This study aimed to longitudinally evaluate fatigue in newly diagnosed pediatric patients with brain tumors during treatment. Methods: Primary caregivers of pediatric patients with brain tumors completed the proxy-reported Parent Fatigue Scale assessments prior to radiotherapy and weekly during radiotherapy treatment. The association between clinical factors and fatigue at each assessment was evaluated with multiple linear regressions. A comparison of fatigue between radiation modalities was also analyzed. Results: A total of 33 caregivers completed pre-radiation fatigue assessments, with 29 reporting fatigue during radiotherapy. Patients were aged 3 to 16 years (M = 8.32) at diagnosis and diagnosed with medulloblastoma (n = 23), primitive neuroectodermal tumor (n = 2), ependymoma (n = 1), germ cell tumor (n = 1), pineoblastoma (n = 1), atypical teratoid rhabdoid (n = 1), and other unspecific tumors (n = 3). Moderate-to-severe fatigue was reported for the majority of patients (31/33; 94%) during treatment. Craniospinal irradiation dose was the only significant predictor of fatigue (p < .05), but this association was restricted to the first week of therapy and was attenuated by therapy completion. Discussion: Although fatigue is often considered a long-term consequence of cranial radiotherapy, this pilot study demonstrates that moderate-to-severe fatigue is pervasive prior to radiotherapy and persists throughout treatment in pediatric patients with brain tumors, regardless of radiation modality or clinical factors. Additional research is warranted to establish a link between acute and long-term fatigue and develop interventions to mitigate this adverse outcome.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":"39 1","pages":"358 - 365"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45718731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondary aims explored relationships between CAT and emotional reactions, resilience, and posture (to investigate future potential as an objective biomarker of QOL). Methods: Children aged 3–18 years undergoing cancer treatments and a parent proxy completed the PedsQL3.0 Cancer Module, Faces Scale for emotional reactions, Resilience Scale in adolescents (>12 years), and an inclinometer to measure thoracic kyphosis before and after CAT. CAT exposure (number of sessions) was recorded. Results: Ninety-eight children with cancer (mean age 7.8 years, range 3–17) and parent proxy were enrolled. Of the 83 participants included in the final analysis, 18 received no CAT, 32 received low dose, and 33 received high dose CAT. A significant improvement in QOL was seen with high dose CAT in (slope change, p  =  .015), but the overall time by group interaction was not significant. Slope change response patterns suggested that CAT led to improved posture as compared to no CAT (time by group interaction, p  =  .044). Discussion: CAT may be an effective intervention to improve QOL in this population. Because initial evidence suggests that posture also improves with CAT, further investigation of posture as a potential objective biomarker of QOL is supported. Further study with a randomized controlled trial is warranted.","PeriodicalId":29692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Nursing","volume":"39 1","pages":"155 - 167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47087059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Symptoms include mutism and emotional lability; additional symptoms may include hypotonia, difficulty swallowing, ataxia, and changes in cognition. The recovery of children experiencing CMS symptoms can be variable. In this retrospective chart review study, we identified the presenting characteristics of CMS in a cohort of children and compared them to matched-controls who did not develop CMS and examined recovery patterns during the year after diagnosis. Methods: Patients were identified through the program database. Children between ages 3 and 18 years who had a craniotomy for a posterior fossa tumor at our institution were included. For each CMS case, two control cases were selected to match the type of central nervous system tumor, sex, age group, and surgery date. Patient characteristics were abstracted from the patient's electronic medical record and the CMS survey was used to score CMS cases. Results: Seventeen children with CMS and 34 children without CMS were included in the review. Among children with CMS, 53% experienced mutism for less than 4 weeks; ataxia persisted beyond 4 weeks for more than 88% of the children and was still present in 71% 1 year after diagnosis. Clinical characteristics did not differ between the case and control groups. Discussion: CMS symptoms interfere with the child's quality of life and ongoing development.
