MS. ORRBINE:
Our controls were children who
had been admitted to the same hospital as their
matched HUS child for at least five days of
treatment for either an appendicitis, cellulitis,
fracture of the femur, osteomyelitis or
pneumonia.
We selected these diagnoses
because they had a length of stay that in most
cases was comparable to those children with HUS
and thereby controlling for behavioral changes
owing to the hospitalization, itself. And those
issues have come up several times through the
various speaker's discussions today.
