Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Data obtained from the pattern of admission and outcome in a PICU is beneficial in re-evaluating existing services and improving facilities and patient care. Method: We analyzed the records of PICU patients with regard to their age, sex, cause of admission and their outcome over one year period since Feb 2016 to January 2017. Patients who left the hospital without advice (LAMA) were also noted. Result: Total 799 children were admitted during this period. Maximum number of patients belonged to adolescent age group between 10 to 19 years followed by infants and preschool children (3-6 years). Male: Female ratio was 1.3:1. Overall mortality rate was 5.13%. Maximum numbers of deaths were due to infections followed by CNS disorders. Conclusions: Mortality rate was relatively low in our study compared with many studies. Cause of admissions and mortality were maximum with infections. High LAMA rate in my study may have contributed in bias in mortality rate.
