Objective
To evaluate a personal computer (PC) gaming platform as a means of improving postural balance in stroke patients.Participants
Stroke patients (N=54) were enrolled and randomly divided into experimental and control groups.Design
The experimental group underwent 12 weeks of rehabilitation involving playing PC games with the proposed gaming platform, whereas the control group played PC games with a computer mouse in the standing position.Interventions
The experimental PC gaming platform allowed trunk movements in 3 directions, including lateral, downward, or upward reaching.Main Outcome Measures
Balance control was assessed before and after the intervention with the Midot Posture Scale Analyzer (a pressure platform) by measuring the center of pressure during quiet stance. The Berg Balance Scale, Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale, and timed Up and Go tests were used to evaluate functional balance.Results
Analysis of covariance was used to assess how the PC games improve balance abilities. There were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in the results of sway kinematics and functional balance tests. The experimental group showed greater improvement than the control group.Conclusion
This new gaming platform with adaptive PC games could be a useful therapy to stroke rehabilitation in patients with postural imbalance. 相似文献2.

Objective
To compare the Mobility Enhancement roBotic (MEBot) wheelchair’s capabilities with commercial electric-powered wheelchairs (EPWs) by performing a systematic usability evaluation.Design
Usability in effectiveness, efficacy, and satisfaction was evaluated using quantitative measures. A semistructured interview was employed to gather feedback about the users’ interaction with MEBot.Setting
Laboratory testing of EPW driving performance with 2 devices in a controlled setting simulating common EPW driving tasks.Participants
A convenience sample of expert EPW users (N=12; 9 men, 3 women) with an average age of 54.7±10.9 years and 16.3± 8.1 years of EPW driving experience.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Powered mobility clinical driving assessment (PMCDA), Satisfaction Questionnaire, National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Task Load Index.Results
Participants were able to perform significantly higher number of tasks (P=.004), with significantly higher scores in both the adequacy-efficacy (P=.005) and the safety (P=.005) domains of the PMCDA while using MEBot over curbs and cross-slopes. However, participants reported significantly higher mental demand (P=.005) while using MEBot to navigate curbs and cross-slopes due to MEBot’s complexity to perform its mobility applications which increased user’s cognitive demands.Conclusions
Overall, this usability evaluation demonstrated that MEBot is a promising EPW device to use indoors and outdoors with architectural barriers such as curbs and cross-slopes. Current design limitations were highlighted with recommendations for further improvement. 相似文献3.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to (1) categorize individuals into high, medium, and low utilizers of health care services over a 10-year period after the onset of spinal cord injury (SCI) and (2) identify the pattern of causes of hospitalizations and the characteristics associated with high utilization.Design
Retrospective analysis of self-report assessment linked to administrative data.Setting
Data were collected from participants living in and utilizing hospitals in the state of South Carolina.Participants
Adult participants with traumatic SCI were identified through a state SCI Surveillance System Registry, a population-based system capturing all incident cases treated in nonfederal facilities. Among 963 participants who completed self-report assessments, we matched those with a minimum of 10 years of administrative records for a final sample of 303 participants (N=303).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Costs related to health care utilization for emergency department visits and hospitalizations, as measured operationally by hospital charges at full and established rates; causes of hospitalizationsResults
Over two-thirds of the total $49.4 million in charges for hospitalization over the 10-year timeframe (69%) occurred among 16.5% of the cohort (high utilizers), whereas those in the low utilizer group comprised 53% of the cohort with only 3.5% of the charges. The primary diagnoses were septicemia (50%), other urinary tract disorder (48%), mechanical complication of device, implant, or graft (48%), and chronic ulcer of skin (40%). Primary diagnoses were frequently accompanied by secondary diagnoses, indicating the co-occurrence of multiple secondary health conditions. High utilizers were more likely to be male, minority, have a severe SCI, have reported frequent pressure ulcers and have income of less than $35,000 per year.Conclusions
The high cost of chronic health care utilization over a 10-year timeframe was concentrated in a relatively small portion of the SCI population who have survived more than a decade after SCI onset. 相似文献5.

