RESUMEN
Unusually large outbreaks of mumps across the United States in 2016 and 2017 raised questions about the extent of mumps circulation and the relationship between these and prior outbreaks. We paired epidemiological data from public health investigations with analysis of mumps virus whole genome sequences from 201 infected individuals, focusing on Massachusetts university communities. Our analysis suggests continuous, undetected circulation of mumps locally and nationally, including multiple independent introductions into Massachusetts and into individual communities. Despite the presence of these multiple mumps virus lineages, the genomic data show that one lineage has dominated in the US since at least 2006. Widespread transmission was surprising given high vaccination rates, but we found no genetic evidence that variants arising during this outbreak contributed to vaccine escape. Viral genomic data allowed us to reconstruct mumps transmission links not evident from epidemiological data or standard single-gene surveillance efforts and also revealed connections between apparently unrelated mumps outbreaks.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Sexual assault is common among adolescents worldwide. Survivors of sexual assault may experience various immediate and long-term effects on their physical and mental health. It is important that pediatric healthcare providers (HCPs) are aware of the high prevalence of sexual assault and recognize the impact on their adolescent patients. The aim of this update is to discuss how pediatric HCPs can embody a trauma-informed approach when caring for survivors of sexual assault across various settings. RECENT FINDINGS: All adolescent patients should be screened for sexual assault during routine clinical visits; in responding to a disclosure, providers should exhibit compassion, express validation, and help connect the patient to resources to aid in healing. Caring for survivors of sexual assault should ideally be multidisciplinary, involving treatment of the medical complications (including the possibility of pregnancy or infection) and mental health sequelae (including increased likelihood of depression, posttraumatic symptoms, and suicidality). SUMMARY: A trauma-informed approach can be applied to all aspects of caring for survivors of sexual assault, from screening for sexual assault and responding to disclosure, to providing acute and longitudinal care following sexual assault.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory condition of the esophagus with rising incidence in children. Owed to potential adverse effects and high costs of EoE medications, strict elimination diets are often employed as a mainstay of long-term EoE therapy in children. Currently, there are no effective tests to pinpoint food protein triggers in children with EoE. Therefore, EoE elimination diets are often broad (including milk, soy, wheat, egg, fish/shellfish, and nuts) and can greatly alter a child's baseline eating habits. Herein, we describe 2 cases of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in children with remitted EoE maintained on an elimination diet. We also present comorbidity data on ARFID and diet-treated EoE from our pediatric EoE clinic. This is the first report of disordered eating associated with EoE therapy. As EoE is becoming more common, close monitoring of intake and growth in patients treated with elimination diets will be key.

Clostridium difficile is an important enteric pathogen in humans causing infections in the healthcare environment and the community. Carriage of C. difficile and C. difficile-related enterocolitis has been reported in piglets worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the rates of C. difficile isolation from pigs in Ireland. Faecal samples from piglet litters and sows were collected from six farms in 2015. The sows were non-diarrhoeal at the time of sampling. The diarrhoeal status of the piglets was unknown. C. difficile was isolated from 34/44 (77%) of piglet litter samples and from 33/156 (21%) of sow samples. The isolation rate in sows varied from 3 to 39% and in piglet litters from 72 to 86% depending on farm location. Toxin A and toxin B were present in 99% (66/67) of isolates; and binary toxin in 85% (57/67). Only PCR-ribotypes 078 (88%) and 193 (12%) were identified in piglets. Seven PCR-ribotypes were detected in sow C. difficile isolates: PCR-ribotypes 078 (67%), 050 (12%), 014/020 (6%), 015 (6%), 029 (3%), 035 (3%) and 193 (3%). This study shows that toxigenic C. difficile strains such as PCR-ribotype 078 can be commonly isolated from pigs at different geographical locations in Ireland. Since PCR-ribotype 078 is frequently found in humans in Ireland, this highlights the potential for interspecies transmission.

