Abstract
OBJECTIVE Quantify hypotension burden using high-resolution continuous arterial blood pressure (ABP) data and determine its association with outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Academic PICU. PATIENTS Children 18 years old or younger admitted with in-of-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who had invasive ABP monitoring during postcardiac arrest care. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS High-resolution continuous ABP was analyzed up to 24 hours after the return of circulation (ROC). Hypotension burden was the time-normalized integral area between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and fifth percentile MAP for age. The primary outcome was unfavorable neurologic status (pediatric cerebral performance category ≥ 3 with change from baseline) at hospital discharge. Mann-Whitney U tests compared hypotension burden, duration, and magnitude between favorable and unfavorable patients. Multivariable logistic regression determined the association of unfavorable outcomes with hypotension burden, duration, and magnitude at various percentile thresholds from the 5th through 50th percentile for age. Of 140 patients (median age 53 [interquartile range 11-146] mo, 61% male); 63% had unfavorable outcomes. Monitoring duration was 21 (7-24) hours. Using a MAP threshold at the fifth percentile for age, the median hypotension burden was 0.01 (0-0.11) mm Hg-hours per hour, greater for patients with unfavorable compared with favorable outcomes (0 [0-0.02] vs. 0.02 [0-0.27] mm Hg-hr per hour, p < 0.001). Hypotension duration and magnitude were greater for unfavorable compared with favorable patients (0.03 [0-0.77] vs. 0.71 [0-5.01]%, p = 0.003; and 0.16 [0-1.99] vs. 2 [0-4.02] mm Hg, p = 0.001). On logistic regression, a 1-point increase in hypotension burden below the fifth percentile for age (equivalent to 1 mm Hg-hr of burden per hour of recording) was associated with increased odds of unfavorable outcome (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 14.8; 95% CI, 1.1-200; p = 0.040). At MAP thresholds of 10th-50th percentiles for age, MAP burden below the threshold was greater in unfavorable compared with favorable patients in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS High-resolution continuous ABP data can be used to quantify hypotension burden after pediatric cardiac arrest. The burden, duration, and magnitude of hypotension are associated with unfavorable neurologic outcomes.

Abstract
Neurological and cardiac injuries are significant contributors to morbidity and mortality following pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Preservation of mitochondrial function may be critical for reducing these injuries. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) has shown potential to enhance mitochondrial content and reduce oxidative damage. To investigate the efficacy of DMF in mitigating mitochondrial injury in a pediatric porcine model of IHCA, toddler-aged piglets were subjected to asphyxia-induced CA, followed by ventricular fibrillation, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and random assignment to receive either DMF (30 mg/kg) or placebo for four days. Sham animals underwent similar anesthesia protocols without CA. After four days, tissues were analyzed for mitochondrial markers. In the brain, untreated CA animals exhibited a reduced expression of proteins of the oxidative phosphorylation system (CI, CIV, CV) and decreased mitochondrial respiration (p < 0.001). Despite alterations in mitochondrial content and morphology in the myocardium, as assessed per transmission electron microscopy, mitochondrial function was unchanged. DMF treatment counteracted 25% of the proteomic changes induced by CA in the brain, and preserved mitochondrial structure in the myocardium. DMF demonstrates a potential therapeutic benefit in preserving mitochondrial integrity following asphyxia-induced IHCA. Further investigation is warranted to fully elucidate DMF's protective mechanisms and optimize its therapeutic application in post-arrest care.

Survival and neurobehavioral outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in pediatric patients with pre-existing morbidity: An analysis of the THAPCA out-of-hospital arrest data. Resuscitation 2024; 197:110144. [PMID: 38367829 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2024.110144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
AIM Pre-arrest morbidity in adults who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with increased mortality and poorer neurologic outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine if a similar association is seen in pediatric patients. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of data from the Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Out-of-Hospital trial. Study sites included 36 pediatric intensive care units across the United States and Canada. The study enrolled children between the ages of 48 hours and 18 years following an OHCA between September 1, 2009 and December 31, 2012. For our analysis, patients with (N = 151) and without (N = 142) pre-arrest comorbidities were evaluated to assess morbidity, survival, and neurologic function following OHCA. RESULTS No significant difference in 28-day survival was seen between groups. Dependence on technology and neurobehavioral outcomes were assessed among survivors using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Second Edition (VABS-II), Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) and Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC). Children with pre-existing comorbidities maintained worse neurobehavioral function at twelve months, evidenced by poorer scores on POPC (p = 0.016), PCPC (p = 0.044), and VABS-II (p = 0.020). They were more likely to have a tracheostomy at hospital discharge (p = 0.034), require supplemental oxygen at three months (p = 0.039) and twelve months (p = 0.034), and be mechanically ventilated at twelve months (p = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS There was no difference in survival to 28 days following OHCA in children with pre-existing comorbidity compared to previously healthy children. The group with pre-existing comorbidity was more reliant on technology following arrest and exhibited worse neurobehavioral outcomes.

