Paediatric neuromuscular scoliosis and post-operative blood pressure targets: a retrospective analysis Open
Purpose This study investigates blood pressure variations and clinical outcomes in paediatric neuromuscular scoliosis patients after deformity correction surgery to mitigate the risk of ischaemic spinal cord injury (SCI). Hypotension is pr…

Social determinants of health and intensive care unit admission rates and outcomes for children, Australia, 2013–2020: analysis of national registry data Open
Objectives To investigate the influence of non‐medical social determinants of health on rates of admission and outcomes for children admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in Australia. Study design Retrospective cohort study; analysis of…

Comparative Effectiveness of Diversion of Cerebrospinal Fluid for Children With Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Open
In this comparative effectiveness study, CSF diversion was not associated with improved outcome at 6 months after TBI, but a decrease in ICP was observed. Given the higher quality of evidence generated by this study, current evidence-based…

Real-time seizure detection in paediatric intensive care patients: the RESET child brain protocol Open
Introduction Approximately 20%–40% of comatose children with risk factors in intensive care have electrographic-only seizures; these go unrecognised due to the absence of continuous electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring (cEEG). Utility o…

Comparison of Intracranial Pressure Measurements Before and After Hypertonic Saline or Mannitol Treatment in Children With Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Open
In this comparative effectiveness research study, bolus HTS was associated with lower ICP and higher CPP, whereas mannitol was associated only with higher CPP. After adjustment for confounders, both therapies showed no association with ICP…

Queensland Paediatric Cardiac Service: Lessons from evolution to a unified service in a tertiary children's hospital Open
We describe a complex change process for the paediatric cardiac service in Queensland that involved transitioning the service out of an essentially adult hospital into one of two children's hospitals in Brisbane. This initial step was comp…

RACHS‐ANZ: A Modified Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery Model for Outcome Surveillance in Australia and New Zealand Open
Background Outcomes for pediatric cardiac surgery are commonly reported from international databases compiled from voluntary data submissions. Surgical outcomes for all children in a country or region are less commonly reported. We aimed t…

Burden of disease and change in practice in critically ill infants with bronchiolitis Open
Bronchiolitis represents the most common cause of non-elective admission to paediatric intensive care units (ICUs). We assessed changes in admission rate, respiratory support, and outcomes of infants <24 months with bronchiolitis admitted …
