Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. The Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure (PSOM). At the completion of the examination a deficit severity score ranging from 0 (no deficit) to 2 (severe deficit) is assigned for each of five spheres: right sensorimotor (including motor, visual, hearing and somatosensory function), left sensorimotor, language production, language comprehension, and cognitive and behavioral performance. The patient is assigned an overall Deficit Severity Score of normal (0=normal function), mild (1/2=minimal to mild impairment, normal function), moderate (1=decreased function), or severe (2=loss of function) for each assessment, based on the combination of scores in the individual spheres of the PSOM. 2. A two- item parental questionnaire. Question 1: does your child need extra help with day-to-day activities compared with other children of the same age? Question 2: does your child attend special schooling? Outcome is, based on the PSOM score and on the questionnaire, classified into two categories: good outcome and poor outcome.	—
