Pediatric Cancer Type Predicts Infection Rate Need for Critical Care Intervention and Mortality in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

摘要

PURPOSEUp to 38% of children with cancer require PICU admission within three years of diagnosis, with reported PICU mortality of 13–27% far exceeding that of the general PICU population. PICU outcomes data for individual cancer types are lacking and may help identify patients at risk for poor clinical outcomes.
