Objectives: To examine the gender distribution of authorship of pediatric critical care randomized control trials.

Data Sources: The 415 randomized control trials in pediatric critical care published before 2019.

Study Selection: We included all randomized control trials enrolling children in a PICU.

Research Collaboration in Pediatric Critical Care Randomized Controlled Trials: A Social Network Analysis of Coauthorship.

Objectives: Clinical research is a collaborative enterprise; researchers benefit from the expertise, experience, and resources of their collaborators. We sought to describe the extent and patterns of collaboration among pediatric critical care trialists, and to identify the most influential individuals, centers, and countries.

Design: Social network analysis of coauthorship.
