Lung ultrasound to detect pneumothorax in children evaluated for acute chest pain in the emergency department: a prospective study
No full textWe addressed the accuracy of Lung Ultrasound (LUS) to detect pneumothorax in children with acute chest pain evaluated in the pediatric Emergency Department (pED).
Methods
We prospectively analyzed patients from 5 to 17 years of age with acute chest pain and clinical suspicion of pneumothorax (PNX) evaluated at a tertiary level pediatric hospital. After clinical examination and before Chest X-Ray (CXR), children underwent LUS to evaluate the presence of PNX.
Results
We enrolled 77 children, 44 (57,1 %) male, with median age of 10 years and 3 months (IQR 6 years and 9 months - 14 years and 2 months). Thirty (39%) children had interstitial lung disease; 20/77 (26%) had pneumonia with or without pleural effusions; 7/77 (9,1%) had thoracic trauma; 7/77 (9,1%) had a final diagnosis of myo/pericarditis and 13 (16,9%) received a final diagnosis of PNX. In all 13 patients LUS showed the “bar-code sign” while in 12 (92,3%) there was the lung point, giving a diagnosis of PNX. All cases were confirmed by CXR. The lung point had a sensitivity of 92,3% and a specificity of 100%, a positive predictive value of 100% and a negative predictive value of 98,4 % for the detection of PNX. The “bar-code sign” had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 100%, a positive predictive value of 100% and a negative predictive value of 100% for the detection of PNX.
Conclusions
LUS is highly accurate in detecting or excluding pneumothorax in children with acute chest pain evaluated in the pediatric emergency department. Importantly, both lung-point and M-mode need to be performed when PNX is suspected

Lithiania_children_violence_resilience_coping_trauma
No full textThe present dataset is about resilience, coping strategies and trauma-related symptoms in a group of Lithuanian children victims of violence. The measures employed were the Child Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28), the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC) and the Children Coping Strategy Checklist (Ayers, Sandler, West, & Roosa, 1996). Participants were 87 Lithuanian children, aged from 7 to 17 years (M = 11.63, SD = 2.73; range=7-17) victims of different types of violence and neglect, referred to 25 day-care centers across Lithuania specialized in child violence

Data for: Resilience and trauma-related outcomes in children victims of violence attending the Assisted Resilience Approach Therapy (ARAT)
No full textThe present data article presents a dataset about resilience and trauma-related outcomes in a group of Lithuanian children victims of violence, who took part in a resilience-focused therapy - the Assisted Resilience Approach Therapy (ARAT). The Child Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28) and the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC) were administered before and at the end of the treatment. Participants were 65 children (mean age = 13.03; range = 9-17) victims of different types of violence and neglect, referred to 25 day-care centers across Lithuania specialized in child violence. A structural equation modelling (SEM) was performed to test direct relationship between the resilience increase over the treatment and the trauma-related outcomes at the end of it, by controlling the direct effect of trauma-related symptoms at the baseline on the outcomes
