Post-intensive-care syndrome for the pediatric neurologist.
The investigators are working to create awareness and help mitigate post-intensive-care syndrome in pediatric patients who had experienced primary neurological injury and also help their parents and siblings. In this paper they review current knowledge regarding post-intensive-care syndrome in pediatrics and its risk factors. They describe their experience establishing Pediatric Neurocritical Care Recovery Programs at two large academic centers. They also provide a battery of validated tests to identify and manage the different aspects of post-intensive-care syndrome in pediatrics.

Relationship between intensive care unit delirium severity and 2-year mortality and health care utilization.
Critical care patients with delirium are at an increased risk of functional decline and mortality long term. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between delirium severity in the intensive care unit and mortality and acute health care utilization within 2 years after hospital discharge. The investigators concluded that increased delirium severity and days of delirium or coma were associated with higher mortality risk 2 years after discharge.
