Abstract

Background and aimsThe aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of Turkish version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) developed by Kowalski et al....

Highlights

  • Venipuncture pain in children results from several factors, which amplify the nociceptive stimulus; among them anticipatory anxiety plays an important role

  • Goal To evaluate whether a difference exists in pain threshold between children with a chronic disease and children with no previous experience of procedural pain

  • The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of Turkish version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) developed by Kowalski et al The PAQ-C is a validated self-report measure of physical activity widely used to assess physical activity in children (8–14 years of age)

Summary

Background

Induced hypothermia treatment (HT) for 72 hours reduces the risk of neurological sequele in asphyxiated full-term infants. Pathological findings on postnatal MRI of the brain have been shown to correlate to the prognosis. This population-based study investigates the correlation between pathological findings in MRI of the brain after HT and neuromotor outcome at 12 months of age in asphyxiated full-term infants with HIE. Methods In Stockholm, between January 2006 and December 2009, all infants fulfilling A- and B-criteria for HT were included. MRI of the brain was done within 2 weeks from birth. Neurological assessment was done at 4 and 12 months of age. Patterns of injury on MRI were defined based on the predominant site of injury: Watershed predominant (WS), basal ganglia/thalamus predominant (BG/T), general/global lesions (G) and normal
