Adverse Childhood Experiences and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Critically Ill Children.

ABSTRACT: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to adverse health outcomes for adults and children in the United States. The prevalence of critically ill children who are exposed to ACEs is not known. Our objective was to compare the frequency of ACEs of critically ill children with that of the general pediatric population of Georgia and the United States using publicly available National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) data. The impact of ACEs on patient-reported outcome measures of emotional, social, and physical health in critically ill children is not known. We sought to determine whether a higher total number of ACEs was associated with poorer patient-reported measures of emotional, social, and physical health. We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study of children < 18 years
