Brief summary

This study aimed to evaluate preoperative risk factors in pediatric patients and to determine their effectiveness in predicting intensive care unit admission within 72 hours. The study also aimed to better define the pediatric population and identify factors associated with perioperative risk.

Detailed description

The aim of this study was to evaluate preoperative risk factors and determine their effectiveness in predicting ICU admission after emergency or elective surgery in pediatric patients . To achieve this aim, data such as gender, age, height, weight, history of prematurity, post-conceptional week, ASA physical status (ASA-PS), comorbidites, history of previous anesthesia, type of surgery, tumor surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy history, surgical risk classification, and difficult airway were recorded.
