Abstract Background There has been growing concern in the UK over recent years that a perceived mental health crisis is affecting children and adolescents, although published epidemiological evidence is limited. Methods Two population-based UK primary care cohorts were delineated in the Aurum and GOLD datasets of the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD). We included data from 9,133,246 individuals aged 1–20 who contributed 117,682,651 person-years of observation time. Sex- and age-stratified annual incidence rates were estimated for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (age groups: 1–5, 6–9, 10–12, 13–16, 17–19), depression, anxiety disorders (6–9, 10–12, 13–16, 17–19), eating disorders and self-harm (10–12, 13–16, 17–19) during 2003–2018. We fitted negative binomial regressions to estimate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) to examine change in incidence between the first (2003) and final year (2018) year of observation and to examine sex-specific incidence. Results The results indicated that the overall incidence has increased substantially in both boys and girls in between 2003 and 2018 for anxiety disorders (IRR 3.51 95% CI 3.18–3.89), depression (2.37; 2.03–2.77), ASD (2.36; 1.72–3.26), ADHD (2.3; 1.73–3.25), and self-harm (2.25; 1.82–2.79). The incidence for eating disorders also increased (IRR 1.3 95% CI 1.06–1.61), but less sharply. The incidence of anxiety disorders, depression, self-harm and eating disorders was in absolute terms higher in girls, whereas the opposite was true for the incidence of ADHD and ASD, which were higher among boys. The largest relative increases in incidence were observed for neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly among girls diagnosed with ADHD or ASD. However, in absolute terms, the incidence was much higher for depression and anxiety disorders. Conclusion The number of young people seeking help for psychological distress appears to have increased in recent years. Changes to diagnostic criteria, reduced stigma, and increased awareness may partly explain our results, but we cannot rule out true increases in incidence occurring in the population. Whatever the explanation, the marked rise in demand for healthcare services means that it may be more challenging for affected young people to promptly access the care and support that they need.

Poisonings cause considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, only few countries have published nationwide statistics on poisoning deaths. Based on the Official Cause-of-Death Statistics of Finland, we investigated the incidence and secular trend of poisoning deaths in Finland in 1971–2005. Alcohol poisoning deaths and other poisoning deaths were analyzed separately. During the 35-year study period, other poisoning deaths (non-alcohol) increased from 2.6/100,000 in men and 1.4/100,000 in women in 1971 to 6.8/100,000 and 3.2/100,000 in 2005, respectively. Alcohol poisoning death rates also increased from 9.6/100,000 in men and 0.7/100,000 in women in 1971 to 16.8/100,000 and 4.2/100,000 in 2005, respectively. In the early 1970s, the incidence rates of alcohol deaths were about 10 times higher in men compared with women, whereas in the last few years of observation, men's incidence rate was only about four times higher. Our study showed that alcohol and other poisoning deaths increased in Finland between 1971 and 2005. Men’s risk was markedly higher than women’s risk, but in the later years, women’s risk was increasing. Poisoning death rates among children and adolescents were low throughout the period.

INTRODUCTION: During the past decade, a trend toward increasing cases ofBordetella pertussisin older children and adults has been witnessed in Canada. The National Advisory Committee on Immunization now recommends that the adult formulation of the acellular pertussis (adult dTap) vaccine combined with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids be substituted for diphtheria and tetanus toxoids alone for the 14- to 16-year-old booster dose. In October 2000, the government of the Northwest Territories was one of the first to adopt adult dTap into their territorial immunization program free of charge.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of the acellular pertussis vaccine in children and adolescents on the epidemiology of pertussis in the Northwest Territories.METHODS: Pertussis is a reportable disease in the Northwest Territories, and data on the incidence rates of pertussis are available from 1989 to 2004. The present study reviews pertussis cases during three four-year periods: the whole-cell vaccine era (1993 to 1996); the preadult dTap era (1997 to 2000); and the postadult dTap era (2001 to 2004).RESULTS: The incidence of pertussis decreased from 18.0 cases per 10,000 population in 1993 to 0.2 cases per 10,000 population in 2004. The number of cases decreased from 186 to 129 to 19 cases in the three chronological time periods (ie, whole-cell vaccine era, preadult dTap era and postadult dTap era, respectively), with the most substantial reduction coming with the introduction of postadult dTap.CONCLUSIONS: There appears to be a decrease in the incidence of pertussis with the targeted introduction of adult dTap in the Northwest Territories.

Seroprevalence Study

Until recently, children and adolescents were not eligible for COVID-19 vaccination. They may have been a considerable source of SARS-CoV-2 spread. We evaluated SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody seroprevalence in Israeli children aged 0–15 years from January 2020 to March 2021. Seropositivity was 1.8–5.5 times higher than COVID-19 incidence rates based on PCR testing. We found that SARS-CoV-2 infection among children is more prevalent than previously thought and emphasise the importance of seroprevalence studies to accurately estimate exposure.

