Irish Paediatric Critical Care Audit National Report 2020: including a special chapter on COVID-19 and Paediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome (PIMS-TS) 2020–2022
The Irish Paediatric Critical Care Audit (IPCCA) collects personal, organisational, and clinical data on all infants and children with a clinically determined need for paediatric critical care. The audit database is provided by the Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet), which aims to support the continual improvement of paediatric intensive care provision throughout the United Kingdom (UK) and the Republic of Ireland (ROI) by providing detailed information on paediatric intensive care activity and outcomes. The quality of care delivered is measured against the Paediatric Critical Care Society (PCCS) standards, which cover the entire patient pathway from initial referral to paediatric critical care, specialist transport, and inpatient care.</p
