Iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (IWS) is a complication of prolonged sedation/analgesia in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients. The epidemiology of IWS is poorly understood, as validated diagnostic tools are rarely used. The main objective of our study was to use the WAT-1 score to assess the incidence of IWS in our unit. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the consequences of IWS, associated factors, and management modalities.
