AI Article Synopsis
- Viral bronchiolitis is a big reason why kids need to go to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
- A study looked at how many kids were admitted to the PICU for bronchiolitis in Europe from 2000 to 2019, finding that more kids are needing this care.
- This increase in cases is worrying and suggests that doctors and hospitals need to pay more attention to treating bronchiolitis in the future.
Article Abstract
Purpose: Viral bronchiolitis is a major cause of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission. Insight in the trends of bronchiolitis-associated PICU admissions is limited, but imperative for future PICU resource and capacity planning.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively studied trends in PICU admissions for bronchiolitis in six European sites, including three full national registries, between 2000 and 2019 and calculated population-based estimates per 100,000 children where appropriate. Information concerning risk factors for severe disease and use of invasive mechanical ventilation was also collected when available.
Results: In total, there were 15,606 PICU admissions for bronchiolitis. We observed an increase in the annual number, rate and estimates per 100,000 children of PICU admissions for bronchiolitis at all sites over the last two decades, while the proportion of patients at high risk for severe disease remained relatively stable.
Conclusions: The international increased burden of bronchiolitis for the PICU is concerning, and warrants further international attention and investigation.

Background: We evaluated the outcomes of pediatric patients with blunt liver and spleen injury (BLSI) admitted to hospitals with pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
Methods: A post-hoc analysis of a multicenter observational study on pediatric patients (≤16 years) with BLSI at 83 hospitals between 2008 and 2019 was conducted. Thirty-day mortality and BLSI-associated adverse events were compared between patients treated in hospitals with and without PICUs.

Background: Albumin, a vital component in regulating human blood oncotic pressure, plays an important role in the prediction of prognosis in pediatric patients.Previous research identified significant differences in serum albumin levels of healthy and critically ill children.
Methods: The present study aims to investigate the correlation between albumin levels measured during pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) admission and clinical outcomes.

Background: Burns in children are often complex injuries, leading to prolonged length of stay (LOS) and significant morbidity. LOS in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) is a key measure for evaluating illness severity, clinical outcomes, and quality of care. Accurate prediction of LOS is vital for improving care planning and resource allocation.

Department of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Guangxi, China.
Objectives: This article aimed to investigate the correlation between blood immune cells and the prognosis in the early phase of pediatric sepsis and construct a prediction model for pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) mortality.
Methods: A total of 348 children admitted with sepsis to our PICU were retrospectively collected between January 2020 and June 2024. Of these, 242 children admitted from January 2020 to October 2022 were designated as the modeling group, while 106 children admitted between November 2022 and June 2024 were designated as the prospective validation group.
