DiscussionOur study has quantified the characteristics and workload of children admitted to both NNU and PICU in the first 2 years of life. Within the general population, only 1% of children aged <1 year are admitted to PICU, but of those admitted to NNU, 4.8% were also admitted to PICU before 2 years. While only a small percentage of babies admitted to NNU required admission to PICU, these children represent approximately half of the children admitted to PICU aged under 2 years.
