Pediatric Rhabdomyolysis in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Sponsor: Hannover Medical School
Summary
This retrospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate the clinical characteristics, causes, intensive care management, and outcomes of pediatric patients with rhabdomyolysis admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Hannover Medical School between 2007 and 2020. The study uses routinely collected clinical data from medical records without any study-related intervention or additional patient contact. The primary objective is to identify factors associated with acute kidney injury, mortality, organ failure, and intensive care resource utilization. In addition, the study aims to develop a prognostic score to support early risk stratification of critically ill children with rhabdomyolysis. The findings may improve the understanding of this rare condition and support future clinical decision-making.
