CKS Updates - July 2024
During July 2024 Clinical Knowledge Summaries were published or updated in the following areas.
- Developmental rheumatology in children
- Eating disorders
- Endometriosis
- GORD in children
- Lipid modification - CVD prevention
- Migraine
- Prostatitis - acute
- Shingles
All of the topics have been reviewed and updated with minor structural and layout changes. The Developmental rheumatology in children topic now includes an assessment section and information has been added where GP reassurance may be sufficient with no referral necessary. The GORD in children topic has been amended to improve clarity and navigation, and a link to the First Steps Nutrition Trust resources has been added. The Migraine topic has been updated regarding the recently launched topiramate pregnancy prevention programme with candesartan or sodium valproate included as alternative treatment options. A recommendation to seek specialist advice about anti-emetic use in pregnant and breastfeeding women has been added.
Action: Clinicians who see patients with any of these conditions may find the new and updated information useful when reviewing current clinical practice.
