Improving acute care for Primary Mitochondrial Disease: Development of a publicly available clinical care pathway
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Primary mitochondrial diseases (PMD) are an increasingly recognized cause of multi-system organ dysfunction. Children frequently require acute care in an inpatient setting, though many hospitals do not have access to metabolic specialists. We developed a publicly available, evidenced-based clinical pathway utilizing expert consensus guidelines to guide the care of PMD patients during an emergency department visit and/or hospitalization. Utilization of the pathway may help improve triage time, clarify therapeutic options, and help initiate disease-specific screening.
