Cardiovascular Dysfunction Criteria in Critically Ill Children: The PODIUM Consensus Conference.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Cardiovascular dysfunction is associated with poor outcomes in critically ill children.

Objective

We aim to derive an evidence-informed, consensus-based definition of cardiovascular dysfunction in critically ill children.

Data sources

Electronic searches of PubMed and Embase were conducted from January 1992 to January 2020 using medical subject heading terms and text words to define concepts of cardiovascular dysfunction, pediatric critical illness, and outcomes of interest.

Study selection

Studies were included if they evaluated critically ill children with cardiovascular dysfunction and assessment and/or scoring tools to screen for cardiovascular dysfunction and assessed mortality, functional status, organ-specific, or other patient-centered outcomes.
