Study design: Cross-sectional survey. Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempt in Korean persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and the factors related with suicidal ideation in comparison with a control group (CG). Settings: Community-dwelling persons with chronic SCI in Korea. Methods: A total of 382 persons with chronic SCI and 1104 able-bodied persons randomly selected from the general population and matched for age, sex and education level were compared. Suicidal ideation and attempt were recorded positive if the subjects had that experience during the past year. Psychosocial variables and injury-related factors were also evaluated. Results: Suicidal ideation was found in 34.8% (127/365) of SCI persons and 10.4% (115/1104) in the CG (P<0.001). The rate of suicidal attempt among those with suicidal ideation was 17.3% (22/127) in SCI and 8.7% (10/115) in CG (P = 0.048). Multiple logistic regression revealed that SCI itself (odds ratio (OR) 2.865) was a significant risk factor of suicidal ideation. However, completeness of injury and injury level were not significantly associated with suicidal ideation. Depressive mood (OR 11.194, P<0.001) and female gender (OR 3.706, P<0.001) were significant risk factors of suicidal ideation in the SCI group with a predictive percentage of 77.5%. Conclusion: Suicidal ideation was more frequent among Korean persons with SCI compared with able-bodied peers and closely related to psychosocial adjustment. The results support the need for active intervention to prevent suicide regardless of injury severity.

A validation of the disability attitudes in health care scale using the Rasch analysis on a sample of Korean medical students

You Gyoung Yi, Jeong-Eun Lee, Ye Il Kim, Eunhae Kim, Hyung-Ik Shin

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Disability Attitudes in Health Care scale in healthcare settings, suggesting a revised version with 15 items and a 4-category scoring method for increased reliability and validity.

Reliability and Validity of the Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System in Adults with Cerebral Palsy

Sung Eun Hyun, You Gyoung Yi, Hyung-Ik Shin

Summary: The study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the EDACS in adults with CP, showing it to be a reliable and valid tool for classifying eating and drinking ability. The EDACS correlated well with FOIS, SWAL-QOL, and MACS, but not with GMFCS. Additionally, there were differences in correlation with EDACS based on different types of CP.

Reliability and validity of upper limb short questionnaire for Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Young-Ah Choi, Hyung-Ik Shin

Summary: This study evaluated the validity and reliability of the Upper Limb Short Questionnaire (ULSQ) as a clinical measure for assessing upper limb function, pain, and stiffness in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The ULSQ was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool for screening these aspects in clinical settings.

Validation of the functional component of the Halliwick-ICF assessment scale

Wamulwange Lieto, You Gyoung Yi, Hyung-Ik Shin

Summary: The study validated the functional components of the Halliwick-ICF assessment scale in aquatic therapy and compared the scale between underwater and on-land activities. Results demonstrated significant correlations of the scale with the modified Barthel index and Medical Research Council sum.

Direct swallowing training and oral sensorimotor stimulation in preterm infants: a randomised controlled trial

Ju Sun Heo, Ee-Kyung Kim, Sae Yun Kim, In Gyu Song, Young Mi Yoon, Hannah Cho, Eun Sun Lee, Seung Han Shin, Byung-Mo Oh, Hyung-Ik Shin, Han-Suk Kim

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of direct swallowing training (DST) alone and combined with oral sensorimotor stimulation (OSMS) on oral feeding ability in very preterm infants. Results showed that DST+OSMS led to a faster attainment of independent oral feeding compared to the control and DST groups. The combination of DST+OSMS significantly shortened the time to independent oral feeding compared to non-intervention.

Peak Expiratory Flow During Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation: Endotracheal Tube Versus Face Mask

Summary: The study found that MI-E treatment via ETT generated slower PEF than via face mask, suggesting that a higher-pressure protocol should be prescribed for intubated patients to increase PEF speed.

Summary: The study aimed to develop and validate a scale to assess people's attitudes and perspectives toward persons with disabilities. After multiple stages of development and revision, a reliable and valid 14-item scale was obtained, which can be used to measure the impact of education on attitudes toward persons with disabilities.

Summary: This study demonstrates that occult tethered cord syndrome (OTCS) is an existing entity, albeit rare. Timely treatment can lead to a cure for OTCS, with sudden onset and rapid progression of symptoms being the best indication for surgery.

Deep learning-based quantitative analyses of spontaneous movements and their association with early neurological development in preterm infants

Summary: This study aimed to develop a quantitative assessment method for spontaneous movements in preterm infants using a deep learning algorithm. The complexity and similarity indices of joint angles and angular velocities were compared between infants with different Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) scores. The results showed that complexity indices of joint movements were positively correlated with HINE scores, suggesting their potential as indicators of developmental outcomes in preterm infants.

Impact of Cerebellar Injury on Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Preterm Infants With Cerebral Palsy

Yoo Jinie Kim, Ee-Kyung Kim, Jung-Eun Cheon, Huijin Song, Moon Suk Bang, Hyung-Ik Shin, Seung Han Shin, Han-Suk Kim

Summary: In this study, brain imaging findings and neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants diagnosed with cerebral palsy were analyzed. The study found that high-grade cerebellar hemorrhage and/or atrophy accounted for 25% of cerebellar injuries in patients with supratentorial lesions. Patients with cerebellar injury showed lower scores in various domains of neurodevelopmental assessment and had a higher proportion of patients below the cutoff value. Poor neurodevelopmental outcomes, other than motor function, were associated with cerebellar injury, indicating the importance of evaluating the cerebellum in predicting functional outcomes of cerebral palsy patients.

Effect of body position on peak expiratory flow during mechanical insufflation-exsufflation in people with cervical spinal cord injury: a pilot study

Sung Eun Hyun, Wonjae Hwang, Hye Min Ji, Hyung-Ik Shin

Summary: This prospective pilot study investigated the influence of body position on peak cough flow (PCF) during mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) treatment in people with tetraplegia. The results showed that PCF was associated with the application maneuvers and interaction between position and maneuvers, but not with the application position. Therefore, either position can be used for MI-E treatment in individuals with tetraplegia.
