Descriptions of PACH respiratory care populations and outcomes, however, remain under-reported. Our aim was to describe demographics, respiratory outcome, and longitudinal trend of children with respiratory support admitted to a single PACH in the United States. METHODS Using electronic records from 2009 to 2018, data were examined for all children dependent on respiratory support.
