Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cumulative 28-day Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD-2) score

    The cumulative Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD)-2 score over 28 days from randomization. The range of daily PELOD-2 scores is from 0 - 33, with higher scores representing worse organ function.

    28 days from randomization

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • 3-month health-related quality of life

    3 months post-randomization

  • 3-month functional status
