Comparison of Mortality Predictive Scoring Systems in PICU Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Rapidly developing the intensive care units [ICUs] created the need for quantitative and clinically relevant surrogates to evaluate the effectiveness of the management protocols. Predictive scoring systems have been developed to measure the severity of disease and prognosis of patients in the intensive care unit [ICU]. Such scoring systems are useful in clinical decision making, standardizing research and comparing the quality of patient care across ICUs. The outcome of the ICU patients in both adults and children depends on many factors present within the first 24 hours of admission. Many scoring systems have been developed for the ICU populations but very few are actually used in practice. In this study, 4 such scoring systems – namely APACHE II, SOFA, MODS and PRISM shall be studied and compared.
