Abstract

OBJECTIVES: As research examining child health outcomes after PICU admission grows, so does the need for the identification and synthesis of a large body of literature. We aimed to create an open-access scoping repository of literature describing longer-term health outcomes after PICU admission, using a large multinational team (crowdsourcing) and a machine learning (ML) algorithm.
