Comparative effectiveness research (CER) has been proposed as a framework to provide evidence for optimal care for TBI patients. The first step in CER is to map the existing variation. The aim of current study is to quantify variation in general structural and process characteristics among centers participating in the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study. Methods: We designed a set of 11 provider profiling questionnaires with 321 questions about various aspects of TBI care, chosen based on literature and expert opinion. After pilot testing, questionnaires were disseminated to 71 centers from 20 countries participating in the CENTER-TBI study. Reliability of questionnaires was estimated by calculating a concordance rate among 5% duplicate questions. Results: All 71 centers completed the questionnaires. Median concordance rate among duplicate questions was 0.85. The majority of centers were academic hospitals (n = 65, 92%), designated as a level I trauma center (n = 48, 68%) and situated in an urban location (n = 70, 99%). The availability of facilities for neuro-trauma care varied across centers; e.g. 40 (57%) had a dedicated neuro-intensive care unit (ICU), 36 (51%) had an in-hospital rehabilitation unit and the organization of the ICU was closed in 64% (n = 45) of the centers. In addition, we found wide variation in processes of care, such as the ICU admission policy and intracranial pressure monitoring policy among centers. Conclusion: Even among high-volume, specialized neurotrauma centers there is substantial variation in structures and processes of TBI care. This variation provides an opportunity to study effectiveness of specific aspects of TBI care and to identify best practices with CER approaches.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) involves complex coagulation management and frequent hemostatic complications. ECMO practice between centers is variable. To compare results between coagulation studies, standardized definitions and clear documentation of ECMO practice is essential. We assessed how study population, outcome definitions, and ECMO-, coagulation-, and transfusion-related parameters were described in pediatric ECMO studies. DATA SOURCES: Embase, Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar. STUDY SELECTION: English original studies of pediatric ECMO patients describing hemostatic tests or outcome. DATA EXTRACTION: Eligibility was assessed following PRISMA guidelines. Study population, outcome and ECMO-, coagulation, and transfusion parameters were summarized. DATA SYNTHESIS: A total of 107 of 1312 records were included. Study population parameters most frequently included (gestational) age (79%), gender (60%), and (birth) weight (59%). Outcomes, including definitions of bleeding (29%), thrombosis (15%), and survival (43%), were described using various definitions. Description of pump type, oxygenator and cannulation mode occurred in 49%, 45%, and 36% of studies, respectively. The main coagulation test (53%), its reference ranges (49%), and frequency of testing (24%) were the most prevalent reported coagulation parameters. The transfusion thresholds for platelets, red blood cells, and fibrinogen were described in 27%, 18%, and 18% of studies, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review demonstrates a widespread lack of detail or standardization of several parameters in coagulation research of pediatric ECMO patients. We suggest several parameters that might be included in future coagulation studies. We encourage the ECMO community to adopt and refine this list of parameters and to use standardized definitions in future research.

Abstract

Executive summary A concerted effort to tackle the global health problem posed by traumatic brain injury (TBI) is long overdue. TBI is a public health challenge of vast, but insufficiently recognised, proportions. Worldwide, more than 50 million people have a TBI each year, and it is estimated that about half the world’s population will have one or more TBIs over their lifetime. TBI is the leading cause of mortality in young adults and a major cause of death and disability across all ages in all countries, with a disproportionate burden of disability and death occurring in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). It has been estimated that TBI costs the global economy approximately $US400 billion annually. Deficiencies in prevention, care, and research urgently need to be addressed to reduce the huge burden and societal costs of TBI. This Commission highlights priorities and provides expert recommendations for all stakeholders— policy makers, funders, health-care professionals, researchers, and patient representatives—on clinical and research strategies to reduce this growing public health problem and improve the lives of people with TBI. The epidemiology of TBI is changing: in high-income countries, the number of elderly people with TBI is increasing, mainly due to falls, while in LMICs, the burden of TBI from road traffic incidents is increasing. Data on the frequency of TBI and TBI-related deaths and on the economic impact of brain trauma are often incomplete and vary between countries. Improved, accurate epidemiological monitoring and robust healtheconomic data collection are needed to inform healthcare policy and prevention programmes. Highly developed and coordinated systems of care are crucial for management of patients with TBI. However, in practice, implementation of such frameworks varies greatly and disconnects exist in the chain of care. Optimisation of systems of care should be high on the policy agenda and could yield substantial gains in terms of both patient outcomes and costs to society. TBI is a complex condition, and strong evidence to support treatment guidelines and recommendations is scarce. Most multicentre clinical trials of medical and surgical interventions have failed to show efficacy, despite promising preclinical results. At the bedside, treatment strategies are generally based on guidelines that promote a one-size-fits-all approach and are insufficiently targeted to the needs of individual patients. Attempts to individualise treatment are challenging owing to the diversity of TBI, and are hampered by the use of simplistic methods to characterise its initial type and severity. Advances in genomics, blood biomarkers, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and pathophysiological monitoring, combined with informatics to integrate data from multiple sources, offer new research avenues to improve disease characterisation and monitoring of disease evolution. These tools can also aid understanding of disease mechanisms and facilitate targeted treatment strategies for individual patients. Individualised management in the postacute phase and evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment and care processes depend on accurate quantification of outcomes. In practice, however, the use of simplistic methods hinders efforts to quantify outcomes after TBI of all severities. Development and validation of multidimensional approaches will be essential to improve measurement of clinical outcomes, for both research and patient care. In particular, we need to find better ways to characterise the currently under-recognised risk of long-term disabling sequelae in patients with relatively mild injuries. Prognostic models are important to help clinicians to provide reliable information to patients and relatives, and to facilitate comparative audit of care between centres and countries. There is an urgent need for further development, validation, and implementation of prognostic models in TBI, particularly for less severe TBI. This multitude of challenges in TBI—encompassing systems of care, clinical management, and research strategy—demands novel approaches to the generation of new evidence and its implementation in clinical practice. Comparative effectiveness research (CER) offers opportunities to capitalise on the diversity of TBI and systems of care and enables assessment of therapies in real-world conditions; high-quality CER studies can provide strong evidence to support guideline recommendations. The global challenges posed by TBI necessitate global collaborations and a change in research culture to endorse broad data sharing. This Commission covers a range of topics that need to be addressed to confront the global burden of TBI and reduce its effects on individuals and society: epidemiology (section 1); health economics (section 2); prevention (section 3); systems of care (section 4); clinical management (section 5); characterisation of TBI (section 6); outcome assessment (section 7); prognosis (section 8); and new directions for acquiring and implementing evidence (section 9). Table 1 summarises key messages from the Commission and provides recommendations to advance clinical care and research in TBI. We must increase awareness of the scale of the challenge posed by TBI. If we are to tackle the individual and societal burden of TBI, these efforts need to go beyond a clinical and research audience and address the public, politicians, and other stakeholders. We need to develop and implement policies for better prevention and systems of care in order to improve outcomes for individuals with TBI. We also need a commitment to substantial long-term investment in TBI research across a range of disciplines to determine best practice and facilitate individualised management strategies. A combination of innovative research methods and global collaboration, and ways to effectively translate progress in basic and clinical research into clinical practice and public health policy, will be vital for progress in the field.

