Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and neonatal intenisve care units (NICUs) provide life-saving treatments to the most vulnerable critically ill paediatric and neonatal patients. They require complex time-pressured clinical decision making with high-stakes outcomes. Since they are data-heavy clinical environments, both PICUs and NICUs would greatly benefit from real-world precision and personalised medicine approaches. Depsite advances in research-based artificial intelligence (AI) and omics methodologies, real-world clinical use of these data-driven precision and personalised medicine approaches in PICUs and NICUs remain extremely rare. A better understanding of recent advances and the existing barriers to clinical translations of AI, omics, and other data-hungry methodologies to PICUs and NICUs will underpin future research and clinical adoptions of precision care in these environments.
The Journal of Personalised Medicine has launched this Special Issue. We are calling for submissions of original research articles and systematic and narrative reviews on research and potential future applications of data-driven precision and personalised care in paediatric and neonatal intensive care. We welcome contributions concerning paediatric and/or neonatal intensive care patients, covering the whole spectrum of patients admitted to PICUs and/or NICUs. These include (but are not limited to) airway disease, ventilatory management, acute respiratory failure, hemodynamics, acute cardiomyopathies, post-operative congential cardiac patients, point-of-care ultrasonography, acute kidney injury, renal replacement therapies, nutrition, sepsis management, antibiotic usage in the PICU/NICU, traumatic brain injuries and other acquired brain injuries, care of the extremely premature, and post-operative surgical patients requiring PICU/NICU care.
Warmest regards,

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
