Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent decades have seen an increase in children receiving long-term ventilation. To ensure that long-term ventilation decisions incorporate the perspectives of stakeholders, it is vital that empirical evidence is gathered to substantiate frameworks and guidance on shared decision-making for long-term ventilation. This systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis aimed to clarify what shared decision-making constitutes in relation to long-term ventilation initiation for children and young people (<21 years). METHODS A systematic review of qualitative research was undertaken. Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Web of Science. RESULTS Findings from 13 studies were included representative of 363 caregivers and 143 healthcare professional experiences. Components that support shared decision-making included acknowledging the unique positionality of caregivers and ensuring caregivers were informed about the implications of long-term ventilation. Beneficial qualities of engagement between stakeholders included honest, clear and timely dialogue using lay, tactful and sensitive language. CONCLUSION Our findings clarify components and approaches supportive of shared decision-making in discussions about long-term ventilation. This review therefore provides a valuable resource to implement shared decision-making practices in the context of long-term ventilation decisions for children and young people.

Panagiotou P, Kanaka-Gantenbein C, Kaditis AG. Changes in Ventilatory Support Requirements of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Patients Post Gene-Based Therapies. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 9:children9081207. [PMID: 36010097 PMCID: PMC9406975 DOI: 10.3390/children9081207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic neuromuscular disease resulting in global muscular weakness and, frequently, in respiratory failure and premature death. Gene-based therapies like Nusinersen are now available for patients with SMA. The aim of this review was to assess in "real world" studies, whether novel treatments would have a positive impact on the mechanical ventilatory support requirements of SMA patients, already initiated on ventilatory support prior to treatment administration. A literature search was performed in Pubmed using multiple combinations of MESH terms and the snowball procedure. A total of 14 publications were discussed in this review. Considering all patients included in the published studies who were on ventilatory support and were treated with Nusinersen, 13/172 (7.5%) had reduced needs for ventilatory support, 1/172 (0.6%) did not need ventilation post-treatment, and 122/172 (70.9%) were maintained on the same ventilator settings. Moreover, 2/41 (4.9%) children who were offered gene therapy had no need for further ventilatory support and 12/41 (29.2%) had reduced requirements. In conclusion, available evidence suggests that among children with SMA, who are on mechanical respiratory support either noninvasively or via tracheostomy at the time of gene-based treatment, only a few will be weaned off the ventilator or have reduced ventilator needs per 24 h. Children will usually require the same level of support as before treatment.

Parents' dilemma: A therapeutic decision for children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:1062390. [PMID: 36619514 PMCID: PMC9811815 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.1062390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND SMA type 1 is a severe neurodegenerative disorder that, in the absence of curative treatment, leads to death before 1 year of age without ventilatory support. Three innovative therapies are available to increase life expectancy. PURPOSE (i) To increase knowledge about parents' experiences with their decision to have opted for an innovative therapy; (ii) to assess the middle-term psychological consequences in the parents' lives. METHODS We used an in-depth interview; a self-administrated questionnaire and self-report scales (BDI-II, STAI-Y, PSI-SF, SOC-13, PBA, DAS 16 and FICD). We compared parents hesitant before the decision to parents who were not-hesitant and the group of parents whose child was treated with gene therapy (GT) to parents whose child received another innovative therapy. MAIN RESULTS We included n = 18 parents of 13 children. Parent's mean age was 34.7 (±5.2), child's average age was 44.3 months (±38.0). Retrospectively, most parents felt involved by doctors in decision-making on treatment, they felt their point of view was considered and were satisfied with the effects of the treatment. The group of parents "non-hesitant" was more depressed (p < 0.001), more anxious (p = 0.022) and had higher parental stress (p = 0.026) than the group of "hesitant" parents; the group of "GT-treated" parents was more depressed (p = 0.036) than the group of parents with "other therapy". Qualitative data highlights revealed: the need to save the child's life at all costs; the fear of coping with end of life and palliative care, the high value of perceived physician confidence in the treatment, the hope that the child will acquire autonomy or be cured. At the time of the decision, no parents felt they fully understood all of the issues regarding therapy and the disease. CONCLUSION Hesitating before making a decision did not predispose parents to depression and anxiety. The narratives suggest that the parents faced a dilemma regarding their child's health in an urgent context. The decision was not final, and parents will continue to think about it throughout the care process.
