(2023-08-01). Pediatric Mental Health Hospitalizations at US Acute Care Hospitals. jamanetwork.com To the Editor A recent study highlighted substantial increases in pediatric mental health hospitalizations in the US from 2009 to 2019. It is noteworthy that the time frame included in this analysis predated the COVID-19 pandemic, which led many to declare a national pediatric mental health crisis. Had this study included data from 2020 onward, the findings would likely have been even more dire.

(2023-08-01). Treatment Effects of Therapeutic-Dose Heparin in Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19. jamanetwork.com To the Editor A recent study of treatment effects of therapeutic-dose heparin in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 analyzed patients on the ward (treatment-dose heparin was efficacious) separately from critically ill patients (treatment-dose heparin was not efficacious). The authors described this trial design as "fortuitous." However, we are concerned that the no-difference result in critically ill patients may have occurred because subcutaneous depot dosing of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) has poor systemic exposure in critically ill patients, particularly in those receiving vasopressors.
