Abstract

Background: Adult septic patients with substance abuse disorder (SUD) are at increased risk of poor outcomes, but the impact on adolescents is unknown. We aimed to determine if pre-existing SUD is associated with increased adverse outcomes and critical care resources in critically ill adolescents hospitalized with sepsis. We hypothesize that SUD is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes and usage of critical care resources in this adolescent patient population.