Objective
Determine the relationship between functional status and degree of specific organ involvement, physical performance, and subjective well-being chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Design
Observational cohort.Setting
Outpatient clinic.Participants
Adult patients (N=121) with cGVHD with 634 assessments.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS). Skin, fascia/joints, lungs, upper and lower extremity range of motion, liver, eye, mucosal, and gastrointestinal involvement were measured using the National Institutes of Health GVHD scale. Physical performance was assessed with the 2-minute walk test (2MWT) and hand grip strength. Subjective measures were the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) and Lee Symptom Burden (LSB) scale.Results
Myofascial (P<.001) and lung (P=.001) involvement, 2MWT (P<.001), LSB (P<.001), and PHQ-9 (P=.03) had the largest associations with KPS with liver (P=.05) and hand grip strength (P<.001) more modest associations with KPS.Conclusions
Patients with cGVHD experience multifactorial impairment in function associated with potentially modifiable symptoms physiatrists have the expertise to address to enhance function. More research is needed to determine rehabilitation interventions to mitigate the impact of cGVHD on function. 相似文献6.

Objectives
To evaluate the effect of spinal mobilization with leg movement (SMWLM) on low back and leg pain intensity, disability, pain centralization, and patient satisfaction in participants with lumbar radiculopathy.Design
A double-blind randomized controlled trial.Setting
General hospital.Participants
Adults (N=60; mean age 44y) with subacute lumbar radiculopathy.Interventions
Participants were randomly allocated to receive SMWLM, exercise and electrotherapy (n=30), or exercise and electrotherapy alone (n=30). All participants received 6 sessions over 2 weeks.Main Outcome Measures
The primary outcomes were leg pain intensity and Oswestry Disability Index score. Secondary variables were low back pain intensity, global rating of change (GROC), straight leg raise (SLR), and lumbar range of motion (ROM). Variables were evaluated blind at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3 and 6 months of follow-up.Results
Significant and clinically meaningful improvement occurred in all outcome variables. At 2 weeks the SMWLM group had significantly greater improvement than the control group in leg pain (MD 2.0; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.4-2.6) and disability (MD 3.9; 95% CI, 5.5-2.2). Similarly, at 6 months, the SMWLM group had significantly greater improvement than the control group in leg pain (MD 2.6; 95% CI, 1.9-3.2) and disability (MD 4.7; 95% CI, 6.3-3.1). The SMWLM group also reported greater improvement in the GROC and in SLR ROM.Conclusion
In patients with lumbar radiculopathy, the addition of SMWLM provided significantly improved benefits in leg and back pain, disability, SLR ROM, and patient satisfaction in the short and long term. 相似文献7.

Objectives
To investigate behavioral and demographic features of levels of consciousness in young children with brain injury, including the classifications of consciousness: conscious state (CS), minimally conscious state (MCS), and vegetative state (VS), and to investigate the course of recovery in children with disorders of consciousness (DOC).Design
Retrospective chart review and post hoc analysis.Setting
Pediatric inpatient rehabilitation unit.Participants
Children aged 6 months to 5 years (N=54) admitted for inpatient rehabilitation directly from an acute care hospital following new neurologic injury from 2011 to 2016.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Clinically abstracted behavioral features of DOC and levels of consciousness at admission and discharge, based on established guidelines from the Aspen Neurobehavioral Conference Workgroup.Results
Children in MCS were younger than children in CS. Commonly observed behaviors in children in VS were mouth movements or vocalizations, flexion withdrawal or motor posturing, visual or auditory startle, and localization to sound. Common features of MCS were contingent affect, visual fixation or pursuit, automatic motor behavior, and contingent communicative intent. No children in MCS showed command following or intelligible verbalizations. All children in CS showed functional object use, while functional communication was observed in a subset. By discharge, more than half of children in VS emerged to MCS, and a third emerged from MCS to CS. No child emerged from VS to CS.Conclusions
Visual and motor skills may be most applicable, and language-based skills may be least applicable for the assessment of DOC in very young children. Accurate classifications of consciousness may have important prognostic implications, and additional research is needed to develop clear guidelines for assessment of DOC in this population. 相似文献8.

