About this study

Official title: Prognostic Factors for Sequelae in Children With a History of Shaken Baby Syndrome in the Central Region

This is an observational, prognostic and prospective study. It is about the Prognostic Factors for sequelae in children with a history of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) in the Central region in France. The study hypothesis is the prognosis of the sequelae children develop according to the severity criteria presents in admission to the hospital for the Shaken Baby Syndrome. The severity criteria are clinical high intracranial pressure, presence of a coma, vitreous hemorrhage, an age under 6 months, other cerebral lesion than subdural hematoma (parenchymal lesion, ischemia or cerebral oedema). Children affected by the nonaccidental head injury are today between five and eight years old.

Read the detailed description

Abusive head trauma is a severe inflicted traumatic brain injury, occuring under the age of 1 year, defined by an acute brain injury (mostly subdural or subarachnoidal haemorrhage), where no history or no compatible history with the clinical presentation is given.

This is secondary to violent shaking, with or without impact, of an infant by an adult, sufficient to cause brain injury. The mortality rate is estimated at 20-25% and growth of child is extremely poor. High rates of impairment are reported : motor deficit (spastic hemiplegia or quadriplegia), epilepsy often intractable, microcephaly with corticosubcortical atrophy, visual impairment even the blindness, language disorders, cognitive (intellectual deficit), behavioral (agitation, aggression, attention deficit, inhibition deficit) and sleep disorders. Several studies on the subject highlighted that an initial severe presentation is associated with worse growth.

These is very limited research on the outcome of inflicted traumatic brain injury and the results are heterogeneous. The study hypothesis is the prognosis of the sequelae children develop according to the severity criteria presented in admission to the hospital for the Shaken Baby Syndrome.

This is an epidemiological, observational, prognostic and prospective study. The severity criteria are clinical high intracranial pressure, presence of a coma, vitreous haemorrhage, an age under 6 months, other injuries than subdural hematoma (parenchymal injuries, ischemia or cerebral oedema).

The severity criteria were chosen by studying others studies on the subject. Children concerned had been admitted to hospital for Shaken Baby Syndrome between 2010 and 2014 in France, in the Central Region. Thus today, they are between five and eight years old. We know that sequelae occur after latency, in particular when children learn to read and write.

Primary purpose is to evaluate prognostic factors to develop sequelae after an inflicted traumatic brain injury as the shaken baby syndrome.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the sequelae motor developed by children with a past history of a Shaken Baby Syndrome.

    The motor function is assessed by clinical neurological examination.

    Measured: At the inclusion (Day 1)

  2. the cognitive sequelae developed by children with a past history of a Shaken Baby Syndrome

    The cognitive function is assessed by the Wechler Scale (WPPSI IV). This scale assesses the verbal understanding, spatial visual understanding, fluid reasoning, work memory and treatment speed.

    Measured: At the inclusion (Day 1)

  3. the behavioral sequelae developed by children with a past history of a Shaken Baby Syndrome.

    Adaptive behavior is measured using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. This scale assesses 4 fields : communication, autonomy, socialization and motor function

    Measured: At the inclusion (Day 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shaken Baby Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Tours.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the sequelae motor developed by children with a past history of a Shaken Baby Syndrome. (time frame: At the inclusion (Day 1)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Sep 2019.
