“…Of these, all except two (Janssens et al 2009; van der Sluis et al 1997) found reductions in overall HRQOL in their injured samples at at least their initial evaluation point. Additionally, Soori and Abachizadeh (2008) found significant associations between overall HRQOL and having experienced a traumatic injury in the previous year.…”

“…Six studies reported on overall HRQOL in children and adolescents after traumatic injury (Holbrook et al 2007; Janssens et al 2009; Landolt et al 2009b; Sturms et al 2002; van der Sluis et al 1997; Vollrath and Landolt 2005). Of these, all except two (Janssens et al 2009; van der Sluis et al 1997) found reductions in overall HRQOL in their injured samples at at least their initial evaluation point.…”

“…Finally, Aitken et al (2002) compared overall HRQOL in their injured sample to published means for chronically ill children and found that their sample of injured adolescents had deficits that were similarly substantial to all of the available populations (Aitken et al 2002). Importantly, the two studies reporting no significant difference were conducted the longest time after injury, 6 to 8 (Janssens et al 2009) and 7 to 11 (van der Sluis et al 1997) years, respectively.…”

“…Improvements over the first few years after injury do seem to occur but may not result in return to baseline levels of functioning. The van der Sluis et al (1997) and Janssens et al (2009) studies suggests that improvement to normative HRQOL may occur over an extended period of time after injury, but additional studies with a similarly long duration of follow-up are needed.…”

“…A fifth measure was utilized in one study that followed study participants into adulthood, 7 to 11 years following their initial injury (van der Sluis et al 1997). The RAND-36 Short Form Health Survey contains the same 36 items as the well-validated and reliable MOS SF-36 (Ware and Sherbourne 1992) but has a slightly different scoring protocol (Hays et al 1993).…”

This paper comprehensively reviews the published literature investigating HRQOL following general traumatic injury in individuals between birth and 18 years. Studies were not considered if they primarily compared medical treatment options, evaluated physical function but not other aspects of HRQOL, or focused on non-traumatic wounds. Specific injury types (e.g., burn injury) were also not included. A total of 16 studies met criteria. Participants were age 1 to 18 years, with 12 studies considering children 5 years of age or older. Males were overrepresented. Injury severity averaged mostly in the moderate range. HRQOL deficits were noted in injured samples in all studies except the two with the longest time to follow-up (6-11 years). Some improvement was seen 6 months to 2 years after injury. Factors associated with HRQOL deficits were investigated, with acute and posttraumatic stress symptoms showing the strongest relationship. Research to date in this area is impressive, particularly the number of studies using prospective longitudinal investigations and validated measures. Challenges remain regarding methodologic differences, assessment of preinjury status, retention of participants and management of missing data. Suggested future directions include extension of follow-up duration, utilization of pediatric self-report when possible, inclusion of younger children, and development of intervention programs.

Incorporating short‐term outcome information to predict long‐term survival with discrete markers

2011

In disease screening and prognosis studies, an important task is to determine useful markers for identifying high-risk subgroups. Once such markers are established, they can be incorporated into public health practice to provide appropriate strategies for treatment or disease monitoring based on each individual’s predicted risk. In the recent years, genetic and biological markers have been examined extensively for their potential to signal progression or risk of disease. In addition to these markers, it has often been argued that short-term outcomes may be helpful in making a better prediction of disease outcomes in clinical practice. In this paper we propose model-free non-parametric procedures to incorporate short-term event information to improve the prediction of a long-term terminal event. We include the optional availability of a single discrete marker measurement and assess the additional information gained by including the short-term outcome. We focus on the semi-competing risk setting where the short-term event is an intermediate event that may be censored by the terminal event while the terminal event is only subject to administrative censoring. Simulation studies suggest that the proposed procedures perform well in finite samples. Our procedures are illustrated using a data set of post-dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease.

Pediatric Polytrauma

Abstract: Although the short-term impact of injuries is extensive, the long-term outcomes are satisfactory. Severe injuries sustained during childhood do not lead to a diminished quality of life during adulthood.