Objective
Determine agreement between self-reported dose and dose reflected in administrative records of outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapies at 6 and 12 months after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), for the purpose of examining accuracy and predictors of accuracy of self-reported health care utilization in this population.Design
Secondary analysis of survey used in a larger study; participants were queried about therapy doses using a structured interview, either alone or assisted by relatives if they so chose, with responses compared to administrative records.Setting
Rehabilitation center providing outpatient TBI therapies.Participants
Sixty-five people with severe TBI living in the community provided 6-month data (N=65); 54 provided 12-month data.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Degree of agreement with administrative records of scheduled and billed therapy appointments, measured using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), with linear regression used to predict accuracy from demographic variables and cognitive status.Results
ICCs were in the moderate range at 6 months, but were more variable, with some in the poor range, at 12 months. Agreement was higher for scheduled than for billed (attended) appointments. Assisted and unassisted patients provided comparable agreement with records. No demographic factors were associated with accuracy, but lower cognitive FIM scores, as hypothesized, tended to predict lower agreement at 6 months.Conclusions
People with severe TBI can provide reasonable estimates of commonly prescribed outpatient therapy doses at 6 months postinjury. Accuracy may be improved by inviting patients to request assistance from relatives and by asking them to consider attended (vs scheduled) sessions. 相似文献9.

Objective
The aim of this project was to determine the effects of lower extremity aerobic exercise coupled with upper extremity repetitive task practice (RTP) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and depressive symptomology in individuals with chronic stroke.Design
Secondary analysis of data from 2 randomized controlled trials.Setting
Research laboratory.Participants
Individuals (N=40) with chronic stroke.Interventions
Participants received one of the following interventions: forced exercise+RTP (FE+RTP, n=16), voluntary exercise+RTP (VE+RTP, n=16), or stroke education+RTP (EDU+RTP, n=8). All groups completed 24 sessions, each session lasting 90 minutes.Main Outcome Measures
The Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) and Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) were used to assess depressive symptomology and HRQOL.Results
There were no significant group-by-time interactions for any of the SIS domains or composite scores. Examining the individual groups following the intervention, those in the FE+RTP and VE+RTP groups demonstrated significant improvements in the following SIS domains: strength, mobility, hand function, activities of daily living, and the physical composite. In addition, the FE+RTP group demonstrated significant improvements in memory, cognitive composite, and percent recovery from stroke. The HRQOL did not change in the EDU+RTP group. Although CES-D scores improved predominantly for those in the FE+RTP group, these improvements were not statistically significant. Overall, results were maintained at the 4-week follow-up.Conclusion
Aerobic exercise, regardless of mode, preceding motor task practice may improve HRQOL in patients with stroke. The potential of aerobic exercise to improve cardiorespiratory endurance, motor outcomes, and HRQOL poststroke justifies its use to augment traditional task practice. 相似文献10.

Objective(s)
Determine the associations between having participation-focused strategies and receiving rehabilitation services in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with caregiver stress over 6 months post-PICU discharge.Design
Substudy of a data from Wee-Cover, a prospective cohort study.Setting
Two PICU sites.Participants
Caregivers (N=168) of children 1-17 years old admitted into a PICU for ≥48 hours.Main Outcome Measures
Data were collected from caregivers at enrollment and 3 and 6 months post-PICU discharge. Caregiver stress was assessed using the Pediatric Inventory for Parents. Having strategies to support their child’s participation in home-based activities was assessed using the Participation and Environment Measure (PEM). In PEM, caregivers report on strategies used to support their child’s participation in home-based activities. Data were dichotomized (yes, no) to denote having participation-focused strategies and if their child received PICU rehabilitation services. Additional covariates were history of a preexisting condition, child age, length of PICU stay, and change in functional capacities at PICU discharge.Results
History of a preexisting condition, time, and change in functional capacities significantly predicted caregiver stress frequency and difficulty. The interaction of having strategies-by-rehabilitation-by-time significantly predicted caregiver stress frequency and difficulty.Conclusion(s)
Results highlight the role of early rehabilitation and the importance of working with caregivers to develop participation-focused strategies to support their child’s functioning post-PICU. Families of children with a preexisting condition or those who experience a decrease in function during a PICU stay are susceptible to higher levels of stress and may be a priority population to target for rehabilitation services. 相似文献11.
Objective
To evaluate the effect of implementing hourly rounds on a mother–baby unit (MBU) on the perception of care by women admitted to the hospital for birth or with pregnancy complications.Design
Retrospective, quantitative, before–after study.Setting/Local Problem
The MBU of a large metropolitan hospital in the northeastern United States was the setting. With considerable resources allocated to hourly rounding implementation, there was a need to examine whether hourly rounds influenced the perception of communication with nurses by women admitted to the hospital for prenatal care and women's likelihood to recommend the hospital.Participants
Women ages 18 years and older discharged from the MBU.Intervention/Measurements
Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Services (HCAHPS) survey responses collected from women at discharge, before and after hourly rounds implementation on the MBU, were compared. Aggregate data were retrieved from Press Ganey reports.Results
No significant change in women’s perceptions of nursing care and communication was found when comparing pre- and postintervention samples.Conclusion
Although we found no statistically significant change in perception of care, we have identified opportunities for future research. More research is need to explore what approaches for hourly rounds implementation and sustainability are most effective. Additionally, there is a need to study whether vital aspects of care identified by pregnant women admitted to the hospital are similar or different compared with other populations. 相似文献12.

