    Abstract: Although essential for providing optimal adolescent patient support, knowledge of the impact of Marfan syndrome in adolescence is limited. To explore adolescents’ perceived impact of Marfan syndrome on (physical) functioning (activities, participation), disability (limitations, restrictions), contextual factors and support needs, we interviewed 19 adolescents with Marfan syndrome. Audio-recordings were transcribed, coded and analysed using thematic analysis. Identified themes were “difficulties in keeping up with peers” and “being and feeling different from peers”. Furthermore, an adolescent Marfan syndrome-specific International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) model derived from the data describing the adolescent perceived impact of Marfan syndrome on functioning, disability and its contextual factors. Adolescents perceived problems in keeping up with peers in school, sports, leisure and friendships/relationships, and they could not meet work requirements. Moreover, participants perceived to differ from peers due to their appearance and disability. Contextual factors: coping with Marfan syndrome, self-esteem/image, knowledge about Marfan syndrome, support from family/friends/teachers, ability to express needs and peer-group acceptation acted individually as barrier or facilitator for identified themes. Conclusion : Adolescents with Marfan syndrome perceived limitations and restrictions in (physical) functioning. They perceived problems in keeping up with peers and perceived to differ from peers due to their appearance and disability. This warrants awareness and tailored physical, psychosocial, educational and environmental support programmes to improve (physical) functioning and empowerment of adolescents with Marfan syndrome. What is known: • Marfan syndrome is a hereditary connective tissue disorder. • Marfan syndrome affects multiple systems. What is new: • Adolescents with Marfan syndrome perceive (1) problems in keeping up with peers in school, sports, leisure, friendships/relationships and work (2) to differ from peers due to their appearance and disability. • An adolescent Marfan syndrome-specific International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth model derived from the data describing the adolescent perceived impact of Marfan syndrome on functioning, disability and contextual factors.

    Abstract: Little is known about the effects of upper-extremity surgery on the manual performance of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). This clinical cohort study describes our experience with patient selection based on multidisciplinary assessment and shared decision-making and the effects of upper-extremity surgery on manual performance and patient-relevant outcomes. Methods: All patients (up to 20 years of age) with CP referred to our multidisciplinary team for evaluation for upper-extremity surgery between July 2011 and May 2017 were included. Suitability for upper-extremity surgery was assessed with comprehensive, multidisciplinary screening, and the decision to proceed with surgery was made together with the patient. Individual patient-relevant goals were identified with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM); perceived independence in performing bimanual activities at home was assessed with the ABILHAND-Kids tool, and perceived quality of use of the affected hand during daily activities was assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS). The quality of use of the affected hand during bimanual performance was measured with the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), and gross manual dexterity was evaluated with the Box and Block Test (BBT). All baseline assessments were repeated at an average of 9 months after the surgery. Results: Of 66 patients assessed by the multidisciplinary upper-extremity-surgery team, 44 were considered eligible for upper-extremity surgery. Of these patients, 39 (mean age and standard deviation [SD] , 14.9 ± 2.10 years, 87% with unilateral CP, and 72% at Manual Ability Classification System [MACS] level II) underwent upper-extremity surgery and were evaluated in the pre-post study. All outcomes improved significantly after upper-extremity surgery, with average improvements of 3.1 ± 1.6 points in the COPM-Performance (COPM-P) score (p 〈 0.001), 3.3 ± 2.1 points in the COPM-Satisfaction (COPM-S) score (p 〈 0.001), 1.5 ± 1.2 logits in the ABILHAND score (p 〈 0.001), 2.4 ± 1.9 cm in the VAS score (p 〈 0.001), 6.7 ± 4.2 units in the AHA score (p 〈 0.001), and 2.2 ± 5.0 blocks/minute on the BBT (p = 0.021). The improvement in the COPM-P, COPM-S, ABILHAND, VAS, AHA, and BBT scores was clinically meaningful in 80%, 77%, 55%, 62%, 71%, and 31% of the patients, respectively. Conclusions: Careful assessment of eligibility for upper-extremity surgery, based on multidisciplinary screening and shared decision-making, resulted in a clinically relevant improvement in patient-specific functional and/or cosmetic goals and manual performance after upper-extremity surgery in most patients with CP. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV . See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

    Abstract: Avaliar e sintetizar a evidência dos efeitos de cirurgia do membro superior (CMS) sobre as atividades e participação de crianças com paralisia cerebral (PC). Método As bases de dados MEDLINE, Embase, e PsycINFO foram pesquisadas quanto a publicações até setembro de 2018. Foram incluídos estudos comparativos com ou sem grupos de comparação concorrentes ou séries de casos com resultados pré/pós‐teste com um tamanho amostral mínimo de 10 participantes; aqueles que reportaram os efeitos de CMS com tempo de acompanhamento de pelo menos 5 meses; aqueles incluindo pacientes com diagnóstico de PC e até 20 anos de idade; e aqueles que usaram um instrumento válido para avaliar atividade. O risco de viés foi avaliado usando o instrumento RVENA‐I (Risco de viés em estudos não aleatorizados – de intervenções) e a avaliação da qualidade foi realizada com a Pontuação de Recomendações, Avaliação, Desenvolvimento e Mensuração. Resultados Doze estudos, envolvendo 310 crianças e adolescentes, foram incluídos. A capacidade e percepção do paciente em utilizar as mãos e realizar atividades (mensuradas com a Avaliação do Hospital Shriners para a extremidade superior, a Avaliação da Mão Auxiliar, e a Classificação Funcional de House) melhoraram significantemente após CMS. A qualidade da evidência foi muito baixa para os resultados de atividade de interesse. Interpretação A evidência muito baixa proíbe recomendações sobre o uso de CMS para guiar a prática clínica. Mais estudos comparativos de alta qualidade são necessários para obter mais informações a respeito dos efeitos de CMS nas atividades e participação.
