J Adolesc Health 2024:S1054-139X(24)00307-0. [PMID: 39152975 DOI: 10.1016/j.jadohealth.2024.06.023] [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: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The current study aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 booster vaccine on menstrual cycle characteristics in adolescent girls (aged 13-20) compared to those who did not receive a booster vaccine. METHODS This prospective study measured menstrual cycle length for three cycles prior to and four cycles after vaccination (booster group), seven cycles without vaccination (control group). Menstrual flow, menstrual pain, and menstrual symptoms were assessed at baseline and monthly for 3 months. Stress was assessed at baseline using the PROMIS Pediatric Psychological Stress Experiences scale. Generalized linear mixed effects models were used to examine the changes in menstrual characteristics. RESULTS 65 adolescent girls (47 booster; 18 control) were recruited via social media and from ongoing studies in the United States. Girls in the booster group experienced shorter postbooster cycles by an average 5.35 days (p = .03) compared to prebooster cycle lengths, specifically in the second postbooster cycle, while the control group did not show any changes in cycle length pre-to postbooster. Participants who received the booster in the follicular phase had shorter mean postbooster cycle length (p = .0157) compared to their prebooster cycle length. Higher stress was associated with shorter cycles (p = .03) and increased menstrual symptoms (p = <.001), regardless of group. There were no differences in menstrual flow, menstrual pain, or menstrual symptoms in either group. DISCUSSION The COVID-19 booster vaccine was associated with shorter cycles in adolescent girls. These data demonstrate the need for further investigation regarding potential mechanisms of these observed changes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the effectiveness of myPlan Teen app compared to usual care on the use of helpful safety behaviors, dating violence victimization and perpetration, depression, and suicide behavior. METHODS A longitudinal randomized clinical trial with 617 adolescents randomized to myPlan Teen or usual care. Participants in both groups completed surveys using validated measures at baseline, 3, 6-, and 12-months post-baseline. The study analysis examined the difference between the intervention and control groups in change over time in outcomes. RESULTS myPlan Teen significantly increased the use and helpfulness of safety behaviors among adolescents compared to the control group. Intervention users also significantly reduced the perpetration of physical and sexual violence and suicide behaviors. Although both groups experienced decreases in victimization and depression over the 12 months, the differences were not significantly different by group. DISCUSSION myPlan Teen, a digitally delivered intervention, is one of the few interventions targeting dating violence in adolescence that has proven effective.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In adolescent and collegiate athletes with sport-related concussion (SRC), we sought to evaluate the prevalence and predictors of long-term psychological symptoms. METHODS A cohort study was conducted of athletes 12-24-year-old diagnosed with SRC between November 2017 and April 2022. Athletes/proxies were interviewed on psychological symptoms (i.e. anger, anxiety, depression, and stress). Participants who scored ≥75th percentile on one or more PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement System) measures were operationalized to have subclinical, long-term psychological symptoms. Uni/multivariable regressions were used. RESULTS Of 96 participants (60.4% male), the average age was 16.6 ± 2.6 years. The median time from concussion to interview was 286 days (IQR: 247-420). A total of 36.5% athletes demonstrated subclinical, long-term psychological symptoms. Univariate logistic regression revealed significant predictors of these symptoms: history of psychiatric disorder (OR = 7.42 95% CI 1.37,40.09), substance use (OR = 4.65 95% CI 1.15,18.81), new medical diagnosis since concussion (OR = 3.43 95% CI 1.27,9.26), amnesia (OR = 3.42 95% CI 1.02,11.41), other orthopedic injuries since concussion (OR = 3.11 95% CI 1.18,8.21), age (OR = 1.24 95% CI 1.03,1.48), days to return-to-play (OR = 1.02 95% CI 1.00,1.03), and psychiatric medication use (OR = 0.19 95% CI 0.05,0.74). Multivariable model revealed significant predictors: orthopedic injuries (OR = 5.17 95% CI 1.12,24.00) and return-to-play (OR = 1.02 95% CI 1.00,1.04). CONCLUSIONS Approximately one in three athletes endorsed long-term psychological symptoms. Predictors of these symptoms included orthopedic injuries and delayed RTP.

Cross-sectional and longitudinal changes in body composition, anxiety, and depression in a clinical sample of adolescents with anorexia nervosa. J Pediatr Psychol 2024; 49:340-347. [PMID: 38452291 DOI: 10.1093/jpepsy/jsae012] [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: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Eating disorders among children and adolescents have increased in prevalence, and mortality rates for anorexia nervosa are among the highest for any psychiatric disorder. Our current study aimed to (a) examine the cross-sectional relationship between body composition and anxiety/depressive symptoms among 97 adolescents and young adults who have been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, (b) examine the longitudinal changes in body composition and anxiety/depressive symptoms over three months (from baseline to follow-up visit), and (c) examine the longitudinal relationship between change in body composition and change in anxiety/depression over three months. METHOD A retrospective chart review was conducted within an interdisciplinary eating disorder clinic between August 2019 and December 2021. In total, 97 adolescents aged 11-20 years old with diagnoses of anorexia nervosa were included in the analyses. Body composition data were collected at each visit along with parent- and youth-report measures of symptoms of anxiety/depression symptoms. RESULTS Findings indicated adolescents demonstrated some improvement in body composition, as well as parent-reported reductions in anxiety/depression symptoms. Based on parent reports, increased BMI percentile was associated with improvements in anxiety/depression symptoms. On the other hand, youth did not report significant changes in anxiety/depressive symptoms. Additionally, there were no associated improvements with body composition measures, which may be associated with continued body dissatisfaction or symptoms of anxiety and depression predating the eating disorder. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest the importance of including interventions addressing depression, anxiety, and body image as part of treatment.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The prevalence, pathophysiology, and long-term outcomes of COVID-19 (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 [PASC] or "Long COVID") in children and young adults remain unknown. Studies must address the urgent need to define PASC, its mechanisms, and potential treatment targets in children and young adults. OBSERVATIONS We describe the protocol for the Pediatric Observational Cohort Study of the NIH's REsearching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER) Initiative. RECOVER-Pediatrics is an observational meta-cohort study of caregiver-child pairs (birth through 17 years) and young adults (18 through 25 years), recruited from more than 100 sites across the US. This report focuses on two of four cohorts that comprise RECOVER-Pediatrics: 1) a de novo RECOVER prospective cohort of children and young adults with and without previous or current infection; and 2) an extant cohort derived from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study (n = 10,000). The de novo cohort incorporates three tiers of data collection: 1) remote baseline assessments (Tier 1, n = 6000); 2) longitudinal follow-up for up to 4 years (Tier 2, n = 6000); and 3) a subset of participants, primarily the most severely affected by PASC, who will undergo deep phenotyping to explore PASC pathophysiology (Tier 3, n = 600). Youth enrolled in the ABCD study participate in Tier 1. The pediatric protocol was developed as a collaborative partnership of investigators, patients, researchers, clinicians, community partners, and federal partners, intentionally promoting inclusivity and diversity. The protocol is adaptive to facilitate responses to emerging science. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE RECOVER-Pediatrics seeks to characterize the clinical course, underlying mechanisms, and long-term effects of PASC from birth through 25 years old. RECOVER-Pediatrics is designed to elucidate the epidemiology, four-year clinical course, and sociodemographic correlates of pediatric PASC. The data and biosamples will allow examination of mechanistic hypotheses and biomarkers, thus providing insights into potential therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
CONTEXT Football sport participation has been linked to both positive and negative effects on overall health. Social support, a network that provides individuals with resources to cope effectively, may positively influence one's stress and mental health. However, little research has been conducted on adolescent football players. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationships among social support, psychological stress, and mental health in adolescent football athletes. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING High school athletes during the precompetitive and postcompetitive football season in rural Alabama. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS Black and African American adolescent athletes (N = 93) competing for a school-sponsored football team. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) After a competitive season, participants completed a battery of social support, psychological stress, and mental health symptom measures using the National Institutes of Health Toolbox Application and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System. The T-score means, Pearson correlations, and multiple regression analyses were calculated. RESULTS Social support was negatively correlated with psychological stress (emotional support, r = -0.386; family relationships, r = -0.412; peer relationships, r = -0.265) and mental health (depression, r = -0.367 and r = -0.323 for emotional support and family relationships, respectively), whereas psychological stress and mental health (depression, r = 0.751; anxiety, r = 0.732) were positively correlated. In regression analyses, social support measures (ie, emotional support, family relationships, and peer relationships) were used to predict psychological stress (F = 7.094, P < .001, R2 = 0.191), depression symptoms (F = 5.323, P < .001, R2 = 0.151), and anxiety symptoms (F = 1.644, P = .190, R2 = 0.052). CONCLUSIONS In line with the stress-buffering hypothesis, social support in the form of family relationships and overall emotional support garnered through sport participation may reduce psychological stress and help to preserve the mental health of football athletes. These findings indicate that perceived social support may act as a positive resource for the coping of Black and African American adolescent athletes. Further research is warranted to understand the effects of stress and social support on the mental health of adolescents, particularly racial and ethnic minorities who are underrepresented in the athletic training literature.

