    Abstract Background and objectives: Despite its routine use, it is unclear whether chest radiograph (CXR) is a cost-effective strategy in the workup of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the pediatric emergency department (ED). We sought to assess the costs of CAP episodes with and without CXR among children discharged from the ED.
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study within the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State ED and Inpatient Databases of children aged 3 months to 18 years with CAP discharged from any EDs in 8 states from 2014 to 2019. We evaluated total 28-day costs after ED discharge, including the index visit and subsequent care. Mixed-effects linear regression models adjusted for patient-level variables and illness severity were performed to evaluate the association between CXR and costs.
    Results: We evaluated 225c781 children with CAP, and 86.2% had CXR at the index ED visit. Median costs of the 28-day episodes, index ED visits, and subsequent visits were $314 (interquartile range [IQR] 208-497), $288 (IQR 195-433), and $255 (IQR 133-637), respectively. There was a $33 (95% confidence interval [CI] 22-44) savings over 28-days per patient for those who received a CXR compared with no CXR after adjusting for patient-level variables and illness severity. Costs during subsequent visits ($26 savings, 95% CI 16-36) accounted for the majority of the savings as compared with the index ED visit ($6, 95% CI 3-10).
    Conclusions: Performance of CXR for CAP diagnosis is associated with lower costs when considering the downstream provision of care among patients who require subsequent health care after initial ED discharge.

    Abstract Study objective: To determine whether insurance status can function as a sufficient proxy for socioeconomic status in emergency medicine research by examining the concordance between insurance status and direct socioeconomic status measures in a sample of pediatric patients.
    Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional pilot study of patients aged 5 to 17 years in the emergency department of a quaternary care children's hospital. Socioeconomic status was measured using the highest level of the caregiver's education (low: less than bachelor's degree; high: bachelor's or greater) and previous year household income (low: <$75,000; high: ≥$75,000). We calculated the misclassification rate of insurance status (low: public; high: private) using education and income as reference standards. Results were expressed as percentages with 95% confidence intervals.
    Results: In total, 300 patients were enrolled (median age 11 years, 44% female). Insurance status misclassified 23% (95% CI 18% to 28%) and 14% (95% CI 10% to 19%) of patients when using caregiver education and income, respectively, as reference standards.
    Conclusions: Insurance status misclassified socioeconomic status in up to 23% of pediatric patients, as measured by caregivers' education and income. Emergency medicine studies of pediatric patients using insurance as a covariate to adjust for socioeconomic status may need to consider this misclassification and the resulting potential for bias. These findings require confirmation in larger, more diverse samples, including adult patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Immediate complications of appendicitis are common, but the prevalence of long-term complications is uncertain.
    Methods: We studied all publicly-insured children in the US with uncomplicated or complicated appendicitis in 2018-2019 using administrative claims. The main outcome was late hospital care defined as hospitalization or abdominal procedure within 180 d of an appendicitis discharge, excluding interval appendectomies. Time to late hospital care was evaluated using Cox regression. We evaluated health-care expenditures arising from appendicitis episodes.
    Results: Among 95,942 children with appendicitis, 5727 (6.0%) had late hospital care, with 5062 requiring rehospitalization and 2012 (2.1%) surgery. The median time to late hospital care was 10 d (interquartile range 4-33). Age under 5 y (compared with >14 y, hazard ratio [HR] 1.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.70-2.08), complex chronic conditions (HR 2.35, 95% CI 2.13-2.59), and complicated appendicitis (HR 2.81, 95% CI 2.67, 2.96) were each associated with time to late hospital care. Expenditures over 180 d were a median $6553 and $19,589 respectively in those requiring no late hospital care versus those requiring it (P < 0.001).
    Conclusions: Late hospital care is uncommon in pediatric appendicitis but is costly. Prevention efforts should be targeted to the youngest, most complex children, and those with complicated appendicitis at presentation.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine age cutoffs that hospitals without pediatric inpatient beds apply when hospitalizing children.
    Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of patients <25 years old visiting emergency departments in 5 states in 2016 using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Emergency Department and Inpatient Databases. Hospitals were classified as adult (no pediatric inpatient beds) or pediatric capable (>0 pediatric beds). Referral rates were calculated for each year of life as transfers divided by transfers plus hospitalizations. Two age cutoffs were determined for defining pediatric patients: a specific cutoff (the age at which referral rates were significantly lower than those for younger patients) and an inclusive cutoff (the age at which referral rates differed most from those for younger patients).
    Results: Among 389 581 transfers and hospitalizations, 91 967 (23.6%) occurred in adult hospitals. Referral rates at adult hospitals were 86.0% at age 15, 80.6% at age 16, 72.0% at age 17, and 30.5% at age 18. The specific age cutoff was 16 because referral rates were lower than those for ages 0 to 15 (
    Conclusions: Children aged <16 years specifically define a population of pediatric patients, as defined by whether an adult hospital would hospitalize instead of transfer from an emergency department. Children aged <18 years inclusively define a population of pediatric patients. These age cutoffs may be used when studying patterns of national acute care for children.

    Abstract Objectives: The American Academy of Pediatrics published a guideline in 2011 recommending against the routine use of voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) in infants aged 2 to 24 months with first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI); however, the rates of VCUG for infants aged <2 months are unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the trend in VCUG performance during index hospitalization among infants aged 0 to 2 months with UTI.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included infants aged birth to 2 months hospitalized with a UTI from 2008 to 2019 across 38 institutions in the Pediatric Health Information System. Outcome measures included recurrent UTI within 1 year, vesicoureteral reflux diagnosis within 1 year and antiurinary reflux procedure performed within 2 years. Trends over time were compared between preguideline (2008-2011) and postguideline periods (2012-2019) using piecewise mixed-effects logistic regression.
    Results: The odds of VCUG decreased by 21% per year in the preguideline period (adjusted odds ratio, 0.79; 95% confidence interval, 0.77-0.81; P < .001) versus 20% (adjusted odds ratio, 0.80; 95% confidence interval, 0.77-0.83; P < .001) in the postguideline period. The preguideline and postguideline difference was not statistically significant (P = .60). There was no difference in the postguideline odds of UTI within 1 year (P = .07), whereas the odds of vesicoureteral reflux diagnosis (P < .001) and antiurinary reflux procedure performance (P < .001) decreased.
    Conclusions: VCUG performance during hospitalization has declined over the past decade among young infants hospitalized with UTI. Further work is needed to determine the optimal approach to imaging in these young infants.
