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.
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.
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.