Abstract
Sleep is foundational for adolescent psychosocial outcomes though often compromised by normative developmental changes and external factors. This cross-sectional study examined sleep quality as a mechanism linking stress and psychosocial outcomes and explored gender differences. Adolescents (N = 246; Mage=15.8; 46.3% female) completed self-report measures assessing sleep quality and psychosocial outcomes. Structural equation modeling results indicated sleep quality accounted for 78.4% of the total effect of stress on school functioning (b=-0.45, p < 0.001) and 54.2% of the total effect of stress on pain (b = 0.14, p = 0.002). A larger indirect effect of sleep quality on school functioning (b=-0.26, p = 0.016) emerged for boys than girls, and the effect of sleep quality on pain was significant only for girls (b = 0.18, p < 0.001, 69.6% of total effect). Sleep quality explained a large proportion of the effect of stress on school functioning and pain. Sleep quality represents a modifiable transdiagnostic pathway that may buffer the effects of stress in adolescence.

Abstract
Data collected from pediatric primary care settings during the pandemic suggest an increase in internalizing symptoms and disparities in care based upon minoritized identity status(es). To inform care moving forward, the current study characterized the pandemic and related technology usage experiences of teenaged pediatric patients from communities with high hardship indexes. As part of a larger mixed-methods study, 17 teens (Mean age = 15.99 ± .99) and 10 caregivers independently voiced experiences related to the pandemic during remote focus group and interview sessions. Thematic analyses were used to assess qualitative data; descriptive analyses were used to characterize qualitative data. Despite no direct queries about the pandemic, 41% of teens and 40% of caregivers described their lived experiences during the pandemic. Two subthemes emerged within the primary theme of COVID-19: (1) Wellness/Mental Health and (2) Smartphone Use and Utility. Although distress and negative effects were voiced, questionnaire data indicated normative psychosocial functioning for both teen self-report and caregiver proxy report. Informed by the voiced experiences of teens and their caregivers from communities with high hardship indexes, methods for better assessing and managing internalizing symptoms in teen patients are presented. A multi-modal and multi-informant approach that leverages technology to garner information about teens' experiences and deliver care may help improve the well-being of teens in communities systemically burdened with disparities.

Abstract
Reports of deportation can create a state of chronic fear in children living in mixed-status immigrant families over their own or a loved one's potential deportation. One indicator of health disparities among youth is elevated rates of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use (ATOD). Yet little is known about the effects of fear of deportation (FOD) on ATOD or what might promote resilience. We explore the associations between FOD and ATOD use, how stress mediates this relationship, and whether hope moderates the mediated pathway from FOD to ATOD. Participants were 200 first- and second-generation 7th grade Hispanic youth (49% female) assessed across three waves of data. A moderated mediation model tested the indirect effect of FOD on ATOD through stress and whether hope moderated these associations. FOD was measured by the Family Fear of Deportation Scale. Snyder's Children's Hope Scale measured hope. Stress was measured by a short version of Pediatric Psychological Stress Measure. ATOD was adapted from the Monitoring the Future project. FOD was not directly associated with ATOD use. However, this path was fully mediated by stress. Hope significantly moderated the path from FOD to stress such that a one unit increase in hope completely offset the effects of FOD on stress. Hope did not moderate the path from stress to ATOD use. Interventions that increase awareness of deportation trauma, alleviate stress, and promote hope may help prevent, delay initiation into, and/or decrease ATOD among Hispanic first- and second-generation youth.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pediatric measures assess physical, emotional, and social health among children and adolescents. However, their measurement properties have not been systematically examined in youth with chronic pain. A systematic review applying the COnsensus based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) methodology was conducted to evaluate self-reported PROMIS pediatric measures in youth with chronic pain, assessing 8 measurement properties across all versions (item bank, short form, and computer adaptive testing) from 63 studies covering 25 measures. Moderate or high-quality evidence was most available for content validity, structural validity, internal consistency (measurement precision), and construct validity. Four short-form PROMIS pediatric measures-mobility, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and physical stress experiences-achieved recommendation for the use in chronic pain clinical trials; 7 approached recommendation and 14, including the commonly used PROMIS Pediatric Pain Interference Scale, would be recommended with further evidence. Recommendations were also provided for the use of each measure in observational studies. Overall, based on the existing evidence, a total of 11 self-reported PROMIS pediatric short-form measures, including pain intensity, pain behavior, mobility, sleep disturbance, sleep-related impairment, anxiety, depressive symptoms, psychological stress experiences, physical stress experiences, family relationships, and positive effect, are recommended or approaching recommendation for use in youth ages 8 to 19 years with chronic pain. Research is needed to further establish test-retest reliability, measurement errors, cross-cultural validity, and responsiveness. Future work should expand the evaluation of PROMIS pediatric measures in subpopulations of youth with chronic pain, particularly young children and those with neurodevelopmental disabilities.

Agreement and disagreement between child-caregiver symptom and function reports in pediatric oncology. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2024; 71:e30710.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE The use of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) is increasing in pediatric clinical practice and research, including in clinical trials. Treatment teams are now able to discern differences in symptom and function reports between children with cancer and their family caregivers. Few studies, however, have quantified such differences. DESIGN/METHODS Children and caregivers were matched to create a dyad sample, and child/caregiver agreement of responses to the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pediatric symptom and function measures were examined using the established minimally important difference (MID) value (three points) derived from these measures. Latent class analysis (LCA) was then used to analyze the status/patterns of response agreement. RESULTS A total of 430 dyadic cases (dyads) were used for LCA modeling. Three classes of child-caregiver concordance resulted: (a) Agreement-caregiver and child within one MID (200 dyads); (b) Disagreement-caregiver underestimating symptoms (47 dyads with caregiver scores more than 1 MID lower than the child scores); and (c) Disagreement-caregiver overestimating symptoms (183 dyads with caregiver scores more than 1 MID higher than child scores). CONCLUSION As PRO use increases in pediatric oncology, clinician identification of child/caregiver differences on symptom and function reports will help to distinguish family perceptions of cancer treatment impact. The treatment goal, in addition to mitigating symptom and function treatment-related burdens for the child and caregiver, may now also be to discern the direction and clinical meaning of the difference within the child-parent dyad.

Improvements in sleep problems and their associations with mental health symptoms: A study of children and adolescents participating in a digital mental health intervention. Digit Health 2024; 10:20552076241249928. [PMID: 38736734 PMCID: PMC11084994 DOI: 10.1177/20552076241249928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective A growing number of youth are utilizing digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) for treatment of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Although these mental health symptoms are closely related to sleep problems, it is unknown whether nonsleep DMHIs indirectly confer improvements in sleep. Using retrospective data, the current study assesses (1) whether youth sleep problems improve over participation in a nonsleep DMHI, and (2) whether mental health symptom severity and improvement are correlated with sleep problem severity over time. Methods Sleep problems and mental health symptoms were assessed every 30 days among children (ages 5-12) and adolescents (ages 13-17) participating in a pediatric digital mental health intervention (DMHI; N = 1219). Results Children and adolescents with elevated sleep problems (39.3%; n = 479) were older (P < .001), more predominantly female (P < .001), and more likely to have elevated anxiety (P < .001), depressive (P < .001) and inattention symptoms (P = .001), as compared to those with nonelevated sleep problems (60.7%; n = 740). From the baseline to last assessment, 77.3% (n = 269) of members with elevated sleep problems exhibited improvements, with sleep problems decreasing significantly over each month in care (P < .001). Members with improvements in anxiety, depressive, and/or ADHD symptoms had larger improvements in sleep over time compared to their peers with no improvement in their mental health symptoms (Months in care*Change type: P < .001 for all). Conclusions Our results provide preliminary evidence that participation in a pediatric DMHI is associated with improvements in sleep problems, even when youth are not being treated directly for sleep problems. These findings highlight a valuable secondary benefit of participating in mental health care within pediatric DMHIs and warrant further experimental research.

Abstract
PURPOSE Examine children's mental health symptoms, including changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS The COVID Experiences Surveys, designed to be representative of the U.S. household population, were administered online to parents of children aged 5-12 years (wave 1 (W1), October-November 2020, n = 1561; wave 2 (W2), March-May 2021, n = 1287). We modeled changes in children's symptoms of anxiety, depression, and psychological stress and examined associations between demographic characteristics, COVID-19 related experiences, and protective factors with symptoms across both waves using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS Based on parent-report, children's symptoms of anxiety and depression decreased from W1 to W2 (Δ t-score anxiety = -1.8 [95% confidence intervals (CI): -2.5, -1.0]; Δ t-score depression = -1.0 [CI: -1.7, -0.3]). Psychological stress remained consistent. Across waves, older children and children with an emotional, mental, developmental, behavioral, physical, or medical condition were more likely to have specific poor mental health symptoms. Poor mental health symptoms were more likely among children with several contextual stressors (e.g., economic stress, parental emotional strain) and less likely among children with protective factors (e.g., daily routines, neighborhood cohesion). CONCLUSIONS Establishing programs that support mental health, improving access to mental health services, and fostering collaborations to advance children's mental health is important.

