Various risk and resilience factors for recovery and chronic postsurgical pain have been identified, including parental characteristics. However, research commonly relies on nomothetic data, whereas psychometric properties of diaries assessing pediatric postsurgical recovery in everyday life are understudied. This study aimed to evaluate preliminary reliability, validity, and variability of diary data in adolescents and their parents after spinal fusion surgery.\n\nAdolescents with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing spinal fusion surgery and their parents were asked to complete daily diaries for 7 consecutive days at 5 time points: before surgery and 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. Diaries were developed based on validated questionnaires measuring relevant constructs of pediatric postsurgical recovery. Internal consistency; test-retest reliability; convergent, divergent, and concurrent criterion validity; and variability were examined.\n\nThe sample comprised 95 adolescents and 95 parents. Overall compliance rate was approximately 80% in both adolescents and parents, with a total of 5282 diary entries analyzed. Internal consistency for multi-item variables ranged from good to excellent (\u03b1 = 0.82-0.93) for adolescent data and acceptable to excellent (\u03b1 = 0.74-0.93) for parent data. All test-retest correlations were significant-large (\u03c1 = 0.60-0.76) for adolescent data and medium to large for parent data (\u03c1 = 0.57-0.80). Regarding validity, all but 3 correlations between diary variables were significant. Diary variables generally correlated significantly with corresponding questionnaire data. Variability was low in some variables.\n\nThese results provide evidence for psychometric properties regarding reliability, validity, and variability of diaries monitoring processes of postsurgical recovery in everyday life in adolescents undergoing spinal fusion surgery. Replication is suggested for refinement and further validation, with particular attention to variability and evaluation of sensitivity to change.", "doi": "10.1016/j.wneu.2025.123744", "pmid": "39900239", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "S1878-8750(25)00100-7"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-09-23T13:36:48.921Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T13:36:48.953Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "56c78ceac5a24ddc8e4c23836977ffdc", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/56c78ceac5a24ddc8e4c23836977ffdc.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/56c78ceac5a24ddc8e4c23836977ffdc"}}, "title": "Increased Incidence and Mortality of Civilian Penetrating Traumatic Brain Injury in Sweden: A Single-Center Registry-Based Study.", "authors": [{"family": "Lilford", "given": "Robert D", "initials": "RD"}, {"family": "Hossain", "given": "Iftakher", "initials": "I"}, {"family": "Dahlberg", "given": "Martin", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Wahlgren", "given": "Carl-Magnus", "initials": "CM"}, {"family": "Bellander", "given": "Bo-Michael", "initials": "BM"}, {"family": "Rostami", "given": "Amir", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "G\u00fcnther", "given": "Mattias", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Bartek", "given": "Jiri", "initials": "J"}, {"family": "Rostami", "given": "Elham", "initials": "E"}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2024-02-00", "journal": {"title": "World Neurosurg", "issn": "1878-8769", "volume": "182", "pages": "e493-e505", "issn-l": null}, "abstract": "Penetrating trauma to the head and neck has increased during the past decade in Sweden. The aim of this study was to characterize these injuries and evaluate the outcomes for patients treated at a tertiary trauma center.\n\nSwedish trauma registry data were extracted on patients with head and neck injuries admitted to Karolinska University Hospital (Stockholm, Sweden) between 2011 and 2019. Outcome information was extracted from hospital records, with the primary endpoints focusing on the physiological outcome measures and the secondary endpoints on the surgical and radiological outcomes.\n\nOf 1436 patients with penetrating trauma, 329 with penetrating head and neck injuries were identified. Of the 329 patients, 66 (20%) had suffered a gunshot wound (GSW), 240 (73%) a stab wound (SW), and 23 (7%) an injury from other trauma mechanisms (OTMs). The median age for the corresponding 3 groups of patients was 25, 33, and 21 years, respectively. Assault was the primary intent, with 54 patients experiencing GSWs (81.8%) and 158 SWs (65.8%). Patients with GSWs had more severe injuries, worse admission Glasgow coma scale, motor, scores, and a higher intubation rate at the injury site. Most GSW patients underwent major surgery (59.1%) as the initial procedure and were more likely to have intracranial hemorrhage (21.2%). The 30-day mortality was 45.5% (n = 30) for GSWs, 5.4% (n = 13) for SWs, and 0% (n = 0) for OTMs. There was an annual increase in the incidence and mortality for GSWs and SWs.\n\nBetween 2011 and 2019, an increasing annual trend was found in the incidence and mortality from penetrating head and neck trauma in Stockholm, Sweden. GSW patients experienced more severe injuries and intracranial hemorrhage and underwent more surgical interventions compared with patients with SWs and OTMs.", "doi": "10.1016/j.wneu.2023.11.129", "pmid": "38040331", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pii", "key": "S1878-8750(23)01693-5"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-09-23T12:21:14.444Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T12:21:14.484Z"}], "created": "2026-09-23T12:21:14.452Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T12:21:14.452Z"}
