TL;DR: This work aimed to summarize the available literature and provide practical guidance for the paediatric critical care clinicians around important clinical questions many of which are not covered by previous guidelines.

TL;DR: The clinical phenotype was further characterised by multiorgan involvement including mild psychomotor retardation, and microcephaly, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, micronodular liver cirrhosis, associated with life-threatening and recurrent infections due to combined T- and B-cell dysfunction and neutrophil dysfunction.

TL;DR: A large variation in nursing practices around nutrition was found, exacerbated by the lack of nutritional guidelines but also because of the inadequate nursing knowledge around nutritional factors.

TL;DR: Assessment of nutritional status in critically ill children should include both undernutrition and faltering growth, which is a newly identified independent associated factor of suboptimal outcome in this setting (extended length of stay).

TL;DR: Physicians’ nutritional practices are inconsistent and awareness of hyponatremia risk and pathophysiology is insufficient among physicians, and new guidelines including detailed nutritional management recommendations are urgently needed.
