Aim & Scope
The aim of SVOA Paediatrics journal is to provide a platform for the publication of high-quality scientific research, clinical advancements, and innovations in the field of paediatric medicine and paediatric surgery. The journal aims to promote the well-being and optimal healthcare of infants, children, and adolescents by disseminating knowledge, facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations, and fostering evidence-based practices. It seeks to engage paediatricians, paediatric surgeons, healthcare professionals, and researchers dedicated to the care of paediatric patients.
The journal covers a broad range of topics within the field of paediatric medicine and paediatric surgery, including but not limited to:
General Paediatrics: Research focused on the overall care and management of paediatric patients, including studies on paediatric health promotion, growth and development, preventive medicine, immunizations, common paediatric illnesses, and chronic diseases in children. This includes research on clinical practices, guidelines, and outcomes in general paediatrics.
Paediatric Surgery: Research related to surgical interventions in infants, children, and adolescents includes studies on paediatric surgical techniques, outcomes, complications, and innovations. This encompasses a wide range of subspecialties, such as paediatric orthopaedic surgery, paediatric cardiac surgery, paediatric neurosurgery, paediatric urology, paediatric plastic surgery, paediatric gastrointestinal surgery, paediatric thoracic surgery, paediatric hepatobiliary surgery, paediatric transplant surgery, paediatric ENT surgery (otolaryngology), paediatric ophthalmic surgery, paediatric endocrine surgery, paediatric fetal surgery, paediatric pain management in surgery, paediatric robotic surgery, paediatric emergency surgery, and paediatric minimally invasive surgery.
Neonatology and Perinatal Medicine: Research focused on the care of newborn infants, including studies on neonatal intensive care, neonatal resuscitation, neonatal infections, neonatal nutrition, prematurity, and developmental outcomes of premature infants.
