Description
Summary:The aim of the study was to quantify excess mortality in children after admission to a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), compared to the age and sex matched general Swedish population. Single-center, retrospective cohort study. Registry study of hospital registers, a national population register and Statistics Sweden. Children admitted to a tertiary PICU in Sweden in 2008-2016. None. Compared to the matched Swedish population, SMRs were greatly elevated up to four years after PICU admission, declining from over 100 to 33 for patients with repeated PICU admissions, and from 35 to 11 for patients with a single PICU admission.
