Association of an In-Hospital Desirability of Outcomes Ranking Scale With Postdischarge Health-Related Quality of Life: A Secondary Analysis of the Life After Pediatric Sepsis Evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To develop a desirability of outcome ranking (DOOR) scale for use in children with septic shock and determine its correlation with a decrease in 3-month postadmission health-related quality of life (HRQL) or death.

Design

Secondary analysis of the Life After Pediatric Sepsis Evaluation prospective study.

Setting

Twelve U.S. PICUs, 2013-2017.

Patients

Children (1 mo-18 yr) with septic shock.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

We applied a 7-point pediatric critical care (PCC) DOOR scale: 7: death; 6: extracorporeal life support; 5: supported by life-sustaining therapies (continuous renal replacement therapy, vasoactive, or invasive ventilation); 4: hospitalized with or 3: without organ dysfunction; 2: discharged with or 1:
