To understand critical paediatric coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and evaluate factors associated with mortality in children from high low-middle income countries.Prospective, observational study of critically ill hospitalised for COVID-19 18 countries throughout North America, Latin Europe between April 1 December 31, 2020. Associations were evaluated using logistic regression.557 patients (median age, 8 years; 24% <2 years) enrolled 55 sites (63% American). Half had comorbidities....
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> We developed end-to-end deep learning models using whole slide images of adults diagnosed with diffusely infiltrating, World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2 gliomas to predict prognosis and the mutation status a somatic biomarker, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1/2. The models, which utilize ResNet-18 as backbone, were validated on 296 patients from Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. To account for small sample size, repeated random train/test splits performed...
Guidelines for declaration of brain death in children were revised 2011 by the Society Critical Care Medicine, American Academy Pediatrics, and Child Neurology Society. Despite widespread medical, legal, ethical acceptance, ongoing controversies exist with regard to concept procedures its determination.To determine epidemiology clinical characteristics pediatric patients declared dead United States.This study involved abstraction all patient deaths from Virtual Pediatric Systems national...
Importance Neurological manifestations during acute SARS-CoV-2–related multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) are common hospitalized patients younger than 18 years and may increase risk of new neurocognitive or functional morbidity. Objective To assess the association severe neurological a hospital admission with morbidities at discharge. Design, Setting, Participants This prospective cohort study from 46 centers 10 countries included who were for SARS-CoV-2 MIS-C between...
OBJECTIVES: Children with chronic critical illness (CCI) are hypothesized to be a high-risk patient population persistent multiple organ dysfunction and functional morbidities resulting in recurrent or prolonged care; however, it is unclear how CCI should defined. The aim of this scoping review was evaluate the existing literature for case definitions pediatric PICU admission explore methodologies used derive these definitions. DATA SOURCES: Four electronic databases (Ovid Medline, Embase,...
OBJECTIVES Survivors of the PICU face long-term morbidities across health domains. In this study, we detail active follow-up programs (PFUPs) and identify perceptions barriers about development maintenance PFUPs. METHODS A web link to an adaptive survey was distributed through organizational listservs. Descriptive statistics characterized sample details existing Likert responses regarding benefits were summarized. RESULTS One hundred eleven respondents represented 60 institutions located in...
<h3>Objective</h3> To determine the variability in pediatric death by neurologic criteria (DNC) protocols between US institutions and compared to 2011 DNC guidelines. <h3>Methods</h3> In this cross-sectional study of obtained from United States via regional organ procurement organizations, were evaluated across 5 domains: general procedures, prerequisites, examination, apnea testing, ancillary testing. Descriptive statistics each other <h3>Results</h3> A total 130 analyzed with 118 dated...
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of adverse events during apnea testing for determination death by neurologic criteria using continuous positive airway pressure in children. Design: Single-center retrospective descriptive study. Setting: Academic children’s hospital. Patients: Children evaluated PICU from 2013 to 2018. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: For each patient criteria, we abstracted number tests performed, vital signs arterial blood gases testing, outcome...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate in-situ simulation to prepare a PICU move new, redesigned unit. METHODS: The study setting is an academic PICU. This cross-sectional using simulations of common admissions. Postsimulation, participants completed survey comparing the perception preparedness pre- and postsimulation (via 10-point Likert scale). Participants were resurveyed 6 months postmove assess whether effects persisted. Qualitative data obtained via thematic review comment section from debriefing....
Abstract Objectives To understand the international epidemiology of critical pediatric COVID-19 and compare presentation, treatments, outcomes younger (<2 years) older (>2 children. Design Prospective, observational study from April 1 to December 31, 2020 Setting International multicenter 55 sites North America, Latin Europe. Participants Patients <19 years old hospitalized with Interventions none Main measured Clinical course, were compared between Multivariable logistic regression...
