Refeeding Hypophosphatemia in Hospitalized Adolescents With Anorexia Nervosa
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 71Issue 4p517–520Published in issue: October, 2022- The Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine
Cited in Scopus: 1Refeeding hypophosphatemia in hospitalized adolescents with anorexia nervosa is correlated with degree of malnutrition, with a high index of suspicion for severely malnourished patients (<70% median body mass index). Weight history (greater magnitude or rate of weight loss prior to admission) regardless of presentation weight has also been associated with lower serum phosphate. Higher energy meal-based refeeding starting at 2,000 kcal has not been shown to be associated with higher rates of refeeding hypophosphatemia than the traditional standard of care, lower energy refeeding. - Position paper

Extension of the EUA for a COVID-19 vaccine to children and adolescents aged 5 through 15 years is exciting news for children, adolescents, parents, and providers of AYA. Many countries around the globe have extended immunization against COVID-19 to younger age groups. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decrease globally in administration of other adolescent vaccines. - Position paper
Recommendations for Promoting the Health and Well-being of Sexual and Gender–diverse Adolescents Through Supportive Families and Affirming Support Networks
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 70Issue 4p692–696Published online: February 15, 2022- The Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine
Cited in Scopus: 0Adolescent and young adult (AYA) health care providers (HCPs) frequently serve sexual and gender–diverse (SGD) youth. Sexual orientation refers to a person's sexual identity in relation to the gender(s) to which they are attracted. Gender-diverse, sometimes addressed as gender-expansive, persons are a subset of the population whose gender identity, expressions, or behaviors differ from those typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth in the society in which they live. These constructs may develop separately, and terminology should acknowledge and include the broad range of SGD identities that exist.
