Children Requiring 3 or More Days of Invasive Ventilation: Secondary Analysis of Post-Discharge Change in Caregiver Employment.

Objectives: To describe frequency of, and risk factors, for change in caregiver employment among critically ill children with acute respiratory failure.

Design: Preplanned secondary analysis of prospective cohort dataset, 2018-2021.

Setting: Quaternary Children's Hospital PICU.

Physical Activity Monitoring in Children in the 1-Year After 3 or More Days of Invasive Ventilation: Feasibility of Using Accelerometers.

Objectives: To measure physical activity in a cohort of children who survived greater than or equal to 3 days of invasive ventilation.

Design: Prospective cohort study (2018-2021).

Setting: Quaternary children's hospital PICU.

Recovery Trajectories in Children Requiring 3 or More Days of Invasive Ventilation.

Objectives: To characterize health-related quality of life (HRQL) and functional recovery trajectories and risk factors for prolonged impairments among critically ill children receiving greater than or equal to 3 days of invasive ventilation.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Quaternary children's hospital PICU.

Endothelial Glycocalyx Degradation Patterns in Sepsis-Associated Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Single Center Retrospective Observational Study.

Background: Sepsis-associated destruction of the pulmonary microvascular endothelial glycocalyx (EGCX) creates a vulnerable endothelial surface, contributing to the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Constituents of the EGCX shed into circulation, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, may serve as biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction. We sought to define the patterns of plasma EGCX degradation products in children with sepsis-associated pediatric ARDS (PARDS), and test their association with clinical outcomes.