Abstract
To assess the public health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, investigators from the National Institutes of Health Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) research program developed the Pandemic-Related Traumatic Stress Scale (PTSS). Based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) acute stress disorder symptom criteria, the PTSS is designed for adolescent (13-21 years) and adult self-report and caregiver-report on 3-12-year-olds. To evaluate psychometric properties, we used PTSS data collected between April 2020 and August 2021 from non-pregnant adult caregivers (n = 11,483), pregnant/postpartum individuals (n = 1,656), adolescents (n = 1,795), and caregivers reporting on 3-12-year-olds (n = 2,896). We used Mokken scale analysis to examine unidimensionality and reliability, Pearson correlations to evaluate relationships with other relevant variables, and analyses of variance to identify regional, age, and sex differences. Mokken analysis resulted in a moderately strong, unidimensional scale that retained nine of the original 10 items. We detected small to moderate positive associations with depression, anxiety, and general stress, and negative associations with life satisfaction. Adult caregivers had the highest PTSS scores, followed by adolescents, pregnant/postpartum individuals, and children. Caregivers of younger children, females, and older youth had higher PTSS scores compared to caregivers of older children, males, and younger youth, respectively.

Pain-Related Stigma and Its Associations With Clinical and Experimental Pain Severity in Youth With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain Conditions. J Pediatr Psychol 2023; 48:842-851.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many children with chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions experience stigma which can have negative downstream consequences. This study compares ratings of clinical pain (current pain intensity and pain interference), experimental pain (temporal summation, cold water tolerance, and cold pain intensity), and pain-related stigma among three groups of youth with rheumatic conditions. The relations among ratings of pain-related stigma and pain variables were explored. METHODS Eighty-eight youth aged 8-17 years with a diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA = 32), juvenile fibromyalgia (JFM = 31), or non-specific chronic pain (NSCP = 25) completed measures of clinical pain ratings (average 7-day pain intensity, day of assessment pain (DoA), and pain interference), experimental pain (cold pain tolerance, cold pain intensity, and temporal summation of mechanical pain), and pain-related stigma. Data analysis compared pain-related stigma and pain ratings across the three groups and examined the relations among pain-related stigma and pain ratings. RESULTS Youth with JFM reported higher ratings of clinical pain and pain-related stigma than their counterparts with NSCP or JIA. However, there were no differences in experimental pain. Pain-related stigma was associated with greater ratings of pain interference, particularly for those with JIA and NSCP. Pain-related stigma was also associated with greater average daily pain intensity but not DoA. CONCLUSION Youth with medically unexplained pain report greater stigma and worse pain than their peers; thus, robust assessment of pain in this population is necessary. Future work should longitudinally explore the impact of pain-related stigma on pain outcomes and treatment responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of school-aged children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) using the standardized Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) assessment tools. STUDY DESIGN The Indoor Air Quality and Respiratory Morbidity in Children with BPD Study is an ongoing observational study of school-aged children with BPD. HRQOL is assessed at enrollment by 3 PROMIS questionnaires, Parent Proxy Scale-Global Health 7, Parent Proxy Psychological Stress Experiences-Short Form, and the Parent Proxy Profile-Profile-25. PROMIS data were tested for significant deviation from the standardized T-Score references for normative populations of children. RESULTS Eighty-nine subjects enrolled in the AERO-BPD study had complete outcome data for HRQOL. The mean age was 9 (±2) years and 43% were female. Mean days on respiratory support totaled 96 (±40). Across all domains, school-aged children with BPD reported similar or slightly better outcomes than the reference sample. Statistically significant findings of lower depression (P < .0001), fatigue (P < .0001), and pain (P < .0001) scores were found; there was no difference in psychological stress experiences (P = .87), global health (P = .06), anxiety (P = .08), relationships (P = .80), and mobility (P = .59) domains. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that children with BPD may have less depression, fatigue, and pain HRQL than the general population. Once validated, these findings may offer reassurance to parents and providers caring for children with BPD.

Abstract
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and PROMIS Psychological Stress Experiences-Pediatric (PPSE) are two self-report instruments that have been used with adolescents to measure subjective feelings of stress. Stress is a critical construct to evaluate, as chronic stress can result in negative long-term consequences for an individual's physical and mental health. While the PSS is more commonly used in research and clinical practice, use of the PPSE is becoming more widespread. This increased usage necessitates a way to compare the measures, for example, when changing which instrument is used in practice or when combining data from the two measures in pooled analysis. After assessing linking assumptions, we used equipercentile linking to score-link the two measures on the raw score and T-score metrics for both longer forms (10 PSS items; 8 PPSE items) and shorter forms (4 PSS or PPSE items), yielding crosswalk tables (Open Science Framework: https://osf.io/9pzyk/) to convert scores on each measure to the metric of the other. Raw scores between measures (.670 ≤ r ≤ .794) were not sufficiently correlated for score linking. Therefore, linked scores were treated as predictions, rather than counterfactual values on the alternative measure. Further, confirmatory factor analyses revealed that this low correlation was primarily due to the low reliability and multidimensionality of the PSS, and the derived linking functions were found to have minimal bias. Recommendations for the use of these conversion tables by researchers and practitioners are provided. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE The lived experience of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is poorly characterized. We examined the associations between patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores measuring their fatigue, sleep health, psychological distress, family relationships, and global health with clinical outcomes over time in children, adolescents, and younger adults with CKD and investigated how the PRO scores of this group compare with those of other children, adolescents, and younger adults. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 212 children, adolescentss, and adults aged 8 to 21 years with CKD and their parents recruited from 16 nephrology programs across North America. PREDICTORS CKD stage, disease etiology, and sociodemographic and clinical variables. OUTCOME PRO scores over 2 years. ANALYTICAL APPROACH We compared PRO scores in the CKD sample with a nationally representative general pediatric population (ages 8 to 17 years). Change of PROs over time and association of sociodemographic and clinical variables with PROs were assessed using multivariable regression models. RESULTS For all time points, 84% of the parents and 77% of the children, adolescents, and younger adults completed PRO surveys . The baseline PRO scores for the participants with CKD revealed a higher burden of fatigue, sleep-related impairment, psychological distress, impaired global health, and poorer family relationships compared with the general pediatric population, with median score differences≥1 SD for fatigue and global health. The baseline PRO scores did not differ by CKD stage or glomerular versus nonglomerular etiology. Over 2 years, PROs were stable with a<1-point annual change on average on each measure and intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from 0.53 to 0.79, indicating high stability. Hospitalization and parent-reported sleep problems were associated with worse fatigue, psychological health, and global health scores (all P<0.04). LIMITATIONS We were unable to assess responsiveness to change with dialysis or transplant. CONCLUSIONS Children with CKD experience a high yet stable burden of impairment across numerous PRO measures, especially fatigue and global health, independent of disease severity. These findings underscore the importance of assessing PROs, including fatigue and sleep measures, in this vulnerable population. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have many treatment demands and experience many systemic effects. How CKD impacts the daily life of a child is poorly understood. We surveyed 212 children, adolescents, and younger adults with CKD and their parents over 24 months to assess the participants' well-being over time. Among children, adolescents, and younger adults with CKD we found a very high and persistent burden of psychological distress that did not differ by degree of CKD or type of kidney disease. The participants with CKD endorsed greater impairment in fatigue and global health compared with healthy children, adolescents, and younger adults, and parent-reported sleep problems were associated with poorer patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores across all domains. These findings emphasize the importance of including PRO measures, including fatigue and sleep measures, into routine clinical care to optimize the lived experience of children with CKD.

Abstract
Opioid medications are commonly prescribed after pediatric orthopaedic surgery, but there is a critical need to optimize prescribing practice. This study identifies socio-economic characteristics, surgical characteristics, and patient reported psychological factors influencing postoperative opioid use in this population and found that post-operative opioid use in this pediatric orthopaedic population is multifactorial. Physicians should consider implementing protocols for initial opioid prescriptions to cover two to three days following common orthopaedic surgeries for most pediatric patients.

