Official title
Prevalence of Acute Rehabilitation for Kids in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Overview
This study investigates the prevalence of acute rehabilitation practices among children in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
Detailed description
This is a prospective observational study conducted across 13 hospitals. Data will be collected at three predefined time points to assess the prevalence of acute rehabilitation practices among children in pediatric intensive care units.
Interventions
- Other Acute Rehabilitation (Observed Practice)
This study does not assign any interventions. It observes routine clinical practices of acute rehabilitation provided to children in pediatric intensive care units as part of standard care.
Primary outcome measures
- Proportion of Participants Who Received Acute Rehabilitation [Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Number of Acute Rehabilitation Sessions per Participant [Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period]
- Number of Participants by Type of Rehabilitation Intervention [Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period]
- Proportion of sessions Involving Assistive Devices [Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period]
- Number of Sessions by Delivery Method [Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period]
- Odds Ratios for Factors Associated With Absence of Acute Rehabilitation [Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Children and adolescents aged 18 years or younger who have been admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for at least 72 hours as of 9:00 AM on the predefined study date at participating hospitals.
