Abstract

Conclusions: Pediatric patients treated at PICUs showed lower mortality. Requirement of mechanical ventilation, emergency admission, and readmission less than 48 hours after discharge and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, acute infections, hematologic/oncologic disease, and nonsurgical trauma were associated with higher risk of mortality.
