Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Proportion of Participants Who Received Acute Rehabilitation

  Prevalence is defined as the proportion of eligible children in the pediatric intensive care unit who received at least one session of physical therapy or occupational therapy within the 24 hours preceding each study assessment point.

  At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

• Proportion of sessions Involving Assistive Devices

  At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

• Number of Sessions by Delivery Method

  At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

• Odds Ratios for Factors Associated With Absence of Acute Rehabilitation

  At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

Study Arms (1)

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 0 Days - 18 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population includes critically ill children and adolescents aged 18 years or younger who are admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) at participating hospitals in South Korea. Patients who have been hospitalized in the PICU for at least 72 hours as of 9:00 AM on predefined study dates will be included. All eligible patients at each study time point will be included to reflect real-world clinical practice in pediatric critical care.

You may qualify if:

• Children and adolescents aged 18 years or younger who have been admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for at least 72 hours as of 9:00 AM on the predefined study date at participating hospitals.