Abstract
Objective To examine the psychometric properties of Snyder's Children's Hope Scale (CHS) with first- and second-generation Latino immigrant youth, using item response theory, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and measurement invariance tests. Background Stress experienced by youth in 2020 has heightened interest in resilience factors such as hope. The CHS is widely used to measure hope but has not been validated for longitudinal assessments with immigrant populations. Methods Participants were 233 low socioeconomic status first- and second-generation Latino immigrant youth (50.43% female, 62% U.S.-born, and 81% of Mexican heritage). Data were collected at two timepoints spanning 4 weeks. Results Rather than the original six-item two-dimensional scale, our results supported a four-item one-dimensional scale, with excellent model fit, strong invariance across time, by gender and generation status, good reliability (α = .81), and the expected negative association with stress. Conclusions The four-item Hope scale is suitable for longitudinal assessments with first- and second-generation Latino immigrant populations and can be used for examining differences by gender and generation status in research and practice to assess youth resilience. Implications This study underscores the need for practitioners and researchers to rigorously investigate the psychometric properties of a measure before its use with diverse populations.

Abstract
Objective This study assesses the psychometric properties of the four- and eight-item versions of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pediatric Psychological Stress Measure (PPSM) for use with Latino immigrant adolescents. Background Immigrant Latino youth are exposed to numerous stressors that can have consequences affecting health well into adulthood. However, few studies have assessed the suitability of psychosocial measures for this group. Methods Participants included 286 first- and second-generation immigrant Latino youth in middle school in an urban school district in the United States. Analyses included tests for reliability, validity, item characteristics, and measurement invariance across differing levels of acculturation and gender groups. Results Both the four- and the eight-item PPSM are internally consistent, have strong construct validity, and strict factorial invariance across differing levels of acculturation. The four-item PPSM demonstrates strict invariance, but the eight-item version shows only configural invariance by gender. Conclusion The PPSM is a rigorous measure when assessing immigrant Latino youth stress level. The four-item PPSM is brief, simple to administer, and appropriate for use with Latino youth across differing levels of acculturation and gender groups. Implications The four-item PPSM lessens respondent fatigue and may be incorporated into tools practitioners and researchers use to assess perceived stress among immigrant Latino youth.

Abstract
Objective This study reports on the psychometric properties of a new instrument to assess family fear of deportation in two versions (binary and polytomous response options). Background The impact of fear of deportation extends beyond foreign-born youth to U.S. citizen children in families with unauthorized members, and negatively affects their academic achievement and their physical, mental, and behavioral health. A measure assessing levels of fear of deportation among youth is lacking. Methods Participants were first- and second-generation Latino immigrant youth (N = 145 in Study 1 and N = 107 in Study 2). Item response theory (IRT), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlation analysis, and reliability tests were used to assess the scale's psychometric properties. Results The results supported a five-item binary version and a six-item polytomous version of the scale. Both demonstrated excellent model fit, good reliability, and criterion validity. Conclusions The six-item polytomous version is slightly more parsimonious than the five-item binary version scale, has better internal consistency, and captures a modestly wider range of the construct. The binary version may be preferable for immigrant youth who prefer straightforward response options. Implications Researchers and practitioners can use either version of the Family Fear of Deportation Scale with confidence to assess deportation-related fear among Latino immigrant youth.

Abstract
Background Successful return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) can be affected by a patient's physical and psychological state throughout the rehabilitation process. Purpose To prospectively compare differences in patients at 6 months after primary ACLR with the ACL-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) or pediatric (Pedi)-IKDC, Hospital for Special Surgery Pediatric Functional Activity Brief Scale (Pedi-FABS), and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Psychological Stress Experiences (PROMIS-PSE) scores. Study Design Prospective cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods Patients enrolled were 8 to 35 years old who underwent primary ACLR and had their 6-month follow-up appointments between December 2018 and March 2020. Patients were divided into 3 age groups as follows: (1) preadolescents (10-14 years); (2) adolescents (15-18 years); and (3) adults (>18 years). Outcomes on the ACL-RSI, IKDC/Pedi-IKDC, Pedi-FABS, and PROMIS-PSE were compared according to age group, graft type (hamstring, patellar tendon, quadriceps, or iliotibial band autograft), and sex. Results A total of 176 patients (69 male, 107 female), with a mean age of 17.1 ± 3.1 years were included in the study. The mean ACL-RSI scores were significantly different among age groups (preadolescents, 75 ± 18.9; adolescents, 61.5 ± 20.4; and adults, 52.5 ± 19.8 [P < .001]) and graft types (P = .024). The IKDC and PROMIS-PSE scores were also significantly different among age groups (P < .001 and P = .044, respectively) and graft types (P = .034 and P < .001, respectively), with the iliotibial graft and the younger age group performing the best. There was no significant difference in the Pedi-FABS either by age group (P = .127) or graft type (P = .198). Female patients had lower ACL-RSI scores and higher (worse) scores on PROMIS-PSE than their male counterparts (P = .019 and P < .001, respectively), with no sex-based differences on IKDC or Pedi-FABS scores. The ACL-RSI and IKDC were positively correlated (Spearman r = 0.57; P < .001), while the ACL-RSI and PROMIS-PSE were negatively correlated (Pearson r = -0.34; P < .001). Conclusion This study suggests that psychological profiles and subjective perceptions of knee function 6 months after ACLR may vary in patients of different ages and between the sexes. Preadolescent patients had better scores on a majority of patient-reported outcomes compared with adolescent and adult patients.

[PMID: 36745402 PMCID: PMC10254970 DOI: 10.1089/g4h.2022.0202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Adolescents frequently experience high levels of anxiety and stress, which can impede quality of life and academic performance. Boxing as a form of exercise has been shown to have mental health benefits in adults. Methods: This study investigated the impact of boxing exercise with a virtual reality (VR) game vs. with a guided video on anxiety, stress, and executive function in adolescents. Participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 cohorts: Oculus Rift BOXVR game (n = 14), boxing with a guided workout video (n = 14), or a non-intervention control (n = 14). The BOXVR and guided video groups participated in 10-minute exercise sessions, 5 times a week for 3 weeks. Results: The groups were comparable at baseline on all outcomes. Only BOXVR participants exhibited a significant (p < 0.001) reduction in stress and significant improvements on the Trail Making Test (TMT) B at weekly checkpoints and follow up. All cohorts showed improvements in executive function on the TMT A. At the end of the study, the BOXVR group reported significantly lower stress levels than the guided video group, and significantly better TMT A & B scores than the control group. Only the control group showed a significant reduction in anxiety but the groups were not significantly different in anxiety at the end of the study. The BOXVR group reported significantly greater enjoyment after each exercise session than the guided video group. Conclusion: BOXVR was shown to be effective in reducing adolescent stress and improving executive function over a three-week period. While larger studies with real-life functional outcomes are necessary, boxing with an immersive VR game represents a potential non-pharmaceutical mode to reduce stress in adolescents that is easy to implement in school settings.

Abstract
Objective This report is of the construction and initial psychometric properties of the Coronavirus Impact Scale in multiple large and diverse samples of families with children and adolescents. The scale was established to capture the impact of the coronavirus pandemic during its first wave. Differences in impact between samples and internal structure within samples were assessed. Method A total of 572 caregivers of children and adolescents or expecting mothers in diverse clinical and research settings completed the Coronavirus Impact Scale. Samples differed in regard to developmental stage, background, inpatient/outpatient status, and primary research or clinical setting. Model free methods were used to measure the scale's internal structure and to determine a scoring method. Differences between samples in specific item responses were measured by multivariate ordinal regression. Results The Coronavirus Impact Scale demonstrated good internal consistency in a variety of clinical and research populations. Across the groups studied, single, immigrant, predominantly Latinx mothers of young children reported the greatest impact of the pandemic, with noteworthy effects on food access and finances reported. Individuals receiving outpatient or inpatient care reported greater impacts on health care access. Elevated scores on the Coronavirus Impact Scale were positively associated with measures of caregiver anxiety and both caregiver- and child-reported stress at a moderate effect size. Conclusion The Coronavirus Impact Scale is a publicly available scale with adequate psychometric properties for use in measuring the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in diverse populations.