Abstract
Hypoxia-ischaemia (HI) can result in structural brain abnormalities, which in turn can lead to behavioural deficits in various cognitive and motor domains, in both adult and paediatric populations. Cardiorespiratory arrest (CA) is a major cause of hypoxia-ischaemia in adults, but it is relatively rare in infants and children. While the effects of adult CA on brain and cognition have been widely studied, to date, there are no studies examining the neurodevelopmental outcome of children who suffered CA early in life. Here, we studied the long-term outcome of 28 children who suffered early CA (i.e., before age 16). They were compared to a group of control participants (n = 28) matched for age, sex and socio-economic status. The patient group had impairments in the domains of memory, language and academic attainment (measured using standardised tests). Individual scores within the impaired range were most commonly found within the memory domain (79%), followed by academic attainment (50%), and language (36%). The patient group also had reduced whole brain grey matter volume, and reduced volume and fractional anisotropy of the white matter. In addition, lower performance on memory tests was correlated with bilaterally reduced volume of the hippocampi, thalami, and striatum, while lower attainment scores were correlated with bilateral reduction of fractional anisotropy in the superior cerebellar peduncle, the main output tract of the cerebellum. We conclude that patients who suffered early CA are at risk of developing specific cognitive deficits associated with structural brain abnormalities. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Our data shed light on the long-term outcome and associated neural mechanisms after paediatric hypoxia-ischaemia as a result of cardiorespiratory arrest. Patients had impaired scores on memory, language and academic attainment. Memory impairments were associated with smaller hippocampi, thalami, and striatum. Lower academic attainment correlated with reduced fractional anisotropy of the superior cerebellar peduncle.

Abstract
Long-term outcome studies after pediatric cardiac arrest (CA) are few. They require a CA registry and dedicated outcome teams. Learning about the long-term outcomes is very important for developing prognostication guidelines, improving post-cardiac care, counseling caregivers about the future of their child, and creating opportunities for therapeutic intervention studies to improve outcomes. Few PICUs worldwide provide a multidisciplinary follow-up program as routine practice at an outpatient clinic with standardized measurements, using validated instruments including neuropsychological assessments by psychologists. The primary goal of such a follow-up program should be to provide excellent care to children and their caregivers, thereby resulting in a high attendance. Pediatric psychologists, neurologists and pediatricians/pediatric intensivists should ideally be involved to screen for delayed development and psychosocial problems and offer appropriate care at the same time. Preferably, outcomes should consist of evaluation of morbidity (physical and neuropsychological), functional health and Health Related Quality Of Life (QoL) of the patient and their caregivers.

Abstract
Pediatric cardiac arrest in the emergency department is rare. We emphasize the importance of preparedness for pediatric cardiac arrest and offer strategies for the optimal recognition and care of patients in cardiac arrest and peri-arrest. This article focuses on both prevention of arrest and the key elements of pediatric resuscitation that have been shown to improve outcomes for children in cardiac arrest. Finally, we review changes to the American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care that were published in 2020.

Abstract
AIM To analyze whether brain connectivity sequences including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) identify vulnerable brain regions and networks associated with neurologic outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest. METHODS Children aged 2 d-17 y with cardiac arrest were enrolled in one of 2 parent studies at a single center. Clinically indicated brain MRI with DTI and rsfMRI and performed within 2 weeks after arrest were analyzed. Tract-wise fractional anisotropy (FA) and axial, radial, and mean diffusivity assessed DTI, and functional connectivity strength (FCS) assessed rsfMRI between outcome groups. Unfavorable neurologic outcome was defined as Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score 4-6 or change > 1 between 6 months after arrest vs baseline. RESULTS Among children with DTI (n = 28), 57% had unfavorable outcome. Mean, radial, axial diffusivity and FA of varying direction of magnitude in the limbic tracts, including the right cingulum parolfactory, left cingulum parahippocampal, corpus callosum forceps major, and corpus callosum forceps minor tracts, were associated with unfavorable neurologic outcome (p < 0.05). Among children with rsfMRI (n = 12), 67% had unfavorable outcome. Decreased FCS in the ventromedial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, insula, precentral gyrus, anterior cingulate, and inferior parietal lobule were correlated regionally with unfavorable neurologic outcome (p < 0.05 Family-Wise Error corrected). CONCLUSION Decreased multimodal connectivity measures of paralimbic tracts were associated with unfavorable neurologic outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest. Longitudinal analysis correlating brain connectivity sequences with long term neuropsychological outcomes to identify the impact of pediatric cardiac arrest in vulnerable brain networks over time appears warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Diffusion MRI can quantify the extent of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury after cardiac arrest. Our objective was to determine the association between the adult-derived threshold of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) <650 × 10-6 mm2/s in >10% of brain tissue and an unfavorable outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest. Since ADC decreases exponentially as a function of increasing age, we determined the association between (1) having >10% of brain tissue below a novel age-dependent ADC threshold, and (2) age-normalized whole-brain mean ADC and unfavorable outcome. METHODS This was a retrospective study of patients aged ≤18 years who had cardiac arrest and a clinically obtained brain MRI within 7 days. The primary outcome was unfavorable neurologic status at hospital discharge based on the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score. ADC images were extracted from 3-direction diffusion imaging. We determined whether each patient had >10% of voxels with an ADC below prespecified thresholds. We computed the whole-brain mean ADC for each patient. RESULTS One hundred thirty-four patients were analyzed. Patients with ADC <650 × 10-6 mm2/s in >10% of voxels had 15 times higher odds (95% CI 5-65) of an unfavorable outcome compared with patients with ADC <650 × 10-6 mm2/s (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC] 0.72 [95% CI 0.63-0.80]). These ADC criteria had a sensitivity and specificity of 0.49 and 0.94, respectively, and positive and negative predictive values of 0.93 and 0.52, respectively, for an unfavorable outcome. The age-dependent ADC threshold that yielded optimal sensitivity and specificity for unfavorable outcomes was <300 × 10-6 mm2/s below each patient's predicted whole-brain mean ADC. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for this ADC threshold were 0.53, 0.96, 0.96, and 0.54, respectively (odds ratio [OR] 26.4 [95% CI 7.5-168.3]; AUROC 0.74 [95% CI 0.66-0.83]). Lower age-normalized whole-brain mean ADC was also associated with an unfavorable outcome (OR 0.42 [0.24-0.64], AUROC 0.76 [95% CI 0.66-0.82]). DISCUSSION Quantitative diffusion thresholds on MRI within 7 days after cardiac arrest were associated with an unfavorable outcome in children. The age-independent ADC threshold was highly specific for predicting an unfavorable outcome. However, the specificity and sensitivity increased when using age-dependent ADC thresholds. Age-dependent ADC thresholds may improve prognostic accuracy and require further investigation in larger cohorts. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class III evidence that quantitative diffusion-weighted imaging within 7 days postarrest can predict an unfavorable clinical outcome in children.

