Article Synopsis
- In Latin America, critically ill children face significant challenges during referral and transport, especially in resource-limited regions, but the impact on clinical outcomes is not well understood.
- The study analyzed data from 2,692 pediatric patients with acute respiratory failure transferred to intensive care units, focusing on identifying risk factors for mortality.
- Findings revealed that nonurban transport for referred patients was significantly associated with higher mortality rates, with an adjusted odds ratio of 9.4, indicating a strong risk factor.
