This study aimed to determine how many children are admitted to PICU with life-limiting conditions (LLC) and their outcomes. The study found that children with a LLC accounted for the majority of admissions, bed-days and deaths in PICU; children with a LCC were 75% more likely to die in PICU than those without a LLC, and there was a 93% survival at 1 year for children with a LCC.
