Factors associated with mortality in intracranial infection patients admitted to pediatric intensive care unit: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracranial infection is a major cause of emergency and death in children. To assist clinical decision-making in patient management, we conducted a study about factors associated with mortality. This study aimed to evaluate factors associated with mortality in pediatric patients with intracranial infection.

Methods

We performed a cohort retrospective study in our tertiary hospital to evaluate the outcomes of patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) from 2014 to 2018. The Chi-square test was performed to determine the significance of the predictor, and p < 0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant result. We used multivariate logistic regression to determine relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).
