Article Synopsis
- The study focused on children with new tracheostomies and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), aiming to identify and characterize low-resource days (LRDs) during their transitional care in the hospital.
- It analyzed data from 4048 children, revealing that 38.6% experienced at least one LRD, with younger age and longer hospital stays being key factors associated with higher rates of LRDs.
- The findings emphasize the need to understand hospital resource use during recovery to improve care models for these children.
Objective: To create models for prediction and benchmarking of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) length of stay (LOS) for patients with critical bronchiolitis.
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that machine learning models applied to an administrative database will be able to accurately predict and benchmark the PICU LOS for critical bronchiolitis.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: The incidence of deterioration and associated characteristics are largely unknown for children transported for admission from referring emergency departments (EDs) to general inpatient units. This study describes this population and identifies associated preadmission characteristics.
Methods: This single-center cohort study included children ≤ 18 years old transferred from an ED and directly admitted to general inpatient units from 2016 to 2019.
