Article Synopsis
- The study examines how neighborhood-level disadvantages affect the number of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admissions, focusing on children under 18 in Baltimore from 2016 to 2019.
- Results showed a higher incidence of PICU admissions in areas with greater socioeconomic disadvantages, particularly in the city of Baltimore, where 68% of admissions came from neighborhoods with higher deprivation indices.
- Findings indicate that higher poverty rates are linked to increased PICU admissions, with lower median household incomes correlating to a greater likelihood of admission, revealing critical health disparities within pediatric populations.
High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is commonly used as non-invasive respiratory support in critically ill children. There are limited data to inform consensus on optimal device parameters, determinants of successful patient response, and indications for escalation of support. Clinical scores, such as the respiratory rate-oxygenation (ROX) index, have been described as a means to predict HFNC non-response, but are limited to evaluating for escalations to invasive mechanical ventilation (MV).
