Methods Secondary analysis of prospectively collected data from an international multicenter cluster-randomized trial. Clinical deterioration events with urgent ICU admission were defined as late if the Children’s Resuscitation Intensity Scale was > 2 (indicating critical care interventions started from 12 h pre- to 1 h post-urgent ICU admission). The association of late admission with primary outcomes (ICU and hospital mortality) was estimated using logistically generalized estimating equation models adjusted for PIM2 probability of death. Results There were 2979 clinical deterioration events in 2502 patients, including 620 (20.8%) late ICU admissions. ICU mortality of the last urgent ICU admission was 15.4% for late compared to 4.5% for non-late ICU admission (PIM-adjusted OR (95%CI) 1.63 (1.14, 2.33), p < 0.01). Hospital mortality was 19.7% in late compared to 6.0% for non-late urgent ICU admission (PIM-adjusted OR 1.56 (1.12, 2.16), p < 0.01). Late ICU admissions accounted for 20.9% of clinical deterioration events, and 90/179 (50.2.0%) of ICU and 103/222 (46.4%) of hospital deaths after clinical deterioration events. Secondary outcomes associated with late ICU admission included longer ICU stay (2.3 days, p = 0.02), more ventilation days (407/1000 ICU days, p < 0.0001), and more frequent treatment with dialysis, inhaled nitric oxide, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( p < 0.01). Conclusion Late ICU admission from hospital wards was associated with higher ICU and hospital mortality, greater use of ICU technologies, and longer ICU stays. How to prevent late ICU admission and its consequences requires further study.","PeriodicalId":73402,"journal":{"name":"Intensive care medicine.

Design Retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected vital signs monitoring data linked to patient demographic and transport data. Setting A regional pediatric critical care transport team based in London, England. Patients Critically ill children (age ≤ 18 years) transported by the Children’s Acute Transport Service (CATS) at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) between January 2016 and May 2021 with available high-frequency vital signs monitoring data. Interventions None. Main results Numeric values of heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturations (SpO 2 ), and end-tidal carbon dioxide in ventilated children (etCO 2 ) were extracted at a frequency of one value per second totalling over 40 million data points. Age-varying vital signs (HR, BP, and RR) were standardized using Z scores. The distribution of vital signs measured in the first 10 min of monitoring during transport, and their progression through the transport, were analyzed by age group, diagnosis group and severity of illness group. A complete dataset comprising linked vital signs, patient and transport data was extracted from 1711 patients (27.7% of all transported patients). The study cohort consisted predominantly of infants (median age of 6 months, IQR 0–51), and respiratory illness (36.0%) was the most frequent diagnosis group. Most patients were invasively ventilated (70.7%). The Infection group had the highest average (+ 2.5) and range (− 5 to + 9) of HR Z scores, particularly in septic children. Infants and pre-school children demonstrated a greater reduction in the HR Z score from the beginning to the end of transport compared to older children. Conclusions Marked differences in the distribution and progression of vital signs between age groups, diagnosis groups, and severity of illness groups were observed by analyzing the high-frequency data collected during paediatric critical care transport.","PeriodicalId":73402,"journal":{"name":"Intensive care medicine.
