Summary
This modified Delphi consensus developed a core outcome set (PIC-CO) for paediatric intensive care in German-speaking regions, aimed at standardising assessment of long-term morbidity in PICU survivors. A multiprofessional expert panel screened outcome domains and questionnaires, with candidate measures tested in an external Delphi survey of section members. The final set includes seven questionnaires across six domains plus 11 short-term outcomes and a structured follow-up schedule. Findings overlapped substantially with international core outcome initiatives, differing mainly in cognitive assessment and domain structuring.
