- Methodologic Flaws, Wrong Answers, and Right Questions: Pediatric Office Emergencies .
- In their study of the frequency of medical emergencies in pediatric offices in a small, rural state, Heath et al1 reached a questionable conclusion that may potentially harm pediatricians and their patients. Their statement that "serious medical emergencies are rare events in the primary care pediatric office" goes beyond their data and appears to reflect several methodologic and analytic flaws: .
- In the retrospective study phase, there is a distinct possibility of recall bias in asking pediatricians to remember office emergencies that occurred up to 1 year ago. ...
- Regarding the prospective study component, assessing the frequency of office emergencies based on "the need to use the emergency kit" is fundamentally flawed. ...
- " This is a classic tautology: the emergency by definition must be rare (not usual or customary), and the authors indeed find that emergencies are rare! It would seem that the definition of office emergencies should be determined by office pediatricians or diagnostic categories, as other researchers3,4 (including myself5) have concluded. Use of such more realistic definitions might have avoided Heath et al's dubious finding (Table 3) that only 10 asthma office emergencies occurred in 1 year in the whole state of Vermont. ...
- The authors suddenly extrapolate their findings to the nation, concluding that "serious medical emergencies are rare events in the primary care pediatric office. " This contradicts findings from all other studies3-6 on the prevalence of pediatric office emergencies, which should have alerted the authors to flaws in their study design. In addition, this conclusion gives the impression that the authors have "shot themselves in their own foot," because, if the emergencies were so rare in Vermont, why did they bother performing their extensive educational intervention? .
- The erroneous conclusion that "serious medical emergencies are rare events in the primary care pediatric office, occurring less than once per office per year" may produce a false complacency in the office pediatrician, leading him or her to be unequipped and unprepared for common, serious events. For example, we found that there was a median of 24 emergencies per pediatric office practice annually in Fairfield County, including at least 1 emergency monthly in 82% of practices, at least 50 emergencies annually in 25% of practices, and >100 emergencies per year in 1 of 8 practices. 5 Pediatric office emergencies should not be dismissed as "rarities" based on a single, flawed study that ignores the findings of all other studies. 3-6 We owe it to the children we care for to be prepared for their life-threatening office emergencies and to make clinical decisions based on rigorous data. ...
