Evaluating Pediatric eCART for Critical Illness Risk

This study is looking at how well a new tool called pediatric eCART works. Pediatric eCART is a computer program that uses information from your electronic health records to help doctors identify children at high risk for serious health problems like pediatric ALL (a type of leukemia) or sepsis (a life-threatening response to infection). The study will compare health outcomes of up to 30,000 pediatric patients before and after pediatric eCART is put into use at UW Health. The main goals are to see if using pediatric eCART can reduce deaths in the hospital and increase the number of days children spend out of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status, but it includes pediatric patients up to 17 years old who are in the hospital.

Study design
This is an interventional study comparing health outcomes before and after the pediatric eCART tool is implemented, involving up to 30,000 pediatric patients.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants' in-hospital mortality will be assessed throughout their hospital stay, and ICU-free days will be measured for up to 28 days.

Patients eligible for pediatric eCART scoring include pediatric (\<18 years of age) patients
Inpatient locations

Exclusion

Patients who are ineligible for pediatric eCART scoring
Neonates and birth encounters will be excluded from the pediatric eCART study
UW Health nurses no longer employed at UW Health

What this trial measures

  • In Hospital Mortalityassessed through hospital stay (typically up to 5 days on average, but may be over 60 days)
  • Intensive Care Unit (ICU) free daysup to 28 days

    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.
