Abstract EN
Background : Little is known on the impact of risk factors that may complicate the course of critical illness.
Scoring systems in ICUs allow assessment of the severity of diseases and predicting mortality.
Objectives : Apply commonly used scores for assessment of illness severity and identify the combination of factors predicting patient’s outcome.
Methods : We included 231 patients admitted to PICU of Cairo University, Pediatric Hospital.
PRISM III, PIM2, PEMOD, PELOD, TISS and SOFA scores were applied on the day of admission.
Follow up was done using SOFA score and TISS.
Results : There were positive correlations between PRISM III, PIM2, PELOD, PEMOD, SOFA and TISS on the day of admission, and the mortality rate (p < 0.0001).
TISS and SOFA score had the highest discrimination ability (AUC : 0.81, 0.765, respectively).
Significant positive correlations were found between SOFA score and TISS scores on days 1, 3 and 7 and PICU mortality rate (p < 0.0001).
TISS had more ability of discrimination than SOFA score on day 1 (AUC : 0.843, 0.787, respectively).
Conclusion : Scoring systems applied in PICU had good discrimination ability.
TISS was a good tool for follow up.
LOS, mechanical ventilation and inotropes were risk factors of mortality.