Objectives
To investigate the reliability and validity of a modified pinch apparatus devised with 3 surface textures and 2 different weights for clinical application.Design
Case-controlled study.Setting
A university hospital.Participants
The participants (N=32) included carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients (n=16) with 20 sensory neuropathy hands, and an equal number of age-sex matched volunteers without CTS, as well as young volunteers without CTS (n=16 with 20 hands) used to analyze both the testing validity and reliability of the modified device.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
The Semmes-Weinstein monofilament (SWM) and two-point discrimination (2PD) tests were conducted, and the force ratio between the FPpeak (peak pinch force during lifting phase) and FLmax (maximum load force at maximum upward acceleration onset) detected from a pinch-holding-up activity (PHUA) under various testing conditions was obtained.Results
The range of the intraclass correlation coefficient of this pinch device was 0.369-0.952. The CTS patients exhibited poorer force modulation ability according to the inertial change in a dynamic lifting task when compared to the controls under all testing conditions (P<.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic force ratio curve was 0.841, revealing high accuracy of the test for diagnosing CTS neuropathic hands under the testing condition in which the 125-g coarse texture device was used. In addition, the weight factor was shown to have significant effects on the sensitivity and accuracy of the PHUA assessment.Conclusions
This study showed that the PHUA test via the modified pinch apparatus is a sensitive tool that can be used in clinical practice for detecting neuropathic CTS hands. In addition, changing the weight of the pinch device has a significant effect on the sensitivity and accuracy of the PHUA assessment. 相似文献13.

Objective
The authors aimed to develop and validate the Computerized Adaptive Testing System for Assessing 5 Functions in Patients with Stroke (CAT-5F) based on the Barthel Index (BI), Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke patients (PASS), and Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) to improve the efficiency of assessment. The purposes of the CAT-5F assessment are to describe patients’ levels of impairments or disabilities in the 5 functions and to serve as an outcome measure in patients with stroke.Design
This is a data-mining study based on data from a previous study using simulation analysis to develop and validate the CAT-5F.Setting
One rehabilitation unit in a medical center in Taiwan served as the setting for this study.Participants
Data were retrieved from totals of 540 (initial assessment) and 309 (discharge assessment) participants with stroke assessed in a previous study. The assessment data (N=540) were from the BI, PASS, and STREAM.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
The outcome measures for this study were from BI, PASS, and STREAM.Results
The CAT-5F using the optimal stopping rule (limited reliability increased <0.010) had good Rasch reliability across the 5 functions (0.86-0.96) and needed 12.7 items, on average, for the whole administration. The concurrent validity (Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, r=0.91-0.96) and responsiveness (standardized response mean=0.33-0.91) of the CAT-5F were sufficient in the patients.Conclusion
The CAT-5F has sufficient administrative efficiency, reliability, concurrent validity, and responsiveness to simultaneously assess basic activities of daily living, postural control, upper extremity/lower extremity motor functions, and mobility in patients with stroke. 相似文献14.

