NEURO CRITICAL CARE MODULE
Jose A. Pineda, MD MSCI

Regardless of the primary diagnosis, neurological outcome has the largest impact on quality of life
Neurological Diagnosis and Pediatric Intensive Care
• 3X use of Intensive Care and account for 50% of deaths• In the ICU: 3X mortality, significantly longer LOS, higher
median cost
VPS TBI Mortality
Pineda et al, 2013
- 91 children urgently admitted to the ICU for resuscitation- 1 mo abnormal adaptive behavior functioning- Also abnormal functional outcome and poor quality of life
Ebrahim et al, 2013

Conclusions
• Pilot data in the NCC module confirms this is a great opportunity
• Consider participating: good return on investment
• Need to initiate hypothesis driven projects as soon as possible
