Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians. Today, with a bonus interview with Mr Josh Totty, NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Plastic Surgery:
Prep for an LP, stat! We previously talked in an Archimedes about the really low chance of meningitis in UTI in infants [https://adc.bmj.com/content/96/6/602.2] but what about those infants with actual bacteraemia and a UTI - are they the group at higher risk who need invasive investigation? Listen on or read here to find out https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/1/79.1 
You’ll be glad to hear that the PICO is taken to task as well this month too https://adc.bmj.com/content/110/1/79.2 
We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes]. Just ask the questions that your patients are offering you - and tell us how you’re finding the podcast offerings.

It’s tricky to do balancing sometimes, and while you might not immediately think of it, a door can sometimes open your way to a new way of considering stuff as we talk about, but you can read about too: https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/12/1036.2
Then there’s something we often do think about. And struggle with. How do we know how long terms meds might affect people in the long term? What about melatonin for severe sleep disturbance? It’s a good job someone’s done the work for you and the detailed outputs are very readable: https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/12/1036.1

It might come as a surprise to those who aren’t surgeons, but we have (quite excellent) interview proof of how a clinical question with solidly debatable options led to a trainee-led clinical trial in plastic surgery and onwards to a more straightforward approach to fixing nail-bed injuries. You can read more about it here - https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/11/954.1 
We also talk - less interestingly - about the way that sometimes phrases which suggest expertise don’t always mean the same in clinical practice guidelines -

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians: 
Fairly frequently we who are sub-, or sub-sub- specialised will look at some research which we don’t want to agree with and say “But it doesn’t apply to My Special Darlings!”. And most of the time we’re wrong - after all, children who present with the same condition often have the same condition, regardless of what else they’re having going on at the same time. Sometimes there might be a feature which meaningfully alter disease trajectory in respect of the new illness though, and we need to ask: “Are my darlings different?”. That query is investigated this month https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/10/861.1 
We also ask the questions “When should we stop?”, and “How should we decide?” - https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/10/861.2

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians: 
We all know opiates can constipate folks very badly. Some of us from personal experience. We know hospitalisation, not eating well, and not moving much make it worse. And we all should recognise the significant drop in quality of life that comes with severe constipation. There’s been an explosion of treatments for grown/ups in this realm - so could we be using the PAMORA drugs for kids  [read more at https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/9/767.1] and how different are kids than adults anyway?
