues for neonates with complex congenital heart disease. A multidisciplinary team of authors was created by the Collaborative's Executive Committee. The authors developed a detailed outline of the manuscript, and small teams of authors were assigned to draft specific sections. The authors reviewed the literature, with a focus on original manuscripts published in the last decade, and drafted preliminary content and recommendations. All authors subsequently reviewed and edited the entire manuscript until a consensus was achieved. Topics addressed include cardiopulmonary interactions, the pathophysiology of and strategies to minimize the development of ventilator-induced low cardiac output syndrome, common postoperative physiologies, perioperative bleeding and coagulation, and common postoperative complications.

Abstract
Importance Preventing in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) likely represents an effective strategy to improve outcomes for critically ill patients, but feasibility of IHCA prevention remains unclear. Objective To determine whether a low-technology cardiac arrest prevention (CAP) practice bundle decreases IHCA rate. Design, Setting, and Participants Pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) teams from the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC4) formed a collaborative learning network to implement the CAP bundle consistent with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement framework; 15 hospitals implemented the bundle voluntarily. Risk-adjusted IHCA incidence rates were analyzed across 2 time periods, 12 months (baseline) and 18 months after CAP implementation (intervention) using difference-in-differences (DID) regression to compare 15 CAP and 16 control PC4 hospitals that chose not to participate in CAP but had IHCA rates tracked in the PC4 registry. Patients deemed at high risk for IHCA, based on a priori evidence-based criteria and empirical hospital-specific criteria, were selected to receive the CAP bundle. Data were collected from July 2018 to December 2019, and data were analyzed from March to August 2020. Interventions CAP bundle included 5 elements developed to promote increased situational awareness and communication among bedside clinicians to recognize and mitigate deterioration in high-risk patients. Main Outcomes and Measures Risk-adjusted IHCA incidence rate across all CICU admissions (IHCA events divided by all admissions). Results The bundle was activated in 2664 of 10 510 CAP hospital admissions (25.3%); admission characteristics were similar across study periods. There was a 30% relative reduction in risk-adjusted IHCA incidence rate at CAP hospitals (intervention period: 2.6%; 95% CI, 2.2-2.9; baseline: 3.7%; 95% CI, 3.1-4.0), but no change at control hospitals (intervention period: 2.7%; 95% CI, 2.3-2.9; baseline: 2.7%; 95% CI, 2.2-3.0). DID analysis confirmed significantly reduced odds of IHCA among all admissions at CAP hospitals compared with control hospitals during the intervention period vs baseline (odds ratio, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.56-0.91; P = .01). DID odds ratios were 0.72 (95% CI, 0.53-0.98) for the surgical subgroup, 0.74 (95% CI, 0.48-1.14) for the medical subgroup, and 0.72 (95% CI, 0.50-1.03) for the high-risk admission subgroup at CAP hospitals after intervention. All-cause risk-adjusted mortality rate did not change after intervention. Conclusions and Relevance Implementation of this CAP bundle led to significant IHCA reduction across multiple pediatric CICUs. Future studies may determine if this bundle can be effective in other critically ill populations.

