Summary
Brief summary
INTRODUCTION: Due to the low incidence of pediatric spinal cord injury (SCI) and the high
demand for knowledge and research, international cooperation is needed to build a solid and
shared understanding of the extent of the problem, and also uniformity in treatment and
measurement methods. The aim of the study is to map organization of care and rehabilitation
of children and adolescents < 18 years of age with SCI, to explore qualitatively psychosocial
aspects of individuals and to establish use of common outcome measures in 10 rehabilitation
units from seven countries, cooperating within the Sunnaas International Network in
Rehabilitation (SIN); China, USA, Russia, Israel, Palestine, Norway and Sweden.

METHOD: In Phase I two cross-sectional studies will be conducted to set the scene for the
outcome studies following in Phase II (2020-2022). Phase I consists of a quantitative
descriptive study using a websurvey to describe and compare the systems of care and delivery
of inpatient rehabilitation services for pediatric SCI patients. In addition, a qualitative
study will explore the psychosocial aspects of living with a childhood acquired SCI. Two
adolescents, aged 13-17 years and at least 6 months post-acute treatment, from each unit will
interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. Ethical approval has been applied for in
each unit, and the study is registered at ClinicalTrial-gov. A workshop for the 24 study team
members, where the main focus was to ensure that data collection is conducted in a good
manner, was held in May 2018, and data collection is expected finalized by 2020. Phase II
(planning stage) will consist of methodological outcome studies.

DISCUSSION: Phase I of the study will broaden the body of knowledge on pediatric SCI
internationally, thus enabling comparison, discussion and development of organizational
models and quality of care and rehabilitation for young persons with SCI. Phase II will
contribute to the use of common and reliable outcome measures for these patients.
