Social Determinants of Health and Health-Related Quality of Life Following Pediatric Septic Shock: Secondary Analysis of the Life After Pediatric Sepsis Evaluation Dataset, 2014-2017.

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.
