Article Synopsis
- * This pilot study aimed to integrate a remote exam device into a complex care clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on training caregivers and evaluating the device's usability and feasibility.
- * While caregivers rated the device as highly usable, providers found it less so, and technology issues led to 15% of telemedicine encounters being canceled or cut short; overall, the device was successfully incorporated into the clinic.
Background: Adherence with follow-up appointments after a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission is likely a key component in managing post-PICU sequalae. However, prior work on PICU follow-up adherence is limited. The objective of this study is to identify hospitalization characteristics, discharge child health metrics, and follow-up characteristics associated with full adherence with recommended follow-up at a quaternary care center after a PICU admission due to respiratory failure.

Working Hypothesis: After pediatric critical illness due to respiratory failure, patients will not have a standard follow-up pattern with regard to provider type or follow-up location.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Objectives: To quantify home care needs, healthcare utilization, and 2-year mortality after pediatric critical illness due to respiratory failure, and evaluate the impact of new morbidity and abnormal function at hospital discharge on resource use and outcomes.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Quaternary care PICU.
