RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The importance of assessing family satisfaction in paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) is becoming increasingly recognised. The survey, EMpowerment of Parents in THe Intensive Care "EMPATHIC-30", was designed to assess family satisfaction and has been translated and implemented in several countries but not yet in Japan. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the EMPATHIC-30 questionnaire in Japanese and to identify potential factors for family-centred care satisfaction. METHODS: We translated and adapted for patient-reported outcome measures via a 10-step process outlined by the Principles of Good Practice. Four paediatric PICUs in Japan participated in the validation study, and the parental enrolment criterion was a child with a PICU stay of >24 h. Reliability was measured by Cronbach's α, and congruent validity was tested with overall satisfaction-with-care scales by correlation analysis. Multivariate linear regression modelling was conducted to identify factors related to each domain of the Japanese EMPATHIC-30. RESULTS: A total of 163 parents (mean age: 31.9 ± 5.4 years; 81% were mothers) participated. The five domains of the Japanese EMPATHIC-30 showed high reliability (α = 0.87 to 0.97) and congruent validity, demonstrating high correlations with overall satisfaction in nurses (r = 0.75) and doctors (r = 0.76). Multivariate modelling found that elective admission, mechanical ventilation, and parents who had experience of a family member in an adult intensive care unit had higher satisfaction scores in all five domains (p < 0.05). Moreover, Buddhists assigned higher satisfaction scores in the Care and Treatment domain (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: The Japanese EMPATHIC-30 questionnaire has demonstrated adequate reliability and validity measures. We also identified that elective admission, mechanical ventilation, and having previous adult intensive care unit experience of a family member were factors in assigning higher scores for all satisfaction domains. PICU clinicians need to be cognisant of ethical, cultural, and religious factors relating to the critically ill child and their family.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Information on the implementation of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) is limited. We investigated the real-world practice of this therapy in Japan. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 26 hospitals with PICUs in Japan. One physician per hospital responded to the questionnaire. RESULTS: Fewer than half of the hospitals followed the CRRT practice guidelines; treatment options were often selected at a physician's discretion. PICUs varied widely in continuous renal replacement settings, circuit priming methods, frequency of circuit exchange, and policies for using CRRT in sepsis. Only two anticoagulants were used: nafamostat mesylate and unfractionated heparin. Most units did not change the nutritional dosage according to CRRT use. Many facilities were proactive concerning rehabilitation. CONCLUSION: Nafamostat-centered anticoagulation management was unique to Japan. Our results may help identify areas where additional clinical studies are needed to standardize CRRT practice.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill children is rapidly increasing, but the standard of care has not yet been established and prognosis remains poor. To develop optimal CRRT strategies, we launched a research project generating the Japanese Pediatric CRRT registry, a multicenter registry of CRRT in Japanese pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), to investigate the actual status of CRRT in recent years in PICUs, where data are lacking. METHODS: This manuscript presents a protocol for planning a multicenter prospective registry. As of April 2023, 15 Japanese PICUs are voluntarily participating. Patients enrolled are those <16 years of age who enter the PICUs of the collaborating institutions, require CRRT, and have the guardians' consent. CRRT is defined as anticipated to be required for >24 hours, and CRRT connected to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is also included. The registry is an online registry system managed by the University Hospital Medical Information Network. The primary outcomes are Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category Scale at PICU discharge and 6 months post-discharge (deaths included), persistent need for dialysis, and PICU readmission within 6 months. The secondary outcomes are adverse events during and immediately after CRRT initiation, and initial circuit life span. CONCLUSIONS: This project will examine the differences in outcomes of CRRT in PICUs in specific patient and treatment groups and will be used to design future interventional studies. We will also aim to establish a platform for a multicenter registry study in Japanese PICUs, considering the current lack of such a platform.
