Development and Validation of a Model for Endotracheal Intubation and Mechanical Ventilation Prediction in PICU Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To develop and externally validate an intubation prediction model for children admitted to a PICU using objective and routinely available data from the electronic medical records (EMRs).

Design

Retrospective observational cohort study.

Setting

Two PICUs within the same healthcare system: an academic, quaternary care center (36 beds) and a community, tertiary care center (56 beds).

Patients

Children younger than 18 years old admitted to a PICU between 2010 and 2022.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

Clinical data was extracted from the EMR. PICU stays with at least one mechanical ventilation event (≥ 24 hr) occurring within a window of 1-7 days after hospital admission were included in the study. Of 13,208 PICU stays in t
