News:

The KIDS THRIVE study has recruited 503 patients with WCH PICU in Adelaide recruiting the 500th patient to this trial at the end of April 2020. Recruitment has been a bit slower since the Covid 19 crisis due to reduced surgical lists and our PICU’s and ED’s being quieter.

The KIDS THRIVE Steering Committee is working hard in the background to finalise the data cleaning process for all patients and aims to commence this shortly.

This trial is exceptional, and we thank the huge effort that all sites continue to put in to making this study successful and demonstrating that research can be done in critically ill children in the emergency setting when we all work together.

Thank you!