Abstract
We evaluate the validity of cardiac index (CI) measurements utilizing the Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor (USCOM), a non-invasive Doppler ultrasound device, by comparing measurements to cardiac catheterization-derived CI measurements in patients with single-ventricle physiology. USCOM measurements were repeated three times for each patient at the beginning of a cardiac catheterization procedure for twenty-six patients undergoing elective pre-Glenn or pre-Fontan catheterization. CI was measured by USCOM and was calculated from cardiac catheterization data using Fick's method. Bland-Altman analysis for CI showed bias of 0.95 L/min/m2 with the 95% limits of agreement of - 1.85 and 3.75. Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.89 (p < 0.001) indicating a strong positive relationship between USCOM and cardiac catheterization CI measurements. When excluding two patients with significant dilation of the neo-aortic valve (z-score > + 5), the bias improved to 0.66 L/min/m2 with the 95% limits of agreement of - 1.38 and 2.70. Percent error of limits of agreement was 34%. There was excellent intra-operator reproducibility of USCOM CI measurements with an intra-class coefficient of 0.96. We demonstrate the use of USCOM to measure CI in patients with single-ventricle physiology for the first time, showing acceptable agreement of the CI measurements between USCOM and cardiac catheterization with a high intra-operator reproducibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of advanced practice providers (APPs) in pediatric critical care has increased dramatically over recent years, leading to increased opportunities to lead resuscitation teams during pediatric emergent events. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to better understand the emergency leadership experience, training, and education that pediatric cardiac intensive care unit APPs receive. METHODS This study was a cross-sectional descriptive studying using survey responses. The self-administered survey was administered to APP and attending physician members of the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society. Survey results were analyzed. RESULTS One hundred seven pediatric cardiac intensive care unit APPs (n = 53) and attending physicians (n = 54) responded to the survey. Half of APPs felt that attendings allowed APPs to lead emergent events, and 50.9% had never functioned in the team leader role. Most respondents (77.5%) rated their comfort functioning in the role during emergent situations as moderate or lower. Increased APP experience level was associated with a higher number of codes led, increased comfort leading codes, and improved mental model sharing (all Ps < .0001). The number of codes an APP had previously led was associated with increased comfort leading codes (P < .0001) and mental model sharing (P = .0002). One-third of attendings said they allow APPs to lead codes in their unit. Half of attendings who do not allow APPs to function as the team leader would follow formal training. DISCUSSION Opportunities for APPs to function as team leaders during emergent events continue to increase. A leadership educational program would be beneficial to pediatric critical care APPs. It may also have the additional benefit of improving physician comfort with APPs leading code events and patient outcomes.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) are common complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The purpose of this study was to characterize AKI and FO in children receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR). We performed a multicenter retrospective study of children who received eCPR. AKI was assessed during ECMO and FO defined as <10% [FO-] vs. ≥10% [FO+] evaluated at ECMO initiation and discontinuation. A composite exposure, defined by a four-group discrete phenotypic classification [FO-/AKI-, FO-/AKI+, FO+/AKI-, FO+/AKI+] was also evaluated. Primary outcome was mortality and hospital length of stay (LOS) among survivors. 131 patients (median age 29 days (IQR:9, 242 days); 51% men and 82% with underlying cardiac disease) were included. 45.8% survived hospital discharge. FO+ at ECMO discontinuation, but not AKI was associated with mortality [aOR=2.3; 95% CI: 1.07-4.91]. LOS for FO+ patients was twice as long as FO- patients, irrespective of AKI status [(FO+/AKI+ (60 days; IQR: 49-83) vs. FO-/AKI+ (30 days, IQR: 19-48 days); P = 0.01]. FO+ at ECMO initiation and discontinuation was associated with an adjusted 66% and 50% longer length of stay respectively. Prospective studies that target timing and strategy of fluid management, including its removal in children receiving ECPR are greatly needed.

Abstract
CONTEXT The nature of the relationship between serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels and higher cognitive abilities is unclear, especially within the normal reference range and in the younger population. OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between serum TSH levels and mental health and sleep quality parameters (fluid intelligence [Gf], MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination), depression scores, and, finally, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores (working memory, processing speed, and executive function) in young adults. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of the data from the Human Connectome Project (HCP). The HCP consortium is seeking to map human brain circuits systematically and identify their relationship to behavior in healthy adults. Included were 391 female and 412 male healthy participants aged 22-35 years at the time of the screening interview. We excluded persons with serum TSH levels outside the reference range (0.4-4.5 mU/L). TSH was transformed logarithmically (log TSH). All the key variables were normalized and then linear regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between log TSH as a cofactor and Gf as the dependent variable. Finally, a machine learning method, random forest regression, predicted Gf from the dependent variables (including alcohol and tobacco use). The main outcome was normalized Gf (nGf) and Gf scores. RESULTS Log TSH was a significant co-predictor of nGF in females (β = 0.31(±0.1), P < .01) but not in males. Random forest analysis showed that the model(s) had a better predictive value for females (r = 0.39, mean absolute error [MAE] = 0.81) than males (r = 0.24, MAE = 0.77). CONCLUSION Higher serum TSH levels might be associated with higher Gf scores in young women.

