CDC sees drop in cold medication-related
ED visits for toddlers
CDC researchers said the number of
children below age 2 who were taken to
the emergency department for adverse
reactions from cough and cold
medications decreased by more than
50% between the 14 months before and
the 14 months after the products were
pulled from the market. However,
researchers noted that two-thirds of
the ED visits before and after
withdrawal involved unsupervised
ingestion of the medications.

Researchers tie nighttime birth to
brain problems in babies
Babies born between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.
were 22% more likely than those
born during the daytime to develop
brain problems, a study of about 2

first-born babies, and those with mothers
older than 35 or who did not have
prenatal care also had a higher risk of
brain problems, researchers found.

Study: 40% of ED patients
have low health literacy
U.S. researchers reported about 40% of
emergency department patients have
limited health literacy, which may
influence their reasons for seeking ED
care and their outcomes. The study
found that the low health literacy
group had skills assessed at or below
the eighth-grade level, while ED
patient materials usually are written
at or above the ninth-grade level.
