Kyosti E, et al. - In this national, multicenter study, researchers determined health-related quality of life 6 years following intensive care in a pediatric intensive care population in Finland in 2009 and 2010. They observed that, the majority of children and young people experienced good long-term quality of life after pediatric intensive care. Also, they noted that long-term quality of life after intensive care was determined by number of chronic diagnoses and the burden of the chronic disease, particularly neurological diseases. Asthma, epilepsy, cerebral palsy and other neurological diseases, chromosomal alterations, cancer and long-term pain, were diagnoses that were linked with poor quality of life.
