It results from a 1.5 to 3 Mb heterozygous deletion at chromosome 22q11.2 and is associated with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, including cardiac defects, palatal abnormalities, thymic hypoplasia, developmental delays, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Multiple techniques such as chromosomal microarray and sequencing techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization help in the diagnosis of 22q11.2DS. A multidisciplinary approach to management is required, involving cardiology, immunology, endocrinology, speech therapy, psychiatry, and genetics. Surveillance should include monitoring for immunodeficiency, hypocalcemia, thyroid dysfunction, hematologic complications, and psychiatric illness. Genetic counselling and prenatal testing are crucial components in guiding families and informing reproductive decision-making. Additionally, structured transition of care programs should be employed to ensure continued care into adulthood. Although 22q11.2DS has gained significant recognition in the past decades, educational gaps still persist for pediatricians, especially regarding when to suspect, genetic testing, and coordination of care. This review aims to provide insights into the epidemiology, pathogenesis, system-based clinical features, diagnosis, management, and surveillance of 22q11.2DS, highlighting practical strategies that can be employed by pediatricians to improve early detection and optimize long-term outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":20007,"journal":{"name":"Pediatrics in review","volume":"47 10","pages":"581-591"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149113582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PICS-p encompasses new or worsening impairment in physical, cognitive, emotional, and social health that affect both the child and their family. The term PICS-p also acknowledges and reinforces the traumatic impact of the critical care on the child and family dyad. Given the growing population of pediatric survivors of critical illness and the limited availability of newly emerging, specialized post-critical care clinics, it is imperative that general pediatricians, providing the child's medical home, are equipped to diagnose and manage PICS-p in the outpatient setting. In this review, we summarize the prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical course, and impact of PICS-p on children and families. We also review preventive strategies that can be implemented in the PICU and conclude with practical guidance for general pediatricians caring for children after critical illness.</p>","PeriodicalId":20007,"journal":{"name":"Pediatrics in review","volume":"47 10","pages":"557-567"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149113598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
