Aim; The aim of this study was to compare Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score III (PRISM III) and Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) scores with characteristics of the patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit, and to determine the success of these scores for predicting the mortality and survival rates. Methods: A total of 372 patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit between March 2017 and March 2018 were included in the study. Sex, age, causes of hospitalization, underlying diseases, surgery, PRISM III, PELOD scores, mechanical ventilation during the first 24 hours, transfusion within the first 24 hours, hemogram values at the admission and survival or exitus of the patients were recorded. Results: Of the patients, 188 were female (50.5%) and 184 were male (49.5%). The mean age was 48 (12-144) months. 92.2% of the patients were discharged and 7.8% were excitus. PRISM III and PELOD scores were significantly higher in the patients who were exitus (p <0.001). However the median value was 12 (4.5-23.5) for PRISM III and 12 (1-28) for PELOD scores in the patients who were exitus. The mean length of stay in intensive care unit was 4 (3-9) days during the study period whereas this interval was 5 (3-9) days in patients with underlying disease. The PRISM III had a specificity of 67.3%, and a sensitivity of 89.66% as a mortality predictor (Cut-off > 3). On the other hand, the specificity and sensitivity of PELOD were 93.8% and 51.7% for predicting mortality (Cut-off > 11). Conclusion: PRISM III is a significant predictor of mortality and PELOD score is a significant predictor of morbidity. PRISM III and PELOD scores can be effectively used for predicting mortality and morbidity in pediatric intensive care units.
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırılan hastaların Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score III(PRISM III) ve Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction(PELOD) skorları ile hastaların karakteristik özelliklerinin kıyaslanması ve bu skorların eksitus ve hayatta kalma oranlarını göstermedeki başarısını araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Mart 2017-Mart 2018 tarihleri arasında çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırılan toplam 372 hasta çalışmaya alınmıştır. Hastaların cinsiyeti, yaşı, yatış nedeni, altta yatan hastalık, cerrahi olup olmaması, PRISM III, PELOD skorları, ilk 24 saatte mekanik ventilatör izlemi, ilk 24 saat içinde transfüze edilip edilmemesi, yatış hemogram değerleri ve hastanın eksitus olup olmaması sonuçları kaydedildi. Bulgular: Hastaların 188’i kız (%50.5), 184‘ü erkek (%49.5) ti. Yaş ortalamaları 48 (12-144) ay olarak hesaplanmıştır. %92.2 si servise devir veya taburcu edilirken %7.8 i eksitus olmuştu. PRISM III ve PELOD değerleri eksitus olan hastalarda anlamlı derecede yüksek (p<0.001) iken medyan değeri PRISM III ve PELOD için eksitus olan hastalarda 12 olarak saptanmıştır. Ortalama yoğun bakım yatış süresi bu süreçte 4 (3-9) gün olup altta yatan hastalığı olanlarda ortalama 5 (3-12) gün olarak hesaplanmıştır. PRISM III ün spesifitesi %67.35 iken sensitivitesi %89.66, PELOD içinse spesifite %93.86, sensitivite %51.7 saptandı. Sonuç; PRISM III skoru mortaliteyi, PELOD skoru morbidiyeti tahmin etmede güçlü skorlardır. PRISM III ve PELOD skorları çocuk yoğun bakım ünitelerinde mortalite ve morbiditeyi öngörmede kullanılabilir.
