Fig 2.
Survival rates from the first admission to the PICU.
The figure shows a comparison of the survival rate with time from the first admission to the PICU after single and repeated admissions respectively. Solid lines = Data from patients with a single admission. Dotted lines: Data from patients with repeated admissions. Blue lines: Data from boys. Red lines: Data from girls.
Fig 3.
SMR at different time periods after PICU admission to the end of the observation period.
The figure shows a comparison of SMR from patients with a single admission (Closed symbols) and repeated admissions (Open symbols). SMR expresses the mortality risk, as compared to the general population of the same age and sex. The 95% confidence intervals are given by the error bars. Statistical significances are indicated by non-overlapping confidence intervals. EOP = End of Observation Period.
Fig 4.
Funnel plots showing SMR for different age and risk stratification groups.
The presented data are from the first admission to the PICU. A: Single admission to PICU. B: Repeated admissions to PICU. The 95 and 99.8% confidence intervals of SMR of the entire study population, in relation to number of cases, are given by the solid and dotted lines, respectively.

Bar graph showing SMR for different PICU admission diagnosis.
The presented data are from the first admission to the PICU. The SMRs are derived from the general population.
