  1. The Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) and Trauma Outcomes Research The PECARN is supported by cooperative agreements U03MC00001, U03MC00003, U03MC00006, U03MC00007, and U03MC00008 from the Emergency Medical Services for Children Program of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration, Department of Health and Human Services Surgical and Trauma Outcomes Research:  
Current Status and Future Directions Nathan Kuppermann, MD, MPH Departments of Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics UC Davis School of Medicine March 15th, 2013

  3. What is PECARN? • A collaborative research group of hospital EDs organized into nodes and coordinated by a Steering Committee • The infrastructure supported by funding from HRSA • PECARN works with the EMSC/MCHB/HRSA: • multi-center randomized trials • observational studies • other issues related to emergency medical services for children • Highlighted in 2006 IOM reports on the future of EMSC

  6. Ongoing PECARN Research Development • Therapeutic hypothermia in pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest • Diagnostic categorization of illnesses and injuries in the PED • Management of status epilepticus • Evaluation of abdominal trauma • Progesterone for severe TBI • Knowledge translation of TBI rules • RNA transcription biosignatures to diagnose febrile infants • Patient safety and error reduction • Quality of PEM care • Evaluation of head trauma • C-Spine immobilization • Steroids in acute bronchiolitis • The burden of mental illness and psychiatric emergencies in PED • RCT of fluids for DKA • Magnesium for sickle cell pain

  7. Childhood Head Trauma:A Neuroimaging Decision Rule Supported by grant R40MC02461-01-00 from EMSC/MCHB/HRSA

  8. The PECARN Head Injury Study Goal: to derive a clinical decision rule to accurately identify children at near zero risk of clinically important traumatic brain injury after blunt trauma with high accuracy and wide generalizability

  9. Methods • Design: • Prospective multicenter study over 28 mo. (6/04 – 9/06) in 25 sites in PECARN • Inclusion Criteria: • Age < 18 years with head trauma evaluated in ED • Exclusion Criteria: • Ground-level mechanisms and no symptoms or signs of TBI • Penetrating trauma • Injury > 24 hours old • Pre-existing neurological disease impeding assessment • Transfer with neuroimaging already performed

  10. Outcome Definition Clinically-important TBI (ciTBI) • Death from TBI • Neurosurgical procedure • Intubation for > 24 hours for head injury • Positive CT in association with hospitalization > 2 nights

  11. Variables Considered • GCS (14 vs. 15) • Other mental status • Agitated • Sleepy • Slow to respond • Repetitive • Palpable skull fx signs • Basilar skull fx signs • Bulging fontanelle • Scalp hematoma (location, size, quality) • Focal neurological deficit • Other system injuries • Evidence of intoxication • Age in years • 3-level mechanism severity • High risk • MVC - ejection, rollover, death • Ped or unhelmeted bicyclist struck by motorized vehicle • Fall > 5 feet (> 3 feet if < 2 yrs) • High impact / projectile • Amnesia (if > 2 yrs) • LOC (duration) • Seizure • Acting normal per parent • Headache (severity, location) if > 2 yrs • Emesis (number, timing)

  12. Results 57,030 eligible 2,869 GCS <14 or other exclusion 54,161 GCS 14-15 Not enrolled Enrolled 42,412(78.3%) 11,749 (21.7%) Validation 8,627 Derivation 33,785 288 ciTBI (0.9%) 88 ciTBI (1.0%)

  15. The PECARN TBI Rules (derived and validated) Children are at very low risk of clinically-important traumatic brain injury (TBI) if they meet all criteria in age-specific rule:

  16. Under 2 years Over 2 years

  17. Recommendations for children younger than 2 The Rule

  18. Recommendations for children younger than 2 Suggestions

  19. Recommendations for children 2 years and older The Rule

  20. Recommendations for children 2 years and older Suggestions

  21. PECARN Clinical Prediction Rulefor Abdominal CT in Pediatric Trauma • Prospective multicenter study 2007 - 2010 • < 18 years with blunt abdominal trauma • Clinical data recorded before abd CT (if done) • Follow-up obtained on all patients: • Discharged patient: telephone follow-up • Admitted patients: medical record review • Primary outcome: IAI requiring therapy (IAIAI) • Recursive partitioning analysis • 761 (6.3%) with IAI and 203 (1.7%) with IAIAI

  22. Prediction Rule for IAIAI (n=12,044) Abdominal Wall Trauma 1,963 patients 112 (5.7%) IAIAI Sensitivity = 197/203 (97.0%; 95% CI 93.7, 98.9%) Specificity = 5028/11841 (42.5%; 95% CI 41.6, 43.4%) NPV = 5028/5034 (99.9%; 95% CI 99.7, 100%) LR- = 0.07 (95% CI 0.03, 0.15) No 826 patients 38 (4.6%) IAIAI GCS < 14 No 2,532 patients 36 (1.4%) IAIAI Abdomen tender No 955 patients 6 (0.6%) IAIAI Thoracic Trauma No Abdominal pain 305 patients 2 (0.7%) IAIAI No ↓ Breath Sounds 34 patients 1 (2.9%) IAIAI No Emesis 395 patients 2 (0.5%) IAIAI No 1,234 CT scans (25%) 5,034 patients 6 (0.1%) IAIAI

  23. Holmes/Kuppermann, 2013

  24. How to get clinicians to use the prediction rules?

  25. Knowledge Translation Pipeline • EBM – continuum here Glasziou/Haynes, 2005

  26. Translating Research into Practice What works Clinical decision support more successful when: • Automatic provision of support in workflow • Recommendations given rather than risks • Support given at the time and location of decision-making • Support is computer based Kawamoto, 2005

  27. Implementation of the PECARN Traumatic Brain Injury Prediction Rules Using Electronic Health Record-Based Clinical Decision Support: An Interrupted Time Series Trial Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – Office of the Secretary: Grant #S02MC19289-01-00

  28. Data Completion by Nursing If Triage RN enters “Yes-less than 24 hours ago” items for risk assessment will be cascade

  30. Clinical Decision Support • Clinician receives a statement no matter what is entered • Formatted similarly across statements • Recommendation • Risk estimate of clinically-important TBI based on PECARN data • Details regarding recommendations/risks • List of predictors and responses • Links to useful information(e.g. the prediction rules)

  31. Decision Support: Patient < 2 years who meets rule

  32.
