Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Background:

Screen-viewing is a primary entertainment source for children during unstructured time.
The prevalence of screen-time varies significantly across different income countries.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the burden of childhood screen-time.
To identify factors associated with screen-time.
To evaluate the health impacts and interventions for reducing screen-time in children under five.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was conducted across major databases (PubMed, Scopus, etc.) from January 2009 to June 2018.
Key Medical Subject Headings were used to identify relevant studies.
The social ecological model was applied to analyze associated factors.

Main Results:

Screen-time burden ranged from 21% to 98% in middle-income and 10% to 93.7% in high-income countries.
Factors included child, caregiver, and digital media environment variables.
Intervention effectiveness in reducing screen-time varied, with some showing minimal or negative impact.

Conclusions:

Clinicians should inquire about and advise on age-appropriate screen-time limits.
Further research is needed on screen-time burden and intervention effectiveness in Indian settings due to limited data.
