Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Mortality is the most frequently assessed outcome. So, it is very important to look for the predicting factors of PICU mortality including PRISM III score. Aim: To assess the risk factors contributing to the increased mortality in our PICU. Material and methods: This is a prospective observational study done at Narayana Hrudayalaya Multispecialty Hospital, Bangalore, India .Standard demographic, clinical and laboratory data was obtained prospectively from all the patients stayed in PICU for >6 hours. Patients who had history of chronic disease were excluded. Patient’s hospital course followed to determine the early outcome of their acute sickness (as dead or survived). Results: Out of 144 patients admitted to the PICU, 16 (11.1%) patients died. Children with acute respiratory distress syndrome at admission were at 3 times higher risk of death (adjusted OR: 3.44, 95% CI: 0.992-11.952). Children with PRISM III scores of >10 were at 6 folded higher risk of death in the PICU (adjusted OR: 6.47, 95% CI: 0.743-56.340). Children with Acute kidney injury, acute liver failure and MODS were at 2 fold higher risk of death with the values of adjusted OR: 2.118, 95% CI: 0.508-8.839, OR: 2.130, 95% CI: 0.561-8.077 and OR: 2.066, 95% CI: 0.292-14.640 subsequently. Conclusion:- In addition to PRISM III score ARDS,Acute kidney injury, Acute liver failure, MODS and haemodialysis were also found to be significant but not independent predictors of mortality in PICU.
