Nutritional Status Based on Body Mass Index Is Associated With Morbidity and Mortality in Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Children in the PICU.
Lori J. Bechard,Christopher Duggan,Riva Touger-Decker,J. Scott Parrott,Pamela Rothpletz-Puglia,Laura Byham-Gray,Daren K. Heyland,Nilesh M. Mehta +7 more
TL;DR: Malnutrition is prevalent in mechanically ventilated children on admission to PICUs worldwide and classification as underweight or obese was associated with higher risk of hospital-acquired infections and lower likelihood of hospital discharge.

Effect of early supplemental parenteral nutrition in the paediatric ICU: a preplanned observational study of post-randomisation treatments in the PEPaNIC trial
Ilse Vanhorebeek,Sascha Verbruggen,Michael P Casaer,Jan Gunst,Pieter Wouters,Jan Hanot,Gonzalo Garcia Guerra,Dirk Vlasselaers,Koen F. M. Joosten,Greet Van den Berghe +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated which macronutrient was associated with harm caused by early supplemental parenteral nutrition in the Paediatric Early versus Late Parenterial Nutrition In Critical Illness (PEPaNIC) randomised trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subjective global assessment: a reliable nutritional assessment tool to predict outcomes in critically ill patients.
TL;DR: Comparison of SGA with other tests used to assess nutritional status showed that the correlation between the methods ranged from poor to superficial, and SGA is a reliable tool for predicting outcomes in critically ill patients.

International pediatric sepsis consensus conference: definitions for sepsis and organ dysfunction in pediatrics.
TL;DR: The current criteria used to define SIRS and sepsis in adults were modified to incorporate pediatric physiologic variables appropriate for the following subcategories of children: newborn, neonate, infant, child, and adolescent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of malnutrition on morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay and costs evaluated through a multivariate model analysis.
TL;DR: It was concluded that malnutrition, as analyzed by a multivariate logistic regression model, is an independent risk factor impacting on higher complications and increased mortality, length of hospital stay and costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic impact of disease-related malnutrition.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the studies investigating the prognostic implications of disease-related malnutrition and concludes that nutritional assessment is mandatory in order to recognise malnutrition early and initiate timely nutritional therapy.

PIM2: a revised version of the Paediatric Index of Mortality
TL;DR: PIM2 has been re-calibrated to reflect the improvement that has occurred in intensive care outcome and is therefore suitable for continuous monitoring of the quality of paediatric intensive care.

Weaning from mechanical ventilation
Jean-Michel Boles,Julian Bion,Alfred Connors,Margaret S. Herridge,Brian Marsh,Christian Melot,R. Pearl,Henry Silverman,Michael L. Stanchina,Antoine Vieillard-Baron,Tobias Welte +10 more
TL;DR: Weaning covers the entire process of liberating the patient from mechanical support and from the endotracheal tube and many controversial questions remain concerning the best methods for conducting this process as discussed by the authors.