Objective
To investigate the efficacy of a sequential combination of aerobic exercise and cognitive training on cognitive function and other health-related outcomes in stroke survivors with cognitive decline.Design
Intervention study and randomized controlled trial.Setting
Hospital-based rehabilitation units.Participants
Survivors of stroke with cognitive decline (N=30) were randomized to sequential combination training (SEQ) (n=15) or an active control (n=15) group.Interventions
The SEQ group received 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, followed by 30 minutes of computerized cognitive training. The control group received 30 minutes of nonaerobic physical exercise, followed by 30 minutes of unstructured mental activities.Main Outcome Measures
The primary outcome measure was cognitive function. Secondary outcome measures included physical function, social participation, and quality of life.Results
Compared with the control group, the SEQ group had significantly improved Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores (P=.03) and Wechsler Memory Scale span scores (P=.012) after training. The endurance and mobility level measured by the 6-minute walk test (P=.25) was also enhanced in the SEQ group relative to the control group. However, the transfer of sequential training to social participation (Community Integration Questionnaire) and quality of life (EuroQoL questionnaire) was limited (P>.05 for both).Conclusions
Aerobic exercise combined with computerized cognitive training has better effects on the cognitive functional status of survivors of stroke than an active control. The cognitive functional status of stroke survivors was better after participation in aerobic exercise combined with computerized training than after active control therapy, demonstrating the clinical significance of this combination therapy. 相似文献15.

Purpose
To test the effects of a new skin-to-skin Supported Diagonal Flexion (SDF) positioning on maternal stress, postpartum depression risk and skin-to-skin daily practice, in comparison with the usual Kangaroo Care in Upright positioning, during the first weeks after very premature birth.Design
Thirty-four mothers and their very preterm infants were assigned to one of the two Kangaroo Care positioning, either the Upright (n?=?17) or the SDF positioning (n?=?17). Maternal risk for depression and stress feelings were assessed through questionnaires before the first kangaroo care, 15 days later and at 40 weeks and 3 months corrected age. Data on daily kangaroo care practice was collected during 15 consecutive days starting from the very first skin-to-skin session.Results
The depression risk score was significantly lower in SDF positioning mothers after 15 days of skin-to-skin practice and at 40 weeks and 3 months corrected age. In the SDF group, mothers chose to practice Kangaroo Care during a significantly longer period of time per session.Conclusion
Our results support the hypothesis of a positive impact of SDF Kangaroo positioning on maternal postpartum risk of depression and skin-to-skin practice. 相似文献16.

Objective
To examine parent and family outcomes of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing Teen Online Problem-Solving with Family (TOPS-F), Teen Online Problem-Solving-Teen Only (TOPS-TO), or access to Internet resources alone (Internet resource comparison [IRC]).Design
Three-arm RCT.Setting
Four children’s hospitals and 1 general medical center in Ohio and Colorado.Participants
Children and adolescents (N=152), 11-18 years old, hospitalized for complicated mild to severe traumatic brain injury in the previous 18 months.Interventions
Intervention groups: TOPS-F, TOPS-TO, and IRC.Main Outcome Measure
Parental depression (CES-D), parental psychological distress (SCL-90-GSI), family functioning (FAD-GF), cohesiveness (PARQ), and conflict (IBQ) were assessed pre- and post-treatment. Treatment effects and the moderating effect of the number of parents in the home (single vs 2-parent families).Results
Number of parents moderated treatment effects with effects ranging from trending to statistically significant for depression, family functioning, cohesion, and conflict. Among single parents, TOPS-TO reported better family functioning than TOPS-F and greater cohesion and less conflict than IRC. Among 2-parent families, TOPS-F reported less depression than IRC and less depression and greater cohesion than TOPS-TO. The effect of family composition was also noted within TOPS-TO and TOPS-F. In TOPS-F, 2-parent families reported less depression than single-parent families. In TOPS-TO single parents reported greater cohesion and better family functioning than 2-parent families.Conclusions
Findings support the TOPS intervention improves family outcomes, with differential effects noted for single vs 2-parent households. The TOPS-TO format appeared more beneficial for single-parent households, while TOPS-F was more beneficial for 2-parent households, highlighting the importance of considering family composition when determining the best treatment modality. 相似文献17.

