Purpose: The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) screening tool captures some experiences of childhood adversity, ranging from abuse to parental separation. Research has shown a correlation between ACEs and both adult and childhood disease. This study evaluated the feasibility of conducting ACE screening in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and investigated associations with markers for severity of illness and utilization of resources. Methods: This was a cross sectional study screening for ACEs among children admitted to a single quaternary medical-surgical PICU. Children age 0–18 years old admitted to the PICU over a one-year period were considered for enrollment. A 10-question ACE screen was used to evaluate children for exposure to ACEs. Chart review was used to collect demographic and clinical data. Results: Of the 432 parents approached for enrollment, 400 (92.6%) agreed to participate. Most parents reported an ACE score of zero (68.9%) while 31% of participants experienced at least 1 ACE, of whom 14.8% experienced ≥ 2 ACEs. There was not a statistically significant association between ACE score and length of stay (p-value = 0.26) or level of respiratory support in patients with asthma (p-value = 0.15) or bronchiolitis (p-value = 0.83). The primary reasons for not approaching families were parent availability, non-English speaking parents, and social work concerns. Conclusions: This study demonstrates feasibility to collect sensitive psychosocial data in the PICU and highlights challenges to enrollment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
