UF researchers create model to help clinicians identify high-risk patients
For many children, anemia develops quietly. The earliest stages often go unnoticed, with few symptoms to signal that the body has begun to decline. By the time fatigue, irritability or difficulty concentrating become apparent, the condition may already be affecting a child’s growth and development.
That challenge led University of Florida pediatricians Maria N. Kelly, M.D., and Molly Posa, M.D., to explore how clinicians could better identify children at risk for anemia, including those who may not show obvious symptoms.

Medicine is a constantly evolving field, with new treatments, technologies and techniques aiming to make patients’ most challenging days better. For the healthcare teams behind it all, University of Florida experts have created Knowledgebase, a free, one-stop resource hub centralizing the tools busy health professionals need to conduct their own quality improvement initiatives.

On average, it can take up to 10 years for a woman to be diagnosed with endometriosis, a chronic condition that can cause debilitating pain, inflammation and infertility.
For University of Florida Health minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons Nash Moawad, M.D., M.S., and Amira Quevedo, M.D., that timeline represents a significant delay that’s not acceptable — patients deserve better, they said.
