A network for improving care in critically ill children
Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network - Data Coordinating Center
This study is all about finding better treatments for seriously ill children by working together with different hospitals, and it’s for families who have kids in critical care who might take part in testing new ways to help them get better.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the care of critically ill children by expanding a collaborative network that conducts clinical trials and observational studies. The University of Utah will help coordinate efforts across 24 clinical sites to investigate personalized treatments for conditions like sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The project aims to ensure rigorous data collection, regulatory compliance, and the integrity of trial results, ultimately improving outcomes for young patients. Families of children in critical care may be involved in studies that assess new treatment protocols and their effectiveness.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation are critically ill children aged 0-11 years who are receiving care in participating clinical sites.
Not a fit: Patients who are not critically ill or those outside the age range of 0-11 years may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved treatment protocols for critically ill children, potentially saving lives and enhancing recovery.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research within similar collaborative networks has shown promise in improving outcomes for critically ill pediatric patients, indicating a strong potential for success in this expanded initiative.
