Regardless of trauma status, children with shock had an increased mortality rate compared with those without shock (all patients: 11.4% vs 2.6%), trauma patients (28.3% vs 1.2%), and nontrauma patients (10.5% vs 2.8%). Early shock reversal was associated with reduced mortality (5.06% vs 16.37%) and functional morbidity (1.56% vs 4.11%) rates. Early use of PALS\/APLS-recommended interventions was associated with reduced mortality (8.69% vs 15.01%) and functional morbidity (1.24% vs 4.23%) rates. After controlling for center, severity of illness, and trauma status, early reversal of shock and use of PALS\/APLS-recommended interventions remained associated with reduced morbidity and mortality rates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS: Shock is common in children who are transferred for tertiary care. Pediatric shock recognition and resuscitation in the community hospital improves survival and functional outcome regardless of diagnostic category. The development of shock\/trauma systems for children with and without trauma seems prudent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2008-1967","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,27]],"date-time":"2009-07-27T07:32:55Z","timestamp":1248679975000},"page":"500-508","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":136,"title":["Mortality and Functional Morbidity After Use of PALS\/APLS by Community Physicians"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Joseph A.","family":"Carcillo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics and Critical Care Medicine, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bradley A.","family":"Kuch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics and Critical Care Medicine, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong Y.","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases, University of Michigan Medical School, C.S.
