Pediatric International Nutrition Study - a Prospective, Multicenter Cohort Study of Nutritional Practices and Outcomes in Pediatric Intensive Care Units Around the World
In Brief
An observational study evaluating No intervention for Pediatric Critical Illness. Completed, enrolled 1,944 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a multi-site study of how nutrition is delivered to critically ill patients in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) around the world. Each site will include mechanically ventilated children in their respective PICUs and record the details of what type and amount of nutrition was received. These details will be compared to goals designated by the clinicians caring for each patient. Data will be entered in a secure online remote data capture tool and managed by the lead researchers in Pediatric Critical Care Nutrition at Boston Children's Hospital, Nilesh Mehta, MD and Lori Bechard, PhD, RD. Data will be analyzed to better understand how different types and amounts of nutrition impact important PICU outcomes such as length of stay, ventilator time, incidence of infections, and mortality.
