Hospital-Acquired Complications in Critically Ill Children and PICU Length of Stay, Duration of Respiratory Support, and Economics: Propensity Score Matching in a Single-Center Cohort, 2015–2020
In our PICU (2015-2020), the burden of HAC for critically ill children was highest for healthcare-associated infections. Further high-quality evidence regarding HAC prevention and prospective risk assessment could lead to improved patient outcomes and reduced costs.
