Cluster-randomized trial on Akwenda Intervention program for children and young people with cerebral palsy in Uganda: functioning and activity outcomes Cluster-randomized trial on Akwenda Intervention program for children and young people with cerebral palsy in Uganda: functioning and activity outcomes

This was a cluster-randomized, controlled, single-blinded study on a cohort of children and young people with CP in the Iganga-Mayuge Health and Demographic Surveillance Site. The CP cohort was divided in two arms: one receiving the Akwenda Intervention program, and the other serving as control waiting to receive the intervention the following year. Children with seizures in both groups were provided anti-seizure medications. Outcomes were assessed prior to and after the intervention period. The Excel sheet includes the data collected before the intervention started (2021; baseline), and after the 11 months intervention ended (2022). Randomized, controlled, intervention trial. Baseline data: Sociodemographic information and clinical data including anthropometry, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels. Primary outcome: GMFM-66 (Gross motor function measure). Secondary outcome: PEDI-UG (Ugandan version of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory. Detta var en kluster-randomiserad, kontrollerad, enkelblind studie på en kohort av barn och ungdomar med CP i Iganga-Mayuge Health and Demographic Surveillance Site. CP-kohorten var uppdelad i två armar: en som fick Akwenda-interventionsprogrammet och den andra fungerade som kontroll i väntan på att få interventionen följande år. Barn med epilepsi i båda grupperna fick anti-epileptiska läkemedel. Resultaten utvärderades före och efter interventionsperioden. Data har samlats in innan interventionen startade (2021; baslinje) och efter att interventionen på 11 månader avslutades (2022). Randomiserad, kontrollerad, interventionsstudie. Basdata: Sociodemografisk information och kliniska data inklusive antropometri, nivåer för klassificeringssystem för grov motorik (GMFCS). Primärt utfall: GMFM-66 (Grovmotorik). Sekundärt resultat: PEDI-UG (ugandisk version av Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory.
