Loh SW, Gan MY, Wong JJM, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to describe the change in functional status score from baseline to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and hospital discharge in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), as well as to identify risk factors associated with poor functional outcomes in PARDS survivors. From 2009 to 2016, clinical records of patients with PARDS admitted to the PICU were examined. Findings revealed that there were 181 patients with PARDS, and 90 (49.7%) of them lived. In PARDS survivors, acquired morbidity in respiratory and feeding domains was prevalent. These two domains of functional outcomes in these children should be given special attention.
