    Abstract Objective: We sought to establish core knowledge topics and skills that are important to teach pediatric residents using simulation-based medical education (SBME).
    Methods: We conducted a modified Delphi process with experts in pediatric SBME. Content items were adapted from the American Board of Pediatrics certifying exam content and curricular components from pediatric entrustable professional activities (EPAs). In round 1, participants rated 158 items using a four-point Likert scale of importance to teach through simulation in pediatric residency. A priori, we defined consensus for item inclusion as ≥ 70% rated the item as extremely important and exclusion as ≥ 70% rated the item not important. Criteria for stopping the process included reaching consensus to include and/or exclude all items, with a maximum of 3 rounds.
    Results: A total of 59 participants, representing 46 programs and 25 states participated in the study. Response rates for the three rounds were 92%, 86% and 90%, respectively. The final list includes 112 curricular content items deemed by our experts as important to teach through simulation in pediatric residency. Seventeen procedures were included. Nine of the seventeen EPAs had at least 1 content item that experts considered important to teach through simulation as compared to other modalities.
    Conclusions: Using consensus methodology, we identified the curricular items important to teach pediatric residents using SBME. Next steps are to design a simulation curriculum to encompass this content.
    What's new: It is unknown what content pediatric residents should learn through SBME. Consensus on which core material is important to teach through SBME to supplement existing curricula will allow residency training programs to utilize simulation most effectively.

    Abstract Pharyngitis is commonly diagnosed in the emergency department (ED) and accounts for substantial antibiotic burden in pediatrics. This study describes ED patterns of group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis diagnosis and antibiotic prescribing patterns. This was a secondary data analysis of the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. Diagnosis and antibiotic treatment for GAS and non-GAS (viral) pharyngitis were reported in all ages and specifically examined in children <3 years of age from 2010 to 2015. GAS pharyngitis was diagnosed in 29% of visits for children with pharyngitis; however, 60% of patients with any pharyngitis received antibiotics. Twenty percent of children <3 years were diagnosed with GAS pharyngitis, yet over half were given antibiotics. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were commonly prescribed. Antibiotic treatment of pharyngitis, including broad-spectrum antibiotics, remains high when compared with the known prevalence of GAS pharyngitis. Diagnosis and treatment of GAS pharyngitis in patients <3 years persists despite recommendations against testing.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to dramatic increases in telemedicine use to provide outpatient care without in-person contact risks. Telemedicine increases options for health care access, but a "digital divide" of disparate access may prevent certain populations from realizing the benefits of telemedicine.
    Objectives: The study aimed to understand telemedicine utilization patterns after a widespread deployment to identify potential disparities exacerbated by expanded telemedicine usage.
    Methods: We performed a cross-sectional retrospective analysis of adults who scheduled outpatient visits between June 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020 at a single-integrated academic health system encompassing a broad range of subspecialties and a large geographic region in the Upper Midwest, during a period of time after the initial surge of COVID-19 when most standard clinical services had resumed. At the beginning of this study period, approximately 72% of provider visits were telemedicine visits. The primary study outcome was whether a patient had one or more video-based visits, compared with audio-only (telephone) visits or in-person visits only. The secondary outcome was whether a patient had any telemedicine visits (video-based or audio-only), compared with in-person visits only.
    Results: A total of 197,076 individuals were eligible (average age = 46 years, 56% females). Increasing age, rural status, Asian or Black/African American race, Hispanic ethnicity, and self-pay/uninsured status were significantly negatively associated with having a video visit. Digital literacy, measured by patient portal activation status, was significantly positively associated with having a video visit, as were Medicaid or Medicare as payer and American Indian/Alaskan Native race.
    Conclusion: Our findings reinforce previous evidence that older age, rural status, lower socioeconomic status, Asian race, Black/African American race, and Hispanic/Latino ethnicity are associated with lower rates of video-based telemedicine use. Health systems and policies should seek to mitigate such barriers to telemedicine when possible, with efforts such as digital literacy outreach and equitable distribution of telemedicine infrastructure.

    Abstract Introduction: Trauma patients residing in rural areas face increased challenges to accessing timely and appropriate health services as a result of large geographic distances and limited resource availability. Virtual trauma supports, coined 'teletrauma', are one solution offered to address gaps in rural trauma care. Teletrauma represents a new and innovative solution to addressing health system gaps and optimizing patient care within rural settings. Here, the authors synthesize the empirical evidence on teletrauma research.
    Methods: A review of literature, with no date limiters, was guided by Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) scoping review methodology. The aim of the review was to provide an overview of the current landscape of teletrauma research while identifying factors associated with utilization.
    Results: Following a systematic search of key health databases, 1484 articles were initially identified, of which 28 met the inclusion criteria and were included for final analysis. From the review of the literature, the benefits of teletrauma for rural and remote areas were well-recognized. Several factors were found to be significantly associated with teletrauma utilization, including younger patient age, penetrating injury, and higher injury or illness severity. Lack of access to resources and clinician characteristics were also identified as reasons that sites adopted teletrauma services.
    Conclusion: By identifying factors associated with teletrauma utilization, teletrauma programs may be used more judiciously and effectively in rural areas as a means of enhancing access to definitive trauma care in rural areas. Gaps in current knowledge were also identified, along with recommendations for future research.

