Margaret Parker, MD, FCCM, speaks with MD, MPH, Angela S. Czaja, MD, MSc, lead author on an article published in the July Pediatric Critical Care Medicine titled, “Unscheduled Readmissions to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: Epidemiology, Risk Factors and Variation Among Centers.” Dr. Czaja’s study found that the rate of unscheduled PICU readmissions was low but associated with worse outcomes. Additionally, patient and admission/discharge characteristics associated with increased risk of readmissions could be used to target high-risk populations or modifiable factors to improve outcome. Czaja is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Colorado, in Aurora, Colorado, USA.
