Summary

Improvements in medical care have led to decreasing mortality rates in critically ill children, which have been reported to be as low as 5%. However, surviving critical illness does not necessarily translate to a return to pre-critical illness functional and developmental levels. Adult literature has shown that critical illness increases functional disability for up to five years post intensive care unit stay. We hypothesize that children experience similar functional disabilities as a result of critical illness, which may, as in adults, be primarily due to muscle wasting. The aim of this prospective observational pilot study is establish the relationship between intensive care unit stay and functional outcomes in pediatric survivors of critical illness.
