There is a paucity of research on the relationship between adverse childhood events (ACEs) and chronic kidney disease. The effect of ACEs on the long-term health outcomes of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic lung disease first emerged in a paper published in 1998. The National Institutes of Health sponsored the ACE Study, which Kaiser Permanente carried out in California. The study used a 17-question survey addressing seven exposures: psychological, physical, contact-sexual abuse, substance abuse, mental illness, mother being treated violently, and criminal behavior in the household. The results revealed a strong relationship between childhood exposure to ACEs and health outcomes. …

Bal-A-Vis-X Intervention To Improve Upper Limb Coordination In Children With Disability: A Pilot Study, Marta Boot, Zoe Clark, Kyla Hill, Mckenzie Stefanoff, Betsy Donahoe Fillmore, Trisha Renner, Bo Slutz, Mary I. Fisher
University of Dayton Doctor of Physical Therapy Annual Research Symposium
Purpose/Hypothesis: Balance/Auditory/Vision exercises (Bal-A-Vis-X) consists of a series of exercises using sand-filled bags and racquet balls. Most of the exercises are completed while standing on a rocker board and heavily rooted in rhythm. The rhythmic patterns are utilized to facilitate focused concentration, crossing midline, motor planning, right/left awareness, eye-hand coordination, balance, bilateral coordination, body and spatial awareness. Only a few published studies have explored Bal-A-Vis-X as an intervention in therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of Bal-A-Vis-X to improve upper limb coordination in children with motor delays.
Number of Subjects: Fifteen children with motor delays …

Background: Healthcare waste, including overuse of treatments or testing such as unnecessary diagnostic imaging, has estimated annual costs of over $760 billion in the United States. The most prevalent and costly imaging studies among hospitalized children are not known. Objective: To describe diagnostic imaging studies among hospitalized children with the highest prevalence, cost, rates of repetition, and hospital variation to help inform de-implementation efforts. Design/Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of children <18 years of age hospitalized from 1/1/2021 to 12/31/2022 across 45 hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information System. We identified all radiologic imaging for inpatient and observation encounters using billing codes. We grouped images by modality and body location, and excluded images classified as other/unspecified body location. The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to measure variation across hospitals in imaging use after adjusting for age and severity. Higher numbers indicate a higher degree of variation. Results: We identified 1,523,343 encounters; 59.1% had diagnostic imaging (Table 1). The most prevalent diagnostic imaging studies were chest x-ray (XR), abdominal XR, and echocardiogram. The images most frequently repeated were chest XR, echocardiogram, and abdominal XR. The costliest individual diagnostic imaging studies were echocardiogram, chest XR, and head/brain MRI (Table 2). Although chest XR was among the least expensive imaging modalities per unit cost, given the high prevalence of use and repeat use it was one of the costliest tests overall. Head US, interventional XR, and abdominal US had the highest variability of use between hospitals (Table 2, Figure). Conclusion(s): Chest XR and echocardiograms were among the most prevalent, costly, and frequently repeated imaging studies. Abdominal XR, abdominal ultrasound, bone/joint XR, head/brain CT, and head/brain MRI were high in both prevalence and cost among hospitalized children. Five of the 10 most commonly used imaging techniques and four of the 10 most commonly repeated imaging techniques expose children to ionizing radiation. These results could help identify areas that should be targeted to reduce radiation exposure, improve care, and decrease costs for hospitalized children.

A Program To Help At Home: Social Skill For Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Naomi Solomon, Mary Jan Greer, Justine Faghihifar
Spring 2024 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium
The Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) typically presents in early childhood with delayed or abnormal functioning and according to the CDC (2022), 1 in 44 children have been diagnosed across all demographics. With these high prevalence rates, occupational therapy can be an asset in ASD through a client-centered approach. The problem is the lack of generalization of skills used in the clinic to the home environment to develop and maintain social skills in children with ASD for social participation. This capstone used program development to demonstrate the impact group sessions have on social skills for a child diagnosed with autism by …

Occupational Impact Of Caregivers In Pediatric Palliative Care, Lezlye Ramos, Karen Park, Jazminne O. Arteaga
Spring 2024 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium
The purpose of this study is to understand the occupational impact for caregivers who had a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition who had received pediatric palliative care. A lack of understanding of occupational therapy’s role in end-of-life care ultimately underutilizes and under-prepares occupational therapists to work in this practice area. Becoming a medical family caregiver, neglecting personal needs and desires becomes a norm having a in-direct effect on physical and psychological health and well-being. Findings from this study suggest that it is reasonable to infer that occupational participation among caregivers is influenced by finding time for self and …

Background: The pharmacological choice for continuous anticoagulation therapy in pediatric patients has classically been unfractionated heparin. However, with heparin there are risks of treatment resistance in pediatrics given differences in developmental hemostasis, and contemporary medications such as bivalirudin offer a valuable alternative. Bivalirudin binds to thrombin and has shown encouraging results compared to heparin in pediatric patients receiving ECMO, but no comparison has been made in patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation. Three years ago, Children’s Mercy Pediatric Hematology department encouraged bivalirudin use over heparin use for therapeutic anticoagulation requiring a continuous infusion. Objectives: Compare clinical and laboratory outcomes in patients receiving …

The Ci-Asd Program: Implementation Of Contextual Interventions For Autism Spectrum Disorder (Ci-Asd) With Latino Families (Preliminary Report), Gabriel Gonzalez, Erik Pérez, Angela Blackwell
Spring 2024 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium
Children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience sensory processing differences that affect their participation in daily activities and routines. Autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children in the U.S. However, Latino children are diagnosed two years later than white children. Latino families still have the greatest disparities in accessing ASD resources throughout the U.S. compared to white families. The lack of ASD services and resources led to decreased parental self-efficacy, quality of life, and increased child behavioral problems.
Contextual Interventions Adapted for Autism Spectrum Disorder (CI-ASD) are an emerging intervention for occupational therapy (OT) practitioners. Recent literature shows …
