Pain in the PICU: Does it affect quality of life after discharge?
Myron Yaster MD, Lynne Maxwell MD, Justin L. Lockman MD, MSEd

Mallory B Smith, Elizabeth Y Killien, Leslie A Dervan, Frederick P Rivara, Noel S Weiss, Robert Scott Watson. The association of severe pain experienced in the pediatric intensive care unit and postdischarge health-related quality of life: A retrospective cohort study.  Paediatr Anaesth. 2022 Aug;32(8):899-906. PMID: 35426458

Not surprisingly, children with more severe pain often developed chronic pain and more problems with sleep, anger, and behavioral difficulties.
