I deployed a calculator for 2025 Fenton 3rd generation preterm growth charts. Also analyzed effect of Fenton 2013 vs 2025 with n=2516 births <34 weeks (2016-2024): • rate of SGA (10%ile) classification from 9.2% to 21%, • mean ∆Z wt birth to discharge changed from -0.67 to -0.43 #NeoSky #PedSky

The 3rd generation Fenton preterm growth charts were recently released, so being a data geek, I did some analysis of how the Fenton 2003/2013/2025 and Olsen 2010 preterm charts compared, and harmonization with the WHO growth standards. Also some opinionated musing. #NeoSky #PedSky #rstats #dataviz

advertisers are playing fast and loose with safety when it comes to marketing of #nursingpillows. Did you know that nursing pillows turn up in 5% of cases of sudden unexplained infant death? #SIDS #publichealth #pedsky 🩺 #parenting #SUID

Awesome news. I only wish I had been more successful convincing more parents to accept the prophylaxis. #NeoSky #PedSky

Wanted to up my @alfredapp game and created my first workflow -- now I can use a keyboard shortcut to trigger AAP 2022 hyperbilirubinemia guideline analysis! It uses a `zsh` script to parse comma-separated params and accesses a webtool via API. Pretty geeky :) #NeoSky #PedSky #DocsWhoCode

Honest questions. 1) Can state medical licensing boards revoke licenses of physicians (including those of politicians) who actively promote harming public health? 2) Would they have the conscience and courage to do so? #MedSky #PedSky #NeoSky

In to NICU for 24h shift. Notified that we have lost access to vaccine information sheets. Has anyone started a centralized NON-governmental shadow archive of reference materials so we can continue to take care of our patients? Perhaps referenced by original URL. Please. #NeoSky #PedSky #MedSky

Talking with peds residents about songs used to help with CPR timing. There's the classic Staying Alive (Bee Gees) and the rather dark Another One Bites the Dust (Queen). But I figured I'd ask what they were taught, as the songs are getting a bit old. Baby Shark Really?!? #MedSky #PedSky #NeoSky