Abstract
Importance The prevalence, pathophysiology, and long-term outcomes of COVID-19 (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 [PASC] or "Long COVID") in children and young adults remain unknown. Studies must address the urgent need to define PASC, its mechanisms, and potential treatment targets in children and young adults. Observations We describe the protocol for the Pediatric Observational Cohort Study of the NIH's RE searching COV ID to E nhance R ecovery (RECOVER) Initiative. RECOVER-Pediatrics is an observational meta-cohort study of caregiver-child pairs (birth through 17 years) and young adults (18 through 25 years), recruited from more than 100 sites across the US. This report focuses on two of five cohorts that comprise RECOVER-Pediatrics: 1) a de novo RECOVER prospective cohort of children and young adults with and without previous or current infection; and 2) an extant cohort derived from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study ( n =10,000). The de novo cohort incorporates three tiers of data collection: 1) remote baseline assessments (Tier 1, n=6000); 2) longitudinal follow-up for up to 4 years (Tier 2, n=6000); and 3) a subset of participants, primarily the most severely affected by PASC, who will undergo deep phenotyping to explore PASC pathophysiology (Tier 3, n=600). Youth enrolled in the ABCD study participate in Tier 1. The pediatric protocol was developed as a collaborative partnership of investigators, patients, researchers, clinicians, community partners, and federal partners, intentionally promoting inclusivity and diversity. The protocol is adaptive to facilitate responses to emerging science. Conclusions and Relevance RECOVER-Pediatrics seeks to characterize the clinical course, underlying mechanisms, and long-term effects of PASC from birth through 25 years old. RECOVER-Pediatrics is designed to elucidate the epidemiology, four-year clinical course, and sociodemographic correlates of pediatric PASC. The data and biosamples will allow examination of mechanistic hypotheses and biomarkers, thus providing insights into potential therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some children and adolescents receiving chemotherapy experience few symptom-related adverse events, whereas others experience multiple adverse events. If oncology nurses could identify patients likely to have pronounced chemotherapy-related adverse events, tailored supportive care could be matched to these patients' symptom burdens. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify symptom profiles in children and adolescents before and after chemotherapy, and the sociodemographic and psychological factors associated with profile classification and change. METHODS Participants ranging from 7 to 18 years (n = 436) completed 6 Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System pediatric symptom measures within 72 hours preceding (T1) and 1 to 2 weeks after (T2) chemotherapy. Profile membership and change were determined by latent profile/latent transition analyses. Associations with profiles and profile transitions were examined using multinomial logit models and logistic regression. RESULTS Three symptom suffering profiles were identified at T1 and T2: high, medium, and low. The high symptom suffering profile included the fewest participants (T1, n = 70; T2, n = 55); the low symptom suffering profile included the most participants (T1, n = 200; T2, n = 207). Of the participants, 57% remained in the same profile from T1 to T2. Psychological stress was significantly associated with T1 and T2 profile classifications and profile transition; age was associated with profile classification at T1. CONCLUSION Three symptom suffering profiles existed in a sample of pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy, indicating that children and adolescents have differing cancer treatment experiences. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Oncology nurses could screen pediatric oncology patients for their symptom suffering profile membership and subsequently prioritize care efforts for those with a high suffering profile.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Youth newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) may be physically impacted by their disease and experience increased psychological stress. Stress is known to relate to greater reported IBD symptoms, but little is known about the longitudinal experience of stress and clinical symptoms of youth newly diagnosed with IBD. METHODS Fifty-seven children (Mage = 14.26, range 8-17 years) diagnosed with IBD completed measures assessing psychological stress (PROMIS Psychological Stress Experiences), depressive symptoms (Children's Depression Inventory-2), and clinical disease symptoms (Self-Report Disease Activity) within 45 days of diagnosis and at 6-month and 1-year follow-ups. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to describe trajectory patterns of psychological stress over the first year of diagnosis and logistic regression identified predictors of group membership. RESULTS Two distinct groups of psychological stress trajectories were identified: 1) low prevalence over the first year of diagnosis (51%) and 2) moderate and increasing prevalence (49%). Membership in the moderate and increasing psychological stress group was associated with female sex and greater IBD symptoms at diagnosis. CONCLUSION Findings suggest roughly half of youth newly diagnosed with IBD would likely benefit from multidisciplinary assessment and intervention to promote adaptive stress management, given moderate and increasing stress levels. Future research is needed to evaluate specific intervention techniques most helpful to youth with IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Affective symptoms, specifically, anxiety, are often overlooked after sport-related concussion (SRC), and may contribute to prolonged recovery. OBJECTIVE To examine the impact of anxiety during clinical recovery among adolescents (13-18y) enrolled in a randomized trial of aerobic exercise for SRC. METHODS Patients at three sites were randomized into aerobic exercise or stretching arms, and enrolled in the 4-week intervention. The relationship between PROMIS Anxiety score at initial visit and time to symptom resolution was evaluated with survival analysis. The relationship between weekly PROMIS Anxiety score and Post-concussion Symptom Inventory (PCSI) score was evaluated with Linear Mixed Models. Analyses adjusted for study arm and baseline covariates. RESULTS Among 54 adolescents (median age = 15.8y, initial visit PCSI score = 32, pre-injury PROMIS Anxiety score = 2), median time to symptom resolution was 10 days (25th-75th percentiles: 6-24) in the Low-PROMIS Anxiety group and 12 days (25th-75th percentiles: 5-21) in the High-PROMIS Anxiety group (p = 0.62). Each additional unit of PROMIS Anxiety score corresponded to a 1.52-unit higher PCSI total score (p < 0.01). Neither effect varied by aerobic exercise/stretching group. CONCLUSION Higher initial PROMIS Anxiety score was not significantly associated with delayed symptom resolution. However, over time, PROMIS Anxiety score was significantly associated with elevated PCSI score, regardless of exercise/stretching group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Examine the psychometric properties, validity in relation to a legacy measure, and diagnostic accuracy of the PROMIS Anxiety Short Form 2.0 (PROMIS A-SF) Caregiver and Youth Reports in a clinical sample. METHODS Participants were 301 youth and caregivers referred to a behavioral health clinic by their pediatrician. Participants and their caregivers completed PROMIS A-SF (youth and caregiver proxy), SCARED (youth and caregiver proxy), and a semi-structured interview. Descriptive, correlational, test-retest reliability, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted for both measures. RESULTS PROMIS A-SF measures were highly correlated with SCARED total scores and the panic subscale. PROMIS A-SF measures had AUCs ranging from .49-.79 for the detection of any of three primary subtypes of anxiety: Generalized Anxiety, Separation Anxiety, and Social Anxiety. IMPLICATIONS Dimensional anxiety subtypes, such as Social Anxiety may not be well detected on the PROMIS youth measure. Use of the PROMIS A-SF as a part of Evidence Based Assessment process is discussed.

Abstract
PROBLEM Child's perceived stress is a term used widely in literature, yet it is poorly defined. Perceived stress in childhood has been linked to negative health outcomes throughout the lifespan. Therefore, the ability of researchers and healthcare providers to conceptualize child's perceived stress and form accurate measures of the concept is of utmost importance. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Following the eight steps identified by Walker and Avant, a literature review was conducted to identify studies that measured perceived stress in school-age children over the last 10 years. SAMPLE Of 914 records identified, 136 were screened, and 16 met inclusion criteria. RESULTS Child's perceived stress is best defined as any actual or imagined threat, personal and specific to childhood, which overwhelms the child and leads to changes in emotional, psychological, developmental, and/or physiological domains. CONCLUSIONS While the concept of child's perceived stress is understood similarly throughout studies, there is notable variation in the way child's perceived stress is measured. Because of the specificity of perceived stress to childhood, and the wide range of what may be perceived as stressful by the child, the child is the best reporter of child's perceived stress. IMPLICATIONS Researchers and clinicians must use child self-report tools to measure the concept of child's perceived stress. Opportunities exist for healthcare workers to intervene, educate, and help children and families recognize and manage child's perceived stress. This concept analysis includes many resources that practitioners may use to help alleviate stress in children.

Abstract
PROBLEM Stress in children remains a complex concept to examine due to the inherent subjectivity and lack of specific manifestations, as well as the multiple ways stress can be defined and measured in children. Because stress is multifactorial,is experienced daily by children, and undergirds adolescent health and early mental illness, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of stress and the effects of stress in children from infancy through age twelve years. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA To be included in this review, literature must pertain to and highlight theories, definitions/classifications, and measurements of stress in children from infancy to 12 years of age. SAMPLE The most pertinent articles identified through database searches (PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Google Scholar), gray literature sources (e.g., child health websites), and reference lists of identified articles were included in this narrative overview. RESULTS The results of this review are organized by themes and include: classifications and definitions of stress, stress-related theories, and tools to measure stress in children. CONCLUSIONS Research addressing stressors and stress in children is limited, and there is wide variation in how researchers define and classify stress in children. Existing measures of stress in children younger than 12 address physiological, psychological, and observational components, but may be inconsistent and threaten validity of otherwise well-designed and well-executed studies. IMPLICATIONS Improving the understanding and accurate measurement of stress in children enables researchers and clinicians to curtail undesirable health outcomes.

