Comparison of Different Screening Methods for Hypertension in Han Adolescents
The aim of this study was to compare different methods of screening for hypertension in Han adolescents. We analyzed data on 3136 Han adolescents (1601 boys and 1535 girls) aged 13 to 17 years from the adolescents hypertension survey of Qinhuangdao in 2006. The blood pressure was classified as without hypertension and with hypertension, consistent with the 2004 Working Group on High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents guidelines and the selected screening methods. Sensitivity and specificity were then calculated according to gender range. Somu’s formulas and the table proposed by Chiolero had low sensitivities...

Developmental Screening With Spanish-Speaking Families in a Primary Care Setting
Cultural beliefs may influence parents’ willingness to raise concerns on a developmental screener. Our study evaluated the performance of the Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS) in an urban community health center where 75% of families are Spanish speaking. Our primary outcome was the presence of parent-reported concerns either in the medical record or on the PEDS before the PEDS was introduced compared with after it became routine care (post-PEDS). Covariates included family language and child age, gender, and risk status. The adjusted odds of a concern being identified was 1.5 times greater in ...

A Narrative Synthesis of the Components of and Evidence for Patient- and Family-Centered Care
A narrative synthesis was conducted to determine typical patient- and family-centered care (PFCC) components and their link to outcomes in pediatric populations. 68 studies with PFCC interventions and experimental designs were included. Study features were synthesized based on 5 core PFCC components (i.e., education from the provider to the patient and/or family, information sharing from the family to the provider, social-emotional support, adapting care to match family background, and/or s decision-making) and 4 outcome categories (health status; the experience, knowledge, and attitudes of the patient/family; patient/fami...

Using Clinical Data to Predict Accurate ADHD Diagnoses Among Urban Children
Diagnosing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) requires reports of child behavior from 2 settings—most commonly home and school. Obtaining this information from teachers, however, is often challenging. We sought to determine if clinical data, supplementary to parent symptom scales, could be useful in predicting DSM-compliant diagnoses. Parents and teachers reported ADHD symptoms for 156 children using Vanderbilt scales; care managers collected clinical data; a team of specialists determined whether children met diagnostic criteria for ADHD. The ability of a parent Vanderbilt alone to predict an ADHD diagn...