Abstract
Youth with a history of traumatic or non-traumatic acquired brain injury are at increased risk for long-lasting cognitive, emotional, behavioral, social, and physical sequelae post-injury. Such sequelae have great potential to negatively impact this population’s academic functioning. Consistently, poorer academic achievement and elevated need for educational supports have been well-documented among youth with a history of acquired brain injury. The current paper reviews the literature on neuropsychological, psychiatric, and academic outcomes of pediatric acquired brain injury. A discussion of special education law as it applies to this patient population, ongoing limitations within the field, and a proposal of solutions are also included.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study systematically reviewed recent findings on neurocognitive functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children after pediatric intensive care unit admission (PICU). DATA SOURCES Electronic databases searched included Embase, Medline Ovid, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Google Scholar. The search was limited to studies published in the last five years (2015-2019). STUDY SELECTION Original studies assessing neurocognitive functioning or HRQoL in children who were previously admitted to the PICU were included in this systematic review. DATA EXTRACTION Of the 3649 identified studies, 299 met the inclusion criteria based on title abstract screening. After full-text screening, 75 articles were included in the qualitative data reviewing: 38 on neurocognitive functioning, 33 on HRQoL, and 4 on both outcomes. DATA SYNTHESIS Studies examining neurocognitive functioning found overall worse scores for general intellectual functioning, attention, processing speed, memory, and executive functioning. Studies investigating HRQoL found overall worse scores for both physical and psychosocial HRQoL. On the short term (≤ 12 months), most studies reported HRQoL impairments, whereas in some long-term studies HRQoL normalized. The effectiveness of the few intervention studies during and after PICU admission on long-term outcomes varied. CONCLUSIONS PICU survivors have lower scores for neurocognitive functioning and HRQoL than children from the general population. A structured follow-up program after a PICU admission is needed to identify those children and parents who are at risk. However, more research is needed into testing interventions in randomized controlled trials aiming on preventing or improving impairments in critically ill children during and after PICU admission.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) exposes children to stressful experiences with potential long-term psychological repercussions. However, current understanding of post-PICU psychological outcomes is incomplete. OBJECTIVE To systematically review and evaluate reported long-term psychological outcomes among children previously admitted to the PICU. DATA SOURCES A systematic search of the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, MEDLINE (PubMed), and PsycINFO was conducted from database inception to June 2021. Search terms included phrases related to intensive care (eg, intensive care units and critical care) and terms for psychological disorders (eg, posttraumatic stress disorder, depressive disorder, conduct disorder, and neurodevelopmental disorder) limited to the pediatric population. STUDY SELECTION This systematic review and meta-analysis included randomized clinical trials and observational studies reporting psychological disorders among children younger than 18 years who were admitted to the PICU with follow-up for at least 3 months. Psychological disorders were defined using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition). Children were excluded if they were admitted to the PICU for primary brain conditions (eg, traumatic brain injury, meningoencephalitis, and brain tumors) or discharged to the home for palliative care. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Titles and abstracts were independently screened by 2 reviewers, with data extraction conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline. Data were pooled using a random-effects model during meta-analysis. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Age-corrected IQ scores and long-term psychological outcomes measured by scales such as the Child Behavior Checklist (higher scores indicate more behavioral problems) among children admitted to the PICU. RESULTS Of 9193 records identified, 31 independent studies (5 randomized clinical trials and 26 observational studies) involving 7786 children (mean age, 7.3 years [95% CI, 6.2-8.4 years]; 4267 boys [54.8%]; race and ethnicity were not reported by all studies) admitted to the PICU were included. Overall, 1 of 19 children (5.3%) to 14 of 16 children (88.0%) previously admitted to the PICU were reported to have at least 1 psychological disorder. Studies that examined posttraumatic stress disorder reported that 6 of 60 children (10.0%) to 31 of 102 children (30.4%) met the diagnostic criteria for the disorder at 3 to 6 months of follow-up. Compared with healthy children, those admitted to the PICU had lower IQ scores at 1 to 2 years of follow-up (mean, 89.40 points [95% CI, 88.33-90.47 points] vs 100.70 points [95% CI, 99.43-101.97 points]; P < .001) and 3 to 5 years of follow-up (mean, 88.54 points [95% CI, 83.92-93.16 points] vs 103.18 [95% CI, 100.36-105.99 points]; P < .001) and greater total emotional and behavioral problems at 4 years of follow-up (mean, 51.69 points [95% CI, 50.37-53.01 points] vs 46.66 points [95% CI, 45.20-48.13 points]; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This systematic review and meta-analysis found a high burden of psychological sequelae among children previously admitted to the PICU, suggesting that risk stratification and early interventions are needed for high-risk groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Therapeutic hypothermia minimizes neuronal injury in animal models of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy with greater effect when used sooner after the insult. Clinical trials generally showed limited benefit but are difficult to perform in a timely manner. In this clinical study, we evaluated the association between the use of hypothermia (or not) and health-related quality of life among survivors of pediatric cardiac arrest as well as overall mortality. DESIGN Single-center, retrospectively identified cohort with prospective assessment of health-related quality of life. SETTING PICU of a pediatric hospital. PATIENTS Children with either out-of-hospital or in-hospital cardiac arrest from January 2012 to December 2017. INTERVENTIONS Patients were assigned into two groups: those who received therapeutic hypothermia at less than or equal to 35°C and those who did not receive therapeutic hypothermia but who had normothermia targeted (36-36.5°C). The primary outcome was health-related quality of life assessment and the secondary outcome was PICU mortality. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We studied 239 children, 112 (47%) in the therapeutic hypothermia group. The median (interquartile range) of lowest temperature reached in the 48 hours post cardiac arrest in the therapeutic hypothermia group was 33°C (32.6-33.6°C) compared with 35.4°C (34.7-36.2°C) in the no therapeutic hypothermia group (p < 0.001). At follow-up, 152 (64%) were alive and health-related quality of life assessments were completed in 128. Use of therapeutic hypothermia was associated with higher lactate and lower pH at baseline. After regression adjustment, therapeutic hypothermia (as opposed to no therapeutic hypothermia) was associated with higher physical (mean difference, 15.8; 95% CI, 3.5-27.9) and psychosocial scores (13.6 [5.8-21.5]). These observations remained even when patients with a temperature greater than 37.5°C were excluded. We failed to find an association between therapeutic hypothermia and lower mortality. CONCLUSIONS Out-of-hospital or in-hospital cardiac arrest treated with therapeutic hypothermia was associated with higher health-related quality of life scores despite having association with higher lactate and lower pH after resuscitation. We failed to identify an association between use of therapeutic hypothermia and lower mortality.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest is a rare event in children and adolescents. Those who survive may experience a range of outcomes, from good functional recovery to severe and permanent disability. Many children experience long-term cognitive impairment, including deficits in attention, language, memory, and executive functioning. Deficits in adaptive behavior, such as motor functioning, communication, and daily living skills, have also been reported. These children have a wide range of neurological outcomes, with some experiencing specific deficits such as aphasia, apraxia, and sensorimotor deficits. Some children may experience emotional and psychological difficulties, although many do not, and more research is needed in this area. The burden of pediatric cardiac arrest on the child's family and caregivers can be substantial. This narrative review summarizes current research regarding the cognitive and psychological outcomes following pediatric cardiac arrest, identifies areas for future research, and discusses the needs of these children for rehabilitation services and academic accommodations.

