Researchers propose a set of detailed criteria to aid practitioners in determining the appropriateness of CICU admissions stratified by goals of care, quality of care required, and risk for clinical deterioration.
Medical professionals need to express their support for child advocacy programs to ensure that medical care is free from coercion and undue influences and is actually in the best interest of the child.
Investigators evaluated trends in the length and readability of informed consent forms for industry-sponsored clinical trials in rheumatology.
