Outcomes Analysis of Children Diagnosed With Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in the PICU.
Describe a single center experience of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in a PICU over a 10-year period, to identify clinical features that may be associated with worse outcomes, including mortality, hospital and ICU length of stay, and functional and cognitive impairments on discharge. ⋯ Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis diagnosed in the PICU is a disease with high mortality. Patients who survive to discharge had relatively little morbidity, however, the mortality risk in the year following discharge continued to remain high.
