Child outcomes included duration of fever persistence, and duration of child functional impairments (i.e. activity, oral intake, sleep, behavior), and return to healthcare (Table 1).
Construct validity was also assessed using Spearman's rho correlation between total PedsQL™ scores at FU and duration of child and family outcomes, under the hypothesis that patients with longer duration of fever, child functional impairment, and family unit functioning would have lower PedsQL™ scores at FU. Responsiveness was analyzed using two methods.
In view of the finding that longer duration of child maltreatment is associated with poorer outcomes, it is expected that if reporting leads to maltreatment being ended, or sufficient care being provided for child and family, this will benefit children's mental health and quality of life, or at least contribute to minimizing adverse outcomes [ 4, 20- 23].
Dependent variable: Zarit scores All models adjusted for age and gender of patients and caregivers, caregiver marital status, duration of child's illness, diagnosis, and presence of psychosis.
The ages of their children ranged from 6 months to 5 years with a mean age of 2.1 years and the duration of child's illness ranged from 1 to 60 days with a mean of 4.8 days.
GHQ scores, CGAS scores, CIS scores and level of education of the child were entered into stepwise multiple regression, with adjustments for age and sex of patients and caregivers, caregiver marital status, duration of child's illness, diagnosis, and presence of psychosis.
While it is possible to examine trends by comparing across the surveys, it is not possible to draw firm conclusions about either the formation or duration of child-only households.
Also, parental reports generally overestimate sleep duration of children.
However, compared with other studies, the leisure-time MVPA duration of children in this work was shorter [ 8, 23, 36– 36].
Multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between TPB variable and MVPA duration of children.
Future work should focus on expanding our understanding of seasonal variation in the frequency and duration of children's experiences of food insecurity.
