Preface

In 1921, the same year that he won the Nobel Prize for physics, Albert Einstein was touring the United States as an international celebrity. He was considered one of the most brilliant scientific minds of the time, and he drew large crowds wherever he traveled. On May 17, 1921, while passing through South Station in Boston, Massachusetts, a reporter asked Einstein, “What is the speed of sound?”1 It is not clear if the reporter expected Einstein to recite an exact figure.2 Instead, Einstein reportedly replied, “I don’t know. I don’t burden my memory with such facts that I can easily find in any textbook.”

With the completion of the ninth edition of The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult, this anecdote seems like an appropriate way to reintroduce this new version of the textbook. The science and the art of pediatric care today require knowledge of great breadth and depth. In addition, each month brings new advances in the prevention and management of pediatric disease. Even for a pediatrician, who may be as gifted as Einstein, it is not possible to remember all such clinical information. However, once again, The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult, Ninth Edition, offers a valuable resource to have this information at your fingertips or on your screen. The goal of our team has been to help unburden your memory with clinical facts that you can easily find in this textbook.

Each chapter in The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult is designed to give the reader a quick overview. A clinician in a busy office or emergency department can quickly look up a description of each condition as well as what key questions to ask in a history, what findings to look for during the examination, and what tests are most important to prioritize to confirm a diagnosis. Each chapter also includes a differential of other diagnoses to consider and a concise summary of treatment options. For clinicians who need more information, each chapter also includes more information on the etiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, and prognosis of each condition. Finally, for those who want to further explore the topic, there are suggestions for additional reading as well as potential “frequently asked questions” that add even further depth and flavor to each chapter.

Don’t let the length of the chapters underestimate effort crafted into each page. Although each of the chapters is only two pages of reading, each topic represents years of clinical experience as well as countless hours of research, writing, and editing. The authors of these chapters have demonstrated great skill in distilling large amounts of information into an easily accessible 5-minute synopsis or “consult” on a range of clinical topics.

Medicine is constantly changing, and since the eighth edition, we have added even more chapters to our collection of over 500 chapters in this edition. For example, there are new chapters on COVID-19, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome of Childhood (MIS-C), and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). We have updated each chapter with the most recent information on each topic.

Once again, I am fortunate to work with a diverse, distinguished, and talented team of associate editors, who have recruited accomplished authors for each topic. I have learned from each comment on each draft of each chapter they edited and reviewed. The team includes returning associate editors Megan L. Curran, MD; Linda A. DiMeglio, MD, MPH; W. Christopher Golden, MD; Terry Kind, MD, MPH; Carlton K.K. Lee, PharmD, MPH; and Camille Sabella, MD, who are joined by several new associate editors, including, Beatrice Goilav, MD; Alice Lee, MD; Solomon L. “Nico” Moshé, MD; Nicole J. Sutton, MD; and John F. Thompson, MD.

The reference to Einstein is also appropriate, as many of the editors of this new edition are from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York. Since the publication of the last edition, I have the pleasure of serving as Chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the Einstein College of Medicine and the Physician-in-Chief at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore. I am indebted to our health system and medical school leadership including the president and chief executive officer, Philip O. Ozuah, MD, PhD, who has created an environment that promotes excellence, collaboration, and growth. I appreciate the support and advice of Yaron Tomer, MD; Andrew D. Racine, MD, PhD; and Catherine Skae, MD, whose consistent help and encouragement has allowed me to move this project forward. Finally, I would also like to thank the staff at Wolters Kluwer, especially Cindy Yoo, Eric McDermott, James Sherman; and Harold Medina, who have helped us develop, organize and present this work so beautifully.

We hope this book will continue to be an indispensable and efficient resource so that you can spend more time to focus on the patient in front of you. Welcome to this ninth edition of The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult.
