Comparison of In-hospital Mortality Prognostic Accuracy of the pSOFA Score and SIRS Criteria Among Children With Infection Admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Units: A Retrospective Multi-center Cohort Study
Abstract:Background: The sepsis version 3.0 highlights the co-existence of infection with organ dysfunction, assessed by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. However, the prognostic accuracy of the Pediatric SOFA score (pSOFA) for in-hospital mortality was not fully validated. We compared the performance of the pSOFA with the SIRS criteria as predictors of in-hospital mortality in children with infectious disease and evaluate whether the pSOFA is suitable to be used in pediatric intensive care units (P… Show more
