Predictors and Prospective Course of PANS: A Pilot Study Using Electronic Platforms for Data Collection.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Little is known about the longitudinal course of pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) because existing literature is primarily cross-sectional. To begin to address this gap, two digital platforms were used to prospectively monitor neuropsychiatric symptoms in children with PANS. The aim was to identify baseline clinical characteristics that would predict the course of neuropsychiatric symptoms over 12 weeks. We compared relative compliance between two electronic data acquisition platforms and evaluated agreement between parent-child ratings of symptoms. Methods: For 12 weeks, 20 children with PANS and their parents completed weekly rating scales of neuropsychiatric symptoms on Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) and concurrent
