Article Synopsis
- A study assessed neurocognitive, psychosocial, and quality of life outcomes in children with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) 3-6 months after their admission to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in the Netherlands.
- Of the 69 children with MIS-C, many showed normal general intelligence but exhibited significant deficits in visual memory, attention, and planning, as well as increased emotional and behavioral issues compared to pre-COVID population norms.
- The findings indicate that while children with MIS-C have normal intelligence post-hospitalization, they are at risk for various cognitive and emotional challenges, including a notable prevalence of symptoms related to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Background: Parents of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience high levels of stress in the daily management of their child's illness. Parents need continuously available support and information, yet online support programs are lacking. e-Powered Parents was developed to fill this gap; it is an online program consisting of (1) medical information, (2) an interactive part, and (3) four training modules (stress management, setting limits, communication, and coping).
