Treatment response prediction of rehabilitation program in children with cerebral palsy using radiomics strategy: protocol for a multicenter prospective cohort study in west China.

ABSTRACT: Background:Cerebral palsy (CP) is a major cause of chronic childhood disability worldwide, causing activity limitation as well as impairments in sensation, cognition, and communication. Leveraging biomarkers to establish individualized predictions of future treatment responses will be of great value. We aim to develop and validate a model that can be used to predict the individualized treatment response in Children with CP. Methods:A multicenter prospective cohort study will be conducted in 4 hospitals in west China. One hundred and thirty children with CP will be recruited and undergo clinical assessment using the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), Hand Assessment for Infants (HAI), Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). The data collected will include MRI image, clinical status, and socioeconomic status. The clinical information and MRI features extracted using radiomics strategy will be combined for exploratory analysis. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the model will be assessed using multiple modeling methodologies. Internal and external validation will be used to evaluate the performance of the radiomics model. Discussion:We hypothesized that the findings from this study could provide a critical step towards the prediction of treatment response in children with CP, which could also complement other biomarkers in the development of precision medicine approaches for this severe disorder. Trial registration:The study was registered with clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02979743).

Project description:ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the rehabilitation status and factors associated with rehabilitation service utilisation among children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Bangladesh.Materials and methodsThis is a population-based surveillance study conducted among children with CP registered in the Bangladesh CP Register (BCPR), the first population-based register of children with CP aged <18 years (y) in Bangladesh. Children with CP were identified from the community using the key informant method and underwent a detailed neurodevelopmental assessment. Socio-demographic, clinical and rehabilitation status were documented. Unadjusted and adjusted analyses with a 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to identify potential predictors of rehabilitation service uptake.ResultsBetween January 2015 and December 2019, 2852 children with CP were registered in the BCPR (mean (standard deviation, SD) age: 7 y 8 months (mo) (4 y 7 mo), 38.5% female). Of these, 50.2% had received rehabilitation services; physiotherapy was the most common type of service (90.0%). The mean (SD) age at commencement of rehabilitation services was 3 y 10 mo (3 y 1 mo). The odds of not receiving rehabilitation was significantly higher among female children (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.3 [95% CI: 1.0-1.7], children whose mothers were illiterate and primary level completed (aOR 2.1 [95% CI: 1.4-3.1] and aOR 1.5 [95% CI: 1.1-2.1], respectively), fathers were illiterate (aOR 1.9 [95% CI: 1.3-2.8]), had a monthly family income ~US$ 59-118 (aOR: 1.8 [95% CI: 1.2-2.6]), had hearing impairment (aOR: 2.3 [95% CI: 1.5-3.5]) and motor severity (i.e. Gross Motor Function Classification System level III (aOR: 0.6 [95% CI: 0.3-0.9]) and level V (aOR: 0.4 [95% CI: 0.2-0.7])).ConclusionsRehabilitation status was poor among the majority of the children with CP in the BCPR cohort, limiting their opportunities for functional improvement. A community-based rehabilitation model focusing on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics should be a public health priority in Bangladesh.

Project description:Factors promoting family adaptation to child's disability are poorly studied together. The aim of the study was to describe the family adaptation to disability and to identify determinants associated with using a global theoretical model.286 families of teenagers [13-17 years] with cerebral palsy (CP) from 4 European disability registers were included and visited at home. Face to face interviews were performed in order to measure parental distress, perceived impact in various dimensions of family life, family resources and stressors. Relationships were modelled with structural equations.31.8% of parents living with an adolescent with CP showed clinically significant high stress requiring professional assistance. The main stressors were the level of motor impairment and behavioural disorders in adolescent. A good family functioning was the best protective factor. Respite in care and a parents' positive attitude were significantly related to less parental distress. Material support, socioeconomical level, marital status or parental qualifications did not appear to be significant protector factors.Particular attention must be paid not only on physical condition but also on adolescent psychological problems to improve family adaptation. Families at risk of experiencing severe distress should be targeted early and proactive caregiver interventions on the whole family should be performed.Family is a dynamic system: facing disability, it tries to recover its balance with available resources and its perception of the situation. Literature highlights potential stressors and protecting factors that could affect the disabled child's family adaptation but few papers study a global model including most of these factors. This study validated a global theoretical model of family adaptation to disability at adolescence. It identified behaviour disorders and motor impairment level as main stressors, family functioning as the largest protecting factors, and equipment and financial support as non significant protective factors.

Project description:Background Recent research indicates that intensive rehabilitation tends to be effective for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Intensive Neurophysiological Rehabilitation System (INRS) is a multi-component approach that combines various interventions and addresses different functional goals.. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the INRS treatment in children with bilateral CP. Methods In this quasi-randomized controlled study, 48 children with spastic bilateral CP (age 5–12 years, GMFCS Levels I-IV, MACS Levels I-IV) were assigned to an experimental or control group in order they have been enrolled. The experimental group underwent INRS treatment in the tertiary care facility for about four hours daily for ten days and continued routine home treatment for four weeks. After the first evaluation, participants from the control group stayed on the waiting list for four weeks receiving home treatment and then starting the INRS treatment. Thereby, all participants were assessed three times. The primary outcome measure was a Gross Motor Function Measure 66 Item Set (GMFM). The secondary outcome measures included the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function test, Box and Blocks test, ABILHAND-Kids Questionnaire, Self-care and Mobility domain of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, and the ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion. Results There was a statistically significant increase in the GMFM score after the INRS treatment in both the experimental group (mean difference (MD) 2.0, P < 0.01) and control group (MD 1.5, P < 0.05), with a large size effect (partial eta squared (η2) = 0.21 and η2 = 0.14). The mean difference between groups during the first study period was 2.89 points (p < 0.01) in the GMFM score with a medium effect size (η2 = 0.12). Statistically significant superiority of the INRS treatment over home treatment was also obtained by Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test and the Box and Blocks Test in both dominant and non-dominant hands. Conclusions The study indicates that the INRS treatment can be beneficial for improving both gross motor functions and hand function in children with bilateral CP. Further longitudinal studies are required to evaluate the effects of the INRS treatment on the participation level of children with CP. Trial registration The study protocol was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov under the identifier: NCT04093180 on 17/09/2019.
