Evidence Derived From Randomized Trials Published
This small booklet summarizes some of the latest research on child health in developing countries: Evidence derived from all the randomized trials published over the last year
The aim is to make this information widely available to paediatricians, child health nurses, midwives, researchers, students and administrators in places where up-to-date health information is hard to find. It is hoped that such information will be helpful in reviewing treatment guidelines, clinical practice and public health approaches, and in teaching about paediatrics and evidence-based medicine.

WFPICCS Sepsis Survey
The International Pediatric Sepsis Initiative is a worldwide campaign to decrease the burden and ravages of sepsis in children. One of our goals is to promote early diagnosis and treatment of Pediatric patients with sepsis. As part of this initiative, we have created a survey to collect important information on the resources and procedures that your facility has available to provide in dealing with patients with Sepsis. This will assist us in understanding opportunities and obstacles and creating partnerships. At WFPICCS we appreciate your participation.
As part of the plan we will establish terms of reference to share the results and will be accepting new research questions to include in the survey.
You may open the survey in your web browser by clicking the link above. If the link above does not work, please try copying the link below (in its entirety) into your web browser:

Encuesta sobre Sepsis de la WFPICCS
La Iniciativa Pediátrica Internacional en Sepsis es una campaña a nivel mundial para reducir la carga y devastadoras consecuencias de Sepsis en niños. Uno de los objetivos es promover un diagnóstico y tratamiento temprano de casos infantiles de sepsis. Como parte de la iniciativa, hemos creado una encuesta para recabar importante información en los recursos y procedimientos que su centro de salud tiene disponible para atender pacientes con sepsis. Esto nos ayudará a entender oportunidades y obstáculos que se enfrentan, y a establecer colaboración entre instituciones.
En la Federación Mundial de Sociedades de Cuidado Pediátrico Intensivo y Crítico (WFPICCS por sus siglas en inglés) apreciamos su participación.
Como parte de nuestro plan estableceremos términos de referencia para compartir los resultados obtenidos y estaremos aceptando nuevos cuestionamientos de investigación.

FIRST international study of Nutrition Therapy in the PICU - now completed!
Over 30 centers from 12 countries participated in this unique effort to examine nutrition practices at the bedside in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients in the PICU. Over 525 patients were enrolled and detailed nutritional data were recorded using a remote data capture tool, by dieticians. The unique collaborative approach examined variables that describe current international practices related to assessment of nutritional requirements, mode of intake, barriers to enteral nutrition, supportive strategies utilized for intolerance, etc. Outcomes such as adequacy of caloric and protein intake, incidence of hospital acquired infections were examined in relation to achieving nutritional goals.
The results are illuminating and highlight several practice and knowledge gaps. The observations have allowed more focused investigations to be conducted. Participating PICUs will receive a benchmarking, individualized site-report, which allows comparison of practice at each center with the rest of the international cohort. This is expected to set up a series of quality improvement initiatives at individual sites. The next phase of this collaborative effort is planned for 2011 and is expected to address more focussed areas of nutritional practice.
Future collaborative efforts based on the results of this study will hopefully lead to practice improvements in this key (and neglected) area of critical care. We wish to extend an invitation to Centers with 8 or more PICU beds t join us for the next phase in 2011. We sincerely hope that we can look forward to working with you on this unique and exciting venture.

Therapeutic Persistence (TP) during Disaster Relief Missions: Scenarios
Children, women and the elderly are the most vulnerable populations in the event of a natural disaster. When empathic, ethical, sociological and demographical arguments are filtered out, there is no "economic" reason to give children an intensive care treatment during large disasters. Children can and will not contribute in the immediate rehabilitation and reconstruction of the country; instead the medical treatment will cost a lot of money and efforts that otherwise can be spend to rebuild the nation. There are no solid arguments to motivate the instauration of pediatric intensive care facilities in large disaster areas. But recent (Asian Tsunami 2004) retrospective studies show that men (fathers and husbands), families and even entire communities suffer shorter periods from traumatic stress disorders when their children and women could be saved. When they suffer shorter periods of anxiety, psychosis, panic attacks and lethargy, they will mobilize and assist the Western rehabilitation teams sooner. A local population that gets involved sooner in rehabilitation could perhaps lead to sooner withdrawal of foreign and highly expensive support.
This study looks for arguments among professionals interested in the matter of pediatric medical assistance during natural disasters. Especially “what” do we define as pediatric critical care in disaster settings, “how far” would we go and for “how long”. For that purpose 21 scenarios have been edited, describing a disaster scene where “you” are involved in disaster medical assistance. We are not looking for answers on the medical treatment, we are looking for your attitude towards the proposed treatment and especially the consequences of the treatment per scenario. For that purpose you are asked to fill in a score.
As in real time situations we ask you not to think and overthink each scenario. Respond spontaneously. Imagine that you are far away from home, communication with home is scarce, you are tired, you feel dirty and you have seen a lot. You are with people you barely know and with them you have to discuss what to do and how far to go. Again: respond spontaneously. In that way it should not take you more than 20-30 minutes to fill in the scores. In the meantime you learn on natural disasters that actually happened (and always can strike again) or that are expected to happen within ? years.
If the number of respondents is large enough to perform statistical analysis, we can report on this inquiry. As there is little research on disaster assistance, this study could report on “how far, how long” we believe we have to go with kids in disaster areas. Consequently these attitudes can be compared with the content of a generic health kit: can you go “that far, that long” with what the WHO provides during a disaster? Finally: from the first data we already collected, we observe different “profiles” among the respondents. This prematurely suggests that scenarios perhaps could help in “profiling” the candidates of a disaster medical assistance team. Matching profiles in remote areas are probably in the best interest of both the patients and the disaster medical assistance team.
