Emergency department evaluation of transplanted children with COVID-19.
Children usually have an asymptomatic or mild course of SARS-CoV-2 infection, studies in immunocompromised patients have shown a different evolution. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, laboratory, and radiologic manifestations of pediatric solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. ⋯ In our study, we found that the clinical course and outcome of SOT and HSCT pediatric patients with COVID-19 were generally favorable.

Multicenter Study
The association between blood glucose levels on arrival at the hospital and patient outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A multicenter cohort study.
This study aimed to investigate the association between blood glucose levels on arrival at the hospital and 1-month survival and favorable neurological outcomes in patients with OHCA using a large Japanese dataset. ⋯ Blood glucose level of 180-299 mg/dL on arrival at the hospital was significantly associated with 1-month survival and favorable neurological outcomes compared to blood glucose level of 80-179 mg/dL in patients with OHCA.
