Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Cross-Sectional PRSA
This will be a cross-sectional analysis of children with neurological impairment and polypharmacy.
Parent-Reported Symptom Assessment
As the basis for PRSA, the investigator will use the PediQuest Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (PQ-MSAS), which is an adapted pediatric-specific version of the validated adult MSAS that assesses 28 physical and psychological symptoms over the past week. The study instrument is designed to be completed by a full-proxy parent, and 2 versions tailored for specific age groups are available (0-3, 3-18 years-old). Spanish versions are available for both instruments. The PQ-MSAS contains 28 symptom items, each with 4-point scores for domains of frequency, severity, and extent of bother. Based on these components, a global symptom score and individual symptom scores can be calculated (0-100 scale, with 100 being the worst).
