As a proof of concept, a recurrent neural network (RNN) model was developed using electronic medical record (EMR) data capable of continuously assessing a child's risk of mortality throughout an ICU stay as a proxy measure of illness severity.

Targets for treatment of raised intracranial pressure or decreased cerebral perfusion pressure in pediatric neurocritical care are not well defined.

Mannitol is a commonly used osmotherapy agent in raised intracranial pressure (ICP) but the side effects are significant.

Cystic fibrosis patient care has advanced greatly in recent years and the mortality rate has improved.
