Electrolyte levels and recovery in critically ill children
This study looks at whether abnormal electrolyte levels (salts and minerals in the blood) on the first day in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) can help predict how well a child will do. It aims to find early warning signs that might improve care for very sick children.
