Multicenter StudyRacial disparities in failure-to-rescue among children undergoing congenital heart surgery.
To determine if racial/ethnic disparities exist among children undergoing congenital heart surgery, using failure-to-rescue (FTR) as a measure of hospital-based quality. ⋯ Black children and children of other race/ethnicity had higher rates of mortality after experiencing a complication. This suggests that racial disparities may exist in hospital-based cardiac care or response to care.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyA randomized clinical trial of therapeutic hypothermia mode during transport for neonatal encephalopathy.
To determine if temperature regulation is improved during neonatal transport using a servo-regulated cooling device when compared with standard practice. ⋯ Cooling using a servo-regulated device provides more predictable temperature management during neonatal transport than does usual care for outborn newborns with neonatal encephalopathy.