Abstract
Approximately one in every 700 babies in the United States is born with Down syndrome, or 0.14%. Children with Down syndrome have cognitive impairment and congenital malformations necessitating frequent occurrences of general anesthesia and surgery. The thoughtful perioperative care of children with Down syndrome is relevant and acutely complex for the pediatric anesthesiologist. Behavior, sedation, hypotonia, upper airway obstruction, venous access, and bradycardia are omnipresent concerns apart from the surgical pathology. Down syndrome is also associated with autonomic nervous system dysfunction, a comorbidity that is overlooked in discussions of perioperative care and is described thus far in adults. Autonomic nervous system function or dysfunction may explain the phenotypical features of the perioperative challenges listed above. For this reason, understanding the development and measurement of autonomic nervous system function is important for the pediatric anesthesiologist. Definition and quantification of sympathetic and parasympathetic function will be reviewed.

Abstract
Background Dysregulation of complement system is thought to be a major player in development of multi-organ damage and adverse outcomes in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to examine associations between complement system activity and development of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Materials and Methods In this multicenter, international study, complement as well as inflammatory and thrombotic parameters were analyzed in COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization at one US and two Hungarian centers. The primary endpoint was development of severe AKI defined by KDIGO stage 2+3 criteria, while the secondary endpoint was need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). Complement markers with significant associations with endpoints were then correlated with a panel of inflammatory and thrombotic biomarkers and assessed for independent association with outcome measures using logistic regression. Results A total of 131 hospitalized COVID-19 patients (median age 66 [IQR, 54–75] years; 54.2% males) were enrolled, 33 from the US, and 98 from Hungary. There was a greater prevalence of complement over-activation and consumption in those who developed severe AKI and need for RRT during hospitalization. C3a/C3 ratio was increased in groups developing severe AKI (3.29 vs. 1.71; p < 0.001) and requiring RRT (3.42 vs. 1.79; p < 0.001) in each cohort. Decrease in alternative and classical pathway activity, and consumption of C4 below reference range, as well as elevation of complement activation marker C3a above the normal was more common in patients progressing to severe AKI. In the Hungarian cohort, each standard deviation increase in C3a (SD = 210.1) was independently associated with 89.7% increased odds of developing severe AKI (95% CI, 7.6–234.5%). Complement was extensively correlated with an array of inflammatory biomarkers and a prothrombotic state. Conclusion Consumption and dysregulation of complement system is associated with development of severe AKI in COVID-19 patients and could represent a promising therapeutic target for reducing thrombotic microangiopathy in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Thyroid autoimmunity has been associated with differentiated thyroid cancer although multiple potential biases might have influenced the results of previous studies. METHODS We conducted a case-control study nested within the cohort of US active-duty personnel 1996-2014 to assess the association between thyroid autoimmunity, defined by serology, and thyroid cancer diagnosis. The primary exposure was thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody status 7-10 years before the thyroid cancer index date. We also assessed whether diagnosis of thyroid autoimmunity mediated any associations identified and if thyroid cancer features differed by autoimmunity status. RESULTS Among 451 incident cases of papillary thyroid cancer and matched controls (median age 36 years, 61.4% men), TPO antibody positivity (v negative) 7-10 years prediagnosis was associated with thyroid cancer (odds ratio [OR] 1.90 [95% CI, 1.33 to 2.70]). Exploratory analyses suggested an increasing risk of thyroid cancer with higher TPO antibody titer (TPO antibody 550-1,399 IU/mL: OR 2.95 [95% CI, 1.37 to 6.36]; and ≥ 1,400 IU/mL: OR 3.91 [95% CI, 1.66 to 9.24]). Positive TPO antibody status remained associated with thyroid cancer after those with diagnosed autoimmunity were excluded, and the association was not mediated by diagnosis of thyroid autoimmunity. Among the cases with diagnosed autoimmunity, 58% thyroid cancers were ≤ 10 mm diameter. CONCLUSION Longstanding prior thyroid autoimmunity up to 10 years before thyroid cancer diagnosis was associated with papillary thyroid cancer risk. The results could not be fully explained by diagnosis of thyroid autoimmunity although when autoimmunity had been identified, thyroid cancers were diagnosed at a very early stage.

