عنوان انگلیسی Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Admitted to a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Southwest Iran
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Current status data on pediatric critical care in Iran are insufficient. This study was performed to identify the characteristics and outcomes of critically ill children admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in Ahvaz, Iran. A retrospective study was carried out among all patients in the PICU at Abuzar Hospital during one year. Medical records of patients who were treated in the PICU were reviewed. A total of 400 patients were identified. Their average age was 29.94±39.55 months and 53.8% of them were males. Nearly half of the patients were under age one. The most common causes of PICU admission were respiratory (36.5%), neurological (18.5%), and infection-related diseases (15%). Besides, 55.7% of patients (n=223) had no history of underlying health problems. Admissions were more frequent in winter (n=125; 31.3%) and spring (n=101; 25.3%). The mean length of hospital stay and mortality rate were 10.79±6.39 days and 15.5%, respectively. In addition, 231 patients had an abnormal respiratory rate and a quarter of them (n=97) required ventilation support. Moreover, 377 and 82 patients were malnourished and severely underweight, respectively. There was a significant association between mortality of patients and having malnutrition, as well as consanguineous parents (p< 0.001). The death rate was significantly higher in patients with infectious disease than non-infectious, as well as long-stay PICU patients than short-stay patients (p< 0.05). Further studies are warranted to identify factors contributing to disease burden among PICU patients in Iran to develop appropriate therapeutic strategies and improve the outcomes of pediatric patients.
