Long-Term Outcome of PICU Patients Discharged With New, Functional Status Morbidity.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine the long-term (> 6 mo) functional status of PICU patients with significant new functional morbidities at hospital discharge.

Design

Longitudinal cohort followed-up using structured chart reviews of electronic health records.

Setting

Electronic health records of former PICU patients at seven sites.

Patients

Randomly selected patients from the Trichotomous Outcome Prediction in Critical Care study discharged from the hospital with new functional status morbidity who had sufficient electronic health record data to determine functional status.

Interventions