Abstract
Background:Reliable prediction of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) and related poor outcomes has the potential to optimize treatment. The purpose of this study was to modify the renal angina index in pediatric cardiac surgery to predict severe AKI and related poor outcomes. Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective study with the population divided into a derivation and validation cohort to assess the performance of a modified renal angina index assessed at 8 h after cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) admission to predict a complex outcome of severe day 3 AKI or related poor outcomes (ventilation duration >7 days, CICU length of stay >14 days, and mortality). The derivation sample was used to determine the optimal cut-off value. Results: There were 298 and 299 patients in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. The incidence of severe day 3 AKI and the complex outcome was 1.7% and 28% in the derivation and validation cohort. The sensitivity analysis for fulfillment of renal angina was a score >8 with a sensitivity of 63%, specificity of 73%, and negative predictive value of 83%. The cardiac renal angina index predicted the composite outcome with an area under the curve of 0.7 (95% confidence interval: 0.62-0.78). Renal angina patients had a significantly higher probability of the complex outcome when compared to individual risk and injury categories. Conclusions: We operationalized the renal angina index for use after cardiac surgery. Further revision and modification of the construct with integration of biomarkers in a prospective cohort are necessary to refine the prediction model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In the vast majority of Children's Hospitals, the critically ill patient can be found in one of three locations: the PICU, the neonatal ICU, and the cardiac ICU. Training, certification, and maintenance of certification for neonatology and critical care medicine are over seen by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and American Board of Pediatrics. There is no standardization of training or oversight of certification and maintenance of certification for pediatric cardiac critical care. DATA SOURCES The curricula from the twenty 4th year pediatric cardiac critical care training programs were collated, along with the learning objectives from the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society published "Curriculum for Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Medicine." STUDY SELECTION This initiative is endorsed by the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society as a first step toward Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education oversight of training and American Board of Pediatrics oversight of maintenance of certification. DATA EXTRACTION A taskforce was established of cardiac intensivists, including the directors of all 4th year pediatric cardiac critical care training programs. DATA SYNTHESIS Using modified Delphi methodology, learning objectives, rotational requirements, and institutional requirements for providing training were developed. CONCLUSIONS In the current era of increasing specialized care in pediatric cardiac critical care, standardized training for pediatric cardiac critical care is paramount to optimizing outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury occurs commonly following congenital heart surgery and is associated with adverse outcomes. This study represents the first multicenter study of neonatal cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. We aimed to describe the epidemiology, including perioperative predictors and associated outcomes of this important complication. DESIGN This Neonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network study is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of consecutive neonates less than 30 days. Neonatal modification of The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria was used. Associations between cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury stage and outcomes (mortality, length of stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation) were assessed through multivariable regression. SETTING Twenty-two hospitals participating in Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium. PATIENTS Twenty-two-thousand forty neonates who underwent major cardiac surgery from September 2015 to January 2018. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury occurred in 1,207 patients (53.8%); 983 of 1,657 in cardiopulmonary bypass patients (59.3%) and 224 of 583 in noncardiopulmonary bypass patients (38.4%). Seven-hundred two (31.3%) had maximum stage 1, 302 (13.5%) stage 2, 203 (9.1%) stage 3; prevalence of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury peaked on postoperative day 1. Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury rates varied greatly (27-86%) across institutions. Preoperative enteral feeding (odds ratio = 0.68; 0.52-0.9) and open sternum (odds ratio = 0.76; 0.61-0.96) were associated with less cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury; cardiopulmonary bypass was associated with increased cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (odds ratio = 1.53; 1.01-2.32). Duration of cardiopulmonary bypass was not associated with cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury in the cardiopulmonary bypass cohort. Stage 3 cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury was independently associated with hospital mortality (odds ratio = 2.44; 1.3-4.61). No cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury stage was associated with duration of mechanical ventilation or length of stay. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury occurs frequently after neonatal cardiac surgery in both cardiopulmonary bypass and noncardiopulmonary bypass patients. Rates vary significantly across hospitals. Only stage 3 cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury is associated with mortality. Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury was not associated with any other outcomes. Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria may not precisely define a clinically meaningful renal injury phenotype in this population.