Their stance may put their required clinical training and, eventually, their nursing careers at risk.

This study compared fractures and fracture sites in pediatric patients who had been exposed to PPI to those who had not. Between July 1, 2011, and December 31, 2015, encounters for patients aged 6 months to 15.5 years were discovered in the Pediatric Hospital Information System database.

PPI interactions were matched to non-PPI encounters on the basis of inclination. Following the initial contact, patients were assessed for hospitalizations due to fracture during a 2-year period. The PPI-exposed group had a statistically significant increased risk of fractures. After controlling for remaining differences in gender, ethnicity, encounter type, p...
