The study was conducted following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement [9].
The data used in this study were retrospectively extracted from the electronic health record (EHR) system running in the PCICU at Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital between January 1, 2018, and February 29, 2020. All data were extracted and processed in a de-identified format.
Bambino Gesù Ethics Committee approved the study design and waived the need for informed consent due to the retrospective nature of the study (protocol number 2002_OPBG_2019).
