Comparison of two prognostic scores (PRISM and PIM) at a pediatric intensive care unit

Abstract: Analyzing the tests we can observe that, although the PIM test was less well calibrated overall, both PRISM and PIM offer a good capacity for discriminating between survivors and moribund patients. They are tools with comparable performance at the prognostic evaluation of the pediatric patients admitted to our unit.

“…(17) Aiming to compare the diagnoses that resulted in hospitalization in a PICU according to organic dysfunction, we verified in the literature differences with a greater proportion of cardio-circulatory dysfunctions (30%) followed by respiratory (27%) and neurological (22%) dysfunctions. (12) Respiratory dysfunctions predominated in this study.…”

“…(15) The median age found in this study was children younger than two years old while most were male. Other studies report a higher percentage at an older age in relation to the age of the sample in intensive care, that is, 44.3 months (12) and 8.5 years old in international study. (16) Similar results concerning gender were also verified in an epidemiological study conducted in a PICU.…”

“…Therefore, the aim of PICU to suppress the number of deaths (mortality) and the rate of disability (morbidity) can be achieved. [1][2][3] Technology advances in PICU resulted to a more sophisticated care for children, therefore making the PICU prepared to treat cases of high complexity at high cost. However, the technology available has no always succeeded in improving the quality of patient care and to augment life expectancy.…”

“…4 Since they compare mortality adjusted by disease severity, these scores can also be used for comparisons between clinical trials and for planning technological resources in this area. 1,6,7 Mortality and length of hospital stay are examples of the most used outcomes. Scoring systems are arrived at evaluation of the patient's mortality risk in the ICU by assigning a score to patient and predicting the outcome.…”
