Objectives: To examine the association between family presence at the PICU bedside and daily positive delirium screening scores.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Tertiary children's hospital PICU.
Article Synopsis
- Neurological issues are prevalent in children hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), potentially leading to lasting cognitive and functional problems.
- This study investigates how severe neurological symptoms during hospitalization relate to new cognitive and functional impairments upon discharge among children under 18.
- Over 3,500 patients were examined, revealing that those with severe neurological manifestations had a higher likelihood of experiencing new morbidities at discharge compared to those without such issues.
Objectives: Social determinants of health (SDOH) are associated with disparities in disease severity and in-hospital outcomes among critically ill children. It is unknown whether SDOH are associated with later outcomes. We evaluated associations between SDOH measures and mortality, new functional morbidity, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) decline among children surviving septic shock.
