Registration Number
NCT02372734
Lead Sponsor
University of Florida
Brief Summary

The research study will investigate the longitudinal cognitive outcomes in subjects admitted as children diagnosed with sepsis who may have had acute kidney injury. Each subject will be contacted 2-15 years after their incident admission in order to solicit responses to a functional and cognitive quality of life survey. Children admitted during the same time frame that did not have kidney injury will also be surveyed.

Detailed Description

250 subjects with a prior admission for pediatric sepsis will be contacted 2-15 years following the incident admission in order to complete a survey to assess their overall quality of life. Children will be administered the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) survey with a parental section to allow for parental response. Adult subjects will take the adult version of the PedsQL.