Shifting the Paradigm: A Quality Improvement Approach to Proactive Cardiac Arrest Reduction in the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Pediatr Qual Saf 2022; 7:e525.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Introduction: Children with cardiac conditions are at higher risk of in-hospital pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest (CA), resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Despite the elevated risk, proactive cardiac arrest prevention programs in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) remain underdeveloped. Our team developed a multidisciplinary program centered on developing a quality improvement (QI) bundle for patients at high risk of CA. Methods: This project occurred in a 26-bed pediatric CICU of a tertiary care children’s hospital. Statistical process control methodology tracked changes in CA rates over time. The global aim was to reduce CICU mortality; the smart aim was to reduce the CA rate by 50% over 12 months. Interprofessional development and implementation of a QI bundle included visual cues to identify high-risk patients, risk mitigation strategies, a new rounding paradigm, and defined escalation algorithms. Additionally, weekly event and long-term data reviews, arrest debriefs, and weekly unit-wide dissemination of key findings supported a culture change. Results: After bundle implementation, CA rates decreased by 68% compared to baseline and 45% from the historical baseline. Major complications decreased from 17.1% to 12.6% (P < 0.001) and mortality decreased from 5.7% to 5.0% (P = 0.048). These results were sustained for 30 months. Conclusions: Cardiac arrest is a modifiable, rather than inevitable, metric in the CICU. Reduction is achievable through the interprofessional implementation of bundled interventions targeting proactive CA prevention. Once incorporated into widespread efforts to engage multidisciplinary CICU stakeholders, these patient-focused interventions resulted in sustained improvement.