To determine the percentage of female adolescent patients (13-26 years old) who had HIV testing ordered within 90 days of incident sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis during an outpatient clinic visit. This was a retrospective chart review study evaluating 830 visits among 589 female patients 13 to 26 years who had an incident STI diagnosed in outpatient Adolescent Medicine or Pediatric Practices in an urban, nonprofit, academic, free-standing children's hospital at the main campus and a community site in the Northeast United States. Odds of HIV screening was greater at the community-based adolescent medicine practice (odds ratio [OR] = 3.17; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.92, 5.24]) and when seen by an adolescent medicine provider (OR = 1.44; 95% CI: [1.02, 2.03]). Only 33.5% (n = 283) of 844 clinical encounters had HIV screening obtained within 90 days of incident STI diagnosis. Overall, HIV screening rates within 90 days of STI diagnosis was low, and there is much room for improvement.
RESUMEN
Purpose: The objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge of HIV and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in transgender adolescents and young adults (AYAs) and to test the acceptability of rapid HIV testing among transgender adolescents in a multidisciplinary gender clinic. Methods: Participants enrolled on the same day as their mental health or medical appointment in a multidisciplinary gender clinic. They completed survey questions regarding HIV and PrEP knowledge and were also offered an optional same-day, rapid, fourth-generation HIV test. Participants who had an HIV test answered additional questions about their testing experience. Results: We enrolled 61 participants; just over half (n=31) were assigned female at birth. Less than a third (n=20, 32.8%) scored 80% or above regarding HIV knowledge. Nearly half of the participants (n=29, 47.5%) were not interested in PrEP. Forty-one percent of participants chose to have a rapid HIV test; all were "satisfied" with the testing experience. There were no positive HIV results. Conclusions: Transgender AYAs have gaps in their understanding of HIV acquisition and transmission. Rapid HIV testing in the setting of gender care is well received by those who desire testing and may be a way to increase knowledge of transgender AYA HIV status.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Pediatric primary care clinicians are often uncertain about patients' HIV infection risk and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescribing guidelines. This study was conducted to help identify ways to design and deliver useful electronic health record (EHR)-based alerts for PrEP to help mitigate this issue. METHODS: Individual interviews and focus groups with pediatricians explored provider preferences for clinical decision support around PrEP in the EHR. Key themes were identified via the immersion-crystallization qualitative analytic technique. RESULTS: Clinicians described ideal decision support tools as succinct, helpful in identifying patients at risk of acquiring HIV, providing automated follow-up, and linking to evidence-based prescribing guidelines. Concerns emerged about alert fatigue. DISCUSSION: This study summarizes clinicians' preferences for EHR tool development to support PrEP provision among pediatricians with limited comfort and experience with prescribing PrEP. These findings can inform the development of PrEP decision support by implementing provider-centered feedback.