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Over the last 1-2 decades, patients and physicians have preferred antithyroid drug therapy as the initial treatment of Graves' disease, rather than radioactive iodine or surgery. More recently, the concept of long-term antithyroid drug therapy (LTADT; >24 months of treatment) has also become increasingly popular. RECENT FINDINGS Data from cohort studies and a prospective randomized trial suggest that LTATD therapy is safe and is associated with a higher chance of remission from Graves' disease than is shorter-term therapy. Also, LTADT may be associated with better quality of life and other clinical outcomes compared to radioiodine and surgery. SUMMARY Long-term antithyroid drug therapy is appropriate for children and young adults. This approach is a reasonable option in those who are doing well on a stable low dose of antithyroid drug therapy, and especially those who wish to avoid definitive treatment with radioactive iodine or surgery, given their inherent risks and need for lifelong hormonal replacement therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to characterize acute kidney injury (AKI), fluid overload (FO), and renal replacement therapy (RRT) utilization by diagnostic categories and examine associations between these complications and mortality by category. METHODS To test our hypotheses, we conducted a retrospective multicenter, cohort study including 446 neonates (categories: 209 with cardiac disease, 114 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia [CDH], 123 with respiratory disease) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2011. RESULTS AKI, FO, and RRT each varied by diagnostic category. AKI and RRT receipt were most common in those neonates with cardiac disease. Subjects with CDH had highest peak %FO (51% vs. 28% cardiac vs. 32% respiratory; p < 0.01). Hospital survival was 55% and varied by diagnostic category (45% cardiac vs. 48% CDH vs. 79% respiratory; p < 0.001). A significant interaction suggested risk of mortality differed by diagnostic category in the presence or absence of AKI. In its absence, diagnosis of CDH (vs. respiratory disease) (OR 3.04, 95% CL 1.14-8.11) independently predicted mortality. In all categories, peak %FO (OR 1.20, 95% CL 1.11-1.30) and RRT receipt (OR 2.12, 95% CL 1.20-3.73) were independently associated with mortality. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS Physiologically distinct ECMO diagnoses warrant individualized treatment strategies given variable incidence and effects of AKI, FO, and RRT by category on mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE When patients deteriorate after decannulation from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a second run of extracorporeal support may be considered. However, repeat cannulation can be difficult and poor outcomes associated with multiple ECMO runs are a concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes and identify factors associated with survival and mortality in cases of multiple runs of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry. SETTING The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization's registry was queried for neonates, children, and adults receiving 2 or more runs of ECMO during the same hospitalization, for any indication, from 1998 to 2015. PATIENTS 1,818 patients from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry. RESULTS Of the 1,818 patients, 1,648 underwent 2 runs and 170 underwent 3 or more runs of ECMO. The survival to discharge rate was 36.7% for 2 runs and 29.4% for 3 or more runs. No significant differences in survival were detected in analysis by decade of ECMO run (p = 0.21). Pediatric patients had less mortality than adults (OR: 0.45, 95%CI: 0.24-0.82). Cardiac support on the first run portrayed worse mortality than pulmonary support regardless of final run indication (OR:1.38, 95%CI: 1.09-1.75). Across all age groups, patients receiving pulmonary support on the last run tended to have higher survival rates regardless of support type on the first run. The only first run complication independently predictive of mortality on the final run was renal complications (OR: 1.60, 95%CI: 1.28-1.99). CONCLUSIONS Though the use of multiple runs of ECMO is growing, outcomes remain poor for most cohorts. Survival decreases with each additional run. Patients requiring additional runs for a pulmonary indication should be considered prime candidates. Renal complications on the first run significantly increases the risk of mortality on subsequent runs, and as such, careful consideration should be applied in these cases.

Abstract
Iodine-123/iodine-131 (123I/131I)-metaiodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) scan is an established tool for the localization and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors such as paragangliomas (PGL). To minimize thyroid irradiation by the radioactive iodine in the mIBG preparation, blockade of thyroidal iodine uptake with high doses of stable iodine used to be given routinely as part of all mIBG protocols. As 123I is now more frequently utilized than 131I, concern about thyroid radiation has lessened and thyroid blockade is often considered unnecessary. However, in certain situations, the lack of thyroid blockade can significantly impact treatment decisions. This report describes 2 patients who had mediastinal masses incidentally discovered on CT scans, and on further evaluation were found to have symptoms suggesting catecholamine excess with mildly elevated plasma normetanephrine levels. 123I-mIBG scans were performed without thyroid blockade, which demonstrated accumulation of tracer in the masses that were therefore deemed positive for PGL. Both patients underwent surgical resection of the masses with their surgical pathology revealing ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT). These cases illustrate that if appropriate thyroid blockade is not performed, ETT concentrating radioiodine from mIBG can lead to falsely positive mIBG scans and unnecessary surgical procedures. We conclude that in the setting of a mass suspicious for PGL in a location potentially representing ETT, such as the mediastinum, thyroid blockade should be employed for mIBG protocols to avoid false positive scans caused by ETT.
