Outcome of Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation

Conclusions:
Six-month survival of pediatric HSCT patients was 25% and the odds of death were increased by cardiovascular failure but not by MOF. Receipt of mechanical support (ventilation, CRRT) or cardiovascular support (inotropic agents) decreased the likelihood of long-term survival.