Abstract

Source at https://doi.org/10.1186/s13054-018-2241-4. Licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. Background: We aimed to investigate the extent of the agreement on practices around brain death and postmortem organ donation. Methods: Investigators from 67 Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study centers completed several questionnaires (response rate: 99%). Results: Regarding practices around brain death, we found agreement on the clinical evaluation (prerequisites and neurological assessment) for brain death determination (BDD) in 100% of the centers. However, ancillary tests were required for BDD in 64% of the centers. BDD for nondonor patients was deemed mandatory in 18% of the centers before withdrawing life-sustaining measures (LSM). Also, practices around postmortem organ donation varied. Organ donation after circulatory arrest was forbidden in 45% of the centers. When withdrawal of LSM was contemplated, in 67% of centers the patients with a ventricular drain in situ had this removed, either sometimes or all of the time. Conclusions: This study showed both agreement and some regional differences regarding practices around brain death and postmortem organ donation. We hope our results help quantify and understand potential differences, and provide impetus for current dialogs toward further harmonization of practices around brain death and postmortem organ donation.

Abstract

Introduction: The strength of evidence underpinning care and treatment recommendations in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is low. Comparative effectiveness research (CER) has been proposed as a framework to provide evidence for optimal care for TBI patients. The first step in CER is to map the existing variation. The aim of current study is to quantify variation in general structural and process characteristics among centers participating in the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study. Methods: We designed a set of 11 provider profiling questionnaires with 321 questions about various aspects of TBI care, chosen based on literature and expert opinion. After pilot testing, questionnaires were disseminated to 71 centers from 20 countries participating in the CENTER-TBI study. Reliability of questionnaires was estimated by calculating a concordance rate among 5% duplicate questions. Results: All 71 centers completed the questionnaires. Median concordance rate among duplicate questions was 0.85. The majority of centers were academic hospitals (n = 65, 92%), designated as a level I trauma center (n = 48, 68%) and situated in an urban location (n = 70, 99%). The availability of facilities for neuro-trauma care varied across centers; e.g. 40 (57%) had a dedicated neuro-intensive care unit (ICU), 36 (51%) had an in-hospital rehabilitation unit and the organization of the ICU was closed in 64% (n = 45) of the centers. In addition, we found wide variation in processes of care, such as the ICU admission policy and intracranial pressure monitoring policy among centers. Conclusion: Even among high-volume, specialized neurotrauma centers there is substantial variation in structures and processes of TBI care. This variation provides an opportunity to study effectiveness of specific aspects of TBI care and to identify best practices with CER approaches.

Abstract

Introduction: The strength of evidence underpinning care and treatment recommendations in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is low. Comparative effectiveness research (CER) has been proposed as a framework to provide evidence for optimal care for TBI patients. The first step in CER is to map the existing variation. The aim of current study is to quantify variation in general structural and process characteristics among centers participating in the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study. Methods: We designed a set of 11 provider profiling questionnaires with 321 questions about various aspects of TBI care, chosen based on literature and expert opinion. After pilot testing, questionnaires were disseminated to 71 centers from 20 countries participating in the CENTER-TBI study. Reliability of questionnaires was estimated by calculating a concordance rate among 5% duplicate questions. Results: All 71 centers completed the questionnaires. Median concordance rate among duplicate questions was 0.85. The majority of centers were academic hospitals (n = 65, 92%), designated as a level I trauma center (n = 48, 68%) and situated in an urban location (n = 70, 99%). The availability of facilities for neuro-trauma care varied across centers; e.g. 40 (57%) had a dedicated neuro-intensive care unit (ICU), 36 (51%) had an in-hospital rehabilitation unit and the organization of the ICU was closed in 64% (n = 45) of the centers. In addition, we found wide variation in processes of care, such as the ICU admission policy and intracranial pressure monitoring policy among centers. Conclusion: Even among high-volume, specialized neurotrauma centers there is substantial variation in structures and processes of TBI care. This variation provides an opportunity to study effectiveness of specific aspects of TBI care and to identify best practices with CER approaches.

