Clinician Accuracy in Identifying and Predicting Organ Dysfunction in Critically Ill Children.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine clinician accuracy in the identification and prediction of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital PICU.

Patients

Patients admitted to the PICU with an anticipated PICU length of stay greater than 48 hours.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

For each patient, the clinical team (attending, fellow, resident/nurse practitioner) was surveyed regarding existing and anticipated organ dysfunction. The primary outcomes were clinicians' accuracy at identifying multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and predicting new or progressive multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, compared to the objective assessment of multiple organ dysfunc
