Additional characteristics at time of PICU admission.
BMI, body mass index; PRISM-3; Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score.
Variables with minimal missing data are noted as follows: age at first PICU admission n = 1 (0%); neutrophil recovery relationship to first PICU admission n = 18 (2%); aGVHD grade unknown n = 2 (0%); cGVHD relationship to first PICU admission, missing n = 26 (2%), cGVHD grade unknown n = 4 (0%).
Children (aged from 2 to <20), BMI is adjusted by sex and age (mo) according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention smoothed growth charts with percentile cutoffs as follows: underweight (<5%), normal weight (5%-84.9%), overweight (85%-94.9%), and obese (≥95%). Adults aged ≥20 years, BMI is interpreted using standard weight status categories as follows: underweight (<18.5), normal weight (18.5-24.9), overweight (25.0-29.9), and obese (≥30.0). These categories are the same for men and women of all body types and ages.
Variables with significant missing data are noted as follows: aGVHD relationship to first PICU admission, missing or not collected n = 605 (56%).
