- Early Detection of Cerebral Palsy in Ireland: A National NICU Implementation Initiative. [Journal Article]J Pediatr. 2026 Oct 27; :115377. [Online ahead of print]JPed
- CONCLUSIONS: National implementation of early CP surveillance was feasible across tertiary NICU programs in Ireland and reduced median age of diagnosis to 7 months. Future work must establish feasibility beyond tertiary settings and work to incorporate pathways into national priorities to ensure sustainability.

- Exercise Capacity, Muscle Mass, and Quality of Life in Pediatric Patients with Fontan Circulation. [Journal Article]J Pediatr. 2026 Oct 23; :115379. [Online ahead of print]JPed
- CONCLUSIONS: Skeletal muscle mass was associated with quality of life in children with Fontan circulation. The association between VO2 and physical function was attenuated with body-size normalization.

- Somatic Growth Faltering Precedes Brain Growth Deceleration in Preterm Infants: A Window for Intervention. [Journal Article]J Pediatr. 2026 Oct 23; :115372. [Online ahead of print]JPed
- CONCLUSIONS: Brain growth is impaired during critical extrauterine periods in GF VPI, with a 4-week interval between the onset of weight faltering and subsequent brain growth deceleration that may represent an important window for clinical intervention.

- Life's Essential 8 Cardiovascular Health Characteristics in Children and Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease. [Journal Article]J Pediatr. 2026 Oct 23; :115376. [Online ahead of print]JPed
- CONCLUSIONS: Despite vulnerable cardiac anatomy, almost half of youth with CHD had suboptimal CVH, with prevalent deficits in blood lipids, blood pressure, and BMI. Complex CHD anatomy was associated with a more favorable CVH profile. These findings highlight the need to incorporate health screening and promotion into the routine care of the pediatric CHD population.

- Emergency Department Diagnosis of Concussion in Very Young Children with Head Injury. [Journal Article]J Pediatr. 2026 Oct 22; :115378. [Online ahead of print]JPed
- Although very young children ages 1-4 years accounted for the largest proportion of head injury encounters across a pediatric emergency department network, they had the lowest proportion of concussion diagnoses compared with older groups. These findings highlight the need for age-appropriate concussion assessment and may suggest underrecognition in young patients.

- CONCLUSIONS: Δ9-THC exposure in late gestation showed particularly strong associations with adverse behavioral outcomes in early childhood. Our study suggests that it is never too late to quit cannabis use during pregnancy to limit adverse effects on child neurodevelopment.

[Journal Article]J Pediatr. 2026 Oct 06; 300:115361. [Online ahead of print]JPed
- CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents with ME/CFS experience substantial multisystem symptom burden, impaired physical functioning, and educational disruption. Many core clinical features were similar to those in adults, supporting the need for early recognition and appropriate clinical and educational support.

- Decoding Parenting Style and Emotional Connection in Infants With Cerebral Palsy: A Prospective, Multicenter Study. [Journal Article]J Pediatr. 2026 Sep 30; :115340. [Online ahead of print]JPed
- CONCLUSIONS: In infants with or at high risk for CP, parenting style is predominantly authoritative and more closely linked to caregiver education than to infant neuromotor severity. Observed parent-infant connection follows a severity-dependent trajectory in which age-related gains in infant engagement are attenuated with greater neuromotor impairment. These findings shift emphasis from broadly remediating parenting style toward supporting the dyadic processes most constrained by neuromotor impairment.
