Long‐term psychosocial impact reported by childhood critical illness survivors: a systematic review

Abstract: AimTo undertake a qualitative systematic review that explores psychological and social impact, reported directly from children and adolescents at least 6 months after their critical illness.BackgroundSignificant advances in critical care have reduced mortality from childhood critical illness, with the majority of patients being discharged alive. However, it is widely reported that surviving critical illness can be traumatic for both children and their family. Despite a growing body of literature in this field,… Show more

“…Repeated illness and unplanned PICU admissions can lead to physical and psychological morbidity for patients and considerable stress for families (810). For institutions, lengthy unplanned PICU readmissions may be obstacles to hospital efficiency, potentially delaying admissions of other critically ill patients or patients needing major elective surgeries.…”

“…Unplanned readmissions are a focus of healthcare quality measurement, as they may be preventable (3) and are associated with worse outcomes (45) and higher costs (67). Furthermore, repeated critical illness and hospitalization negatively impact patients and families (810). Except for a few studies focused on early readmissions (4) and readmissions during the same hospitalization (1113), it is not known how often unplanned PICU readmissions occur and who are at most risk.…”

“…Thematic synthesis does provide an insight into the potential multifaceted and complex transformations that children and adolescents can encounter. However, it is unclear whether the outcomes are isolated to specific times, or they are present throughout the experience of survival, or whether and how they may change over time 38. In addition, it is also uncertain whether there is an interplay between the reports and perceptions of significant others in survivors’ lives (eg, parents, siblings or teachers) and whether or how these may influence survivors' well-being.…”

“…[1][2][3] These complications significantly impact the functional recovery and quality of life of critically ill children and their families after hospital discharge. 4,5 As a result, there is great interest in acute rehabilitation interventions initiated in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting for both children and adults. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating safety, efficacy, and cost effectiveness of early mobilization in critically ill adults.…”
