Reducing Childhood Admissions to the PICU for Poisoning (ReCAP2) by Predicting Unnecessary PICU Admissions After Acute Intoxication

Abstract: These validated models identified children at very low risk of clinically significant intoxications for whom pediatric intensive care admission can be avoided. Application of this model using Georgia Poison Center data could have resulted in a 30% reduction in PICU admissions following intoxication.

“…Our findings of higher initial and peak QTc values being associated with PICU stays align with prior literature (15, 16) that used predictive models to anticipate which admissions for intoxication would require intensive care. As many commonly ingested substances, especially psychiatric medications, are known to increase QTc value, increased QTc was both a common occurrence and a likely a primary impetus for PICU admission due to increased risk for life-threatening cardiac abnormalities and arrhythmias.…”
