E308-E317 | Pages: | E308-E317 | Journal: | Communicable diseases intelligence quarterly report | Abstract: | Severe respiratory infections make up a large proportion of Australian paediatric intensive care unit (ICU) admissions each year. Identification of the causative pathogen is important and informs clinical management. We investigated the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the ICU-setting using data collated by the Australian and New Zealand Paediatric Intensive Care (ANZPIC) Registry from five ICUs in Queensland, Australia. We describe diagnostic testing use among pertussis and influenza-related paediatric ICU admissions between 01 January 1997 and 31 December 2013.L6241931952018-10-11 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L624193195&from=export | Keywords: | register;statistics and numerical data;preschool child;adolescentchild;comorbidity;female;health survey;history;hospital admission;hospital mortality;human;infant;influenza;male;molecular diagnosis;New Zealand;newborn;pediatric intensive care unit;pertussis;Queensland | Type: | Article |