Rare Case Report

A rare case report of a plexiform unicystic ameloblastoma in a 3-year-old girl stimulated us to conduct a review of literature to understand the correlation of this tumor with various factors such as that of age, sex, histopathological correlation, and its incidence rates pertaining to children and adolescent population. This is a case report of ameloblastoma in a 3-year-old patient, along with a literature review of ameloblastoma in relation to age. A computerized literature search using Medline was conducted for published articles on treatment of ameloblastoma. MeSH phrases used in search were ameloblastoma AND age; ameloblastoma AND children. The search was restricted to published articles from 1970 to 2010, as the histological features were not clearly defined until 1st edition of WHO histological classification of odontogenic tumors of 1971, search parameter was also set to select literatures under English language only. An additional systematic hand search was also conducted simultaneously to identify other published articles, considering similar parameters as used for Medline search. Most of search result yielded literatures in which primary importance were given to treatment patterns and prognosis of intervention, there were not much specific article or meta analysis which reviewed on the affected age range of ameloblastoma exclusively. We reviewed the identified literatures with patients’ age, case numbers, incidence, sex, location, and histopathology. The statistical data collected were exported to SPSS 16.0 for windows software which performed a descriptive analysis giving an average mean age of 14.1 years (range from 4 to 20); with maximum mean age being 16.0 and minimum mean age being 10.8 with standard deviation of 1.60. Majority of lesions 91.86% (327 of 356) were found between the age group of 11 and 20 years, only 8.14% (29 of 356) were below the age of 10 years. This rare case report highlights occurrence of plexiform unicystic ameloblastoma in maxilla of a 3-year-old girl, which is very much incongruent with the various review of literature on ameloblastoma in children and adolescents. We have emphasized the significance of patient's age and histopathological pattern of the tumor as it has its influence on the treatment plan. However, there is much of research needed with focus in respect to age, histological pattern, and treatment outcomes.

Objective The Childhood Diabetes Registry of Saxony has been existing since 1999. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence rates, cohort and point prevalence, and the trends of type 1 diabetes among children and adolescents based on the registry data over the past 21 years. Methods A completeness check of the Childhood Diabetes Registry of Saxony for the observation period 2012–2019 was performed using the capture-recapture method. The age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 person years (PY) were estimated for the observation period 1999–2019. Prevalence was estimated per 100,000 children and adolescents as the point prevalence of five consecutive years, and as a cohort prevalence for the birth cohorts, which result from the difference of age and year at diagnosis. Trend analyses were executed using join point regression. Results A completeness of 98% (95% CI 89–100) was determined for the period from 2012 to 2019. The standardized incidence rate of type 1 diabetes among children and adolescents increased from 17.1 per 100,000 PY in 1999 to 24.7 per 100,000 PY in 2019. If this trend continues, the incidence rate will increase to 34.8 (95% CI 24.4–49.6) per 100,000 PY in 2030. The point prevalence of 5 consecutive years did not show a continuous trend over time. According to this method, the prevalence reached a plateau in the last segment (2013–2019). The calculation of cohort prevalence indicated a continuous increase from 2013 to 2019 with no significant statistical difference in terms of sex. Conclusion The point prevalence and the last incidence rates indicate that type 1 diabetes of children and adolescents is slowing down or has reached a plateau in Saxony. Nevertheless, the cohort prevalence predicts a steady increase. Future studies should continue investigating these trends in a longer observation period and consider including possible correlating environmental factors.

BACKGROUND: Therapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is still largely an unsolved clinical problem. Despite the introduction into clinical practice of modern insulin preparations, devices for its administration, as well as continuous monitoring of glucose levels, the goals of therapy are often not achieved. At the same time, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) notes an increase in the prevalence and incidence of T1DM in children and adolescents in the world. The Federal Register of Diabetes Mellitus (FRDM) is a dynamically updated database of patients with diabetes, which allows assessing prevalence and incidence rates, achievement of glycemic control goals and the incidence of diabetes complications.AIM: analyze the epidemiological data of T1DM (prevalence, morbidity) in children and adolescents (patients from birth to 18 years of age) in Moscow according to the FRSD data and to assess their dynamics, as well as the dynamics of achieving the goals of glycemic control and the incidence of T1DM complications in 2015-2020.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The object of the study is a sample from the database of the Moscow segment of the FRDM of a cohort of patients with type 1 diabetes under 18 years of age who were registered for the period 01.01.2015-01.01.2021. Epidemiological prevalence and incidence rates are calculated per 100,000 of the relevant population.RESULTS: the number of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in Moscow as of 01.01.2021 was 4024 people (2962 children and 1062 adolescents). Over the period from 2015 to 2020, there was an increase in the prevalence of T1DM (possibly due to an increase in the quality of data registration in the FRSD) and a decrease in the incidence of both children and adolescents. There was also a decrease in the level of HbA1c and the proportion of patients with HbAc1> 8.0% among children with T1DM. Both children and adolescents with T1DM showed a decrease in the incidence of diabetic coma and ketoacidosis with a simultaneous increase in the incidence of severe hypoglycemia, as well as a decrease in the incidence of retinopathy and nephropathy. However, the incidence of neuropathy decreased among children and increased among adolescents.CONCLUSION: The data obtained on the dynamic management of adolescents with T1DM are the basis for considering the development of a profile program for their dynamic observation, taking into account the need for psychological and social support for patients and their families.
