Cifra CL, Bembea MM, Fackler JC, et al. The morbidity and mortality conference in PICUs in the United States: a national survey. Crit Care Med. 2014;42(10):2252-7. doi:10.1097/CCM.0000000000000505.
Similar to prior research in internal medicine and surgical programs, this survey study found that structure and processes of morbidity and mortality (M&M) conferences in pediatric intensive care units varied widely. Moreover, there was substantial disagreement between respondents, making it unclear whether the M&M conferences actually conform to key elements of medical incident analysis.
