[PMID: 38817122 DOI: 10.1080/09297049.2024.2361123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to determine some of the factors that influence performance on a comprehensive test of verbal and visual memory in children, the Child and Adolescent Memory Profile (ChAMP) in a mixed clinical sample (n = 178; 56% male, 67% White, median age 12 years). We used hierarchical linear regression analyses with ChAMP standard scores as the dependent variable, and parental education as well as Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V) factor index scores as the independent variables. WISC-V Processing Speed and (to a lesser extent) Working Memory were statistically significant predictors of most ChAMP Index scores. In addition, WISC-V Verbal Comprehension contributed to the model for ChAMP Verbal Memory, and WISC-V Visual Spatial to the model for ChAMP Visual Memory. In each case better performance on the WISC-V was predictive of higher scores on the ChAMP, with large effect sizes. WISC-V variables also mediated the positive effect of parental education on ChAMP scores. We conclude that clinicians should consider performance on measures of speed of processing, working memory, language and visual-spatial skills as potential influences on ChAMP results that may suggest a specific memory deficit.

Sorrentino G, Bayen E, Câmara-Costa H, Francillette L, Toure H, Laurent-Vannier A, Meyer P, Dellatolas G, Chevignard M. Long-term burden of informal caregiver 7-years after severe childhood traumatic brain injury in the traumatisme grave de l'Enfant (TGE) study. Brain Inj 2024; 38:467-478. [PMID: 38379310 DOI: 10.1080/02699052.2024.2318588] [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: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate reported burden by the Primary Family Caregiver (PFC) 7-years after severe pediatric traumatic brain injury in the TGE (Traumatisme Grave de l'Enfant) longitudinal study. METHODS Subjective burden was estimated with the Zarit Burden Inventory (ZBI) in 36 PFC (parents), who rated their own health status (Medical Outcome Study Short Form-12), family functioning and their child's level of care and needs (Pediatric/Adult Care And Needs Scale [PCANS/CANS]). Data collection included: child and PFC sociodemographic characteristics, injury-related factors, 'objective' (e.g. overall level of disability: Glasgow Outcome Scale - Extended, GOS-E/GOS-E-Peds) and 'subjective' outcomes (e.g. participation, behavior, executive functions, quality of life and fatigue). RESULTS 25% of PFC reported mild-moderate burden, and 19% moderate-severe burden. Higher burden correlated with worse outcomes in all 'subjective' PFC-rated outcomes, and with self-reported participation. The ZBI correlated strongly with CANS/PCANS and GOS-E/GOS-E-Peds. Overall level of disability and PFC-reported executive functioning explained 62% of the ZBI variance. For equal levels of disability, burden was higher when PFC reported a 'negative' picture of their child. CONCLUSION Significant PFC-reported burden 7-years post-injury was associated with overall disability and 'subjective' PFC-rated outcomes. Factors influencing parental burden in the long term should be identified and psychological support implemented over time.

Parental report of levels of care and needs 7-years after severe childhood traumatic brain injury: Results of the traumatisme grave de l'Enfant (TGE) cohort study. APPLIED NEUROPSYCHOLOGY.

Abstract
This study investigated parental reports of the level of care and needs 7-years following severe childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI), and the factors associated with this outcome. From the 65 children (0-15 years) consecutively admitted to the Parisian regional TBI reference intensive care unit following severe TBI, included in this prospective longitudinal study, 39 patients [M(SD) age at injury = 7.5 years (4.6) and assessment 15.3(4.4)] were followed 7-years post-injury and matched with a control group composed of typically developing participants (n = 34) matched by age, sex and parental education level. We used the Care and Need Scale (CANS) and its Pediatric version (PCANS) to assess the primary outcome 7-years post-injury. Concurrent measures included overall level of disability, and parent- and/or self-reported questionnaires assessing executive functioning, behavior, quality of life, fatigue, participation and caregivers' burden. The level of care and needs was significantly higher in the TBI group than in the control group, the difference being significant with the CANS only. PCANS scores were extremely variable in the control group. High level of dependency was associated with initial TBI severity (higher coma duration and initial Injury Severity Score), higher levels of behavioral problems, executive function deficits, fatigue, and lower participation levels. Caregivers' burden was strongly associated with the CANS. The CANS provides a simple and reliable measure of the support needed long-term after childhood TBI, in accordance with previous studies. The PCANS scores were not significantly different between the TBI and the control groups, which seems to illustrate the difficulty to assess accurately mild-to-moderate deficits of functional independence/adaptive behavior in children based exclusively on parental reports.
