Brief Summary: When children suffer from a critical-illness the investigators focus on resuscitating and saving lives Once these children leave the pediatric intensive care unit very little is known about what happens to them - how long it takes for them to recover how families cope and what factors that impede their recovery The specific objective of this research project is to evaluate how children and their families recover after a critical illness

Research Hypotheses Following a critical illness in children 1 the rate and degree of health and functional recovery is influenced by the following factors age pre-admission co-morbid status critical illness severity discharge functional status and time to initiating acute rehabilitation 2 functional recovery is influenced by caregiver burden and health-related quality-of-life HRQoL
Detailed Description: The Specific Objective of this study is to evaluate the trajectory of health and functional outcomes in children following a critical illness define poor functional recovery and evaluate predictors of poor recovery

The Research Questions for this study are 1 What are the health and functional outcomes in children affected by a critical illness at 3 and 6 months following Pediatric Intensive Care Unit PICU discharge 2 What defines poor functional recovery 3 What are predictors of poor functional recovery in critically ill children 4 What are the most important and relevant outcomes in critically ill children from the patient and caregivers point of view
