Adults with childhood-onset chronic conditions admitted to US pediatric and adult intensive care units.
The purpose of the study is to compare demographics, intensive care unit (ICU) admission characteristics, and ICU outcomes among adults with childhood-onset chronic conditions (COCCs) admitted to US pediatric and adult ICUs. It found that adults with COCCs admitted to pediatric units were significantly more likely to be younger, have lower functional status, and be nontrauma patients than those in adult units.

Chronic critical illness: a growing legacy of successful advances in critical care*.
As the population ages, and advances in critical care continue to improve survival among the most severely ill patients, many assert that the incidence of chronic critical illness (CCI) will continue to rise. The authors discuss an article (Kahn, et al) in the same issue that highlights the growing incidence of CCI and the problems it poses.
