Trends in In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest and Mortality Among Children With Cardiac Disease in the Intensive Care Unit: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Data on trends in incidence and mortality for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in children with cardiac disease in the intensive care unit (ICU) are lacking. Additionally, there is limited information on factors associated with IHCA and mortality in this population.

Objective

To investigate incidence, trends, and factors associated with IHCA and mortality in children with cardiac disease in the ICU.

Data sources

A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and CINAHL, from inception to September 2021.

Study selection

Observational studies on IHCA in pediatric ICU patients with cardiac disease were selected (age cutoffs in studies varied from age ≤18 y to age ≤21 y).