Deviations from NIRS-derived optimal blood pressure are associated with worse outcomes after pediatric cardiac arrest. Resuscitation 2021; 168:110-118. [PMID: 34600027 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.09.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
AIM Evaluate cerebrovascular autoregulation (CAR) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) after pediatric cardiac arrest and determine if deviations from CAR-derived optimal mean arterial pressure (MAPopt) are associated with outcomes. METHODS CAR was quantified by a moving, linear correlation between time-synchronized mean arterial pressure (MAP) and regional cerebral oxygenation, called cerebral oximetry index (COx). MAPopt was calculated using a multi-window weighted algorithm. We calculated burden (magnitude and duration) of MAP less than 5 mmHg below MAPopt (MAPopt - 5), as the area between MAP and MAPopt - 5 curves using numerical integration and normalized as percentage of monitoring duration. Unfavorable outcome was defined as death or pediatric cerebral performance category (PCPC) at hospital discharge ≥3 with ≥1 change from baseline. Univariate logistic regression tested association between burden of MAP less than MAPopt - 5 and outcome. RESULTS Thirty-four children (median age 2.9 [IQR 1.5,13.4] years) were evaluated. Median COx in the first 24 h post-cardiac arrest was 0.06 [0,0.20]; patients spent 27% [19,43] of monitored time with COx ≥ 0.3. Patients with an unfavorable outcome (n = 24) had a greater difference between MAP and MAPopt - 5 (13 [11,19] vs. 9 [8,10] mmHg, p = 0.01) and spent more time with MAP below MAPopt - 5 (38% [26,61] vs. 24% [14,28], p = 0.03). Patients with unfavorable outcome had a higher burden of MAP less than MAPopt - 5 than patients with favorable outcome in the first 24 h post-arrest (187 [107,316] vs. 62 [43,102] mmHg × Min/Hr; OR 4.93 [95% CI 1.16-51.78]). CONCLUSIONS Greater burden of MAP below NIRS-derived MAPopt - 5 during the first 24 h after cardiac arrest was associated with unfavorable outcomes.

Longitudinal two years evaluation of neuropsychological outcome in children after out of hospital cardiac arrest. Resuscitation 2021; 167:29-37. [PMID: 34389455 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.07.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/24/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
AIM To investigate longitudinal functional and neuropsychological outcomes 3-6 and 24 months after paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Further, to explore the association between paediatric cerebral performance category (PCPC) and intelligence. METHODS Prospective longitudinal single center study including children (0-17 years) with OHCA, admitted to the PICU of a tertiary care hospital between 2012 and 2017. Survivors were assessed during an outpatient multidisciplinary follow-up program 3-6 and 24 months post-OHCA. Functional and neuropsychological outcomes were assessed through interviews, neurological exam, and validated neuropsychological testing. RESULTS The total eligible cohort consisted of 49 paediatric OHCA survivors. The most common cause of OHCA was arrhythmia (33%). Median age at time of OHCA was 48 months, 67% were males. At 3-6 and 24 months post-OHCA, respectively 74 and 73% had a good PCPC score, defined as 1-2. Compared with normative data, OHCA children obtained worse sustained attention and processing speed scores 3-6 (n = 26) and 24 (n = 27) months post-OHCA. At 24 months, they also obtained worse intelligence, selective attention and cognitive flexibility scores. In children tested at both time-points (n = 19), no significant changes in neuropsychological outcomes were found over time. Intelligence scores did not correlate with PCPC. CONCLUSION Although paediatric OHCA survivors had a good PCPC score 3-6 and 24 months post-OHCA, they obtained worse scores on important neuropsychological domains such as intelligence and executive functioning (attention and cognitive flexibility). Follow-up should continue over a longer life span in order to fully understand the long-term impact of OHCA in childhood.