Abstract
The transition from early childhood to teen years (5-12) is a critical time of development, which can be made particularly challenging by a burn injury. Assessing postburn recovery during these years is important for improving pediatric survivors' development and health outcomes. Few validated burn-specific measures exist for this age group. The purpose of this study was to generate item pools that will be used to create a future computerized adaptive test (CAT) assessing postburn recovery in school-aged children. Item pool development was guided by the previously developed School-Aged Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (SA-LIBRE5-12) conceptual framework. The item pool development process involved a systematic literature review, extraction of candidate items from existing legacy measures, iterative item review during expert consensus meetings, and parent cognitive interviews. The iterative item review with experts consisted of six rounds. A total of 10 parent cognitive interviews were conducted. The three broad themes of concern were items that needed 1) clarification, needed context, or were vague, 2) age dependence and relevance, and 3) word choice. The cognitive interviews indicated that survey instructions, recall period, item stem, and response choices were interpretable by respondents. Final item pool based on parental feedback consists of 57, 81, and 60 items in physical, psychological, and family and social functioning, respectively. Developed item pools (n = 198) in three domains are consistent with the existing conceptual framework. The next step involves field testing the item pool and calibration using item response theory to develop and validate the SA-LIBRE5-12 CAT Profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of patient-reported outcome measures, especially Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures, has increased in recent years. Given this growth, it is imperative to ensure that the measures being used are validated for the intended population(s)/disease(s). Our objective was to assess the construct validity of 8 PROMIS computer adaptive testing (CAT) measures among children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). METHODS We prospectively enrolled 200 children (aged 10 to 17 y) with AIS, who completed 8 PROMIS CATs (Anxiety, Depressive Symptoms, Mobility, Pain Behavior, Pain Interference, Peer Relationships, Physical Activity, Physical Stress Experiences) and the Scoliosis Research Society-22r questionnaire (SRS-22r) electronically. Treatment categories were observation, bracing, indicated for surgery, or postoperative from posterior spinal fusion. Construct validity was evaluated using known group analysis and convergent and discriminant validity analyses. Analysis of variance was used to identify differences in PROMIS T -scores by treatment category (known groups). The Spearman rank correlation coefficient ( rs ) was calculated between corresponding PROMIS and SRS-22r domains (convergent) and between unrelated PROMIS domains (discriminant). Floor/ceiling effects were calculated. RESULTS Among treatment categories, significant differences were found in PROMIS Mobility, Pain Behavior, Pain Interference, and Physical Stress Experiences and in all SRS-22r domains ( P <0.05) except Mental Health ( P =0.15). SRS-22r Pain was strongly correlated with PROMIS Pain Interference ( rs =-0.72) and Pain Behavior ( rs =-0.71) and moderately correlated with Physical Stress Experiences ( rs =-0.57). SRS-22r Mental Health was strongly correlated with PROMIS Depressive Symptoms ( rs =-0.72) and moderately correlated with Anxiety ( rs =-0.62). SRS-22r Function was moderately correlated with PROMIS Mobility ( rs =0.64) and weakly correlated with Physical Activity ( rs =0.34). SRS-22r Self-Image was weakly correlated with PROMIS Peer Relationships ( rs =0.33). All unrelated PROMIS CATs were weakly correlated (| rs |<0.40). PROMIS Anxiety, Mobility, Pain Behavior, and Pain Interference and SRS-22r Function, Pain, and Satisfaction displayed ceiling effects. CONCLUSIONS Evidence supports the construct validity of 6 PROMIS CATs in evaluating AIS patients. Ceiling effects should be considered when using specific PROMIS CATs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, prognostic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify pediatric patient-reported outcomes (PROs) that are associated with chronic conditions and to evaluate the effects of chronic disease activity on PROs. STUDY DESIGN Participants (8-24 years old) and their parents were enrolled into 14 studies that evaluated Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System PROs across 10 chronic conditions-asthma, atopic dermatitis, cancer, cancer survivors, chronic kidney disease, Crohn's disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, lupus, sickle cell disease, and type 1 diabetes mellitus. PRO scores were contrasted with the US general population of children using nationally representative percentiles. PRO-specific coefficients of variation were computed to illustrate the degree of variation in scores within vs between conditions. Condition-specific measures of disease severity and Cohen d effect sizes were used to examine PRO scores by disease activity. RESULTS Participants included 2975 child respondents and 2392 parent respondents who provided data for 3409 unique children: 52% were 5-12 years old, 52% female, 25% African American/Black, and 14% Hispanic. Across all 10 chronic conditions, children reported more anxiety, fatigue, pain, and mobility restrictions than the general pediatric population. Variation in PRO scores within chronic disease cohorts was equivalent to variation within the general population, exceeding between-cohort variation by factors of 1.9 (mobility) to 5.7 (anxiety). Disease activity was consistently associated with poorer self-reported health, and these effects were weakest for peer relationships. CONCLUSIONS Chronic conditions are associated with symptoms and functional status in children and adolescents across 10 different disorders. These findings highlight the need to complement conventional clinical evaluations with those obtained directly from patients themselves using PROs.

Abstract
Incidence rates of mental health disorders among adolescents is increasing, indicating a strong need for effective prevention efforts at a population level. The etiology of mental health disorders includes genetic, social, and environmental factors. Ultrafine particles (UFPs; particles less than 0.1 μm in diameter) have been shown to exert neurotoxic effects on the brain; however, epidemiologic evidence on the relationship between UFPs and childhood mental health outcomes is unclear. The objective of this study was to determine if exposure to UFPs was associated with symptoms of mental health in adolescents. Adolescents completed personal UFP monitoring for one week as well as a series of validated Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) assessments to measure five domains of mental and physical stress symptoms. Multivariable linear regression models were used to estimate the association between PROMIS domain T-scores and median weekly personal UFP exposure with the inclusion of interactions to explore sex differences. We observed that median weekly UFP exposure was significantly associated with physical stress symptoms (β: 5.92 per 10-fold increase in UFPs, 95% CI [0.72, 11.13]) but no other measured domains. Further, we did not find effect modification by sex on any of the PROMIS outcomes. The results of this study indicate UFPs are associated with physical symptoms of stress response among adolescents, potentially contributing to mental health disorders in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric behavioral health needs skyrocketed during the COVID-19-pandemic. Parents and caregivers lacked access to well-established tools to identify risk and protective factors while also experiencing decreased access to treatment options to meet their families' behavioral health needs. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of known pediatric behavioral health risk factors and parents' reports of workplace productivity. METHODS A clinical research team at Brightline-a virtual, pediatric behavioral health solution-drew on standardized instruments to create a survey designed to understand pediatric behavioral health conditions, child stress, and family resilience and connection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multivariable linear regression was used to characterize the relationship between these variables and parents' reports of workplace productivity. RESULTS Participants (n=361) completed the survey between October 2020 and November 2021. In the multivariable model, higher pediatric stress and time spent managing children's behavioral health needs were associated with greater productivity loss among working parents, whereas higher family connection was associated with lower productivity loss. COVID-19 diagnoses among parents and dependents, financial impact of COVID-19 on households, and family resilience were not associated with parents' workplace productivity. CONCLUSIONS This survey captured child stress, family connection, and productivity as reported by parents and caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exploratory studies are the first-step in understanding the relationship between these variables. Results from this study can empower parents by providing insights to help manage their child's behavioral health concerns and identify pediatric behavioral health services to aid working parents who are caregivers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased stress, anxiety, and depression in children. A six-session, parent-led, transdiagnostic, cognitive-behavioral teletherapy program was adapted from an established protocol to help youth aged between 5 and 13 years manage emotional problems during the pandemic. METHODS One-hundred twenty-nine parents of youth struggling with emotional problems during the COVID-19 pandemic participated in the program. Parents reported on their children's psychosocial functioning before and after treatment using validated assessments. They also reported on treatment satisfaction. Clinician-rated global improvement was assessed at each session to determine clinically significant treatment response. RESULTS Significant improvements in parent proxy-reported anxiety (d = 0.56), depression (d = 0.69), stress (d = 0.61), anger (d = 0.69), family relationships (d = 0.32), and COVID-19-related distress (d = 1.08) were found, with 62% of participants who completed the program being classified as treatment responders. Parents reported high levels of satisfaction with the program. LIMITATIONS This study was limited by use of primarily parent-report assessments and a lack of a control group. CONCLUSIONS Brief, parent-led, transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral teletherapy appeared to be an effective way to help youth cope with the pandemic and may be a scalable framework in response to large-scale mental health crises.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The variability in individual symptom and adverse event reporting between pediatric patient-reports and proxy-reports is widely reported. However, the question of whether symptom profiles based on reports from children with cancer and their caregivers are similar or disparate have not yet been studied. OBJECTIVE To compare proxy symptom reports with patient self-reports to assess alignment. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A multicenter cohort study was conducted from October 2016 to December 2018 from data collected at 9 pediatric cancer centers. Participants were a convenience sample of family caregivers or proxies of children aged 7 to 18 years who had received disease-directed oncology treatment in the form of chemotherapy for at least 1 month. Data were analyzed identifying clusters of individuals (ie, latent profiles) based on various responses (ie, indicators) in August 2021. EXPOSURES The children of proxy participants received upfront chemotherapy. Children and proxies completed Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) surveys at 2 time points: within 72 hours preceding treatment initiation and following the course of chemotherapy. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The latent profile analysis methods were applied to caregiver-proxy reports of PROMIS Pediatric symptom and function measures (anxiety, depressive symptoms, pain interference, fatigue, psychological stress, and physical function-mobility). The instrument categorized respondents as high symptom suffering, medium symptom suffering, and low symptom suffering (hereafter, high, medium, and low symptom groups, respectively). RESULTS Of 580 approached proxies, 431 (368 [85.00%] were female) identified as legal guardians of children aged 7 to 18 years with a first cancer diagnosis (mean [SD] age, 13.03 [3.40] years; 235 [54.65%] were male). Proxy reports of children's experiences based on the 5 proxy PROMIS measures comprised 3 distinct symptom profiles. The most common proxy assessments of children's experiences were the moderate symptom groups (45.7% [197 of 431]) and the low symptom groups profiles (40.1% [173 of 431]). A high symptom groups profile emerged which represented 14.2% (61 of 431) of proxy assessments. The number of profiles and observed distribution of profile membership was similar between child and proxy reports. Proxy reports of individual symptoms generally recorded higher scores than child reports; however, no significant difference was observed between proxies and child profile model results for the PROMIS measures. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Results of this cohort study suggest that, at the level of symptom severity profile, proxy caregiver reports may approximate the children's reports and may serve as a guide to care when the child is not able to self-report.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pediatric Domain scores can be accurately and reliably predicted from legacy patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for use in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Previous efforts have been made to develop translational models between PROMIS domains and legacy PROMs in adult spinal deformity, but translational models for pediatric and adolescent patients with spinal deformity have not yet been developed. METHODS Scores were retrospectively collected on pediatric patients 8-17 years old who were diagnosed with spinal asymmetry or scoliosis for the following PROMs: Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22r), Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS), Hospital for Special Surgery Functional Activity Brief Scale (HSS Pedi-FABS), and PROMIS Pediatric Domains: Pain Interference, Mobility, Physical Stress Experiences, Psychological Stress Experiences, and Physical Activity. Pearson correlations were calculated between legacy and PROMIS scores. In the derivation cohort, PROMIS domains were modeled from SRS-22r or HSS Pedi-FABS using linear regression. These equations were used to predict PROMIS scores in the test cohort to determine the reliability of the translation model. RESULTS A total of 1171 patients (68% female) with a mean age of 13.4 ± 2.3 years were included in the final analyses. PROMIS Pain Interference was dependent on SRS-22r domains Pain, Function, Mental Health, and Management Satisfaction, PROMIS Mobility was dependent on SRS-22r Pain, Function, Mental Health, and Self-Image, PROMIS Physical Stress Experiences and Psychological Stress Experiences were dependent on SRS-22r Pain, Mental Health, and Management Satisfaction, and PROMIS Physical Activity was dependent on HSS Pedi-FABS. (P < 0.05 for all). In the test cohort, all developed models for PROMIS domains demonstrated strong correlations between estimated and actual scores (r = 0.63-0.75). CONCLUSION All of the evaluated PROMIS domains (Pain Interference, Mobility, Physical Stress Experiences, Psychological Stress Experiences, Physical Activity) were reliably translated directly from these legacy scores for pediatric and adolescent patients with spinal deformity.Level of Evidence: 3.

