Infantile cerebral palsy is one of the most prevalent diseases and the most frequent cause of disability in paediatrics. Children with cerebral palsy have complex health care needs and often require the care of a multidisciplinary team. However, in many cases there is no paediatrician with overall responsibility for coordinating follow-up. We have produced a support document intended for paediatricians coordinating the care of children with cerebral palsy. Our aim is to provide an ordered compilation of the main issues these patients may develop, to know how to identify and address them if necessary, and to establish criteria for referring these patients to other specialists.

Review
When pediatricians, autistic people, and their families carefully consider and plan for the transition from pediatric care to adult care, there are better outcomes for patients. Pediatricians see their patients over time and are uniquely positioned to help prepare for the changes that come with the transition through adolescents to adulthood. Although programs such as Got Transition offer some guidance on how to navigate the transition from pediatric care to adult care, there is less information on how to help those on the autism spectrum and their families transition to adulthood in other ways.

Review
Child abuse affects more than 10% of children in the United States. For most children it is the result of family dysfunction. Child abuse affects children from all socioeconomic classes. Pediatricians have an important role to play in prevention and early detection of abuse. There are sentinel injuries, now summarized as Clinical Prediction Rules that can guide the general pediatrician to take more definitive steps to suspect and report child abuse and neglect. Primary prevention should be part of the anticipatory guidance and support that pediatricians provide to all of their families.

Academic Pediatrics Apr 2023Explore relationships between pediatrician characteristics, sacrifices made for career, and career and life satisfaction.
OBJECTIVE
Explore relationships between pediatrician characteristics, sacrifices made for career, and career and life satisfaction.
METHODS
Surveys of early career pediatricians (ECPs) who recently graduated residency (2016-18), as part of the AAP Pediatrician Life and Career Experience Study (PLACES) were administered in 2019. Logistic regression analyzed association of pediatrician characteristics with personal sacrifices (a lot vs some or no sacrifices) made for one's career and whether career was worth the sacrifices made to become a physician, and association of characteristics and sacrifices with overall career and life satisfaction.
RESULTS
Of 918 ECPs in the cohort, 90% responded to the 2019 survey. Seventy-seven percent agreed their career was worth the sacrifices and 40% reported they made a lot of personal sacrifices for their career. In multivariable analysis, female sex was associated with lower odds of viewing career as worth the sacrifices made [adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.28-0.71], a higher odds of delaying starting a family [aOR 2.25; CI, 1.32-3.86] and making sacrifices in having children for career [aOR 2.60; CI, 1.48-4.58]. Those in fellowship training also reported making more sacrifices related to having children for their career [aOR 1.73; CI, 1.08-2.78]. ECPs who reported making a lot of sacrifices for their career were less likely to be satisfied with their overall career and life.
CONCLUSIONS
Most ECPs believe their sacrifices to become a pediatrician were worth it. Female pediatricians were less likely to feel personal sacrifices were worth it and reported more sacrifices related to having children.
