Description

Advances in Pediatrics, 2026 reviews the year's most important findings and updates in pediatrics, giving pediatricians and primary care providers the current clinical information they need to improve patient outcomes. A distinguished editorial board led by Dr. Carol Berkowitz identifies key areas of major progress and controversy and invites leading specialists to contribute original articles on these topics. The overviews bring concepts to a clinical level and explore their everyday impact on patient care, from adolescent addiction and contraception to newborn screening, food allergy, and climate stewardship in the clinic.

Key Features

- More than twenty topic-based clinical reviews, including adolescent opioid addiction, food allergies in pediatric patients, hidradenitis in pediatrics, sleep disturbances in pediatric craniofacial syndromes, newborn screening and care in cystic fibrosis, climate stewardship, and the management of foreign bodies such as beads, coins, and magnets.
- Practical clinical focus: authors synthesize recent research and practice guidelines into reviews that offer actionable insights for everyday pediatric practice, for example in managing type 1 diabetes in children, pain in sickle cell disease, and restraint reduction for agitated pediatric patients.
- Editorial board led by Dr. Carol Berkowitz, with associate editors Jane Carver, Daniel DeUgarte, Surendra Varma, and Charlotte Lewis.
