NCT03404999
Approaches are needed to help primary-care pediatricians address high blood pressure. This study will test whether an electronic health-record-based tool to address high blood pressure is feasible and improves the evaluation and management of high blood pressure in clinical practice. If successful, this approach can be used to address other lifestyle-related and complex health problems (e.g., dyslipidemia and diabetes), then disseminated and used nationwide. The investigators have developed a new, electronic health-record (EHR)-based tool that is designed to help pediatricians: 1. IDENTIFY AND DOCUMENT 1. when a child's blood pressure is elevated, and 2. whether it has been elevated before--including number of prior elevations to document the correct diagnosis (for example, elevated blood pressure, vs. hypertension stage 1, vs. hypertension stage 2), THEN 2. ORDER the next action(s) needed per guideline-based recommendations, AND per prior actions taken--including: 1. laboratories and studies per 2017 updated guidelines 2. follow-up interval in primary care 3. referral to nephrology, when indicated, and 4. patient education on diet/lifestyle modification. The investigators are working on improving this system further with addition of orders for: 1. referral for sleep-apnea testing and treatment, when indicated, and 2. blood-pressure medications (for example, initiation, titration, or addition of agents depending on blood-pressure control, comorbid conditions \[e.g., diabetes\], and risk for pregnancy)
NCT04379180
The use of bosentan, sildenafil and tadalafil in neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) depends mostly on the empirical experience of pediatricians. Moreover, the recommended dose of those three drugs in treating PPHN remains controversial. Therefore, our aim is to study the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of bosentan, sildenafil and tadalafil in neonates of PPHN then dose a tailor-made therapeutic regimen.
