Inter-facility transport to centralized centres with paediatric expertise is an established practice. Patient outcomes and resources consumed are not well understood in Ontario and other Canadian jurisdictions. We performed a retrospective multicentre observational study of critically ill children who underwent inter-facility transport to a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in Ontario from 2004 to 2012. We identified 4074 transports. The annual absolute number of transports increased each year. The transport system is used by a young population with heavy health care use prior to transport, who required a significant amount of resources for transport, in the PICU, and for hospitalization following transport. Over a third of transports were for respiratory disease and for infants under 6 months of age. The PICU mortality rate for transported children was almost double the general PICU mortality rate. Almost half of ICU deaths occurred in the first 24 hours following transport. Availability of a paediatrician at the referral hospital was associated with a lower PICU mortality. ; M.Sc. |
