Whole Exome Sequencing and Whole Genome Sequencing for Nonimmune Fetal/Neonatal Hydrops
NCT03911531
Recruiting
Brief Summary: Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a potentially fatal condition characterized by abnormal fluid accumulation in two or more fetal compartments. Numerous etiologies may lead to NIHF, and the underlying cause often remains unclear (1). The current standard of genetic diagnostic testing includes a fetal karyotype and chromosomal microarray (CMA), with an option to pursue single gene testing on amniocytes collected by amniocentesis (2). A large subgroup of the NIHF causes includes s... Read More

Utilizing Electronic Clinical Decision Support to Enhance mTBI Care at the Primary Care Point of Entry
NCT06693778
Recruiting
Six primary care practices within a large Philadelphia pediatric care network will use an electronic Clinical Decision Support (eCDS) tool as standard care for concussion evaluation. The eCDS tool will include a prediction rule for children aged 5-18 assessed for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The eCDS tool predicts risk for persistent symptoms and prompts referral to specialty care for those deemed high risk. This research proposes to analyze the clinical and process outcomes in these six... Read More
