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.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 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.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No exclusion criteria. All eligible patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be included to comprehensively assess the real-world prevalence of acute rehabilitation practices and associated barriers in pediatric intensive care units.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Children in Pediatric Intensive Care Units
Children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) who are assessed for the prevalence of acute rehabilitation practices during critical care.
Other: Acute Rehabilitation (Observed Practice)
This study does not assign any interventions. It observes routine clinical practices of acute rehabilitation provided to children in pediatric intensive care units as part of standard care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of Participants Who Received Acute Rehabilitation
Time Frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
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

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Acute Rehabilitation Sessions per Participant
Time Frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
The number of physical therapy or occupational therapy sessions delivered to eligible children within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point.
At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Number of Participants by Type of Rehabilitation Intervention
Time Frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
The types of rehabilitation interventions delivered within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point, including passive exercise, active exercise, positioning, mobility training, and occupational therapy interventions.
At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Proportion of sessions Involving Assistive Devices
Time Frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
The proportion of rehabilitation sessions involving assistive devices or equipment during the 24 hours preceding each assessment point.
At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Number of Sessions by Delivery Method
Time Frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
The types of rehabilitation delivery methods used within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point, including bedside therapy, in-room mobilization, and therapist-assisted mobility interventions.
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
Time Frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Multivariable logistic regression analysis will be performed to evaluate clinical and organizational factors associated with the absence of acute rehabilitation delivery among eligible children in the pediatric intensive care unit. Predictor variables will include patient demographics, severity of illness, sedation status, mechanical ventilation, restraint use, ICU structure, rehabilitation protocols, and staffing resources.
