Trajectory of Mortality and Health-Related Quality of Life Morbidity Following Community-Acquired Pediatric Septic Shock.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In-hospital pediatric sepsis mortality has decreased substantially, but long-term mortality and morbidity among children initially surviving sepsis, is unknown. Accordingly, the Life After Pediatric Sepsis Evaluation investigation was conducted to describe the trajectory of mortality and health-related quality of life morbidity for children encountering community-acquired septic shock.

Design

Prospective, cohort-outcome study, conducted 2013-2017.

Setting

Twelve academic PICUs in the United States.

Patients

Critically ill children, 1 month to 18 years, with community-acquired septic shock requiring vasoactive-inotropic support.

Interventions

Demographic, infection, illness severity, organ dysfunction, and resource utilization data were collect
