PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the proportion of @entity1 who survived after @entity341 ( @entity341 ) for @entity130 using a national database. METHODS: A review of the National @entity130 Data Bank was performed for years 2007-2012 to identify @entity1 <18years of age who underwent @entity341 for @entity130 . RESULTS: Eighty-four @entity1 <18years of age underwent @entity341 after @entity130 . Every @entity1 died during their hospitalization. The median age was 15 (IQR 6-17) years. Mean injury severity score (ISS) was 34.2 (SD 20.8), and 56% had an ISS of 26-75. Data for "signs of life" were available for 21 @entity1 . Fifteen (71%) had signs of life upon @entity2613 arrival. Sixty percent of @entity1 died in the @entity2613 . Of those who survived to the operating room (OR), 66% died in the OR. Four @entity1 (5%) survived more than 24hours in the intensive care unit, three of whom had a maximum head abbreviated injury score of 5. CONCLUSION: There were no survivors after @entity341 for @entity130 in the pediatric population in this national dataset. Usual indicators for @entity341 after @entity130 in adults may not apply in @entity1 , and use should be discouraged without compelling evidence of a reversible cause of extremis.
