Femoral vein catheterization showed the highest infection rate (82%). In the internal validation set, the AUCs of LR, XGBoost, DT, SVM, and RF were 0.89, 0.86, 0.87, 0.88, and 0.95, respectively; in the external validation set, they were 0.89, 0.88, 0.87, 0.93, and 0.96. The RF model achieved the highest accuracy in both internal (0.91) and external (0.90) validation sets, while SVM showed the highest external accuracy (0.92). Precision ranged from 0.79 to 0.89, recall from 0.27 to 0.31, and F1 scores from 0.42 to 0.45. SHAP analysis showed that puncture duration was the most important predictor, followed by catheterized vein and mechanical ventilation–related variables.ConclusionsThe RF model demonstrated superior performance in predicting CRBSI risk in preterm infants with PICC placement. This model may facilitate early identification of high-risk patients and support clinical decision-making.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1866647 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1866647 2026-08-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Jianshan HuangXiating HuangZhanpeng QiuHui Li  0.05). The total fever duration and hospital stay were significantly longer in the mutation group than in the non-mutation group (P < 0.05). Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer (D-D), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were significantly higher in the mutation group (P < 0.05). No significant differences between the two groups of children regarding antibiotic regimen selection and the use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (P > 0.05). The usage rate of glucocorticoids in the mutation group was significantly higher than that in the non-mutation group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that elevated levels of CRP, D-D, LDH and Glucocorticoid Therapy were independently associated with the A2063G mutation.ConclusionThe A2063G mutation may be associated with prolonged hospital stay, total fever duration, glucocorticoid use, and elevated serum CRP, D-D, and LDH levels. Furthermore, certain independent correlations are present between these clinical parameters. Early identification of this mutation during the initial stages of the disease could provide crucial guidance for adjusting clinical management strategies.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1912583 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1912583 2026-08-12T00:00:00Z Case Report Jiarong ChenYoucai FengJiabo ChenDanping ZengHua LiHongjun Gao https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1947631 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1947631 2026-08-12T00:00:00Z Correction Hanwen LuoJianghua HeDapeng ChenXiaoming XuJing ZhaoXiaoyan YangJing Shi https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1907180 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1907180 2026-08-12T00:00:00Z Original Research Shigeo Iijima https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1911394 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1911394 2026-08-12T00:00:00Z Original Research Shanshan ChenRong LiNa ShiQinxing XieWenqiang Liu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1886291 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1886291 2026-08-12T00:00:00Z Study Protocol Alisa GschaidmeierKim LoryKevin MöriAndré MoserTobias NefKathleen SeidelCristina Simon-MartinezMiriam Von GuntenJonathan WermelingerRoland WiestRegula EvertsSebastian Grunt https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1894739 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1894739 2026-08-12T00:00:00Z Original Research ZiHua LinLin YeLiuQing LiaoDiHao TangXueMei LinWeiZhe ShiJianQun WangYiQiang Li https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1887012 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1887012 2026-08-12T00:00:00Z Original Research Zheng LiQinfa ChenZhiyong ZhouFei He https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1842381 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1842381 2026-08-11T00:00:00Z Original Research Ruo-Yu CaoWei-Chao HeYa-Bin YuShan-Shan Tong  0.05). Significant intergroup differences were observed for obesity, inhalant allergen sensitization, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, history of recurrent respiratory infections, and family history of allergic diseases (all p < 0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis confirmed these six factors as significantly associated with pediatric CTVA (all p < 0.05).ntified these six factors as potential independent risk factors for pediatric CTVA (all p < 0.05)ConclusionChildren with CTVA have higher FeNO levels and lower FEV1/FVC, PEF, FEF25, FEF50, and FEF75 compared to healthy peers. Obesity, inhalant allergens, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, recurrent respiratory infections, and family history of allergic diseases showed significant univariate associations with pediatric CTVA in this exploratory cohort. Combined assessment of FeNO and small airway parameters may aid in the diagnostic evaluation of CTVA, although further diagnostic accuracy studies are needed.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1871728 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1871728 2026-08-11T00:00:00Z Original Research Cansu AltuntaşAlaaddin AydınMey TalipGülden ÖzekTaylan ŞahinAli KoçyiğitEryiğit ErenMehmet TokaçAyhan Dinçkan https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1857511 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1857511 2026-08-11T00:00:00Z Case Report Ning XieYan SuiYanyan ZhangLeihong ZhangJiashan LiYing SunXiuxiang Liu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1921366 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1921366 2026-08-11T00:00:00Z Systematic Review S.

Key implementation facilitators included receptive organizational culture and stakeholder engagement, whereas barriers encompassed training burden and competing institutional priorities. Based on these findings, we propose that AB-FICareTM implementation should move from one-size-fits-all adoption toward context-sensitive adaptation, integrating robust lactation support, post-discharge mental health services, and system-level coordination into a comprehensive framework covering NICU stay through community-based follow-up. Future research should prioritize long-term neurodevelopmental follow-up, formal cost-effectiveness analyses adhering to CHEERS standards, and multi-site validation across diverse healthcare settings to establish the generalizability and sustainability of AB-FICareTM benefits beyond the Canadian context.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1911388 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fped.2026.1911388 2026-08-11T00:00:00Z Original Research Hung Viet DauTuoi Nguyen ThiLam Hoang KimCuong Le NhatCanh Ngoc Hoang
