Abstract

Introduction:The pediatric Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for initial outpatient TTE aim to reduce practice variation. Little is known on the degree of variation in TTE use between physicians. Understanding the drivers of this variation will help identify areas for improvement in standardization of TTE use.Methods:This is a secondary analysis from a retrospective review of initial outpatient visits at 6 pediatric cardiology centers in the US prior to AUC release. Visit indications, patient and physician variables, and TTE use rates were recorded. Multilevel, generalized variance reduction models for TTE use were generated. Forward selection identified combinations of variables that explained the most variance in TTE use between physicians. Due to collinearity, reimbursement and center were analyzed separately.Results:Of 2,883 encounters, the most common indication was murmur (36%), followed by chest pain (15.2%). Overall TTE use was 41.9%, and varied widely between centers (22.9% to 52.6%), and between physicians within centers (Figure). Center alone explained 29% of this physician variance. Adding physician characteristics increased the variance explained to 57%, which only minimally improved by adding patient characteristics. The variance explained was driven by subspecialty, with the highest odds of TTE in noninvasive imaging (2.1 TTE vs. no TTE). The center-based multivariable model explained more variance over reimbursement (63% v. 51%).Conclusions:Center, independent of patient and physician variables, was the single largest determinant of physician variance in TTE use, followed by physician subspecialty. Efforts to reduce practice variation, such as the AUC, should be employed across centers and all pediatric cardiac providers. Center appears to have a stronger impact on variance than reimbursement model, though in this dataset the effect of center and reimbursement are hard to separate from each other and deserve further evaluation.

Abstract

The burden of clinically-apparent cardiac injury secondary to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in school-age children is unclear. Over 12 months at a large academic pediatric hospital in the Midwestern portion of the United States, there were 1481 COVID-19 positive non-hospitalized otherwise healthy schoolaged children with 195 having cardiac testing performed. While incidental findings occurred, no definitive COVID-19 related cardiac pathology was discovered. Additionally, only ~3% of children had acute cardiac symptoms necessitating evaluation by pediatric cardiology. School-age children who were not hospitalized for COVID-19 have a very low risk of having clinically significant cardiac damage and are more likely to discover incidental findings., Competing Interests: None, (Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría.)
