Patient Backgrounds and Outcomes of Mechanically Ventilated Children Treated in ICUs Versus General Wards in Japan: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using a National Inpatient Database
Most of the children on mechanical ventilation in Japan were treated in general wards. The treatment of patients in general wards was associated with higher mortality than in ICUs, suggesting the need to centralize the care for mechanically ventilated pediatric patients in ICUs.