Abstract

Background. Dynamic arterial lactate indices predict mortality more accurately than static arterial lactate measurements in children with septic shock or congenital cardiac defects. The current study evaluates whether this also applies to children with primary respiratory disease requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods. Static arterial lactate levels (LACabs) were prospectively collected before and during ECMO support for this single center, observational cohort study. Also, time-weighted arterial lactate (LAC(tw)) and lactate change over time (LACdelta) were calculated as dynamic indices for, respectively, the duration and the trend over time of lactate derangement. Intensive care mortality was the primary endpoint. Analyses were performed for neonatal and pediatric patients separately. Results. Fifty-six neonatal and 39 pediatric patients were included. Eighteen (32%) neonatal and 12 (31%) pediatric patients died. The evolution of LACabs and LACdelta differed between the pediatric survivors and the pediatric non-survivors (P

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Current classification of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is suboptimal, and management is based on weak evidence, with little attempt to personalize treatment. A need exists for new precision medicine and stratified management approaches that incorporate emerging technologies. OBJECTIVE: To improve characterization and classification of TBI and to identify best clinical care, using comparative effectiveness research approaches. METHODS: This multicenter, longitudinal, prospective, observational study in 22 countries across Europe and Israel will collect detailed data from 5400 consenting patients, presenting within 24 hours of injury, with a clinical diagnosis of TBI and an indication for computed tomography. Broader registry-level data collection in approximately 20 000 patients will assess generalizability. Cross sectional comprehensive outcome assessments, including quality of life and neuropsychological testing, will be performed at 6 months. Longitudinal assessments will continue up to 24 months post TBI in patient subsets. Advanced neuroimaging and genomic and biomarker data will be used to improve characterization, and analyses will include neuroinformatics approaches to address variations in process and clinical care. Results will be integrated with living systematic reviews in a process of knowledge transfer. The study initiation was from October to December 2014, and the recruitment period was for 18 to 24 months. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in TBI should provide novel multidimensional approaches to TBI characterization and classification, evidence to support treatment recommendations, and benchmarks for quality of care. Data and sample repositories will ensure opportunities for legacy research. DISCUSSION: Comparative effectiveness research provides an alternative to reductionistic clinical trials in restricted patient populations by exploiting differences in biology, care, and outcome to support

Abstract

This review will address the different challenges for the use of non-neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). It will discuss the available evidence for the use of pediatric ECMO in respiratory and circulatory failure, focusing on indications and contra-indications and choice of ECMO mode. Furthermore we will try to define optimal treatment goals, identify primary outcome parameters and calculate the expected need for non-neonatal ECMO per 1.000.000 inhabitants.

Abstract

Background No definitive evidence exists on how intracranial hypertension should be treated in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is therefore likely that centers and practitioners individually balance potential benefits and risks of different intracranial pressure (ICP) management strategies, resulting in practice variation. The aim of this study was to examine variation in monitoring and treatment policies for intracranial hypertension in patients with TBI. Methods A 29-item survey on ICP monitoring and treatment was developed on the basis of literature and expert opinion, and it was pilot-tested in 16 centers. The questionnaire was sent to 68 neurotrauma centers participating in the Collaborative European Neurotrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study. Results The survey was completed by 66 centers (97% response rate). Centers were mainly academic hospitals (n = 60, 91%) and designated level I trauma centers (n = 44, 67%). The Brain Trauma Foundation guidelines were used in 49 (74%) centers. Approximately 90% of the participants (n = 58) indicated placing an ICP monitor in patients with severe TBI and computed tomographic abnormalities. There was no consensus on other indications or on peri-insertion precautions. We found wide variation in the use of first- and second-tier treatments for elevated ICP. Approximately half of the centers were classified as using a relatively aggressive approach to ICP monitoring and treatment (n = 32, 48%), whereas the others were considered more conservative (n = 34, 52%). Conclusions Substantial variation was found regarding monitoring and treatment policies in patients with TBI and intracranial hypertension. The results of this survey indicate a lack of consensus between European neurotrauma centers and provide an opportunity and necessity for comparative effectiveness research.

Abstract

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in children with cardiopulmonary failure. While the majority of ECMO centers use unfractionated heparin, other anticoagulants, including factor XI and factor XII inhibitors are emerging, which may prove suitable for ECMO patients. However, before these anticoagulants can be applied in these patients, baseline data of FXI and FXII changes need to be acquired., Objectives: This study aimed to describe the longitudinal profile of FXI and FXII antigenic levels and function before, during, and after ECMO in children., Methods: This is a prospective observational study in neonatal and pediatric patients with ECMO (<18 years). All patients with venoarterial ECMO and with sufficient plasma volume collected before ECMO, on day 1 and day 3, and 24 hours postdecannulation were included. Antigenic levels and functional activity of FXI and FXII were determined in these samples. Longitudinal profiles of these values were created using a linear mixed model., Results: Sixteen patients were included in this study. Mean FXI and FXII antigenic levels (U/mL) changed from 7.9 and 53.2 before ECMO to 6.0 and 34.5 on day 3 and they recovered to 8.8 and 39.4, respectively, after stopping ECMO. Function (%) of FXI and FXII decreased from 59.1 and 59.0 to 49.0 and 50.7 on day 3 and recovered to 66.0 and 54.4, respectively., Conclusion: This study provides the first insights into changes of the contact pathway in children undergoing ECMO. FXI and FXII antigen and function change during ECMO. Results from this study can be used as starting point for future contact pathway anticoagulant studies in pediatric patients with ECMO., (© 2023 The Authors.)