Objective: There are limited studies evaluating anal cytology results or the prevalence of anal human papiloma virus in adolescent and young adult (AYA) men who have sex with men (MSM). The purpose of this study was to review anal cytology screening results and determine whether abnormal findings resulted in completion of anoscopy in AYA MSM (13-26 years old). Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective study evaluating 84 anal Papanicolaou screening results among 36 AYA MSM patients aged 13-26 years who had an anal Papanicolaou test completed at an outpatient Adolescent/Young Adult Medicine Practice at Boston Children's Hospital, an urban, nonprofit, academic, free-standing children's hospital, from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2020. Results: The findings of anal Papanicolaou screening included atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) (37%), negative for squamous intraepithelial lesion (31%), inability to read (21.3%), and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (10.8%). Most patients who had ASCUS results were referred for anoscopy (n = 28, 90.3%), and of those referred only 6.5% (n = 2) completed an anoscopy. Of those with low-grade squamous cell intraepithelial lesion results, 88.9% (n = 8) were referred for anoscopy, and among those who were referred, only 3.3% (n = 3) had completed an anoscopy. Conclusion: This study showed that there were abnormalities in cytology when anal Papanicolaou test screening was performed in this population, and the completion rates for anoscopy were low.
RESUMEN
College campuses are vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks, and there is an urgent need to develop better strategies to mitigate their size and duration, particularly as educational institutions around the world adapt to in-person instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. Towards addressing this need, we applied a stochastic compartmental model to quantify the impact of university-level responses to contain a mumps outbreak at Harvard University in 2016. We used our model to determine which containment interventions were most effective and study alternative scenarios without and with earlier interventions. This model allows for stochastic variation in small populations, missing or unobserved case data and changes in disease transmission rates post-intervention. The results suggest that control measures implemented by the University's Health Services, including rapid isolation of suspected cases, were very effective at containing the outbreak. Without those measures, the outbreak could have been four times larger. More generally, we conclude that universities should apply (i) diagnostic protocols that address false negatives from molecular tests and (ii) strict quarantine policies to contain the spread of easily transmissible infectious diseases such as mumps among their students. This modelling approach could be applied to data from other outbreaks in college campuses and similar small population settings.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Healthcare workers are encouraged annually to get vaccinated against influenza. This year in view of COVID-19 pandemic, attitudes of HCWs towards vaccination are particularly important. A cross-sectional study was completed to understand how to best encourage and facilitate the vaccination of HCWs based on the previous years' findings. METHODS: An online survey was disseminated to all hospital staff via electronic channels. The clinical audit sphinx software was used for data collection and analysis. RESULTS: The total number of responses was n = 728, almost double the rate from 2018 (N = 393). A total of 78% (N = 551) of participants were vaccinated last year. A total of 94% (N = 677) of participants reported their intention to be vaccinated this year. The main barriers listed were being unable to find time (32%, N = 36), side effects (30%, N = 33) and thinking that it does not work (21%, N = 23). The most popular suggestions for how to increase uptake were more mobile immunisation clinics (72%, N = 517) and more information on the vaccine (50%, N = 360). A total of 82% of participants (N = 590) agreed that healthcare workers should be vaccinated, with 56% (N = 405) agreeing that it should be mandatory. Of the participants who were not vaccinated last year (N = 159), 40% (N = 63) agreed that COVID-19 had changed their opinion on influenza immunisation with a further 11% (N = 18) strongly agreeing. DISCUSSION: In light of the increasing number of survey participants, more staff were interested in flu vaccination this year than ever before. The COVID-19 pandemic has had some influence on staff's likelihood to be vaccinated. Feasibility of immunisation and education posed the largest barriers to HCW vaccination.

Data for nearly all patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) with an approved device in the United States is captured in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry. All data submitted for TEER or TMVR between 2014 and March 31, 2020, are reported. A total of 37,475 patients underwent a mitral transcatheter procedure, including 33,878 TEER and 3,597 TMVR. Annual procedure volumes for TEER have increased from 1,152 per year in 2014 to 10,460 per year in 2019 at 403 sites and for TMVR from 84 per year to 1,120 per year at 301 centers. Mortality rates have decreased for TEER at 30 days (5.6%-4.1%) and 1 year (27.4%-22.0%). Early off-label use data on TMVR in mitral valve-in-valve therapy led to approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017, and the 2019 30-day mortality rate was 3.9%. Overall improvements in outcomes over the last 6 years are apparent. (STS/ACC TVT Registry Mitral Module; NCT02245763).

BACKGROUND: Over 60% of military personnel in the United States currently use dietary supplements. Two types of dietary supplements, weight loss and sports performance (WLSP) supplements, are commonly used by military personnel despite the associated serious adverse effects such as dehydration and stroke. OBJECTIVE: To understand peer-to-peer communication about WLSP supplements among military personnel, we conducted a pilot study using the social media website, Reddit. METHODS: A total of 64 relevant posts and 243 comments from 2009 to 2019 were collected from 6 military subreddits. The posts were coded for year of posting, subreddit, and content consistent with the following themes: resources about supplement safety and regulation, discernability of supplement use through drug testing, serious adverse effects, brand names or identifiers, and reasons for supplement use. RESULTS: A primary concern posted by personnel who used supplements was uncertainty about the supplements that were not detectable on a drug test. Supplements to improve workout performance were the most frequently used. CONCLUSIONS: Our pilot study suggests that military personnel may seek out peer advice about WLSP supplements on Reddit and spread misinformation about the safety and effectiveness of these products through this platform. Future directions for the monitoring of WLSP supplement use in military personnel are discussed.
RESUMEN
Asymptomatic surveillance testing together with COVID-19-related research can lead to positive SARS-CoV-2 tests resulting not from true infections, but non-infectious, non-hazardous by-products of research (amplicons). Amplicons can be widespread and persistent in lab environments and can be difficult to distinguish for true infections. We discuss prevention and mitigation strategies.

