Great example of how legislation matters — no surprise that states with more liberal carrying laws have higher rates of firearm mortality.

New meta-analysis shows children with #AKI have impaired growth—especially infants. Involving 3,586 children across 17 cohorts, those with #AKI had significantly lower height and weight z-scores than those without.

Growth monitoring should be a priority after pediatric #AKI.
