Leveraging School Infection Data to Address Community COVID-19 Data Gaps
Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society • December 2023
Moreda E, Al-Dhalimy H, Ha M, Nwanaji-Enwerem E, Nguyen A, Pieters K, Brookhart MA, Hickerson J, Benjamin, Jr DK, Zimmerman KO, Boutzoukas AE
At-home COVID-19 testing resulted in significant data gaps; K-12 data could have supplemented community data. In future public health emergencies, reporting of school data could minimize data gaps, but requires additional resources including funding to track infections and standardized data reporting methods.

Ticarcillin-clavulanate Results-at-a-Glance
Read ticarcillin-clavulanate Results-at-a-Glance.
Ticarcillin-clavulanate is an antibiotic that can be used to treat many infections that occur in premature infants. However, there is little information on the pharmacokinetics (how the drug is processed) in premature infants’ bodies. This information is necessary for health care providers to prescribe the safest, most effective dose of ticarcillin-clavulanate when treating infections in premature infants.
Risk factors and epidemiology of spontaneous intestinal perforation among infants born at 22-24 weeks’ gestational age
Journal of Perinatology • January 2024
Thakkar PV, Sutton KF, Detwiler CAB, Henegar JG, Narayan JR, Perez-Romero M, Strausser CM, Clark RH, Benjamin DK Jr, Zimmerman KO, Goldberg RN, Younge N, Tanaka D, Smith PB, Greenberg RG, Kilpatrick R
This study sought to describe the epidemiology, risk factors, and timing of spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) among infants born at 22-24 weeks’ gestational age (GA). Antenatal magnesium exposure, antenatal indomethacin exposure, postnatal hydrocortisone exposure, postnatal indomethacin exposure, and weight loss ≥15% were associated with SIP.
Mentorship
Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society • December 2023
Zimmerman KO
A unique feature of the Duke Summer Training in Academic Research (STAR) program is its focus on mentorship. STAR is an opportunity for junior faculty members and fellows to learn how to be mentors, and for undergraduate and high school students to learn how to be mentored. These are important and fundamental points; mentorship, from the perspective of mentor or mentee, should be a deliberate and skilled activity that can result from adequate training.
Association Between Hypoglycemia and the Occurrence of Early Onset Sepsis in Premature Infants
Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society • December 2023
Kumar KR, Shah SJ, Fayyad RM, Turla TM, O’Sullivan LM, Wallace B, Clark RH, Benjamin Jr DK, Greenberg RG, Hornik CP
This study examined the association between hypoglycemia and the occurrence of early onset sepsis (EOS) in premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Hypoglycemia may be an early marker of EOS, particularly in episodes caused by Gram-negative organisms and when using a stricter definition of hypoglycemia.
Late-Onset Sepsis Evaluation and Empiric Therapy in Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborns
Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society • December 2023
Speier RL, Cotton CM, Lewis K, Benajmin DK Jr, Keeler K, Kidimbu G, Roberts W, Clark RH, Zimmerman KO, Stark A, Greenberg RG
Little is known about late-onset sepsis (LOS) evaluations in extremely low gestational age newborns (ELGANs). This study describes frequencies of LOS evaluation in ELGANs, infant characteristics, and empiric therapy choices during evaluations.
