Recent improvements in medical technologies, specialized healthcare providers, and standard care helped us to be able to better control patients’ critical conditions and have a lower mortality rate<\/strong> in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICS).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The decrease in mortality rate highlighted an increase in morbidity and, post-discharge complications<\/strong>. This can be due to the fact that children deal with higher severity of illness and have longer stays in the intensive care units.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After discharge from PICU, many of the hospitalized children and their families including parents and siblings show adverse outcomes months to years after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Switzerland, each year 5000 children require critical care and get admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Units. While the survivor rate is high, there is no data regarding children and family health after discharge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a robust understanding of children\u2019s and family outcomes, and investigating factors that affect them we cannot help the patients and their families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The PICSS-PF study is designed to answer the following questions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
