Abstract

Using convenience sampling at two academic centers and accepting the wide age range of patients traditionally treated in children’s hospitals, we examined feasibility of CHI and outcomes of quality of life (QOL) and symptoms with validated surveys and two physiologic measures. A priori feasibility thresholds were 90% accrual rate and 60% completion of at least two surveys and one CHI session.
