TL;DR: Implementation of a handoff bundle was associated with a significant reduction in medical errors and preventable adverse events among hospitalized children and Improvements in verbal and written handoff processes occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anjuli Gupta,Samantha Ly,Luciana A. Castroneves,Mary C. Frates,Carol B. Benson,Henry A. Feldman,Ari J. Wassner,Jessica Smith,Ellen Marqusee,Erik K. Alexander,Justine A. Barletta,Peter M. Doubilet,Hope E. Peters,Susan M. Webb,Biren P. Modi,Harriet J. Paltiel,Harry P.W. Kozakewich,Edmund S. Cibas,Francis D. Moore,Robert C. Shamberger,P. Reed Larsen,Stephen A. Huang +21 more
TL;DR: Although the relative cancer prevalence of sonographically confirmed nodules ≥ 1 cm is higher in pediatric patients than adults, most children referred for suspected nodules have benign conditions, and efforts to avoid unnecessary surgery in this majority are warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fourteen Monogenic Genes Account for 15% of Nephrolithiasis/Nephrocalcinosis
Jan Halbritter,Michelle A. Baum,Ann Marie Hynes,Sarah J. Rice,Sarah J. Rice,David T. Thwaites,Zoran Gucev,Brittany Fisher,Leslie Spaneas,Jonathan D. Porath,Daniela A. Braun,Ari J. Wassner,Caleb P. Nelson,Velibor Tasic,John A. Sayer,Friedhelm Hildebrandt +15 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that knowledge of the molecular cause of nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis may have practical implications and might facilitate personalized treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used whole exome sequencing in 51 families with at least one renal stone or with a renal ultrasound finding of nephrocalcinosis to identify the underlying molecular genetic cause of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Monogenic Causes in Pediatric Patients with Nephrolithiasis or Nephrocalcinosis
Daniela A. Braun,Jennifer A. Lawson,Heon Yung Gee,Jan Halbritter,Shirlee Shril,Weizhen Tan,Deborah R. Stein,Ari J. Wassner,Michael A. J. Ferguson,Zoran Gucev,Brittany Fisher,Leslie Spaneas,Jennifer Varner,John A. Sayer,Danko Milosevic,Michelle A. Baum,Velibor Tasic,Friedhelm Hildebrandt +17 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that important therapeutic and preventative measures may result from mutational analysis in individuals with early manifestation of nephrolithiasis or nephrocalcinosis, and in individuals who manifested later in life, causative mutations in dominant genes were more frequent.