Multimodal monitoring including early EEG improves stratification of brain injury severity after pediatric cardiac arrest. Resuscitation 2021; 167:282-288. [PMID: 34237356 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2021] [Revised: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Assessment of brain injury severity early after cardiac arrest (CA) may guide therapeutic interventions and help clinicians counsel families regarding neurologic prognosis. We aimed to determine whether adding EEG features to predictive models including clinical variables and examination signs increased the accuracy of short-term neurobehavioral outcome prediction. METHODS This was a prospective, observational, single-center study of consecutive infants and children resuscitated from CA. Standardized EEG scoring was performed by an electroencephalographer for the initial EEG timepoint after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and each 12-h segment from the time of ROSC up to 48 h. EEG Background Category was scored as: (1) normal; (2) slow-disorganized; (3) discontinuous or burst-suppression; or (4) attenuated-featureless. The primary outcome was neurobehavioral outcome at discharge from the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. To develop the final predictive model, we compared areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC) from models with varying combinations of Demographic/Arrest Variables, Examination Signs, and EEG Features. RESULTS We evaluated 89 infants and children. Initial EEG Background Category was normal in 9 subjects (10%), slow-disorganized in 44 (49%), discontinuous or burst suppression in 22 (25%), and attenuated-featureless in 14 (16%). The final model included Demographic/Arrest Variables (witnessed status, doses of epinephrine, initial lactate after ROSC) and EEG Background Category which achieved AUROC of 0.9 for unfavorable neurobehavioral outcome and 0.83 for mortality. CONCLUSIONS The addition of standardized EEG Background Categories to readily available CA variables significantly improved early stratification of brain injury severity after pediatric CA.

Association between shockable rhythms and long-term outcome after pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Rotterdam, the Netherlands: An 18-year observational study. Resuscitation 2021; 166:110-120. [PMID: 34082030 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.05.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Shockable rhythm following pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (pOHCA) is consistently associated with hospital and short-term survival. Little is known about the relationship between shockable rhythm and long-term outcomes (>1 year) after pOHCA. The aim was to investigate the association between first documented rhythm and long-term outcomes in a pOHCA cohort over 18 years. METHODS All children aged 1 day-18 years who experienced non-traumatic pOHCA between 2002-2019 and were subsequently admitted to the emergency department (ED) or pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Erasmus MC-Sophia Children's Hospital were included. Data was abstracted retrospectively from patient files, (ground) ambulance and Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) records, and follow-up clinics. Long-term outcome was determined using a Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) score at the longest available follow-up interval through august 2020. The primary outcome measure was survival with favorable neurologic outcome, defined as PCPC 1-2 or no difference between pre- and post-arrest PCPC. The association between first documented rhythm and the primary outcome was calculated in a multivariable regression model. RESULTS 369 children were admitted, nine children were lost to follow-up. Median age at arrest was age 3.4 (IQR 0.8-9.9) years, 63% were male and 14% had a shockable rhythm (66% non-shockable, 20% unknown or return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) before emergency medical service (EMS) arrival). In adolescents (aged 12-18 years), 39% had shockable rhythm. 142 (39%) of children survived to hospital discharge. On median follow-up interval of 25 months (IQR 5.1-49.6), 115/142 (81%) of hospital survivors had favorable neurologic outcome. In multivariable analysis, shockable rhythm was associated with survival with favorable long-term neurologic outcome (OR 8.9 [95%CI 3.1-25.9]). CONCLUSION In children with pOHCA admitted to ED or PICU shockable rhythm had significantly higher odds of survival with long-term favorable neurologic outcome compared to non-shockable rhythm. Survival to hospital discharge after pOHCA was 39% over the 18-year study period. Of survivors to discharge, 81% had favorable long-term (median 25 months, IQR 5.1-49.6) neurologic outcome. Efforts for improving outcome of pOHCA should focus on early recognition and treatment of shockable pOHCA at scene.

Abstract
Studies of pediatric cardiac arrest use inconsistent outcomes, including return of spontaneous circulation and short-term survival, and basic assessments of functional and neurological status. In 2018, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation sponsored the COSCA initiative (Core Outcome Set After Cardiac Arrest) to improve consistency in reported outcomes of clinical trials of adult cardiac arrest survivors and supported this P-COSCA initiative (Pediatric COSCA). The P-COSCA Steering Committee generated a list of potential survival, life impact, and economic impact outcomes and assessment time points that were prioritized by a multidisciplinary group of healthcare providers, researchers, and parents/caregivers of children who survived cardiac arrest. Then expert panel discussions achieved consensus on the core outcomes, the methods to measure those core outcomes, and the timing of the measurements. The P-COSCA includes assessment of survival, brain function, cognitive function, physical function, and basic daily life skills. Survival and brain function are assessed at discharge or 30 days (or both if possible) and between 6 and 12 months after arrest. Cognitive function, physical function, and basic daily life skills are assessed between 6 and 12 months after cardiac arrest. Because many children have prearrest comorbidities, the P-COSCA also includes documentation of baseline (ie, prearrest) brain function and calculation of changes after cardiac arrest. Supplementary outcomes of survival, brain function, cognitive function, physical function, and basic daily life skills are assessed at 3 months and beyond 1 year after cardiac arrest if resources are available.

