Critical Care Utilization in Children With Cancer: U.S. Pediatric Health Information System Database Cohort 2012-2021.
To determine changes in pediatric oncology hospitalizations requiring intensive care over the period 2012-2021. ⋯ The percentage of pediatric oncology hospitalizations resulting in PICU admission has increased over the past 10 years. Despite the increasing use of PICU admission and markers of acuity, and on comparing 2017-2021 with 2012-2016, there are lower odds of mortality.

Change in Functional Status During Hospital Admission and Long-Term Health-Related Quality of Life Among Pediatric Septic Shock Survivors.
To investigate whether change in functional status from pre-hospitalization baseline to hospital discharge is associated with long-term health-related quality of life (HRQL) among children surviving septic shock. ⋯ Change in FSS during hospitalization for septic shock is associated with long-term reductions in HRQL and could serve as a useful tool for identifying children at risk for this sequela.
