    Abstract Background and objective Fragility Index (FI) of meta-analyses determines their stability in terms of the level of confidence and strength behind the results depicted by them. The present study was conducted to estimate the FI of recently published meta-analyses in the Journal of Pediatric Urology (JPUrol). Method Twenty recently published articles on meta-analyses were screened to identify the eligible ones. The baseline data of each meta-analysis including the details of the author, number of included studies, total sample size, the total number of events, the status of the overall outcome (significant or non-significant), type of effect measure, type of method used for pooling the estimates, and type of effects model were recorded. FI was calculated by doing each single status modification. The 95% CI of the treatment effect was re-calculated until the statistical significance of the meta-analysis was reversed. Results A total of seven articles incorporating 22 meta-analyses were included. Seven (32%) of them had a statistically significant outcome prior to FI estimation. The risk ratio (17/22; 77%) was the most commonly used effect measure. The random-effects model (15/22; 68%) and the Mantel-Haenszel method (20/22; 91%) of pooling the estimates were utilized in the majority of meta-analyses. The median (Q1-Q3; range) FI of statistically significant, non-significant, and total meta-analyses were 5 (3-19.5; 2-39), 5 (3.5-6; 1-17), and 5 (3-13; 1-39) respectively. FI of ≤5 was noticed in four out of seven (57%), 9/15 (60%), and 13/22 (59%) of these meta-analyses respectively. Conclusion Based on our findings, the majority of the recently published meta-analyses in the field of pediatric urology are fragile and depend upon the event status of ≤5 participants.

    Abstract Esophageal atresia-tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) is one of the common congenital anomalies occurring in newborns. Over the last eight decades, various technical modifications have been proposed in the surgical repair of EA-TEF. Preservation of azygos vein is one such modification that has gained considerable attention. However, a consensus statement regarding the superiority of its preservation over its division is lacking. We aim to compare the outcomes of surgery between the two groups of newborns, i.e., those undergoing repair with and without azygos vein preservation, in terms of its complications. The authors systematically searched the databases PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus through December 2020. The incidence of anastomotic complications and chest infection was compared among the two groups of newborns, i.e., those undergoing surgical repair with (group A) and without azygos vein preservation (group B). Statistical analysis was performed using a fixed-effects model, and pooled risk ratio (RR) and heterogeneity (I

    Abstract Background and objectives: In children with nephrotic syndrome, steroids are the cornerstone of therapy for relapse. The adequate duration and dosage of steroids, however, have not been an active area of research, especially in children with infrequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome. This study investigated the efficacy of an abbreviated regimen for treatment of a relapse in this population.
    Design, setting, participants, & measurements: In a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the efficacy of prednisolone as a "short regimen" (40 mg/m
    Results: A total of 117 patients were enrolled and randomized to short (55) or standard (62) regimen. Fourteen (24%) patients in standard regimen and 12 (23%) in short regimen developed frequent relapses or steroid dependence over a period of 1 year (risk difference, -1%; 95% confidence interval, -15 to 16;
    Conclusions: In children with infrequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome, a short steroid treatment for relapse resulted in a similar proportion of patients developing frequent relapses or steroid dependence; however, noninferiority of a short regimen was not established.

    Abstract Background: Acute appendicitis is a frequently encountered surgical emergency. Despite several scoring systems, the possibility of delayed diagnosis persists. In addition, a delayed diagnosis leads to an increased risk of complicated appendicitis. Hence, there is a need to identify biological markers to help clinicians rapidly and accurately diagnose and prognosticate acute appendicitis with a high sensitivity and specificity. Although several markers have been evaluated, the pressing concern is still the low specificity of these markers. One such marker is serum ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), which can be a novel biomarker for accurately diagnosing and prognosticating acute appendicitis.
    Methods: The authors conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases through February 2023 as per the PRISMA guidelines. The difference in the levels of IMA between patients with acute appendicitis vs. healthy controls, and the difference in the levels of IMA between patients with complicated vs. non-complicated acute appendicitis were taken as the outcome measures. Statistical analysis was performed using a random effects model and mean difference (MD) was calculated. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed by utilizing the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.
    Results: A total of six prospective comparative studies were included in the meta-analysis. The analysis revealed that the mean level of serum IMA was significantly raised in the acute appendicitis group (MD 0.21, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.37,
    Conclusions: Serum IMA is a viable potential marker for diagnosing and prognosticating acute appendicitis. However, due to the limited methodological quality of available studies, further prospectively designed and adequately powered studies are needed.
