Outcomes of critically ill children with pre-existing mental health conditions.
Article in Pediatric investigation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Importance: Critically ill children with pre-existing mental health conditions may have an increased risk of poor health outcomes. Objective: We aimed to evaluate if pre-existing mental health conditions in critically ill pediatric patients would be associated with worse clinical outcomes, compared to children with no documented mental health conditions. Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study utilized the TriNetX electronic health record database of critically ill subjects aged 12-18 years. Data were analyzed for demographics, pre-existing conditions, diagnostic, medication, procedural codes, and mortality. Results: From a dataset of 102 027 critically ill children, we analyzed 1999 subjects (284 [14.2%] with a pre-existing mental health condition and 1715 [85.8%] with no pre-existing mental health condition). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that death within one year was associated with the presence of pre-existing mental health conditions (odds ratio 8.97 [3.48-23.15], Interpretation: The present study demonstrates that the presence of pre-existing mental health conditions was associated with higher odds of death within 1 year after receiving critical care. However, the confidence interval was wide and hence, the findings are inconclusive. Future studies with a larger sample size may be necessary to evaluate the true long-term impact of children with pre-existing mental health conditions who require critical care services.
