Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congenital Heart Disease and Neurodevelopment: Understanding and Improving Outcomes brings together the work of leading researchers from the U.K., Europe, and the U.S. to provide a comprehensive examination of the causes, risks, and neurodevelopmental and psychological outcomes in children with congenital heart disease. The book includes longitudinal studies which have tracked outcomes from birth through late childhood and explores the emergent phenotype and etiologies, risk, and protective factors that strengthen proposed models. Medical and surgical advances have meant that greater numbers of children with even the most severe congenital heart disease (CHD) now survive well into adulthood. Studies over the past 20 years have suggested certain neurodevelopmental and psychological features are common, with clinical interventions being internationally articulated. The U.K. Belfast Center has developed and evaluated unique early intervention programs to circumvent the common problems discerned and promote optimal adjustment and outcomes. The first edition of Congenital Heart Disease and Neurodevelopment: Understanding and Improving Outcomes describes these programs in detail and outlines promising results obtained by researchers worldwide. Such interventions, together with the U.S. consensus statement (Circulation, 2012) on neurodevelopmental screening, hold great promise for clinical interventions. Features input from leading research experts in the field Describes cutting-edge research on longitudinal studies that link neurodevelopmental phenotypes with cutting-edge neuroimaging studies Discusses the first series of early intervention studies developed in Belfast targeted at key developmental transitions—birth and diagnosis, early childhood, and adolescence Includes clinical implications and action points in each section Features generalizable potential of interventions across other pediatric populations

Download or read book AN URBAN BIOETHICS APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING DISPARITIES IN NEURODEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE written by Colette Gramszlo and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect and often resultsin neurodevelopmental impairments and psychological problems which impede educational and occupational attainment and decrease overall quality of life into adulthood. While morbidity and mortality outcomes have improved over the last several decades, non-Hispanic black and Hispanic children continue to experience a disproportionate burden of CHD. An urban bioethics approach to disparities in cardiac neurodevelopmental outcomes necessitates an examination of the context, setting, and structures in which CHD care is delivered. This thesis proposes a model through which access to and quality of cardiac care impact disparities in neurodevelopmental outcomes. The thesis describes an initial evaluation of the proposed model conducted through retrospective record review. Though research funding and hospital resources have historically flowed toward optimizing surgical and other clinical care techniques, results indicate that factors such as poverty and other social determinants of health have a greater impact on many CHD outcomes. An urban bioethics framework asks us to additionally consider the ways in which cardiac care teams act as barriers to high quality care. Findings are discussed in terms of next steps and a proposed qualitative study to further evaluate results.

Download or read book Cerebrovascular Autoregulation in Preoperative Neonates with Congenital Heart Disease Compared to Healthy Controls written by Nhu Nguyen Tran and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the leading birth defects in the United States, encompassing approximately 40,000 neonates (newborns) annually (American Heart Association, 2015; Reller, Strickland, Riehle-Colarusso, Mahle, & Correa, 2008). Advances in surgical technique and postoperative management result in approximately 1.3 million adults who are CHD survivors (American Heart Association, 2016). Despite efforts aimed at prevention and early detection of developmental delays in infants and children, many with CHD will have neurologic deficits lasting into adulthood, influencing employability, self-care, and quality of life (Pike et al., 2007; von Rhein et al., 2014). Large multicenter studies have ruled out surgical factors as independent predictors for these developmental delays leading to examination of factors more intrinsic to the neonate as the cause for poor outcomes (Gaynor et al., 2015; Newburger et al., 2012). A hypothesis not extensively examined is whether impaired Cerebrovascular Autoregulation (CA), is responsible for poorer neurodevelopmental outcomes in preoperative neonates with CHD (Paulson, Strandgaard, & Edvinsson, 1990). Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess CA in neonates with and without CHD, and to evaluate the association of CA with neurodevelopmental outcomes. The specific aims of this study were to: 1) Compare CA between 28 preoperative neonates with CHD and 16 age- and gender-matched healthy neonates at less than 12 days of age; 2) Examine associations between impaired CA and abnormalities in motor, auditory, and visual functions when controlling for preoperative neonates with and without CHD; and 3) Exploratory Aim: Determine associations of clinical factors such as: a) 1 minute Apgar scores, b) cord pH, c) head circumference, and d) birth weight to impaired CA. Methods: This study was a prospective, cross- sectional, 2-group case control design. We enrolled 44 neonates (28 with CHD and 16 healthy controls). Inclusion/exclusion criteria were chosen to decrease variability in CA. CA was determined using regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) with the INVOS Somanetics Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) 5100C (Troy, MI) device and a postural change. The Einstein Neonatal Neurobehavioral Assessment Scale (ENNAS) measured neurodevelopmental outcomes. Results: The 2 test revealed no significant difference in impaired CA between CHD and control groups (p =.38). Multiple linear regressions showed CHD neonates significantly associated with poorer total neurodevelopmental scores ( =9.30, p =.02) and motor scores ( = 7.6, p = .04) when controlling for CA status. Independent t-tests demonstrated baseline and sitting rSO2 were significantly lower in the CHD neonates (p

Download or read book The Infant Motor Profile written by Mijna Hadders-Algra and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Infant Motor Profile is a practical manual on a new, evidence-based method to assess infant motor behaviour. Not only looking at what milestones the infant has reached, but also paying attention to the quality of motor behaviour – how the infant moves – this text provides professionals involved in the care of infants at risk of developmental disorders with information on five domains of motor behaviour: variation, adaptability, symmetry, fluency, and performance. Backed up by extensive, up-to-date research, it includes percentile curves so that professionals can easily interpret the infants’ scores. The profile created from the assessment informs about the infant’s current condition and their risk of developmental disorders, as well as providing suggestions for early intervention, tailored to the strengths and limitations of the infant. Used over time, it can be an excellent instrument to monitor the infant’s developmental progress. Illustrated with numerous figures and accompanied by a website hosting over 100 video clips, this text is an essential read for professionals in developmental paediatrics, including paediatric physiotherapists, occupational therapists, developmental paediatricians, neuropaediatricians, and paediatric physiatrists.
