Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyPatient, Process, and System Predictors of Iatrogenic Withdrawal Syndrome in Critically Ill Children.
To generate a multidimensional predictive model of risk factors for iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome in critically ill children. ⋯ Iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome is common in children recovering from critical illness, and several risk factors are predictive, including patient characteristics, sedative exposure, additional sedative agents, and system-level factors. High-risk patients could be identified before weaning to better prevent iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome among at-risk patients.
