Abstract
We conducted this study to evaluate the outcome of 203 patients admitted to PICU,
using PRISM score. Overall mortality was 16.7%. The mean PRISM score was
6.5±3.6 and 15.5±7 for survivors and non survivors, respectively (OR: 1.36; 95%
CI=1.24–1.5; P<0.001). PRISM score also correlated well with length of hospital
stay and the number of organ failures (P<0.001). A cut off score of 15 was
associated with 89.2% accuracy. PRISM score is highly sensitive in predicting the
outcome of pediatric patients in an ICU setting.
