TL;DR: Current information about virulence factors of Escherichia coli, host genetic risk markers associated to recurrence and complications, and new diagnostic tools for localizing the anatomic place of urinary tract infections are discussed.
Abstract: During the past ten years, new concepts on host-parasite interaction have allowed better understanding of the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections (UTI). In addition, significant progress has been achieved with the development of new methods for differentiating upper and lower UTI. This review is intended to discuss current information about virulence factors of Escherichia coli, host genetic risk markers associated to recurrence and complications, and new diagnostic tools for localizing the anatomic place of urinary tract infections.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the risk factors and prevalence of suspected cases of developmental delay in a cohort of children born in Pelotas, Brazil, in 1993, and found that they were more likely to have delayed development.

TL;DR: The Kappa Coefficient (κ) as discussed by the authors measures the degree of concordance between two experts in a pediatric research protocol, i.e., the proportion of concords observed among the total number of observations, having excluded all random concordances.
Abstract: Evaluation of the interobserver concordance in pediatric research: the KappaCoefficient Numerous pediatric research protocols are designed for assessing the degree of concordance between twoobservers; in other words, to determine the extent of their agreement. In order to determine the interobserverconcordance, a frequently used statistical tool is available: the Kappa Coefficient (κ). The present articleexplains the theoretical background of this coefficient, the methodology employed for its calculation andthe way in which its value is correctly interpreted. In simple terms, Kappa Coefficient (κ) corresponds to theproportion of concordances observed among the total number of observations, having excluded allrandom concordances. Kappa Coefficient (κ) adopts a value between -1 y +1, being the strongest degree ofinterobserver concordance equal to +1. On the contrary, a value of κ = 0 reflects that the observedconcordance is precisely the one that is expected by chance. The interpretation of Kappa Coefficient (κ) isperformed by correlating its value with a qualitative scale, which includes six level of strength of agreement("poor", "slight", "fair", "moderate", "substantial" and "almost perfect"), simplifying its comprehension.(
