Mortality is similar among adolescents admitted to AICUs and PICUs; however, these rates have not been corrected for severity of acute illness or underlying burden of chronic illness, which may be different between AICUs and PICUs. Services planned for the majority of AICU and PICU patients may not be optimal for critically ill adolescents treated in UK intensive care units, who may need special consideration.
