Short-Term Neurodevelopmental Outcome in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: The Impact of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Timing of Repair.
The purpose of this study was to assess the need and timing of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in relation to congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair as modifiers of short-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. ⋯ Need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivors is associated with worse neurocognitive and neuromotor outcome. Need for congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is associated with deficits in multiple domains. Overall time on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation did not impact neurodevelopmental outcome.

To describe growth trends in the number of programs, positions, and applicants in pediatric critical care medicine fellowship training as part of the Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Training Study. ⋯ For the period 2004 to 2016, there was a substantial increase in positions and applicants applying for training in pediatric critical care medicine. We document an increase in demand (i.e., applicants) that has been matched by an increase in supply (i.e., positions) for pediatric critical care medicine fellowship training. The nearly complete use of the National Resident Matching Program for placing applicants in training positions in pediatric critical care medicine suggests that these data can be used to inform workforce analysis in pediatric critical care medicine.
