Impact of Preexisting Neurologic Conditions and Developmental Delay on Outcomes Following Pediatric Sepsis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion focuses on the impact of sepsis on children, particularly those with pre-existing neurologic disabilities. It highlights the importance of assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as a key outcome, especially in pediatric critical illness. Various instruments, like PSQL and FS2R, measure HRQoL, which can be challenging in children with communication difficulties. Findings from the LAP study indicate that pre-existing conditions, such as acute kidney injury, are linked to poorer outcomes. Baseline HRQoL significantly influences recovery, making it crucial for healthcare providers to consider these factors when managing and counseling families.
