A research project funded by NICHD to study neurocognitive outcomes and recovery in pediatric sepsis survivors over one year, examining the impact of acute brain dysfunction during sepsis.
Description
This study aims to evaluate neurocognitive outcomes and recovery trajectories in pediatric sepsis survivors, focusing on the association of acute brain dysfunction (ABD) during sepsis with subsequent neurocognitive morbidity. The study will involve a prospective longitudinal design with assessments at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-discharge, using caregiver-reported measures and performance-based neuropsychological evaluations.
