Summary

This study will track 200 children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) to see how imbalances in minerals like sodium, potassium, and calcium affect their outcomes. Researchers aim to find which imbalances are linked to higher death rates and identify factors that could be changed to improve care. The study does not test any new treatment but hopes to guide better monitoring and management.
