Multicenter StudyAssociation of center volume with outcomes in critically ill children with acute asthma.
Little is known about the relation between center volume and outcomes in children requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission for acute asthma. ⋯ In children with acute asthma, this study establishes a relation between center volume and ICU length of stay. However, this study fails to show any significant relation between center volume and the odds of receiving positive pressure ventilation; further analyses are needed to evaluate this relation in more detail.