Abstract
Background Most children now survive cardiac surgery, and the focus of quality improvement initiatives has shifted toward more complex outcome measures. The aim of this investigation was to study the impact of early postoperative morbidities on parent-reported patient quality of life and parental anxiety or depression over 6 months. Methods This prospective case-matched cohort study was conducted in 5 UK children’s cardiac centers. Measures of impact for patient categories of “single morbidity,” “multiple morbidities,” and “extracorporeal life support (ECLS)” were compared with “no morbidity.” The measures used were the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and the 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4) at 6 weeks and 6 months postoperatively. The study modeled the outcomes using mixed effects regression, adjusting for case mix and clustering within centers. Results The study included 666 patients who underwent operation at a median age of 81 days (interquartile range, 10 to 325 days). At 6-week follow-up, significant adjusted differences to the reference group with no morbidity were found for total PedsQL scores, which were lower in patients with ECLS (P = .01), multiple morbidities (P < .001), and a single morbidity (P = .04), as well as the proportion of parents with anxiety and depression, which were higher in the group with multiple morbidities (P = .04 and P = .01, respectively). At 6 months, measures had improved in all morbidity groups. The only significant adjusted difference in the reference group was for physical PedsQL scores in ECLS (P = .04) and multiple morbidities (P < .01). Conclusions Patient and parent well-being are strongly influenced by postoperative morbidities early after surgery, with improvement by 6 months. Family psychological support and holistic rehabilitation are vital for children who experience postoperative morbidities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between the extent of diffusion restriction and T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) injury on brain MRI and outcomes after pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS Diffusion restriction and T2/FLAIR injury were described according to the pediatric MRI modification of the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (modsASPECTS) for children from 2005 to 2013 who had an MRI within 14 days of OHCA. The primary outcome was unfavorable neurologic outcome defined as ≥1 change in Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) from baseline resulting in a hospital discharge PCPC score 3, 4, 5, or 6. Patients with unfavorable outcomes were further categorized into alive with PCPC 3-5, dead due to withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies for poor neurologic prognosis (WLST-neuro), or dead by neurologic criteria. RESULTS We evaluated MRI scans from 77 patients (median age 2.21 [interquartile range 0.44, 13.07] years) performed 4 (2, 6) days postarrest. Patients with unfavorable outcomes had more extensive diffusion restriction (median 7 [4, 10.3] vs 0 [0, 0] regions, p < 0.001) and T2/FLAIR injury (5.5 [2.3, 8.2] vs 0 [0, 0.75] regions, p < 0.001) compared to patients with favorable outcomes. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the extent of diffusion restriction and unfavorable outcome was 0.96 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.91, 0.99) and 0.92 (95% CI 0.85, 0.97) for T2/FLAIR injury. There was no difference in extent of diffusion restriction between patients who were alive with an unfavorable outcome and patients who died from WLST-neuro (p = 0.11). CONCLUSIONS More extensive diffusion restriction and T2/FLAIR injury on the modsASPECTS score within the first 14 days after pediatric cardiac arrest was associated with unfavorable outcomes at hospital discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest (CA) is the most common cause of acute neurologic insult in children. Many survivors have significant neurocognitive deficits at 1 year of recovery. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are multifunctional endogenous lipid signaling molecules that are involved in brain pathobiology and may be therapeutically relevant. However, EETs are rapidly metabolized to less active dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), limiting their bioavailability. We hypothesized that sEH inhibition would improve outcomes after CA in an infant swine model. Male piglets (3-4 kg, 2 weeks old) underwent hypoxic-asphyxic CA. After resuscitation, they were randomized to intravenous treatment with an sEH inhibitor (TPPU, 1 mg/kg; n = 8) or vehicle (10% poly(ethylene glycol); n = 9) administered at 30 min and 24 h after return of spontaneous circulation. Two sham-operated groups received either TPPU (n = 9) or vehicle (n = 8). Neurons were counted in hematoxylin- and eosin-stained sections from putamen and motor cortex in 4-day survivors. RESULTS Piglets in the CA + vehicle groups had fewer neurons than sham animals in both putamen and motor cortex. However, the number of neurons after CA did not differ between vehicle- and TPPU-treated groups in either anatomic area. Further, 20% of putamen neurons in the Sham + TPPU group had abnormal morphology, with cell body attrition and nuclear condensation. TPPU treatment also did not reduce neurologic deficits. CONCLUSION Treatment with an sEH inhibitor at 30 min and 24 h after resuscitation from asphyxic CA does not protect neurons or improve acute neurologic outcomes in piglets.