Abstract

Objectives: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) involves complex coagulation management and frequent hemostatic complications. ECMO practice between centers is variable. To compare results between coagulation studies, standardized definitions and clear documentation of ECMO practice is essential. We assessed how study population, outcome definitions, and ECMO-, coagulation-, and transfusion-related parameters were described in pediatric ECMO studies., Data Sources: Embase, Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar., Study Selection: English original studies of pediatric ECMO patients describing hemostatic tests or outcome., Data Extraction: Eligibility was assessed following PRISMA guidelines. Study population, outcome and ECMO-, coagulation, and transfusion parameters were summarized., Data Synthesis: A total of 107 of 1312 records were included. Study population parameters most frequently included (gestational) age (79%), gender (60%), and (birth) weight (59%). Outcomes, including definitions of bleeding (29%), thrombosis (15%), and survival (43%), were described using various definitions. Description of pump type, oxygenator and cannulation mode occurred in 49%, 45%, and 36% of studies, respectively. The main coagulation test (53%), its reference ranges (49%), and frequency of testing (24%) were the most prevalent reported coagulation parameters. The transfusion thresholds for platelets, red blood cells, and fibrinogen were described in 27%, 18%, and 18% of studies, respectively., Conclusions: This systematic review demonstrates a widespread lack of detail or standardization of several parameters in coagulation research of pediatric ECMO patients. We suggest several parameters that might be included in future coagulation studies. We encourage the ECMO community to adopt and refine this list of parameters and to use standardized definitions in future research., (© 2022 The Authors.

Abstract

Background: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in pediatric patients with underlying malignancies remains controversial. However, in an era in which the survival rates for children with malignancies have increased significantly and several recent reports have demonstrated effective ECMO use in children with cancer, we aimed to estimate the outcome and complications of ECMO treatment in these children., Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL databases for studies on the use ECMO in pediatric patients with an underlying malignancy from inception to September 2020. This review was conducted in adherence to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis statement. Study eligibility was independently assessed by two authors and disagreements resolved by a third author. Included studies were evaluated for quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Random effects meta-analyses (DerSimonian and Laird) were performed. The primary outcomes were mortality during ECMO or hospital mortality., Results: Thirteen retrospective, observational cohort studies were included, most of moderate quality (625 patients). The commonest indication for ECMO was severe respiratory failure (92%). Pooled mortality during ECMO was 55% (95% confidence interval [CI], 47-63%) and pooled hospital mortality was 60% (95% CI 54-67%). Although heterogeneity among the included studies was low, confidence intervals were large. In addition, the majority of the data were derived from registries with overlapping patients which were excluded for the meta-analyses to prevent resampling of the same participants across the included studies. Finally, there was a lack of consistent complications reporting among the studies., Conclusion: Significantly higher mortalities than in general PICU patients was reported with the use of ECMO in children with malignancies. Although these results need to be interpreted with caution due to the lack of granular data, they suggest that ECMO appears to represents a viable rescue option for selected patients with underlying malignancies. There is an urgent need for additional data to define patients for whom ECMO may provide benefit or harm., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

Abstract

Introduction: Optimal neonatal nadroparin dosages to treat venous thromboembolism (VTE) are unknown., Objective: To evaluate therapeutic nadroparin dosages to reach therapeutic target ranges (TTR: 0.5-1.0 International Unit (IU)/mL) and the effectiveness and safety of nadroparin in neonatal VTE., Methods: Retrospective study including neonates with VTE on nadroparin in a tertiary center between 2007 and 2018. Two groups were distinguished: neonates before (group 1) and after (group 2) switch to higher starting dosages in 2014., Results: Sixty-one neonates (44 preterm, 17 term) with 64 VTEs were included. TTR was reached in 32/64 (50%) VTEs (group 1: 35.7%; group 2: 61.1%). Median nadroparin dosage to reach TTR was 197 (97.9-330.3) IU/kg/12 h. No therapy-related deaths occurred. Recurrent VTE developed in 6 (9.8%) neonates. Complete clot resolution was observed in 31/41 (75.6%) VTEs. TTR was reached in 58.1% VTEs with complete clot resolution. No major bleeding occurred. Non-major clinically relevant bleedings occurred in 3/64 (4.7%) VTEs, consisting of large hematomas due to the use of subcutaneous catheters., Conclusions: High nadroparin dosages are needed to reach TTR in neonates, which seem to be safe. Clot resolution may occur without reaching TTR. Subcutaneous catheters may cause important bleeding complications.

Abstract

Background: The use of antiseptic barrier caps reduced the occurrence of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in adult intensive care settings. We assessed the effect of the use of antiseptic barrier caps on the incidence of CLABSI in infants and children and evaluated the implementation process., Methods: We performed a mixed-method, prospective, observational before-after study. The CLABSI rate was documented during the "scrub the hub method" and the antiseptic barrier cap phase. Main outcomes were the number of CLABSIs per 1,000 catheter days (assessed with a Poisson regression analysis) and nurses' adherence to antiseptic barrier cap protocol., Results: In total, 2,248 patients were included. The rate of CLABSIs per 1,000 catheter days declined from 3.15 to 2.35, resulting in an overall incidence reduction of 22% (95% confidence interval, -34%, 55%; P = .368). Nurses' adherence to the antiseptic barrier cap protocol was 95.2% and 89.0% for the neonatal intensive care unit and pediatric intensive care unit, respectively., Discussion: The CLABSI reducing effect of the antiseptic barrier caps seems to be more prominent in the neonatal intensive care unit population compared with the pediatric intensive care unit population., Conclusions: The antiseptic barrier cap did not significantly reduce the CLABSI rates in this study., (Copyright © 2019 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.

