Late adopter includes both ICUs meeting the bundle compliance criteria after 502 days (n=5) or not yet meeting criteria (n=3).

CICU=cardiac intensive care unit (pediatric); IQR=interquartile range; Mixed=unit has both PICU and CICU patients; PICU=pediatric intensive care unit.

Calculated for the 5 late adopter sites that met compliance criteria by end of study period.

P-values were calculated with Fisher’s exact test for categorical values and Wilcoxon rank sum test for numeric values.