Abstract
In this prospective longitudinal study, we enrolled 54 healthy pediatric controls and 28 functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) pediatric patients (mean age was 11 ± 2.58 years old). Fecal samples and symptom questionnaires were obtained from all participants over the course of the year. Clinical data assessment showed that FAPDs patients were more symptomatic than the control group. Microbiome analysis revealed that Phylum Bacteroidetes was higher in FAPDs compared to the control group (p < 0.05), while phylum Firmicutes was lower in FAPDs (p < 0.05). In addition, Verrucomicrobiota was higher in the control group than the FAPDs (p < 0.05). At the genus level the relative abundance of 72 bacterial taxa showed statistically significant differences between the two groups and at the school term levels. In the control group, Shannon diversity, Observed_species, and Simpson were higher than the FAPDs (p < 0.05), and beta diversity showed differences between the two groups (PERMANOVA = 2.38; p = 0.002) as well. Using linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe), Enterobacteriaceae family and Megaspherae showed increased abundances in vacation term (LDA score > 2.0, LEfSe, p < 0.05). In the FAPDs group, the severity of symptoms (T-scores) correlated with 11 different taxa bacterial relative abundances using Pearson's correlation and linear regression analyses. Our data showed that gut microbiome is altered in FAPDs compared to the control. Differences in other metrics such as alpha- and beta diversity were also reported between the two groups. Correlation of the severity of the disease (T-scores) correlated with gut microbiome. Finally, our findings support the use of Faecalibacterium/Bacteroides ratio as a potential diagnostic biomarker for FAPDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) through interviews or conversations during clinical encounters provides insightful information about survivorship. OBJECTIVE This study aims to test the validity of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) algorithms in identifying different attributes of pain interference and fatigue symptoms experienced by child and adolescent survivors of cancer versus the judgment by PRO content experts as the gold standard to validate NLP/ML algorithms. METHODS This cross-sectional study focused on child and adolescent survivors of cancer, aged 8 to 17 years, and caregivers, from whom 391 meaning units in the pain interference domain and 423 in the fatigue domain were generated for analyses. Data were collected from the After Completion of Therapy Clinic at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Experienced pain interference and fatigue symptoms were reported through in-depth interviews. After verbatim transcription, analyzable sentences (ie, meaning units) were semantically labeled by 2 content experts for each attribute (physical, cognitive, social, or unclassified). Two NLP/ML methods were used to extract and validate the semantic features: bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) and Word2vec plus one of the ML methods, the support vector machine or extreme gradient boosting. Receiver operating characteristic and precision-recall curves were used to evaluate the accuracy and validity of the NLP/ML methods. RESULTS Compared with Word2vec/support vector machine and Word2vec/extreme gradient boosting, BERT demonstrated higher accuracy in both symptom domains, with 0.931 (95% CI 0.905-0.957) and 0.916 (95% CI 0.887-0.941) for problems with cognitive and social attributes on pain interference, respectively, and 0.929 (95% CI 0.903-0.953) and 0.917 (95% CI 0.891-0.943) for problems with cognitive and social attributes on fatigue, respectively. In addition, BERT yielded superior areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for cognitive attributes on pain interference and fatigue domains (0.923, 95% CI 0.879-0.997; 0.948, 95% CI 0.922-0.979) and superior areas under the precision-recall curve for cognitive attributes on pain interference and fatigue domains (0.818, 95% CI 0.735-0.917; 0.855, 95% CI 0.791-0.930). CONCLUSIONS The BERT method performed better than the other methods. As an alternative to using standard PRO surveys, collecting unstructured PROs via interviews or conversations during clinical encounters and applying NLP/ML methods can facilitate PRO assessment in child and adolescent cancer survivors.

Abstract
Modern, reliable, and valid outcome measures are essential to understanding the health needs of young children with burn injuries. Burn-specific and age-appropriate legacy assessment tools exist for this population but are hindered by the limitations of existing paper-based instruments. The purpose of this study was to develop item pools comprised of questions appropriate for children aged 1-5 with burn injuries. Item development was based on a framework provided by previous work to develop the Preschool Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) Conceptual Model. The Preschool LIBRE Conceptual Model work established four sub-domains of functioning for children with burns aged 1-5. Item development involved a systematic literature review, a qualitative item review process with clinical experts, and parent cognitive interviews. Four item pools were established: (1) communication and language development; (2) physical functioning; (3) psychological functioning and (4) social functioning for preschool-aged children with burn injuries. We selected and refined candidate items, recall periods, survey instructions, and response option choices through clinical and parental feedback during the qualitative review and cognitive interview processes. Item pools are currently being field-tested as part of the process to calibrate and validate the Preschool1-5 LIBRE Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) Profile.

Psychometric properties of the patient-reported outcomes measurement information system scale v1.2: global health (PROMIS-GH) in a Dutch general population. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2021; 19:226. [PMID: 34579721 PMCID: PMC8477486 DOI: 10.1186/s12955-021-01855-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose To assess the psychometric properties of the Dutch-Flemish Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Scale v1.2 – Global Health (PROMIS-GH). Methods The PROMIS-GH (also referred to as PROMIS-10) was administered to 4370 persons from the Dutch general population. Unidimensionality (CFI ≥ 0.95; TLI ≥ 0.95; RMSEA ≤ 0.06; SRMR ≤ 0.08), local independence (residual correlations < 0.20), monotonicity (H > 0.30), model fit with the Graded Response Model (GRM, p < 0.001), internal consistency (alpha > 0.75), precision (total score information across the latent trait), measurement invariance (no Differential Item Functioning [DIF]), and cross-cultural validity (no DIF for language, Dutch vs. United States English) of its subscales, composed of four items each, Global Mental Health (GMH) and Global Physical Health (GPH), were assessed. Results Confirmatory factor analyses, on both subscales, revealed slight departures from unidimensionality for GMH (CFI = 0.98; TLI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.22; SRMR = 0.04) and GPH (CFI = 0.99; TLI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.12; SRMR = 0.03). Local independence, monotonicity, GRM model fit, internal consistency, precision and cross-cultural validity were supported. However, Global10 (emotional problems) showed misfit on the GMH subscale, while Global08 (fatigue) presented DIF for age. Conclusion The psychometric properties of the PROMIS-GH in the Dutch population were considered acceptable. Sufficient local independence, monotonicity, GRM fit, internal consistency, measurement invariance and cross-cultural validity were found. If future studies find similar results, structural validity of the GMH could be enhanced by improving or replacing Global10 (emotional problems).

