This allowed data collection, post-processing and modelling to be performed on a standard laptop computer.
The impact of the EPIC Kids intervention will be evaluated using a group-randomized, non-inferiority trial design with three data collection points: baseline, post-intervention (immediately post program completion at 12 weeks), and follow-up (24 weeks) (Fig. 1).
These data sets vary in breadth of coverage (national to regional), funding source (private to national government funded), mechanism of data collection (continuous, post hoc), and scope of data collected.
These are data collection, handling, post-test processing, engine calibration, and mapping.
Calibration, data collection and post-processing was performed using Cortex analysis software.
Data collection and post-run processing were carried out using the OMNIC Picta™ software (Thermo).
For data collection on post-concussion symptoms, the instruments were varied and included the Graded Symptom Checklist (Janusz et al. 2012) (n = 9), Postconcussion Symptom Scale (PCS-S) (Lovell and Collins 1998) (n = 6) or Concussion Symptom Inventory (PCSI) (Randolph et al. 2009) (n = 6).
This has prompted a fundamental change to data collection, from post-discharge to on-site.
The first data collection point post-PICU will be on the hospital ward prior to discharge.
The SEA-ORCHID project consists of five stages; pre-study, pre-intervention data collection, intervention, post-intervention data collection, and reporting and dissemination.
