89) After controlling for age, sex, and race, neither cancer (p=0.73) nor immunocompromised conditions (p=0.64) were associated with severe illness. No association was found between severe COVID-19 illness and cancer, transplant, and other immunocompromising conditions in a cohort of mostly African American patients.

Time to treatment in pediatric refractory status epilepticus is delayed. We aimed to evaluate the influence of weekends and holidays on time to treatment of this pediatric emergency. We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected observational data of pediatric patients with refractory status epilepticus. We included 329 patients (56% males) with a median (p25 to p75) age of 3.8 (1.3 to 9) years. The median (p25 to p75) time to first BZD on weekdays and weekends/holidays was 20 (6.8 to 48.3) minutes versus 11 (5 to 35) minutes, P= 0.01; adjusted hazard ratio (HR)= 1.20 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.95 to 1.55), P= 0.12. The time to first non-BZD ASM was longer on weekdays than on weekends/holidays (68 [42.8 to 153.5] minutes versus 59 [27 to 120] minutes, P= 0.006; adjusted HR= 1.38 [95% CI 1.08 to 1.76], P= 0.009). However, this difference was mainly driven by status epilepticus with in-hospital onset among 108 patients, the time to first non-BZD ASM was longer during weekdays than during weekends/holidays (55.5 [28.8 to 103.5] minutes versus 28 [15.8 to 66.3] minutes, P= 0.003; adjusted HR= 1.65 [95% CI 1.08 to 2.51], P= 0.01). The time to first non-BZD ASM in pediatric refractory status epilepticus is shorter on weekends/holidays than on weekdays, mainly driven by in-hospital onset status epilepticus. Data on what might be causing this difference may help tailor policies to improve medication application timing.

We evaluated the rates of placental pathologic lesions and their relationship with two-year neurodevelopmental outcomes in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants. This is a cohort observational study comprising 595 VLBW infants during 2007 to 2015. Neurodevelopmental assessment was carried out at 24months corrected age. In univariate analysis the rates of survival with normal neurodevelopmental outcomes were lower in pregnancies with severe histologic chorioamnionitis (38 of 43, 88.4% when compared with 305 of 450, 67.8%), severe maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM) (17 of 37, 45.9% when compared with 326/492, 66.3%), and intravillous hemorrhage (37 of 82, 45.1% when compared with 306 of 449, 68.1%). In logistic models, severe MVM (adjusted odds ratio [adj. OR]=0.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.22 to 0.92), severe fetal vascular malperfusion (FVM) (adj. OR=0.46, 95% CI=0.22 to 0.45), and intravillous hemorrhage (adj. OR=0.38, 95% CI=0.22 to 0.62) were associated with lower rates of infant survival with normal neurodevelopmental outcome. FVM (adj. OR=0.46, 95% CI=0.21 to 0.97) and intravillous hemorrhage (adj. OR=0.37, 95% CI=0.22 to 0.62) were also the only placental lesions that were independent predictors of a lower rate of intact survival in stepwise analysis for prognostic factors of the entire cohort. Placental pathologic findings such as severe MVM, FVM, and intravillous hemorrhage are significant predictors of neonatal survival and subsequent adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. NVP-AEW541 inhibitor Data on the placental pathology could be useful in the neurodevelopmental follow-up of VLBW infants. Placental pa