Objective
Common data elements (CDEs) promote data sharing, standardization, and uniform data collection, which facilitate meta-analyses and comparisons of studies. Currently, there is no set of CDEs for all trauma populations, but their creation would allow researchers to leverage existing databases to maximize research on trauma outcomes. The purpose of this study is to assess the extent of common data collection among 5 trauma databases.Design
The data dictionaries of 5 trauma databases were examined to determine the extent of common data collection. Databases included 2 acute care databases (American Burn Association’s National Burn Data Standard and American College of Surgeons’ National Trauma Data Standard) and 3 longitudinal trauma databases (Burn, Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury Model System National Databases). Data elements and data values were compared across the databases. Quantitative and qualitative variations in the data were identified to highlight meaningful differences between datasets.Setting

Of the 30 data elements examined, 14 (47%) were present in all 5 databases. Another 9 (30%) elements were present in 4 of the 5 databases. The number of elements present in each database ranged from 23 (77%) to 26 (86%). There were inconsistencies in the data values across the databases. Twelve of the 14 data elements present in all 5 databases exhibited differences in data values.Conclusions
This study demonstrates inconsistencies in the documentation of data elements in 5 common trauma databases. These discrepancies are a barrier to database harmonization and to maximizing the use of these databases through linking, pooling, and comparing data. A collaborative effort is required to develop a standardized set of elements for trauma research. 相似文献18.

Objective
To evaluate the reproducibility, including reliability and agreement, of the Kids Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Kids-BESTest) and the short form of Kids-BESTest (Kids-Mini-BESTest) for measuring postural control in school-aged children with cerebral palsy.Design
Psychometric study of intrarater, interrater, and test-retest reliability and agreement.Setting
Clinical laboratory and home.Participants
Convenience sample of children (N=18) aged 8 to 17 years with ambulant cerebral palsy (CP) (Gross Motor Function Classification System I-II) with spastic or ataxic motor type.Intervention
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Postural control was assessed using the Kids-BESTest and the Kids-Mini-BESTest. An experienced physiotherapist assessed all children in real time and the testing session was videotaped. The same physiotherapist viewed and scored the video twice, at least 2 weeks apart, to assess intrarater reproducibility. Another experienced physiotherapist scored the same video to determine interrater reproducibility. Thirteen children returned for a repeat assessment with the first physiotherapist within 6 weeks and their test-retest performance was rated in real time and with video.Results
Excellent reliability was observed for both the Kids-BESTest (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] 0.96-0.99) and Kids-Mini-BESTest (ICC 0.79-0.98). The smallest detectable change was good to excellent for all Kids-BESTest agreement analyses (5%-9%), but poor to good for Kids-Mini-BESTest analyses (9%-16%).Conclusion
The Kids-BESTest shows an excellent ability to discriminate postural control abilities of school-aged children with CP and it has a low smallest detectable change, suitable for use as a preintervention and postintervention outcome measure. Although the Kids-Mini-BESTest is 5 to 10 minutes shorter to administer, it has poorer reproducibility and focuses only on falls-related balance, which excludes 2 domains of postural control. 相似文献19.
Introduction
Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) can lead to catastrophic consequences. Published trials mean that Therapeutic Hypothermia has revolutionised available treatment but infants often must meet strict criteria.Objectives
To review relevant research that explores using Therapeutic Hypothermia in infants with HIE, who are usually excluded from Therapeutic Hypothermia.Design
A literature review was undertaken of research that considered Therapeutic Hypothermia use outside of the standard criteria.Data sources
Multiple databases formed part of a purposive search, alongside the open grey network, clinical trials network, Cochrane reviews, NICE guidance and National Institute for Health Research and local guidance.Findings
Five papers were reviewed, discussing Therapeutic Hypothermia after 6?h of age, infants with a syndromic diagnosis, late preterm infants (34–35weeks), post-natal collapse, surgical and cardiac infants and infants with major cranial haemorrhage. Overall the findings of the review are encouraging except for cohorts with cranial haemorrhage or syndromic diagnoses. 相似文献20.
