Outcomes of Children With Cystic Fibrosis Admitted to PICUs.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Data on outcomes of children with cystic fibrosis admitted to PICUs are limited and outdated. Prior studies cite PICU mortality rates ranging from 37.5% to 100%. Given the advances made in cystic fibrosis care, we expect outcomes for these patients to have changed significantly since last studied. We provide an updated report on PICU mortality and the factors associated with death among critically ill children with cystic fibrosis.

Design

Retrospective multicenter cohort analysis utilizing data from the Virtual Pediatric Systems database.

Setting

Data were collected from 135 PICUs from January 1, 2009, to June 20, 2018.

Patients

One-thousand six-hundred thirty-three children with cystic fibrosis accounting for 2,893 PICU admissions were studied.