Abstract

Objectives: Postresuscitation care in children focuses on preventing secondary neurologic injury and attempts to provide (precise) prognostication for both caregivers and the medical team. This systematic review provides an overview of neuromonitoring modalities and their potential role in neuroprognostication in postcardiac arrest children., Data Resources: Databases EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane, MEDLINE Ovid, Google Scholar, and PsycINFO Ovid were searched in February 2019., Study Selection: Enrollment of children after in- and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between 1 month and 18 years and presence of a neuromonitoring method obtained within the first 2 weeks post cardiac arrest. Two reviewers independently selected appropriate studies based on the citations., Data Extraction: Data collected included study characteristics and methodologic quality, populations enrolled, neuromonitoring modalities, outcome, and limitations. Evidence tables per neuromonitoring method were constructed using a standardized data extraction form. Each included study was graded according to the Oxford Evidence-Based Medicine scoring system., Data Synthesis: Of 1,195 citations, 27 studies met the inclusion criteria. There were 16 retrospective studies, nine observational prospective studies, one observational exploratory study, and one pilot randomized controlled trial. Neuromonitoring methods included neurologic examination, routine electroencephalography and continuous electroencephalography, transcranial Doppler, MRI, head CT, plasma biomarkers, somatosensory evoked potentials, and brainstem auditory evoked potential. All evidence was graded 2B-2C., Conclusions: The appropriate application and precise interpretation of available modalities still need to be determined in relation to the individual patient. International collaboration in standardized data collection during the (acute) clinical course together with detailed long-term outcome measurements (including functional outcome, neuropsychologic assessment, and health-related quality of life) are the first steps toward more precise, patient-specific neuroprognostication after pediatric cardiac arrest.

Abstract

Genetic deficiencies in enzymes involved in glyoxylate metabolism lead to primary hyperoxaluria (PH) type I, typically characterized by deposition of oxalate crystals in kidneys. A 2-month-old infant was admitted, and was diagnosed with renal failure. Abdominal ultrasound images revealed enlarged and hyperechoic kidneys. Additionally, on cerebral ultrasound (CUS) hyperechoic changes of thalami and basal ganglia were noted, reminiscent of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage. However, MRI of the brain did not show any abnormal signal intensities compatible with asphyxia. The hyperechoic appearance of deep grey matter, in particular putamen, was therefore not due to asphyxiated brain damage but seemed related to the deposition of oxalate salts. Moreover, macular crystals were detected at ophthalmoscopy. Our case report shows the potential of US imaging to detect deposition of crystals not only in kidneys but also in brain mimicking, perinatal asphyxia., (Copyright © 2017 European Paediatric Neurology Society.

Therapeutic hypothermia (HT) is frequently used in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and young infants during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Hypothermia and CPB result in physiological changes contributing to pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) changes. Changes in the absorption, the volume of distribution (Vd) and the total body clearance (CL) of drugs used during hypothermia and CPB might lead to the interindividual PK variability resulting in either insufficient or toxic plasma concentrations and have an impact on the biodisposition and action of drugs. Both under- or overdosing of medicines in these critically ill patients may contribute to a worse overall outcome. Overall, hypothermia decreases CL but may decrease or increase Vd by changing intravascular blood volume, organ perfusion and enzymatic metabolic processes. In addition, maturational as well as organ specific changes may occur during hypothermia superimposed on the underlying disease and/or procedures such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or CPB. This paper will provide an overview of variables and potential covariates (e.g., asphyxia, sepsis, multiorgan dysfunction syndrome, cardiac arrest) determining the PK of frequently used drugs. In addition, the effects of hypothermia on individual drugs are described as well as alternative ways for future study designs such as the use of population PK-PD and opportunistic sampling. Ultimately, these investigations are warranted to obtain specific dosing nomograms of medicines for use in clinical practice and to improve the treatment results of this vulnerable group of pediatric patients.

Abstract

Background: Dynamic arterial lactate indices predict mortality more accurately than static arterial lactate measurements in children with septic shock or congenital cardiac defects. The current study evaluates whether this also applies to children with primary respiratory disease requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)., Methods: Static arterial lactate levels (LACabs) were prospectively collected before and during ECMO support for this single center, observational cohort study. Also, time-weighted arterial lactate (LACtw) and lactate change over time (LACdelta) were calculated as dynamic indices for, respectively, the duration and the trend over time of lactate derangement. Intensive care mortality was the primary endpoint. Analyses were performed for neonatal and pediatric patients separately., Results: Fifty-six neonatal and 39 pediatric patients were included. Eighteen (32%) neonatal and 12 (31%) pediatric patients died. The evolution of LACabs and LACdelta differed between the pediatric survivors and the pediatric non-survivors (P<0.001, P=0.025). The hazard ratio was 1.23 (CI95=1.06-1.43, P=0.007) for LACabs and 20.64 (CI95=1.99-214.20, P=0.011) for LACdelta, indicating that higher lactate levels increase the risk for mortality. The predictive value for LACabs was 0.75 (CI95=0.57-0.93) and for LACdelta 0.69 (CI95=0.51-0.87), respectively. There were neither consistent differences for LACtw in the pediatric patients, nor for any of the static or dynamic lactate indices in the neonatal patients., Conclusion: Static arterial lactate measurements and, to a lesser extent, dynamic arterial lactate indices predict mortality in pediatric, but not neonatal ECMO patients. The magnitude and trend over time rather than the duration of lactate derangement are associated with mortality.

