Functional Outcomes at 1 Year After PICU Discharge in Critically Ill Children With Severe Sepsis

Conclusions: Children with severe sepsis had significant “new onset” mild to moderate functional disability at PICU discharge, and most of these children recovered within 1 year after PICU discharge. Day 1 pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score and patient receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the ICU stay were found to be the significant risk factors of “worse outcomes.”