JMIR Ment Health 2021; 8:e26029. [PMID: 34524103 PMCID: PMC8482167 DOI: 10.2196/26029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Revised: 03/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Between 15% and 70% of adolescents report experiencing cybervictimization. Cybervictimization is associated with multiple negative consequences, including depressed mood. Few validated, easily disseminated interventions exist to prevent cybervictimization and its consequences. With over 97% of adolescents using social media (such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat), recruiting and delivering a prevention intervention through social media and apps may improve accessibility of prevention tools for at-risk youth. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of and obtain preliminary outcome data on IMPACT (Intervention Media to Prevent Adolescent Cyber-Conflict Through Technology), a brief, remote app-based intervention to prevent and reduce the effect of cyberbullying. METHODS From January 30, 2020, to May 3, 2020, a national sample of 80 adolescents with a history of past-year cybervictimization was recruited through Instagram for a randomized control trial of IMPACT, a brief, remote research assistant-led intervention and a fully automated app-based program, versus enhanced web-based resources (control). Feasibility and acceptability were measured by consent, daily use, and validated surveys. Although not powered for efficacy, outcomes (victimization, bystander self-efficacy, and well-being) were measured using validated measures at 8 and 16 weeks and evaluated using a series of longitudinal mixed models. RESULTS Regarding feasibility, 24.5% (121/494) of eligible participants provided contact information; of these, 69.4% (84/121) completed full enrollment procedures. Of the participants enrolled, 45% (36/80) were randomized into the IMPACT intervention and 55% (44/80) into the enhanced web-based resources groups. All participants randomized to the intervention condition completed the remote intervention session, and 89% (77/80) of the daily prompts were answered. The retention rate was 99% (79/80) at 8 weeks and 96% (77/80) at 16 weeks for all participants. Regarding acceptability, 100% (36/36) of the intervention participants were at least moderately satisfied with IMPACT overall, and 92% (33/36) of the participants were at least moderately satisfied with the app. At both 8 and 16 weeks, well-being was significantly higher (β=1.17, SE 0.87, P=.02 at 8 weeks and β=3.24, SE 0.95, P<.001 at 16 weeks) and psychological stress was lower (β=-.66, SE 0.08, P=.04 at 8 weeks and β=-.89, SE 0.09, P<.001 at 16 weeks) among IMPACT users than among control group users. Participants in the intervention group attempted significantly more bystander interventions than those in the control group at 8 weeks (β=.82, SE 0.42; P=.02). CONCLUSIONS This remote app-based intervention for victims of cyberbullying was feasible and acceptable, increased overall well-being and bystander interventions, and decreased psychological stress. Our findings are especially noteworthy given that the trial took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of Instagram to recruit adolescents can be a successful strategy for identifying and intervening with those at the highest risk of cybervictimization.

From One Pain to Many: The Emergence of Overlapping Pains in Children and Adolescents. Clin J Pain 2021; 37:404-412. [PMID: 33859112 DOI: 10.1097/ajp.0000000000000939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to compare children and adolescents with overlapping chronic pains (OCP) to those with single chronic pains (SCP) among youth presenting in specialized clinical settings, in an effort to identify potential risk factors for developing overlapping pains. METHODS A total of 1235 youth ages 8 to 18 seen in a tertiary care multidisciplinary pain clinic or a multidisciplinary headache clinic completed self-report measures of pain, disability, psychological functioning and clinical history and characteristics at the time of initial clinic visit. Information was captured in a chronic pain data repository and accessed for the current study. RESULTS Subsequent pain symptoms developed on average 11.9 months (SD=24.5 mo) after onset of the first pain symptom. Compared with patients with SCP, patients with OCP report more medical comorbidity, more developmental issues, and poorer current sleep and school functioning. They also scored significantly higher than patients with SCP on self-reported functional disability, pain catastrophizing, fear of pain, depression, anxiety, and psychological stress and lower quality of life (all Ps<0.001). In multivariate analysis, variables most strongly associated with presenting with OCP were age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.1, P<0.001), having a clinically significant high functional disability (OR: 1.4, P=0.3), and low quality of life (OR: 2.5, P<0.001). DISCUSSION Given their tendency toward more psychological and medical comorbidities, patients with OCP may require more intense and diverse treatment approaches. Some early life experiences may be a risk factor for development of OCP. Longitudinal studies are needed to fully evaluate the heightened risk for OCP associated with some of these factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Describe anxiety and depressive symptoms in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) using Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures and evaluate potential correlations with disease manifestations. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of children with JIA and a parent-proxy who completed PROMIS measures on depression, anxiety, stress, and pain. The Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) measured mobility, and the clinical juvenile arthritis disease activity score (cJADAS10) measured disease activity. RESULTS 84 patients completed the study. Demographic median values included: age 14 years, disease duration 4.73 years, CHAQ score 0, total active joint count 0, and cJADAS10 score 2. Using cJADAS10, 57 patients (68%) had inactive or low disease activity. Mean PROMIS T-scores for depressive and anxiety symptoms were lower in children with JIA compared to the reference population (p<0.0001). Nineteen patients (23%) had moderate to severe symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. Age and CHAQ score (mobility) correlated with depressive symptoms (r=0.36, p=0.0008; r=0.32, p=0.0029, respectively) but not anxiety. Depressive and anxiety symptoms correlated with pain (r=0.64 and r=0.47 respectively; p<0.0001) and stress (r=0.79 and r=0.75 respectively; p<0.0001) but not with gender, JIA subtype, disease duration, or disease activity. CONCLUSION Approximately one-quarter of children with JIA reported moderate to severe symptoms of anxiety and depression. These symptoms are associated with pain and stress, but they are not associated with other disease manifestations. Understanding how mental health symptoms and JIA impact one another is necessary in order to improve patient outcomes and provide well-rounded care.

Abstract
Pediatric burn injuries can alter the trajectory of the survivor's entire life. Patient-centered outcome measures are helpful to assess unique physical and psychosocial needs and long-term recovery. This study aimed to develop a conceptual framework to measure pediatric burn outcomes in survivors aged 5 to 12 years as a part of the School-Aged Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation Computer Adaptive Test (SA-LIBRE5-12 CAT) development. This study conducted a systematic literature review guided by the WHO International Classification of Functioning - Child and Youth and domains in the American Burn Association/Shriners Hospitals for Children Burn Outcomes Questionnaire5-18. Interviews with eight parents and seven clinicians were conducted to identify important domains in child recovery. One clinician focus group with four clinicians was completed to identify gaps in the preliminary framework, and semi-weekly expert consensus meetings were conducted with three experts to solidify the framework. Qualitative data were analyzed by grounded theory methodology. Three major thematic outcome domains emerged: 1) Physical Functioning: fine motor and upper extremity, gross motor and lower extremity, pain, skin symptoms, sleep and fatigue, and physical resilience; 2) Psychological Functioning: cognitive, behavioral, emotional, resilience, and body image; and 3) Family and Social Functioning: family relationships, and parental satisfaction, school, peer relations and community participation. The framework will be used to develop item banks for a CAT-based assessment of school-aged children's health and developmental outcomes, which will be designed for clinical and research use to optimize interventions, personalize care, and improve long-term health outcomes for burned children.

Abstract
Investigations evaluating the effectiveness of music-based interventions as a complementary approach to symptom management and health promotion for cognitively-impaired children with life-limiting conditions and their families are needed to minimize the physical and psychological burdens on individuals and their caregivers. Songwriting is one music-based strategy for a remote family-centered complementary approach to improve outcomes for cognitively-impaired children with life-limiting conditions, their parents, and families. The overall purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a songwriting intervention for cognitively-impaired children (ages 5-17 years) who are receiving palliative or complex care and their parents. Specific aims are to: (1) determine the feasibility of songwriting for cognitively-impaired children with life-limiting conditions and their parents, and (2) examine preliminary efficacy of songwriting for child psychological distress and physical symptoms, parent psychological distress, and family environment. The protocol for this 1-group pre-and post-intervention clinical trial (N = 25) is described.