Abstract

This review will address the different challenges for the use of non-neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). It will discuss the available evidence for the use of pediatric ECMO in respiratory and circulatory failure, focusing on indications and contra-indications and choice of ECMO mode. Furthermore we will try to define optimal treatment goals, identify primary outcome parameters and calculate the expected need for non-neonatal ECMO per 1.000.000 inhabitants.

Abstract

ECMO support is an established life saving therapy for potentially reversible respiratory and/or cardiac failure. Improvement of outcome depends on effective treatment of the primary diagnosis and complications. Adequate drug therapy is important in reaching these goals. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data in neonates and older children on ECMO are sparse. Most studies show altered volume of distribution and clearance for the drugs studied. This article gives an overview of the available PK and PD studies in neonates and children on ECMO, suggests possible mechanisms of altered PK and PD and identifies areas of interest for further research.

Abstract

Introduction: The objective of the present study was to explore a continuous intravenous furosemide regimen that adapts to urine output in neonates treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)., Methods: Seven neonates admitted to a paediatric surgical intensive care unit for ECMO therapy were treated with a furosemide regimen consisting of a loading bolus (1-2 mg/kg) followed by a continuous infusion at 0.2 mg/kg per hour, which was adjusted according to the target urine production of 6 ml/kg per hour. Therapeutic drug monitoring for furosemide concentrations in blood was performed., Results: The mean +/- standard deviation furosemide dose was 0.17 +/- 0.06 mg/kg per hour, 0.08 +/- 0.04 mg/kg per hour and 0.12 +/- 0.07 mg/kg per hour, respectively, on the first day, second day and third day of the study. The median (range of the urine production of the study subjects) urine production over the consecutive study days was 6.8 (0.8-8.4) mg/kg per hour, 6.0 (4.7-8.9) mg/kg per hour and 5.4 (3.4-10.1) ml/kg per hour. The target urine production was reached after a median time of 7 (3-37) hours. The regimen was haemodynamically well tolerated and the median furosemide serum concentration was 3.1 (0.4-12.9) mug/ml, well below the toxic level., Conclusion: The evaluated furosemide infusion appears an effective means to reduce volume overload in neonates treated with ECMO. The data of this preliminary study suggest that the starting dose of furosemide was too high, however, because the urine output was excessive and required frequent adaptations. The results of this study therefore indicate that a novel pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model needs to be developed for neonates treated with ECMO.

Abstract

Introduction: Loop diuretics are the most frequently used diuretics in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In patients after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery, the use of continuous furosemide infusion is increasingly documented. Because ECMO and CPB are 'comparable' procedures, continuous furosemide infusion is used in newborns on ECMO. We report on the use of continuous intravenous furosemide in neonates treated with ECMO., Methods: This was a retrospective observational study in neonates treated with continuous intravenous furosemide during ECMO., Results: Thirty-one patients were included in the study. A median of 25 (9-149) hours after the start of ECMO, continuous furosemide therapy was started at a median rate of 0.08 (0.02-0.17) mg/kg per hour. The continuous furosemide dose was not changed in the individual patient. Seven patients received a furosemide bolus prior to, and five patients received additional loop diuretics during, the continuous infusion. Urine production before continuous furosemide therapy was not significantly different between patients who received a furosemide bolus prior to the infusion and those who did not receive this bolus (P = 0.2879). Although a positive effect of the 'loading' bolus was observed in urine output in the first 24 hours, there was no statistically significant difference in urine output (P = 0.0961) or in time (P = 0.1976) to reach a urine output of 6 ml/kg per hour between patients. After 24 hours, urine production remained a median of 6.2 ml/kg per hour irrespective of furosemide boluses. The forced diuresis was well tolerated as illustrated by stable haemodynamic parameters and a decrease in ECMO flow and vasopressor score over the observation period., Conclusion: This is the first report on continuous intravenous furosemide therapy in newborns treated with ECMO. The furosemide regimens used in this study varied widely in continuous and intermittent doses. However, all regimens achieved adequate urine output. An advantage of continuous, over intermittent, intravenous furosemide could not be documented. Furosemide dosing regimens should be developed for neonates treated with ECMO. In addition, therapeutic drug-monitoring studies are required to prevent furosemide toxicity because so far no data are available on serum furosemide levels in neonates treated with ECMO.

Abstract

Background: Pharmacologic studies in atopic eczema (AE) are difficult to standardize. Patients with AE differ in the stage of their skin disease (acute, subacute, chronic)., Objective: This study was designed to assess macroscopic and microscopic effects of pretreatment with topical glucocortico-steroids (GCSs) and tar on the atopy patch test (APT) reaction in patients with atopic eczema., Methods: Nonlesional skin of the back of patients with AE (n = 6) was treated for 3 weeks at 3 different sites with triamcin-olonacetonide 0.1% in cetamacrogol ointment (GCSs), pix liquida 10% in cetamacrogol ointment (tar), and cetamacrogol ointment (vehicle), respectively. APTs were performed, and biopsy specimens were taken from all these sites (time = 0 and 24 hours) for immunohistochemical analysis., Results: Treatment with both GCSs and tar was able to reduce the macroscopic outcome of the APT reaction. Furthermore, both treatment modalities had an almost equally inhibiting effect on the influx of T cells, eosinophils, and CD1(+), RFD1(+), IFN-gamma(+), and IL-4(+) cells, as well as on the percentage of vessels expressing the adhesion molecules vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 and E-selectin in response to epicutaneous aeroallergen challenge., Conclusion: Although both treatments significantly reduced the various cellular constituents of allergic inflammation, all cell types remained present. In addition, this study shows that the APT can be used to evaluate the effect of topical anti-inflammatory treatments on allergic inflammation in patients with AE.

