What this trial studies

This study aims to establish a high-quality standardized clinical database for pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) inpatients across major cities in China. It will collect data on the incidence, fatality rates, pathogen distribution, and anti-infective treatments for community-acquired and nosocomial infections among patients admitted to the PICU from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2025. All patients will be followed until death or withdrawal from the PICU, allowing for comprehensive analysis of clinical outcomes and treatment efficacy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of severe infections in children and improve treatment protocols in PICUs.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in establishing clinical databases for infection tracking, suggesting this approach may yield valuable insights.
