Admission factors associated with nutritional status deterioration and prolonged pediatric intensive care unit stay in critically ill children: PICU‐ScREEN multicenter study

Abstract

CCC at admission was associated with NS deterioration. Age <2 years, fluid overload, and hypoalbuminemia at PICU admission were associated with prolonged PICU stay. These factors must be further evaluated as part of an admission nutrition screening tool for critically ill children.
