Description
An account of the resource
INTRODUCTION: Delayed discussion of a patient's code status can lead to shortsighted care plans that increase hospital length of stay (LOS) and costs., METHODS: Retrospective study compared intensive care unit (ICU) patients who accepted verses rejected palliation and examined the relationships between 5 predictor variables with the outcome variables ICU LOS and total hospital LOS, and total direct and variable hospital cost., RESULTS: A significant number of patients who accepted palliative care agreed to a hospice referral or expired in the hospital. The relationships between days until a family conference, do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order, and the number of invasive procedures were significant., CONCLUSIONS: The amount of time that expires until the issue of code status was settled to clearly related to utilization of hospital resources.

BACKGROUND: Missing data present a challenge to many research projects. The problem is often pronounced in studies utilizing self-report scales, and literature addressing different strategies for dealing with missing data in such circumstances is scarce. The objective of this study was to compare six different imputation techniques for dealing with missing data in the Zung Self-reported Depression scale (SDS). METHODS: 1580 participants from a surgical outcomes study completed the SDS. The SDS is a 20 question scale that respondents complete by circling a value of 1 to 4 for each question. The sum of the responses is calculated and respondents are classified as exhibiting depressive symptoms when their total score is over 40. Missing values were simulated by randomly selecting questions whose values were then deleted (a missing completely at random simulation). Additionally, a missing at random and missing not at random simulation were completed. Six imputation methods were then considered; 1) multiple imputation, 2) single regression, 3) individual mean, 4) overall mean, 5) participant's preceding response, and 6) random selection of a value from 1 to 4. For each method, the imputed mean SDS score and standard deviation were compared to the population statistics. The Spearman correlation coefficient, percent misclassified and the Kappa statistic were also calculated. RESULTS: When 10% of values are missing, all the imputation methods except random selection produce Kappa statistics greater than 0.80 indicating 'near perfect' agreement. MI produces the most valid imputed values with a high Kappa statistic (0.89), although both single regression and individual mean imputation also produced favorable results. As the percent of missing information increased to 30%, or when unbalanced missing data were introduced, MI maintained a high Kappa statistic. The individual mean and single regression method produced Kappas in the 'substantial agreement' range (0.76 and 0.74 respectively). CONCLUSION: Multiple imputation is the most accurate method for dealing with missing data in most of the missind data scenarios we assessed for the SDS. Imputing the individual's mean is also an appropriate and simple method for dealing with missing data that may be more interpretable to the majority of medical readers. Researchers should consider conducting methodological assessments such as this one when confronted with missing data. The optimal method should balance validity, ease of interpretability for readers, and analysis expertise of the research team.

Description
An account of the resource
The Paediatric Pain Profile (PPP) is a 20-item behaviour rating scale designed to assess pain in children with severe neurological disability. We assessed the validity and reliability of the scale in 140 children (76 females, mean age 9 years 11 months, SD 4 years 7 months; range 1 to 18 years), unable to communicate through speech or augmentative communication. Parents used the PPP to rate retrospectively their child's behaviour when 'at their best' and when in pain. To assess interrater reliability, two raters concurrently observed and individually rated each child's behaviour. To assess construct validity and responsiveness of the scale, behaviour of 41 children was rated before and for four hours after administration of an 'as required' analgesic. Behaviour of 30 children was rated before surgery and for five days after. Children had significantly higher scores when reported to have pain than 'at their best' and scores increased in line with global evaluations of pain. Internal consistency ranged from 0.75 to 0.89 (Cronbach's alpha) and interrater reliability from 0.74 to 0.89 (intraclass correlation). Sensitivity (1.00) and specificity (0.91) were optimized at a cut-off of 14/60. PPP score was significantly greater before administration of the analgesic than after (paired-sample t-tests, p<0.001). Though there was no significant difference in mean pre- and postoperative scores, highest PPP score occurred in the first 24 hours after surgery in 14 (47%) children. Results suggest that the PPP is reliable and valid and has potential for use both clinically and in intervention research.

Description
An account of the resource
The kinetics of morphine in the plasma of children (0 to 15 yr) can in most cases be adequately described by a triexponential function. When the dosage in children receiving morphine as premedication before surgery is based on kilograms of body weight, there are only minor differences in the kinetic patterns of morphine at different ages (0 to 1, 1 to 7, and 7 to 15 yr). No significant difference in the morphine kinetics was observed between patients (7 to 15 yr) receiving the drug only as premedication and those who also received doses during surgery. The minimum morphine concentration in plasma necessary to suppress the clinical signs of pain during surgery was found to be 65 ng/ml (95% confidence limits of 46 to 83 ng/ml). Based on these minimum effective plasma levels of morphine, there does not seem to be any difference between children of different ages in their sensitivity to morphine. No difference was found in the minimum effective level of morphine when clinical signs of pain were observed by different anesthesiologists.
