Comparative StudyPoint-of-Care Ultrasonography for the Diagnosis of Pediatric Soft Tissue Infection.
To determine the test characteristics of point-of-care ultrasonography for the identification of a drainable abscess and to compare the test characteristics of ultrasonography with physical examination. In addition, we sought to measure the extent to which ultrasonography impacts clinical management of children with skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). ⋯ Point-of-care ultrasonography demonstrates excellent test characteristics for the identification of skin abscess and has superior test characteristics compared with physical examination alone.

Amount of Antenatal Care Days in a Context of Effective Regionalization of Very Preterm Deliveries.
To evaluate the amount of antenatal care days in level III hospitals caused by regionalization of very preterm deliveries. ⋯ The costs of regionalization of very preterm deliveries were low, as measured by antenatal care days. Regionalization did not increase the antenatal length of stay in very preterm deliveries.
