Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a study comparing 3 years of retrospective data (pre-implementation) to 2 years of prospective data after the implementation of a pediatric version of Electronic Cardiac Arrest Risk Triage (pediatric eCART), a clinical decision support (CDS) tool that uses electronic health records (EHR) to identify patients with high risk for life threatening outcomes. Up to 30,000 encounters with pediatric patients will be assessed. Acceptability of the pediatric eCART intervention will also be measured from pediatric nurse clinicians.

Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- In Hospital Mortality
- timeFrame
- assessed through hospital stay (typically up to 5 days on average, but may be over 60 days)
- measure
- Intensive Care Unit (ICU) free days
- timeFrame
- up to 28 days
- description
- Defined as the number of days patients were both alive and discharged from the ICU out of the first 28 days of hospitalization. Because death is biased toward fewer ICU days and is a competing outcome, patients who die prior to day 28 are assigned with 0 ICU-free days.
