Assessment and treatment of short stature in pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease: a consensus statement.

Growth failure is a clinically important issue in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Many factors contribute to impaired growth in these children, including abnormalities in the growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis, malnutrition, acidosis, and renal bone disease. The management of growth failure in children with CKD is complicated by the presence of other disease-related complications requiring medical intervention. Despite evidence of GH efficacy and safety in this population, some practitioners and families have been reluctant to institute GH therapy, citing an unwillingness to comply with daily injections, reimbursement difficulties, or impending renal transplantation. Suboptimal attention to growth failure management may be further compounded by a lack of clinical guidelines for the appropriate assessment and treatment of growth failure in these children. This review of growth failure in children with CKD concludes with an algorithm developed by members of the consensus committee, outlining their recommendations for appropriate steps to improve growth and overall health outcomes in children with CKD.

Pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of Rasmussen encephalitis: a European consensus statement.

Rasmussen encephalitis (RE) is a rare but severe immune-mediated brain disorder leading to unilateral hemispheric atrophy, associated progressive neurological dysfunction and intractable seizures. Recent data on the pathogenesis of the disease, its clinical and paraclinical presentation, and therapeutic approaches are summarized. Based on these data, we propose formal diagnostic criteria and a therapeutic pathway for the management of RE patients.

Outpatient and home parenteral antibiotic therapy (OHPAT) in low-risk febrile neutropenia: consensus statement of a Belgian panel.

Febrile neutropenia requires adequate antibiotic treatment. A subgroup of patients are only at low risk for complications and could be treated at home/as outpatients (OHPAT) after a short initial admission for work up. This position paper by a Belgian panel of experts presents criteria defining low-risk in febrile neutropenia, gives an overview of the existing experience and examines the present obstacles to a more widespread use of OHPAT in this country.

Consensus statement on office-based treatment of opioid dependence using buprenorphine.

Buprenorphine and buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP) are newly approved for office-based treatment of opioid dependence. Federal and non-federal regulatory and monitoring agencies, national and international researchers, national professional organizations, researchers involved in monitoring, opioid treatment programs and the pharmaceutical industry met to synthesize and disseminate practical information to guide training, practice, monitoring, regulation and evaluation efforts with these medications. We performed a review of the literature, training curricula and practice guidelines and commissioned manuscripts describing recently completed, or still in progress, studies or field experiences with BUP treatment. A consensus process generated fifteen statements: (1) The federal government should collect baseline data on opioid-related deaths and morbidity to assess the effect of BUP on public health, (2) the patient limit for group practices should apply to individual physicians rather than group practices, (3 and 4) telephone and Internet-based physician and pharmacist support is needed, (5) clinicians who provide psychosocial services to opioid dependent patients should be informed of the role of BUP, (6) opioid-dependent patients should be instructed to present for induction in mild withdrawal, (7) the existing Center for Substance Abuse Treatment guidelines provide a reasonable induction protocol, (8) physicians should be prepared to use ancillary medications with BUP induction, (9) a physician or nurse must be available to the patient during the induction period, (10) concurrent counseling and support services are necessary, (11) detoxification without appropriate followup addiction treatment leads to rapid relapse and is not as effective as maintenance, (12) pregnant opioid-dependent women should be treated using good clinical practice including specialist addiction care and prenatal care, (13) BUP induction and withdrawal treatment may benefit from different designations for payment, (14) take-home medication options should be tailored to patients' needs, (15) there is a need for clinical and policy research in unique patient populations.

Consensus statement on emergency contraception.

Twenty-four experts from around the world, representing the fields of research, policy, communications, women's advocacy and medicine, gathered at the Rockefeller Foundation Conference Center in Bellagio, Italy, in April 1995 to discuss emergency contraception. The conference was hosted by South-to-South Cooperation in Reproductive Health and co-sponsored by the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Family Health International, the Population Council and the World Health Organization. The conference was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation.

Sideline preparedness for the team physician: consensus statement.

The objective of the Sideline Preparedness Statement is to provide physicians who are responsible for making decisions regarding the medical care of athletes with guidelines for identifying and planning for medical care and services at the site of practice or competition. It is not intended as a standard of care and should not be interpreted as such. The Sideline Preparedness Statement is only a guide, and as such, is of a general nature, consistent with the reasonable, objective practice of the health care professional. Individual treatment will turn on the specific facts and circumstances presented to the physician at the event. Adequate insurance should be in place to help protect the physician, the athlete, and the sponsoring organization. The Sideline Preparedness Statement was developed by a collaboration of six major professional associations concerned about clinical sports medicine issues; they have committed to forming an ongoing project-based alliance to bring together sports medicine organizations to best serve active people and athletes. The organizations are: American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American College of Sports Medicine, American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, and American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine.

Dietary recommendations for children and adolescents: a guide for practitioners: consensus statement from the American Heart Association.

Since the American Heart Association last presented nutrition guidelines for children, significant changes have occurred in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and nutrition behaviors in children. Overweight has increased, whereas saturated fat and cholesterol intake have decreased, at least as percentage of total caloric intake. Better understanding of children's cardiovascular risk status and current diet is available from national survey data. New research on the efficacy of diet intervention in children has been published. Also, increasing attention has been paid to the importance of nutrition early in life, including the fetal milieu. This scientific statement summarizes current available information on cardiovascular nutrition in children and makes recommendations for both primordial and primary prevention of cardiovascular disease beginning at a young age.

Collaboration in emergency medicine research: a consensus statement.

The role of collaboration in medical research and how it applies to emergency medicine research are discussed. The guidance of the Division of Health Sciences Policy of the Institute of Medicine is reviewed. Application of the principles of collaborative efforts and recognition of each individual's contribution are overviewed. Emergency physicians can and should be invaluable contributors to collaborative research. Collaborative research relationships, whether established at individual institutions or through national clinical trials, must be developed deliberately. The specialty of emergency medicine must take the necessary commitment of time and resources to ensure that these occur.
