Grace Cushman, Ana M. Gutierrez‐Colina, Jennifer L. Lee, Kristin Loiselle Rich, more

Pediatric Transplantation > 25 > 7 > n/a - n/a

Background It is widely assumed that pediatric solid organ transplantation results in better caregiver‐reported outcomes, including reduced caregiver psychological distress and increased child health‐related quality of life (HRQOL), yet little empirical evidence of this expectation exists. The current investigation aims to fill this gap and identify key clinical course factors predictive of caregiver‐reported...

Pretransplant patient, parent, and family psychosocial functioning varies by organ type and patient age

Cyd K. Eaton, Jennifer L. Lee, Kristin A. Loiselle, Bonney Reed‐Knight, more

Pediatric Transplantation > 20 > 8 > 1137 - 1147

The goal of this study was to compare pretransplant patient HRQOL, parent psychological functioning, and the impact of the patient's ongoing illness on the family between organ types (ie, kidney, liver, heart) and age‐groups (ie, children, AYAs). The sample included 80 pediatric patients with end‐stage organ disease who were evaluated for transplantation and their parents. Parents completed self‐...

The Influence of Environmental Consequences and Internalizing Symptoms on Children’s Tic Severity

Cyd K. Eaton, Anna M. Jones, Ana M. Gutierrez-Colina, Emily K. Ivey, more

Child Psychiatry & Human Development > 2017 > 48 > 2 > 327-334

Although there is evidence that environmental consequences for displaying tics and internalizing symptoms are related to tic severity in children with TS, less is known about the inter-relationships of these variables or how these factors jointly contribute to tic severity. This study included 45 children with Tourette syndrome. Caregivers reported on children’s environmental consequences for displaying...

Changes in Socio-Emotional and Behavioral Functioning After Attending a Camp for Children with Tourette Syndrome: A Preliminary Investigation

Cyd K. Eaton, Julia LaMotte, Ana M. Gutierrez-Colina, Patricia Kardon, more

Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology > 2016 > 44 > 6 > 1197-1203

Children and adolescents with Tourette syndrome are at risk for social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties that may negatively influence feelings of self-competence and attitudes toward having this diagnosis. Attending a camp for children with Tourette syndrome may facilitate improvements in overall socio-emotional and behavioral functioning and self-perception. The current study obtained data...

Longitudinal stability of medication adherence among adolescent solid organ transplant recipients

Kristin A. Loiselle, Ana M. Gutierrez‐Colina, Cyd K. Eaton, Laura E. Simons, more

Pediatric Transplantation > 19 > 4 > 428 - 435

Solid organ transplantation requires ongoing adherence to immunosuppressants and other medications. Although adolescence is a risk factor for poor medication‐taking, little is known about the patterns of adherence within individuals over time. This study aimed to examine the stability of adherence over time using three different assessment techniques. Sixty‐six AYA transplant recipients and/or their...

Health Related Quality of Life and Social Support in Pediatric Patients with Pacemakers

Patricia Cheng, Ana M. Gutierrez-Colina, Kristin A. Loiselle, Margaret Strieper, more

Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings > 2014 > 21 > 1 > 92-102

Prior research evaluating health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among pediatric patients with internal cardiac devices has primarily focused on children with cardiac defibrillators, with scant attention devoted to pacemaker recipients. Social support has been conceptualized as a protective factor that partially accounts for differences in HRQOL. This study compares the HRQOL of children with pacemakers...

Electroencephalogram Monitoring in Critically Ill Children: Indications and Strategies

Ana M. Gutierrez-Colina, Alexis A. Topjian, Dennis J. Dlugos, Nicholas S. Abend

Pediatric Neurology > 2012 > 46 > 3 > 158-161

Continuous electroencephalographic monitoring often detects nonconvulsive seizures in critically ill children, but it is resource-intense and has not been demonstrated to improve outcomes. As institutions develop clinical pathways for monitoring, they should consider how seemingly minor variations may exert substantial impacts on resource utilization and cost. In our 1-month prospective observational...

Impact of Continuous EEG Monitoring on Clinical Management in Critically Ill Children

Nicholas S. Abend, Alexis A. Topjian, Ana M. Gutierrez-Colina, Maureen Donnelly, more

Neurocritical Care > 2011 > 15 > 1 > 70-75

Background Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring is being used with increasing frequency in critically ill patients, most often to detect non-convulsive seizures. While cEEG is non-invasive and feasible in the critical care setting, it is also expensive and labor intensive, and there has been little study of its impact on clinical care. We aimed to determine prospectively the impact of cEEG on clinical...

Sudha Kilaru Kessler, Alexis A. Topjian, Ana M. Gutierrez-Colina, Rebecca N. Ichord, more

Neurocritical Care > 2011 > 14 > 1 > 37-43

Background Electroencephalographic (EEG) features may provide objective data regarding prognosis in children resuscitated from cardiac arrest (CA), but therapeutic hypothermia (TH) may impact its predictive value. We aimed to determine whether specific EEG features were predictive of short-term outcome in children treated with TH after CA, both during hypothermia and after return to normothermia....