Abstract

Background: Epicutaneous application of aeroallergens induces a positive atopy patch test (APT) response in about 50% of patients with atopic eczema (AE) and sensitization for these allergens., Objective: To elucidate the mechanisms determining the outcome of the APT, the following questions were addressed. Are there differences in clinical features between patients with AE who have positive versus negative APT responses? Is a macroscopically negative APT response also histologically negative, and if so, are there differences in clinically noninvolved skin between the two groups regarding (1) the sensitivity toward an irritant, (2) the composition of cellular infiltrate, (3) the presence of aeroallergen-specific T cells, and (4) the number of IgE(+) cells?, Methods: Punch biopsy specimens from both house dust mite patch tested and the clinically noninvolved skin of patients with AE who have positive APT responses (n = 10) and negative APT responses (n = 10) and those from the normal skin of atopic individuals without AE (n = 10) and nonatopic volunteers (n = 10) were analyzed by using immunohistochemistry with mAbs against eosinophil cationic protein, IgE, the high-affinity receptor for IgE, and CD3 and CD25 mAbs. Furthermore, T-cell lines were propagated from noninvolved skin of all patient and control groups. The T-cell lines were tested for house dust mite specificity., Results: Negative APT sites were immunohistochemically similar to clinically noninvolved AE skin. There were no significant differences between patients with AE who had positive and negative APT results regarding either clinical features, the composition of cellular infiltrate, or the presence of allergen-specific T cells in clinically noninvolved skin. However, differences were observed regarding the presence of IgE on epidermal CD1a(+) cells., Conclusion: Our results indicate that a positive APT reaction requires the presence of epidermal IgE(+) CD1a(+) cells in clinically noninvolved skin, but that also other, as yet unknown, discriminatory factors are involved.

Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by skin infiltrates of leukocytes, such as lymphocytes and eosinophils., Objective: To describe the mechanisms determining this inflammatory process, we have analyzed expression of adhesion molecules and their regulation on skin endothelial cells (ECs)., Methods: Expression of adhesion molecules on ECs was analyzed by immunohistochemistry by using Ulex europaeus agglutin 1 as a pan-endothelial marker., Results: Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), E-selectin, and P-selectin were not found in skin of nonatopic individuals, whereas expression of these surface molecules was observed in nonlesional skin of patients with AD and was even more pronounced in lesional skin or after epicutaneous application of aeroallergen. Induction of adhesion molecule expression was examined on both macrovascular ECs from human umbilical cord vein (HUVECs) and human microvascular ECs (HMEC-1) from skin. TNF-alpha very potently upregulated adhesion molecule expression in vitro on both EC cell types. To verify the in vivo relevance of TNF-alpha, we performed TNF-alpha staining in the skin. TNF-alpha was observed in the dermis of nonatopic skin, both in chymase-containing mast cells and CD68+ macrophages. The increase in the number of TNF-alpha-containing cells was concomitant with the increase in adhesion molecule expression in the skin of patients with AD. IL-4 is supposed to be important in atopic diseases because of its IgE- and VCAM-1-inducing properties. However, IL-4 addition failed to induce VCAM-1 expression on HMEC-1, although in the same set of experiments, a clear induction of VCAM-1 expression by IL-4 on HUVECs was demonstrated. Flow cytometry revealed the absence of 11-4 receptor alpha-chains on HMEC-1 and their presence on HUVECs. Immunohistochemistry examination on skin sections showed no binding of the IL-4R alpha-chain antibodies to ECs., Conclusion: We conclude that adhesion molecule expression is increased in the skin of patients with AD. Most probably, this increased expression is not a (direct) effect of IL-4 on skin endothelium, but other cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, might be responsible for this increased adhesion molecule expression. Continuous adhesion molecule expression may facilitate T-cell extravasation in a nonantigen-specific manner, thus explaining the presence of increased T-cell numbers in nonlesional skin of patients with AD.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disorder, characterized by infiltration of activated memory CD4+ T cells into skin. A model to study the onset of allergic inflammation in a patient with AD is the atopy patch test (APT), in which, by epicutaneous application of aeroallergen, an eczematous reaction is induced in 50% of sensitized patients with AD. Extravasation of T cells into skin is thought to be critically dependent on expression of the surface molecule cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA), which recognizes and binds its ligand E-selectin on endothelium. We studied the dynamics of expression of CLA and the gut homing receptor alphaE beta7 (HML-1) on T cells in the skin of patients with AD and in APT reactions and nickel and sodium lauryl sulfate patch test reactions by means of immunohistochemical double staining of skin biopsy specimens. The results show an increase in the number of CD3+ T cells in the lesional skin of patients with AD, APT reactions, and nickel and sodium lauryl sulfate patch test reactions as compared with nonlesional skin of the same patients and nonatopic individuals. In contrast, the percentages of CLA+ T cells in the lesional skin of patients with AD, in the APT reactions, and in sodium lauryl sulfate and nickel patch test reactions were decreased. In addition, we found a marked expression of alphaE beta7 by T cells present in skin, indicating a nonspecific influx of T cells during allergic skin inflammation. We propose that during allergic skin inflammation CLA expression is not a prerequisite for cutaneous T-cell infiltration. CLA expression may be important for T cells to extravasate from blood into skin during immune surveillance or for retention of allergen-specific T cells in skin.