    Abstract Background: Despite the existence of universal health care for Canadians, health inequalities persist and those residing in rural regions experience disparities when accessing appropriate services. To enhance access, a teletrauma program was implemented in a rural northern region in western Canada, connecting rural clinicians to urban emergency physicians and trauma specialists during emergency cases.
    Objective: To explore reasons why teletrauma is used in rural contexts from the perspectives of service users and stakeholders.
    Methods: 14 semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders, clinicians (physicians, specialists), management, and researchers. Interpretive description methodology guided the study and analysis, and findings were organized thematically.
    Results: Teletrauma was used to connect clinicians, manage complex cases when weather or distance delayed transfer, and to enable appropriate and timely treatment locally. Teletrauma was more likely to be activated when clinicians were uncomfortable with clinical management, when relationships were established, and when technology was familiar and easy to use.
    Conclusions: Teletrauma is more than just the technology that is deployed. The establishment of relationships between teletrauma users was vital to the success of teletrauma. To design effective, integrated, and sustainable services, rural clinicians must remain at the center of teletrauma models.

    Abstract While death is a universal human experience, the process of planning for death can be difficult and may be avoided altogether. To understand community perspectives of end-of-life preparedness, we undertook a multimethod study exploring the experiences of 25 community members and 10 stakeholders engaged in end-of-life planning. In addition, card sorting activities and focused discussions with 97 older adults were undertaken to highlight perspectives and needs. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative description. Overall, the participants perceived many benefits to being end-of-life prepared, however, few community members had engaged in formal planning. Key barriers include concerns about the accessibility and accuracy of information, discomfort when engaging in end-of-life conversations, and perceptions about the cost associated with engaging in formal legal or financial preparations. Areas for further research include the need for studies that capture the cultural dimensions of end-of-life planning and explores the implementation and evaluation of community-based interventions to improve preparedness.

    Abstract We evaluated data from 10 laboratories that analyzed water samples from 82 recreational water sites across the state of Michigan between 2016 and 2018. Water sample replicates were analyzed by experienced U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) analysts and Michigan laboratories personnel, many of whom were newly trained, using EPA Draft Method C-a rapid quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technique that provides same day Escherichia coli (E. coli) concentration results. Beach management decisions (i.e. remain open or issue an advisory or closure) based on E. coli concentration estimates obtained by Michigan labs and by the EPA were compared; the beach management decision agreed in 94% of the samples analyzed. We used the Wilcoxon one-sample signed rank test and nonparametric quantile regression to assess (1) the degree of agreement between E. coli concentrations quantified by Michigan labs versus the EPA and (2) Michigan lab E. coli measurement precision, relative to EPA results, in different years and water body types. The median quantile regression curve for Michigan labs versus EPA approximated the 1:1 line of perfect agreement more closely as years progressed. Similarly, Michigan lab E. coli estimates precision also demonstrated yearly improvements. No meaningful difference was observed in the degree of association between Michigan lab and EPA E. coli concentration estimates for inland lake and Great Lakes samples (median regression curve average slopes 0.93 and 0.95, respectively). Overall, our study shows that properly trained laboratory personnel can perform Draft Method C to a degree comparable with experienced EPA analysts. This allows health departments that oversee recreational water quality monitoring to be confident in qPCR results generated by the local laboratories responsible for analyzing the water samples.

    Abstract In gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), women are unable to compensate for the increased insulin resistance during pregnancy. Data are limited regarding the pharmacodynamic effects of metformin and glyburide during pregnancy. This study characterized insulin sensitivity (SI), β-cell responsivity, and disposition index (DI) in women with GDM utilizing a mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) before and during treatment with glyburide monotherapy (GLY, n = 38), metformin monotherapy (MET, n = 34), or GLY and MET combination therapy (COMBO; n = 36). GLY significantly decreased dynamic β-cell responsivity (31%). MET and COMBO significantly increased SI (121% and 83%, respectively). Whereas GLY, MET, and COMBO improved DI, metformin (MET and COMBO) demonstrated a larger increase in DI (P = 0.05) and a larger decrease in MMTT peak glucose concentrations (P = 0.03) than subjects taking only GLY. Maximizing SI with MET followed by increasing β-cell responsivity with GLY or supplementing with insulin might be a more optimal strategy for GDM management than monotherapy.