The STS-ACC TVT Registry (Society of Thoracic Surgeons-American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry) from 2011 to 2019 has collected data on 276,316 patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at sites in all U.S. states. Volumes have increased every year, exceeding surgical aortic valve replacement in 2019 (72,991 vs. 57,626), and it is now performed in all U.S. states. TAVR now extends from extreme- to low-risk patients. This is the first presentation on 8,395 low-risk patients treated in 2019. In 2019, for the entire cohort, femoral access increased to 95.3%, hospital stay was 2 days, and 90.3% were discharged home. Since 2011, the 30-day mortality rate has decreased (7.2% to 2.5%), stroke has started to decrease (2.75% to 2.3%), but pacemaker need is unchanged (10.9% to 10.8%). Alive with acceptable patient-reported outcomes is achieved in 8 of 10 patients at 1 year. The Registry is a national resource to improve care and analyze TAVR's evolution. Real-world outcomes, site performance, and the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 will be subsequently studied. (STS/ACC Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry [TVT Registry]; NCT01737528).

BACKGROUND: Stroke is a serious complication after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), yet predictive models are not available. A new risk model for in-hospital stroke after TAVR was developed and used to estimate site-specific performance. METHODS: We included 97,600 TAVR procedures from 521 sites in The Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry from July 2014 to June 2017. Association between baseline covariates and in-hospital stroke was estimated by logistic regression. Discrimination was evaluated by C-statistic. Calibration was tested internally via cross-validation. Hierarchical modeling was used to estimate risk-adjusted site-specific performance. RESULTS: Median age was 82 years, 44,926 (46.0%) were women, and 1,839 (1.9%) had in-hospital stroke. Covariates associated with stroke (odds ratio) included transapical access (1.44), access excluding transapical and transfemoral (1.77), prior stroke (1.57), prior transient ischemic attack (1.50), preprocedural shock, inotropes or mechanical assist device (1.48), smoking (1.28), porcelain aorta (1.23), peripheral arterial disease (1.21), age per 5 years (1.11), glomerular filtration rate per 5 mL/min (0.97), body surface area per m2 (0.55 male; 0.43 female), and prior aortic valve (0.78) and nonaortic valvular (0.42) procedures. The C-statistic was 0.622. Calibration curves demonstrated agreement between observed and expected stroke rates. Hierarchical modeling showed 10 (1.9%) centers with significantly higher odds ratios for in-hospital stroke than their peers. CONCLUSIONS: A risk model for in-hospital stroke after TAVR was developed from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry and used to estimate site-specific stroke performance. This model can serve as a valuable resource for quality improvement, clinical decision making, and patient counseling.

PURPOSE: To test the effectiveness of a central venous catheter (CVC) insertion strategy and a hand hygiene (HH) improvement strategy to prevent central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in European intensive care units (ICUs), measuring both process and outcome indicators. METHODS: Adult ICUs from 14 hospitals in 11 European countries participated in this stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled multicentre intervention study. After a 6 month baseline, three hospitals were randomised to one of three interventions every quarter: (1) CVC insertion strategy (CVCi); (2) HH promotion strategy (HHi); and (3) both interventions combined (COMBi). Primary outcome was prospective CRBSI incidence density. Secondary outcomes were a CVC insertion score and HH compliance. RESULTS: Overall 25,348 patients with 35,831 CVCs were included. CRBSI incidence density decreased from 2.4/1000 CVC-days at baseline to 0.9/1000 (p < 0.0001). When adjusted for patient and CVC characteristics all three interventions significantly reduced CRBSI incidence density. When additionally adjusted for the baseline decreasing trend, the HHi and COMBi arms were still effective. CVC insertion scores and HH compliance increased significantly with all three interventions. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that multimodal prevention strategies aiming at improving CVC insertion practice and HH reduce CRBSI in diverse European ICUs. Compliance explained CRBSI reduction and future quality improvement studies should encourage measuring process indicators.
