Geospatial Analysis of Social Determinants of Health Identifies Neighborhood Hot Spots Associated With Pediatric Intensive Care Use for Acute Respiratory Failure Requiring Mechanical Ventilation*

Social determinants of health identified by geospatial analyses are associated with acute respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in critically ill children. Interventions addressing the neighborhood social vulnerability and child opportunity are needed to decrease disparities in intensive care admissions for acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation.
