a
There were 948 children with multiple hospital admissions and 189 hospital admissions with multiple ICU types.
b
Based on Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Pediatric Heart Surgery Volume, Quality Indicators (5). This definition of congenital heart disease excludes patent ductus arteriosus as the sole condition.
c
Defined as consecutive calendar days and no missing mean airway pressure or fraction of inspired oxygen data.
Blank cells indicate not calculated (because of movement between ICUs within the same hospitalization or ventilation episode).