Abstract
Studies of pediatric cardiac arrest use inconsistent outcomes, including return of spontaneous circulation and short-term survival, and basic assessments of functional and neurological status. In 2018, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation sponsored the COSCA initiative (Core Outcome Set After Cardiac Arrest) to improve consistency in reported outcomes of clinical trials of adult cardiac arrest survivors and supported this P-COSCA initiative (Pediatric COSCA). The P-COSCA Steering Committee generated a list of potential survival, life impact, and economic impact outcomes and assessment time points that were prioritized by a multidisciplinary group of healthcare providers, researchers, and parents/caregivers of children who survived cardiac arrest. Then expert panel discussions achieved consensus on the core outcomes, the methods to measure those core outcomes, and the timing of the measurements. The P-COSCA includes assessment of survival, brain function, cognitive function, physical function, and basic daily life skills. Survival and brain function are assessed at discharge or 30 days (or both if possible) and between 6 and 12 months after arrest. Cognitive function, physical function, and basic daily life skills are assessed between 6 and 12 months after cardiac arrest. Because many children have prearrest comorbidities, the P-COSCA also includes documentation of baseline (ie, prearrest) brain function and calculation of changes after cardiac arrest. Supplementary outcomes of survival, brain function, cognitive function, physical function, and basic daily life skills are assessed at 3 months and beyond 1 year after cardiac arrest if resources are available.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Currently, we are unable to accurately predict mortality or neurological morbidity following resuscitation after paediatric out of hospital (OHCA) or in-hospital (IHCA) cardiac arrest. A clinical prediction model may improve communication with parents and families and risk stratification of patients for appropriate postcardiac arrest care. This study aims to the derive and validate a clinical prediction model to predict, within 1 hour of admission to the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU), neurodevelopmental outcome at 3 months after paediatric cardiac arrest. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A prospective study of children (age: >24 hours and <16 years), admitted to 1 of the 24 participating PICUs in the UK and Ireland, following an OHCA or IHCA. Patients are included if requiring more than 1 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and mechanical ventilation at PICU admission Children who had cardiac arrests in PICU or neonatal intensive care unit will be excluded. Candidate variables will be identified from data submitted to the Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network registry. Primary outcome is neurodevelopmental status, assessed at 3 months by telephone interview using the Vineland Adaptive Behavioural Score II questionnaire. A clinical prediction model will be derived using logistic regression with model performance and accuracy assessment. External validation will be performed using the Therapeutic Hypothermia After Paediatric Cardiac Arrest trial dataset. We aim to identify 370 patients, with successful consent and follow-up of 150 patients. Patient inclusion started 1 January 2018 and inclusion will continue over 18 months. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical review of this protocol was completed by 27 September 2017 at the Wales Research Ethics Committee 5, 17/WA/0306. The results of this study will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented in conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03574025.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe telephone interview completion rates among 12-month cardiac arrest survivors enrolled in the Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest In-Hospital and Out-of-Hospital trials, identify key characteristics of the completed follow-up interviews at both 3- and 12-month postcardiac arrest, and describe strategies implemented to promote follow-up. SETTING Centralized telephone follow-up interviews. DESIGN Retrospective report of data collected for Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest trials, and summary of strategies used to maximize follow-up completion. PATIENTS Twelve-month survivors (n = 251) from 39 Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest PICU sites in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom. INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The 3- and 12-month telephone interviews included completion of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition. Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition data were available on 96% of 3-month survivors (242/251) and 95% of 12-month survivors (239/251) with no differences in demographics between those with and without completed Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition. At 12 months, a substantial minority of interviews were completed with caregivers other than parents (10%), after calls attempts were made on 6 or more days (18%), and during evenings/weekends (17%). Strategies included emphasizing the relationship between study teams and participants, ongoing communication between study team members across sites, promoting site engagement during the study's final year, and withholding payment for work associated with the primary outcome until work had been completed. CONCLUSIONS It is feasible to use telephone follow-up interviews to successfully collect detailed neurobehavioral outcome about children following pediatric cardiac arrest. Future studies should consider availability of the telephone interviewer to conduct calls at times convenient for families, using a range of respondents, ongoing engagement with site teams, and site payment related to primary outcome completion.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Randomized controlled trials leading to innovations that improve outcomes in acute life-threatening illnesses in children are scarce. A key issue is how we refocus research on outcomes that matter and are more relevant to those making emergency decisions, and those involved with managing and living with the late-outcome. We have used information from recent trials in critically ill children - in particular those illnesses without any primary neurologic involvement - to develop an approach to brain-related outcomes that will maximize child and family benefit from research. RECENT FINDINGS Fifteen recent pediatric critical care trials illustrate four types of brain-related outcomes assessment: death or organ-system-failures - as illustrated by studies in systemic illness; neurological and neuropsychological outcomes - as illustrated by the glycemic control studies; cognitive outcomes - as illustrated by a sedative trial; and composite outcomes - as illustrated by the therapeutic hypothermia studies. SUMMARY The 15 research trials point to five areas that will need to be addressed and incorporated into future trial design, including use of: neurologic monitoring during intensive care unit admission; postdischarge outcomes assessments; strategies to improve retention in long-term follow-up; child and family-centered outcomes; and core outcomes datasets.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Children surviving the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with neurologic illness or injury have long-term morbidities in physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning termed postintensive care syndrome (PICS). In this article, we review acute and longitudinal management strategies available to combat PICS in children with acquired brain injury. RECENT FINDINGS Few intervention studies in this vulnerable population target PICS morbidities. Small studies show promise for both inpatient- and outpatient-initiated therapies, mainly focusing on a single domain of PICS and evaluating heterogeneous populations. While evaluating the effects of interventions on longitudinal PICS outcomes is in its infancy, longitudinal clinical programs targeting PICS are increasing. A multidisciplinary team with inpatient and outpatient presence is necessary to deliver the holistic integrated care required to address all domains of PICS in patients and families. While PICS is increasingly recognized as a chronic problem in PICU survivors with acquired brain injury, few interventions have targeted PICS morbidities. Research is needed to improve physical, cognitive, emotional, and social outcomes in survivors and their families.
