Background: Advances in medical technology may be increasing the population of children who are technology-dependent (TD). We assessed the proportion of children discharged from a children's hospital who are judged to be TD, and determined the most common devices and number of prescription medications at the time of discharge.
Methods: Chart review of 100 randomly selected patients from all services discharged from a children's hospital during the year 2000.
