“…Graphical presentation of PPR and NPR could prove to be an efficient teaching tool, based on an approach that has been developed by Johnson [31]. As suggested by Walter et al [32], the "assumption of a binary disease state is unrealistic in much of the clinical practice." The utility of the new measures in nonbinary situations should be explored in the future.…”

“…Responses were analyzed using standardized tabulations—descriptive statistics were used to describe demographic variables, and percentages were used to summarize categorical data.

This decision was driven by the distribution of the data and ease of interpretation.…”

Objectives: Acute gastroenteritis is a very common emergency department (ED) diagnosis accounting for greater than 1.5 million outpatient visits and 200,000 hospitalizations annually among children in the United States. Although guidelines exist to assist clinicians, they do not clearly address topics for which evidence is new or limited, including the use of antiemetic agents, probiotics, and intravenous (IV) fluid rehydration regimens. This study sought to describe the ED treatments administered to children with acute gastroenteritis and to compare management between Canadian and U.S. physicians practicing pediatric emergency medicine (PEM).Methods: Members of PEM research networks located in Canada and the United States were invited to participate in a cross-sectional, Internet-based survey. Participants were included if they are attending physicians and provide care to patients < 18 years of age in an ED.
