About this study

Official title: Determination of Risk Factors and Mortality for Pediatric Chronic Critical Illnes in Turkey: Multicenter Study

It is predicted that the number of Pediatric Chronic Critical Illness increases similar to adult all over the world. The prevalence of Pediatric Chronic Critical Illness in Turkey is unknown. The investigators aimed to evaluate the etiology, comorbid conditions, demographic data, prevalence, mortality and costs of these patient in intensive care units in Turkey. In this multi-centered study, The investigators will retrospectively review the last 3 year of patients receiving treatment at the Intensive Care Unit.

Read the detailed description

Patients receiving acute critical cause of ICU in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) may be hospitalized for longer periods of time due to accompanying diseases or iatrogenic causes. This disease is called "Chronic Critical Illness" (CCI). CCI is associated with prolonged acute mechanical ventilation, but there is no definition in the literature for newborns. Pediatric CCI is estimated to be similar to adults. In the United States, the number of CCI is around 250,000, which is estimated to have doubled in the last 10 years. 50% of patients die in one year and much less than 12% recover. The estimated annual cost for the CCI in the United States is over $ 20 billion. The prevalence of Pediatric CCI in Turkey is unknown. In this study, it was aimed to investigate risk factors, mortality and cost of children with chronic critically ill and newborn patients in intensive care units in Turkey.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Critical care unit mortality

    The mortality change rates in the 30th Day, 90th Day, 180th Day, 365th Day

    Measured: 30 Day, 90 Day, 180 Day, 365 day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Critical care unit costs for infant patients

    Cost of patients staying in intensive care unit

    Measured: Duration of intensive care unit stay (From 14 day to 1 years after hospitalization)

  2. Critical care unit costs for premature newborn

    Cost of patients staying in intensive care unit

    Measured: Duration of intensive care unit stay (From 1 month to 1 year after hospitalization)
