A new #NCHID Neonatal Research Network study in @jama.com#NCHIDshows that routinely treating PDA in stable preterm infants with medications like NSAIDs or acetaminophen offers no benefit — and may actually increase the risk of death compared to expectant management. https://bit.ly/44H1Vkr #Neonatology

Nationwide Children’s Hospital was just awarded $16 million for a study on school-based suicide prevention programs. https://nbc4i.co/494bWdZ?utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky_ 

A new study tested a tailored post-Kasai protocol where steroids weren’t routine — they were triggered by stool color + signs of inflammation. The approach was linked to lower bilirubin at 3 mo & better 2-year native liver survival, without more complications. https://bit.ly/3LdnOkE

As a part of a $1.65 million investment in early-stage pediatric cancer research, CancerFree KIDS donated $650,000 to Nationwide Children's Hospital.
