Trial Outcomes & Findings for CoolCap Followup Study-Coordination of Participating Centers (NCT NCT00581581)

NCT ID: NCT00581581

Last Updated: 2013-03-08

Results Overview

WeeFIM instrument (the Functional Independence Measure for Children, Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation, Buffalo, NY) is a set of ratings of 18 skills divided into 3 general domains: 8 Self-care; 5 Mobility; 5 Cognition. Caregivers rate a child about extent of independence, full functioning, in carrying out each of those 18 skills, on a scale from "1" for total assistance, total dependence, maximal prompting, or not testable to "7" for complete independence. The ratings are combined to yield 3 Domain scores and a WeeFIM Total. Favorable=mean+/-2SD. We are reporting the percentage of participants with a favorable response.

Participant Flow

Individuals who participated in the parent study (CoolCap) were invited to participate in this follow-up study when they were 7-8 years old. Site investigators contacted prior participants' families by phone for consent. Contact information for the families who consented was provided to a central examiner.

Observational study - determination of outcome at 7-8 years after prior randomization in parent study to therapeutic hypothermia vs standard of care for infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy who met eligibility requirements.
