The pervasive integration of digital media into the lives of children and adolescents has generated significant concern regarding its impact on developmental health. While associations between high levels of screen time and negative outcomes are frequently reported, the precise dose-response relationship remains poorly quantified, leaving clinicians and parents without evidence-based thresholds for guidance. This study aimed to quantitatively synthesize the evidence linking daily screen time duration to the risk of adverse behavioral outcomes in youth. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and Scopus was conducted through February 2025. Observational studies that reported quantifiable measures of daily screen time and validated assessments of behavioral outcomes in individuals aged 3-18 years were included. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). A two-stage, random-effects dose-response meta-analysis using restricted cubic splines was employed to model the non-linear association between screen time (in hours/day) and the odds of adverse behavioral outcomes. From an initial 4,891 records, 7 key studies comprising 46,882 participants were included in the quantitative synthesis. The dose-response analysis revealed a significant, non-linear relationship. Compared to 30 minutes of daily screen time, the pooled odds ratio (OR) for adverse behavioral outcomes was minimal at 1 hour/day (OR 1.05; 95% CI, 0.97-1.14) but began to increase significantly thereafter. The risk became more pronounced at 2 hours/day (OR 1.31; 95% CI, 1.17-1.47), rose substantially at 4 hours/day (OR 1.82; 95% CI, 1.60-2.07), and continued to climb at 6 hours/day (OR 2.55; 95% CI, 2.15-3.03). The association was stronger in preschool-aged children compared to adolescents. In conclusion, this focused meta-analysis provides quantitative evidence for a dose-dependent association between daily screen time and behavioral problems in youth, with a notable increase in risk observed beyond two hours per day. These findings provide an evidence-based foundation for clinical guidance and public health recommendations aimed at mitigating the behavioral risks of excessive digital media exposure during critical developmental periods.

Background: Dengue virus infection represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric populations across endemic regions. The progression to severe disease is characterized by a critical phase of plasma leakage. The World Health Organization (WHO) has established warning signs to aid in clinical triage, yet the independent clinical significance of these signs, particularly abdominal pain and vomiting, requires more precise clarification to optimize patient management. Methods: This study was a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis conducted at Wangaya General Hospital in Denpasar, Indonesia. Electronic medical records of 172 pediatric patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of dengue between January and May 2024 were reviewed. The primary outcome was significant plasma leakage, defined as a hematocrit increase of 20% or more from the admission baseline. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association of abdominal pain and vomiting with plasma leakage, controlling for the confounding effects of age, gender, and the day of fever at assessment. Results: In the multivariate logistic regression model, the presence of abdominal pain was independently and significantly associated with an increased likelihood of plasma leakage (Adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR]: 2.15, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.05–4.41; p=0.036). Conversely, the association for vomiting was not statistically significant after adjustment for confounders (aOR: 1.25, 95% CI: 0.65–2.42; p=0.508). The co-occurrence of both symptoms was also identified as a significant indicator of plasma leakage in the adjusted model (aOR: 2.09, 95% CI: 1.01–4.34; p=0.047). Conclusion: In this retrospective analysis of a hospitalized pediatric study, abdominal pain emerged as a robust independent correlate of significant plasma leakage, whereas vomiting did not. This differential association suggests that abdominal pain should be weighted more heavily in the clinical assessment of children with dengue as a key indicator of ongoing or impending hemoconcentration. These findings, while limited by their retrospective nature, can help refine clinical risk assessment in resource-constrained settings.

Background: The management of pain and agitation in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is critical for patient comfort and preventing adverse outcomes. A wide array of sedation and analgesia strategies exists, but a synthesized appraisal of contemporary evidence is needed to guide clinical practice. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy and safety of various pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for sedation and analgesia in critically ill children. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and CINAHL for studies published between January 2020 and December 2024. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, two independent reviewers screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool for Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for observational studies. Results: From 4,366 identified records, five studies (two RCTs, three observational) involving 875 patients met the inclusion criteria. Study 1, an RCT (n=120), found that adjunctive ketamine significantly reduced mechanical ventilation duration by a mean of 2.1 days (95% CI: 1.2-3.0, p=0.001) compared to standard care. Study 3, a prospective cohort study (n=350), linked continuous sedation to longer PICU stays (median 9 vs. 6 days, p<0.001) and a higher incidence of iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (45% vs. 18%, p<0.001) compared to intermittent sedation. Study 4, an RCT on music therapy (n=85), demonstrated a significant reduction in postoperative pain scores. Observational studies supported the opioid-sparing effects of multimodal analgesia (Study 5) and noted differences in recovery profiles between midazolam and propofol (Study 2). Conclusion: This review highlights the benefits of a multimodal, goal-directed approach to pediatric sedation and analgesia. Adjunctive ketamine and non-pharmacological interventions show promise in reducing opioid reliance and improving clinical outcomes. Protocols favoring intermittent sedation may reduce length of stay and withdrawal incidence. These findings support a paradigm shift away from deep, continuous sedation towards more nuanced, patient-centered strategies.
