Sleep-wake disturbances after acquired brain injury in children surviving critical care.
Sleep-wake disturbances are underevaluated among children with acquired brain injury surviving critical care. In this prospective cohort study, the investigators aimed to quantify severity, phenotypes, and risk factors for sleep-wake disturbances. The investigators concluded that over half of children surviving critical care with acquired brain injury have sleep-wake disturbances. They indicated that many sleep-wake disturbances phenotypes were identified, but most children had disturbance in initiation and maintenance of sleep.

If you build it, they will come: Initial experience with a multi-disciplinary pediatric neurocritical care follow-up clinic.
To address morbidities in Pediatric Neurocritical Care survivors, collaboration between Pediatric Neurology and Pediatric Critical Care created a multidisciplinary follow-up clinic providing specialized evaluations after discharge. Clinic referrals applied to all Pediatric Neurocritical Care patients regardless of admission severity of illness. Here, the authors report an initial case series, which revealed a population that is heterogenous in age, ranging from 1 month to 18 years, and in diagnoses.
