Methodology: This study used a case control design. Cases were selected from patients 0-18 that experienced a risk event or unplanned ICU admission within 24 hours of PACU discharge. Controls were selected randomly from patients that did not have a risk event or unplanned ICU admission after PACU discharge to acute care unit. Patient data was pulled from the electronic medical record and analyzed logistic regression. Area under the ROC (AUC) curve was calculated to determine discriminative power.
