Research Article: Association between mortality and critical events within 48 hours of transfer to the pediatric intensive care unit

Date Published: 2024-01-16

Abstract:
Introduction: Critical deterioration in hospitalized children, defined as ward to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) transfer followed by mechanical ventilation (MV) or vasoactive infusion (VI) within 12?h, has been used as a primary metric to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical interventions or quality improvement initiatives. We explore the association between critical events (CEs), i.e., MV or VI events, within the first 48?h of PICU transfer from the ward or emergency department (ED) and in-hospital mortality.