Abstract

Constitutional eczema (late atopic dermatitis) is a frequent condition: some 30% of the skin diseases seen by the GP involve constitutional eczema. A number of links with (external) factors have meanwhile been established. Patients with constitutional eczema often suffer from food allergy (over 60% of the children with the eczema) and many are allergic to airborne allergens (especially housedust mite allergen). The skin of patients with constitutional eczema has a diminished barrier function against irritants (soaps, acids, bases, water, detergents, biological juices (fruit, meat, fish, vegetables). In 90% of the patients with constitutional eczema the skin contains colonies of Staphylococcus aureus (in 5% of people without eczema). S. aureus can influence the eczema through exoantigens (so-called superantigens) and through conventional antigens that may evoke an IgE-mediated immune response. Emotional stress may influence the eczema. The close anatomical relationship between mast cells and nerve endings and between Langerhans cells and nerve endings suggest that the autonomous nervous system can modulate the immune system of the skin and consequently, the eczema. These factors should be taken into account in the treatment: reduction of exposure to food and airborne allergens and to irritants, treatment and prevention of S. aureus infections and psychological support. New therapies include cyclosporine, autologous IgG antigen complexes and phototherapy.

Abstract

Objective: The study was designed to evaluate the atopy patch test (APT) and the late-phase reaction (LPR) after intracutaneous allergen injection as models for the study of allergic inflammation in atopic eczema., Methods: Immunocytochemistry was used to analyze skin biopsy specimens from sites of APTs and LPRs at 2 and 24 hours and to compare these with lesional and nonlesional skin of patients with atopic eczema., Results: A lack of neutrophil infiltration in specimens from both the APT and lesional skin sites was observed, whereas neutrophils were abundantly present in the specimens from LPR sites. With double-staining techniques it was demonstrated that the few neutrophils present in specimens from APT sites and in lesional skin were mostly located in intravascular areas, whereas in the LPR specimens they were located predominantly in extravascular areas. Eosinophils infiltrated at an earlier time point in the LPR as compared with the APT. Furthermore, there was a decrease of intact mast cells in the LPR site compared with the APT sites and lesional skin. No significant difference in T-cell number was observed between the two tests. Upregulation of E-selectin expression on endothelial cells occurred at an earlier time point in the LPR as compared with the APT., Conclusion: There are important differences in cellular infiltrate between the APT and the LPR. The close macroscopic and microscopic similarities between the specimens from APT sites and lesional skin of patients with atopic eczema support the argument that the APT is a more valid in vivo model with which to study allergic inflammation in atopic eczema than the LPR.

Abstract

In the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD), IgE plays an important role; and TH2 cells, producing IL-4, have been ascribed a key role in allergic diseases such as AD. To investigate the role of TH subpopulations in the onset and continuation of AD, we performed atopy patch tests (APTs) with house dust mite allergen in patients with AD. Punch biopsy specimens were taken from the APT site, and sections were immunocytochemically double-stained for IL-4 and interferon-gamma together with different membrane markers. This provides a unique model for studying the kinetics of the TH0, TH1, and TH2 responses in situ. The results show that in lesional skin interferon-gamma-positive cells predominate over IL-4-positive cells. The interferon-gamma-positive cells are mainly CD3+ and, in particular, CD4+ cells; the remainder are CD8+, RFD-1+, and RFD-7+ cells. The IL-4-positive cells are exclusively CD4+ T cells; no eosinophils or mast cells were found to stain for IL-4. With regard to the TH cell response, a clear dichotomy of the eczematous response to allergen in skin was observed. In the initiation phase IL-4 production by TH2 and TH0 cells is predominant over interferon-gamma production by TH1 and TH0 cells. In the late and chronic phases the situation is reversed and interferon-gamma production by TH1 and TH0 cells predominates over IL-4 production by TH2 and TH0 cells. Understanding the relationship between the observed biphasic response and clinical manifestation of AD is important for the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract

Background: The number of positive atopy patch test (APT) results in patients with atopic eczema (AE) varies in different studies, probably because of different test techniques. Variables that may influence the outcome of the APT were evaluated., Methods: APTs were performed in 84 patients with AE, 30 control patients with atopic disease, and 85 healthy volunteers, with house dust mite and grass pollen allergens in concentrations of 100, 1000, 10,000, and 100,000 allergenic units/ml. The influence of 0, 10, or 20 tape strippings was investigated. The tests were performed on the back and/or the antecubital fossa and evaluated after 20 minutes and 24, 48, and 72 hours. In all patients the total and specific serum IgE levels were measured., Results: The maximal number of positive APT results were obtained under the following conditions: an allergen concentration equal to 10,000 allergenic units/ml, 10 tape strippings and readings at 24 and 48 hours. Positive APT results were observed in five of 30 control patients with atopic disease and in none of 85 healthy volunteers. Statistically significantly higher total and allergen-specific serum IgE levels were found in the group of patients with AE with positive APT results., Conclusions: We recommend the previously described conditions to get an optimal method for APT. The correlation between the APT and the total and specific serum IgE suggests an important role for IgE in the reaction mechanism behind the APT.
