ABSTRACT

Introduction:

To evaluate the effect of the Preschoolers Functional Development National Program (FDPN) is of fundamental interest to Teleton Chile (ITCh).

Objectives:

To estimate the adherence and the effect in functionality of FDPN in preschool children with cerebral palsy (CP) without mayor cognitive impairment according to age, diagnosis, ITCh, and socioeconomic status. Patients and

Methods:

We studied a cohort of preschool children with PC from 3 to 5.9 years in FDPN, 2007-2009. The adherence to the program, with the dates of assessments as a time scale, was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier statistics. The effect on functionality was measured using WeeFIM at admission, discharge and in a four month follow-up. The goal was achieved when an increase of four points was observed in functionality.

Results:

Of 498 preschoolers, 37.6 percent completed the follow-up, the overall median of the follow-up time was 148 days (IC95 percent 146,4-150,6), which differs significantly according to ITCh. In the 187 preschool children who completed the follow-up, on average 74.3 percent achieved progress in the motor area and 58.8 percent in cognition. The behavior of the achievements is similar in motor and cognitive areas according to age, topographic diagnosis and socioeconomic status.

Limitations:

It was assumed that the study factors of the children who were follow do not differed from those who left the study.

Conclusions:

The high dropout from the program puts in evidence the lack of compliance of the program’s objectives. The median time of adherence to FDPN is relatively higher than expected. In children who completed the PNDF, there are advances in functionality, lower than expected. This program needs to be refocused, seeking to increase the adherence, a greater effectiveness in the cognitive area and a higher impact on the family.
RESUMEN

Introducción:

Evaluar el efecto del Programa Nacional de Desarrollo Funcional de Preescolares (PNDF), es de fundamental interés para Teletón Chile (ITCh).

Objetivos:

Estimar adherencia y efecto en funcionalidad del PNDF en preescolares con parálisis cerebral (PC) sin compromiso cognitivo mayor según edad, diagnóstico, ITCh y nivel socioeconómico. Pacientes y

Métodos:

Se estudia cohorte de preescolares con PC de 3 a 5,9 años en PNDF, años 2007-2009. La adherencia al programa, con las fechas de evaluaciones como escala del tiempo, se analiza mediante estadística Kaplan-Meir. El efecto en funcionalidad, se mide con WeeFIM al ingreso, alta y seguimiento de cuatro meses. Se logra el objetivo, cuando se aumenta cuatro puntos en funcionalidad.

Resultados:

De 498 preescolares, 37,6 por ciento completa el seguimiento; la mediana global del tiempo de seguimiento es de 148 días (IC95 por ciento146,4-150,6), que difiere significativamente según ITCh. En 187 preescolares que completan el seguimiento, en promedio 74,3 por ciento logran progresos en área motora y 58,8 por ciento en cognición. El comportamiento de los logros es similar en áreas motora y cognoscitiva según edad, diagnóstico topográfico y estrato socioeconómico. Limitaciones se asumió que los niños en seguimiento, no diferían según factores en estudio de aquellos que abandonaron.

Conclusiones:

La alta deserción al programa evidencia falta de cumplimiento de objetivos. La mediana del tiempo de adherencia al PNDF es relativamente mayor a lo esperado. En niños que terminaron el PNDF existen progresos en funcionalidad por debajo de lo estimado. Se necesita reenfocar este programa, buscando aumentar la adherencia, tener mayor efectividad en lo cognitivo e impacto en la familia.
