About this study

Official title: the Impact of Nutritional Status on Clinical Outcome of Children Admitted in PICU OF Assuit Children University Hospital

Malnutrition is believed to be associated with clinical outcomes in ill patients and several studies have shown that nutrition status play a major role in disease prognosis in adults .

Different authors have described an increase in morbidity and mortality attributable to malnutrition, as it lead to state of partial immunosuppression, delay wound healing ,causes muscular atrophy and increase length of stay.

Read the detailed description

Several studies have investigated the predictive role of an extremely low body weight on disease prognosis and outcomes among general and critically ill children .They enrolled all patients consecutively admitted to pediatric intensive care unit PICU) , therefore , being underweight may have resulted from endocrine diseases, genetic syndromes or other systemic underlying illnesses .

The impact of low body weight on outcomes of acutely critically ill but previously healthy children is still unknown.

Many studies evaluate the clinical status and outcome by pediatric index of mortality (PIM2) as a popular and reliable predictive score .

In this study, we will investigate the impact of being underweight or proper weight on mortality and morbidity among acute critically ill children with no genetic, endocrine, or chronic systemic illness at PICU admission

    impact of nutritional status on clinical outcome of children admitted in PICU

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the correlation between nutritional status of children admitted in PICU and outcomes

    nutritional status measured by weight in kilograms and height in meters will be combined to report BMI for Z scoreand outcomes measured by pediatric index of mortality2 (PIM2)

    Measured: 2 years
