Psychometric Evaluation of the Inpatient Pediatric Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPPAQ) in Pediatric Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Hospitalized With Vasoocclusive Pain
Historically, sickle cell disease has not been viewed in the chronic pain paradigm because
of its recurrent nature. Patients with sickle cell disease may be hospitalized for extended
periods of time. As the hospital stay progresses, patients with SCD pain are often observed
by clinicians to have improvements in function in areas such as self-care, mobility, and
recreation despite continued self-report of high pain scores. This pattern of functional
improvement with continued report of high pain intensity scores is common in patients with
recurrent and chronic pain. A functional assessment tool that can assess function in the
acute inpatient setting is needed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Inpatient Pediatric Physical Activity
Questionnaire (IPPAQ), as a measure of daily function in children with sickle cell disease
hospitalized with vasoocclusive pain.
