摘要
Study objective: To assess whether a general emergency department ' s (ED) annual pediatric sepsis volume increases the odds of delivering care concordant with Surviving Sepsis pediatric guidelines. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of children < 18 years with sepsis presenting to 29 general EDs. Emergency department and hospital data were abstracted from the medical records of 2 large health care systems, including all hospitals to which children were transferred. Guideline -concordant care was de fined as intravenous antibiotics within 3 hours, intravenous fluid bolus within 3 hours, and lactate measured. The association between annual ED pediatric sepsis encounters and the probability of receiving guideline -concordant care was assessed. Results: We included 1,527 ED encounters between January 1, 2015, and September 30, 2021. Three hundred and one (19%) occurred in 25 EDs with < 10 pediatric sepsis encounters annually, 466 (31%) in 3 EDs with 11 to 100 pediatric sepsis encounters annually, and 760 (50%) in an ED with more than 100 pediatric sepsis encounters annually. Care was concordant in 627 (41.1%) encounters. In multivariable analysis, annual pediatric sepsis volume was minimally associated with the probability of guideline -concordant care (odds ratio 1.002 [95% confidence interval 1.001 to 1.00]). Care concordance increased from 23.1% in 2015 to 52.8% in 2021. Conclusion: Guideline -concordant sepsis care was delivered in 41% of pediatric sepsis cases in general EDs, and annual ED pediatric sepsis encounters had minimal association with the odds of concordant care. Care concordance improved over time. This study suggests that factors other than pediatric sepsis volume are important in driving care quality and identifying drivers of improvement is important for children first treated in general EDs.
