What this trial studies

This is a prospective observational study conducted in 13 hospitals to measure the prevalence of acute rehabilitation activities among pediatric patients in intensive care units. Data will be collected at three predefined time points to capture real-world patterns across multiple sites. The study focuses on observed rehabilitation practices and related barriers in the PICU setting.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Finding how often rehabilitation is used could help guide future efforts to improve timely involvement of rehab for critically ill children.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in ICU settings have shown variability in rehabilitation practices; this study adds data specific to Korean PICUs.
