Clinical Decision Support in the PICU: Implications for Design and Evaluation.

Objectives: To assess the current landscape of clinical decision support (CDS) tools in PICUs in order to identify priority areas of focus in this field.

Design: International, quantitative, cross-sectional survey.

Setting: Role-specific, web-based survey administered in November and December 2020.

Relationship between pediatric intensive care unit length of stay and 24-h unplanned readmission rate.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) severity-adjusted length of stay (LOS) and 24-h unplanned readmission rate.

Data Source: Data were obtained from a 10-year cohort from 2009 to 2018 from the Virtual Pediatric Systems (VPS, LLC) database.

Study Design: In this retrospective study, standardized LOS ratio was computed for each PICU as the ratio of the sum of actual LOS divided by the predicted LOS for each PICU using VPS predictive LOS model.
