Overall Health Following Pediatric Critical Illness: A Scoping Review of Instruments and Methodology.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Families identify overall health as a key outcome after pediatric critical illness. We conducted a planned secondary analysis of a scoping review to determine the methods, populations, and instruments used to evaluate overall health outcomes for both children and their families after critical illness.

Design

Planned Secondary Analysis of a Scoping Review.

Setting

We searched PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Registry databases from 1970 to 2017 to identify studies which measured postdischarge overall health of children who survived critical illness and their families.

Subjects

Articles reporting overall health outcomes after pediatric critical illness.
