Psychometric properties of patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) fixed short forms in Juvenile Myositis.

Objectives: Assess reliability and validity of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pediatric self-report and parent-proxy report fixed short forms in juvenile myositis (JM).

Methods: Children with JM (8-17yo) and parents of 5-17 yo JM patients completed PROMIS measures (Physical Function, Pain Interference, Fatigue, Emotional Distress), PedsQL Generic Core scales and Rheumatology Module (PedsQL-GC/-RM). Internal consistency reliability was assessed via Cronbach's alpha.

The relationship between patient-specific factors and functional progression of COVID-19 survivors admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facility.

Background: Survivors of hospitalization for severe acute COVID-19 infection faced significant functional impairments necessitating discharge to inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) for intensive rehabilitation prior to discharge home. There remains a lack of large cohort studies of the functional outcomes of patients admitted to IRFs with COVID-19-related impairments and the relationship to patient-specific factors.

Objective: To characterize functional outcomes of patients admitted to IRFs for COVID-19-related debility and to investigate associations between functional outcomes and patient-specific factors.

Functional improvements of patients admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facility after bilateral lung transplant due to severe COVID-19 pulmonary disease.

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has introduced a new subset of patients with acute end-stage lung damage for which lung transplantation has been successfully performed.

Objective: To describe the inpatient rehabilitation course of patients who underwent bilateral lung transplant due to severe COVID-19 pulmonary disease.

Design: Retrospective chart review.
