The contribution of weight estimation errors to drug dosing errors is unknown. We describe methods used to obtain weights and resulting drug dosing errors. Methods As part of a quality improvement study in 16 EMS agencies, we conducted four simulated pediatric scenarios seizing, hypoglycemic infant, infant cardiac arrest, 18-month old burn and a 5-year old with anaphylactic shock. Crews used their regular drug bags and equipment. Simulations were observed by study team members with video review and scored on a standardized scoring sheet. Results 142 scenarios were completed. Methods to obtain patient weights were asking parent 17/142 (12.0%), patient age 35/142 (24.8%) and Broselow-Luten Tape (BLT) 89/142 (63.1%). There were 19 (13.4% 95% CI 8.5, 20.0) incorrect weight estimations resulting in 18 (12.7% 95% CI 8.2, 19.2) dosing errors (1 asking parent, 9 patient age and 8 BLT). Ten dosing errors were directly caused by weight estimation errors. In 41/89 (46.1% 95%CI 36.1, 56.4) BLT uses there was a near-miss error that did not result in a dosing error. One pound to kilogram conversion error occurred. Conclusions BLT is the most frequently used method to obtain a patient weight. Drug dosing errors were most frequent with patient age, followed by BLT and asking the parent. System-based solutions-weight determination hierarchy, not using the BLT on seated patients, and more frequent training and practice with the BLT-are needed to improve drug-dosing accuracy.Background This study investigated the potential molecular mechanism of circular RNA HIPK3 (circHIPK3) in breast cancer (BCa). Methods BCa cells were transfected with miR-326 mimic, miR-326 inhibitor, circHIPK3, sicircHIPK3. The expressions of circHIPK3 and miR-326 in BCa tissues and BCa cell lines were determined by RT-qPCR. Cell viability, colon
