Early predictors of unfavorable outcomes in pediatric acute respiratory failure.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Acute respiratory failure is a leading cause of critical illness in children. However, patient outcomes and early predictors of unfavorable outcomes are not well understood. This study aimed to describe composite unfavorable outcomes, defined as in-hospital death or discharge with new comorbidities, and to identify early predictors in children with acute respiratory failure in acute care hospitals.

Design

Retrospective cohort study using a national inpatient database in Japan.

Setting

All acute care hospitals registered in the database.

Patients

This study included children under 20 years of age who were admitted with acute respiratory diseases between July 2010 and March 2022 and received ventilatory support within the first three days of hospitaliza
