The research study will investigate the longitudinal cognitive outcomes in subjects admitted
as children diagnosed with sepsis who may have had acute kidney injury. Each subject will be
contacted 2-15 years after their incident admission in order to solicit responses to a
functional and cognitive quality of life survey. Children admitted during the same time frame
that did not have kidney injury will also be surveyed.

250 subjects with a prior admission for pediatric sepsis will be contacted 2-15 years
following the incident admission in order to complete a survey to assess their overall
quality of life. Children will be administered the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) survey
with a parental section to allow for parental response. Adult subjects will take the adult
version of the PedsQL.
