This study investigates the prevalence of acute rehabilitation practices among children in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
This is a prospective observational study conducted across 13 hospitals. Data will be collected at three predefined time points to assess the prevalence of acute rehabilitation practices among children in pediatric intensive care units.

Proportion of Participants Who Received Acute Rehabilitation
Prevalence is defined as the proportion of eligible children in the pediatric intensive care unit who received at least one session of physical therapy or occupational therapy within the 24 hours preceding each study assessment point.
Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Number of Acute Rehabilitation Sessions per Participant
The number of physical therapy or occupational therapy sessions delivered to eligible children within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point.
Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Number of Participants by Type of Rehabilitation Intervention
The types of rehabilitation interventions delivered within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point, including passive exercise, active exercise, positioning, mobility training, and occupational therapy interventions.
Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Proportion of sessions Involving Assistive Devices
The proportion of rehabilitation sessions involving assistive devices or equipment during the 24 hours preceding each assessment point.
Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period
Number of Sessions by Delivery Method
The types of rehabilitation delivery methods used within the 24 hours preceding each assessment point, including bedside therapy, in-room mobilization, and therapist-assisted mobility interventions.
Time frame: At three seasonal point-prevalence assessments conducted approximately 6 months apart over an 18-month period

Odds Ratios for Factors Associated With Absence of Acute Rehabilitation
Multivariable logistic regression analysis will be performed to evaluate clinical and organizational factors associated with the absence of acute rehabilitation delivery among eligible children in the pediatric intensive care unit. Predictor variables will include patient demographics, severity of illness, sedation status, mechanical ventilation, restraint use, ICU structure, rehabilitation protocols, and staffing resources.
