Journal ArticleDOI
Paediatric index of mortality 3: an updated model for predicting mortality in pediatric intensive care*.
Lahn Straney,Archie C. A. Clements,Roger C Parslow,Gale Pearson,Frank Shann,Janet Alexander,Anthony Slater +6 more
TL;DR: The Paediatric Index of Mortality 3 provides an international standard based on a large contemporary dataset for the comparison of risk-adjusted mortality among children admitted to intensive care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality related to invasive infections, sepsis, and septic shock in critically ill children in Australia and New Zealand, 2002-13: a multicentre retrospective cohort study.
Luregn J. Schlapbach,Luregn J. Schlapbach,Lahn Straney,Janet Alexander,Graeme MacLaren,Graeme MacLaren,Graeme MacLaren,Marino Festa,Andreas Schibler,Andreas Schibler,Anthony Slater +10 more
TL;DR: Severe infections remain a major cause of mortality in paediatric ICUs, representing a major public health problem, and future studies should focus on patients with the highest risk of poor outcome, and assess the effectiveness of present sepsis interventions in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sunburn and malignant melanoma.
TL;DR: The hitherto circumstantial evidence of a causal relationship between exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation and melanoma is extended, and it is suggested that precautionary measures could prevent the development of this disease in a proportion of cases in fair-skinned populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of pediatric sepsis mortality within 1 h of intensive care admission
Luregn J. Schlapbach,Luregn J. Schlapbach,Luregn J. Schlapbach,Graeme MacLaren,Graeme MacLaren,Marino Festa,Janet Alexander,Simon Erickson,John Beca,Anthony Slater,Andreas Schibler,Andreas Schibler,David Pilcher,David Pilcher,Johnny Millar,Lahn Straney +15 more
TL;DR: The importance of lactate, cardiovascular, and respiratory derangements at ICU admission for the identification of children with substantially higher risk of sepsis mortality is demonstrated, supporting the need for specialized definitions of septic shock severity in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burden of disease and change in practice in critically ill infants with bronchiolitis
Luregn J. Schlapbach,Lahn Straney,Ben Gelbart,Janet Alexander,Janet Alexander,Donna Franklin,John Beca,Jennifer A. Whitty,Jennifer A. Whitty,Subodh Ganu,Subodh Ganu,B. Wilkins,Anthony Slater,Elizabeth Croston,Simon Erickson,Andreas Schibler,Andreas Schibler +16 more
TL;DR: An increasing healthcare burden due to severe bronchiolitis is observed, with a major change in practice in the management from invasive to non-invasive support that suggests thresholds to admittance of bronchiolaitis patients to ICU have changed.
