    Abstract Background: Logistic regression plays a fundamental role in the production of decision rules, risk assessment, and in establishing cause and effect relationships. This primer is aimed at novice researchers with minimal statistical expertise.
    Objective: Introduce the logit equation and provide a hands-on example to facilitate understanding of its benefits and limitations.
    Discussion: This primer reviews the mathematical basis of a logit equation by comparing and contrasting it with the simple straight-line (linear) equation. After gaining an understanding of the meaning of beta coefficients, readers are encouraged to download a free statistical program and database to produce a logistic regression analysis. Using this example, the narrative then discusses commonly used methods to describe model fitness, including the C-statistic, chi square, Akaike and Bayesian Information Criteria, McFadden's pseudo R
    Conclusions: Logistic regression can provide information about the association of independent variables with important clinical outcomes, which can be the first step to show predictiveness or causation of variables on the outcomes of interest. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

    Abstract Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate the impact of the initial high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) flow rate on clinical outcomes in children with bronchiolitis.
    Methods: This secondary analysis of retrospective data included children <2 years who required HFNC for bronchiolitis between 10/01/2018-04/20/2019, and following implementation of a revised institutional bronchiolitis pathway between 10/01/2021-04/30/2022. The new pathway recommended weight-based initiation of HFNC at 1.5-2 L/kg/min. We evaluated the effect of low (<1.0 L/kg/min), medium (1-1.5 L/kg/min) and high (>1.5 L/kg/min) HFNC flow rates on need for positive pressure ventilation (PPV), intensive care unit (ICU) transfer, HFNC treatment time, and hospital length of stay (LOS).
    Results: The majority of the 885 included children had low initial flow rates (low [n = 450, 50.8%], medium [n = 332, 37.5%] and high [n = 103, 11.7%]). There were no significant differences in PPV (high: 7.8% vs. medium: 9.3% vs. low: 8.2%, p = 0.8) or ICU transfers (high: 4.9% vs. medium: 6.0% vs. low: 3.8%, p = 0.3). The low flow group had a significantly longer median HFNC treatment time (High: 29 [18, 45] vs. medium: 29 [16, 50] vs. low: 39 [25, 63], p < .001) and hospital LOS (High: 41 [27, 59] vs. medium: 42 [29, 66] vs. low: 50 (39, 75), p < .001). Logistic and linear regression models did not demonstrate any associations between HFNC flow rates and PPV or hospital LOS.
    Conclusions: Initial HFNC flow rates were not associated with significant changes in clinical outcomes in children in children with bronchiolitis.

    Abstract Introduction: The usage of asynchronous resources such as blogs and podcasts is pervasive in academic medicine, despite little understanding of their actual effect on learner knowledge acquisition. This study sought to examine the objective effect of a blog post on knowledge acquisition and application among junior faculty in emergency medicine (EM) via randomized controlled study.
    Methods: All accredited EM residency programs in the United States and Canada were contacted to identify assistant and associate program directors and medical education fellows for recruitment into this study. Upon enrollment, participants were randomized as to whether they received access to a supplemental blog post prior to listening to a podcast episode. After listening to the podcast episode, all participants completed an assessment that included a test of knowledge application and knowledge acquisition; demographic information was also obtained.
    Results: Ultimately, 103 participants completed the study; the study closed for enrollment in July 2019. Data were nonnormally distributed and groups were compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. There were no significant differences between the demographics of the two groups nor was there a significant difference in knowledge between the two groups.
    Conclusion: The addition of a supplementary blog post did not increase junior faculty knowledge of a podcast episode.

    Abstract Objectives: To describe nonhospitalized adult rapid response events (adult RREs) in a freestanding children's hospital and examine the relationship between various demographic and clinical factors with the final patient disposition.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records for nonhospitalized patients ≥18 years of age from events that occurred in a freestanding pediatric hospital between January 2011 through December 2020. We examined the relationship between adult RREs and patient demographic information, medical history, interventions, and patient disposition following an adult RRE.
    Results: Four hundred twenty-nine events met inclusion criteria for analysis. Most events (69%) occurred in females, 49% of events occurred in family members of patients, and 47% occurred on inpatient floor and ICU areas. The most common presenting complaint was syncope or dizziness (36%). Delivery of bad news or grief response was associated with 14% of adult RREs. Overall, 46% (n = 196) of patients were transferred to the pediatric emergency department (ED). Patients requiring acute intervention or with cardiac or neurologic past medical histories were more likely to be transferred to the pediatric ED. Acute advanced cardiac life support interventions were infrequent but, of the patients taken to the pediatric ED, 1 died, and 3 were admitted to the ICU.
    Conclusions: Adult RREs are common in freestanding children's hospitals and, although rare, some patients required critical care. Expertise in adult critical care management should be available to the rapid response team and additional training for the pediatric rapid response team in caring for adult nonpatients may be warranted.

    Abstract Background: Patients with difficult peripheral intravenous (IV) access are common in emergency departments (EDs). Ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous catheters (USIVs) are frequently used in this population; however, information regarding the effect of patient and IV characteristics on the dwell time (DT) and survival probability (SP) of USIVs is limited.
    Objective: Our study aimed to evaluate for associations between patient or IV characteristics and the DT and SP of USIVs.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on a database from an ED nurse (RN) USIV training program at an urban, academic hospital. Patients over 18 years with an USIV placed during the study period were included. Subject demographics, history, IV characteristics, insertion, and removal times were collected. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and univariable and multivariable Cox regression. USIV survival times for variates of interest were estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves for three censoring points.
    Results: The final analysis cohort was 388 patients. Mean age was 56.6 years, 66.5% were female, mean BMI was 29.9 kg/m
    Conclusion: Median USIV DT of 40.3 hours for admitted patients was higher than in previous studies. Only 7% of USIVs in our study failed. Overall, catheters survived longer than expected.
