The Rio Tinto Children’s Diabetes Centre acknowledges the importance of those living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), those that care for them and the type 1 diabetes community (T1D community) in sharing your lived-experience.
At CliniKids, we offer a therapy called CUES (Coping with Uncertainty in Everyday Situations) for parents of autistic kids.
A new study has found a common asthma drug is effective for some very premature babies who go on to suffer from lung complications.
Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is the most common cause of childhood sepsis contributing to pediatric intensive care unit admission. The cost of adult SAB hospitalization is well described globally, but limited costing information is available for children. To bridge this knowledge gap, we investigated the cost of hospitalization in children with SAB in Australia.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant cause of respiratory infections in young children. Since 2021, RSV has been a notifiable disease in Australia. However, current surveillance systems focus on hospitalised RSV, with limited surveillance at a community level through primary care clinics. This approach only captures RSV requiring hospitalisation. Less severe illnesses, while not captured, may have significant social and economic impacts including the associated cost of care and absenteeism. The aim of this study is to establish an understanding of the broader burden of RSV in young children in a community setting.
Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of bacteremia, yet the epidemiology and predictors of poor outcome remain inadequately defined in childhood. ISAIAH (Invasive Staphylococcus aureus Infections and Hospitalizations in children) is a prospective, cross-sectional study of S. aureus bacteremia in children hospitalized in Australia and New Zealand over 24 months.
These data support that children are not just 'little adults' in the AMR era, and analyses by age group are important to detect differences in antibiotic susceptibility
This study provides evidence to support annual inactivated influenza vaccine administration to children following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant
We have quantified the relative influence of perinatal risk factors associated with skin infection hospitalisations in WA children
A world-first clinical trial has shown young people with type 1 diabetes have better glycaemic control and quality of life while on hybrid closed loop (HCL) systems versus conventional treatments, Australian endocrinologists say.
