Key result
In a cohort of 56,263 children receiving 101,885 anesthetics, the incidence of anesthesia-related death was 0.98 per 10,000 anesthetics (95% CI, 0.5 to 1.8).

No
Anesthesia-related mortality in pediatric practice is extremely low overall, but the risk is significantly elevated in children with major comorbidities such as pulmonary hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Reassures low pediatric anesthesia mortality overall; extends incidence benchmarks but leaves open comorbidity-specific risk stratification.
Griend et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Children undergoing anesthesia (n=56,263). Anesthesia was evaluated on Anesthesia-related death (95% CI 0.5 to 1.8). In a cohort of 56,263 children receiving 101,885 anesthetics, the incidence of anesthesia-related death was 0.98 per 10,000 anesthetics (95% CI, 0.5 to 1.8).
