Association of Pediatric Medical Emergency Teams With Hospital Mortality.
Circulation
January 2018
Division of Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Nebraska Medical Center and Children's Hospital of Omaha (Q.K., N.J.)
Background: Implementation of medical emergency teams has been identified as a potential strategy to reduce hospital deaths, because these teams respond to patients with acute physiological decline in an effort to prevent in-hospital cardiac arrest. However, prior studies of the association between medical emergency teams and hospital mortality have been limited and typically have not accounted for preimplementation mortality trends.
Methods: Within the Pediatric Health Information System for freestanding pediatric hospitals, annual risk-adjusted mortality rates were calculated for sites between 2000 and 2015.
