What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on critically ill children who have experienced sepsis, tracking their long-term outcomes over a five-year period. The research aims to assess various factors such as growth, neurodevelopment, survival rates, and quality of life following their discharge from pediatric intensive care units. A control group of matched children without underlying diseases will also be included for comparison. The study seeks to provide insights into the lasting impacts of sepsis on young patients.
