摘要

Rationale:Critically ill children can develop upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), which can be associated with clinically important complications. The effectiveness of prophylaxis for UGIB in children is unknown. In the absence of randomized trials, information on the incidence and risk factors for UGIB may help target prophylactic interventions to those children at highest risk.
