The Usefulness of C-Reactive Protein, Procalcitonin, and PELOD-2 Score as a Predictive Factor of Mortality in Sepsis

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Sepsis in children is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Assessment of pediatric sepsis using serial Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD)-2 score can be used as a prognostic factor. The use of biomarkers of sepsis is also used for diagnosis and predicting outcomes. Many studies have suggested that C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) can be used to predict mortality.METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted to eval… Show more

“…PELOD 2 score as the best predictor of mortality compared to other predictors when used repeatedly. (Niederwanger, 2018) In this study, the PELOD 2 score was obtained using a cut off value of 7, the p value = ) could be a predictor of mortality for patients admitted to the pediatric intensive room (Lubis et al, 2020).…”

“…Other studies done previously by Horvat et.al and Lubis et.al was 21.7% and 55.7% respectively. [21][22][23] From this study, the respiratory disease was the most common disease for patients admitted to PICU and was the most common cause of death. Based on this data, it is necessary to focus on medical facilities and interventions such as immunization, improving nutrition, education about the dangers of disease and anaemia therapy for strategies to reduce respiratory-related mortality, and children under one year of age with respiratory diseases to receive…”
