Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To provide an updated version of the Paediatric Index of Mortality 2 for assessing the risk of mortality among children admitted to an ICU. DESIGN: International, multicenter, prospective cohort study. SETTING: Sixty ICUs that accept pediatric admissions in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. PATIENTS: All children admitted in 2010 and 2011 younger than 18 years old at the time of admission and either died in ICU or were discharged. Patients who were transferred to another ICU were not included. Fifty-three thousand one hundred twelve patient admissions were included in the analysis. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS: A revised prediction model was built using logistic regression. Variable selection was based on significance at the 95% level and overall improvement of the model's discriminatory performance and goodness of fit. The final model discriminated well (area under the curve, 0.88, 0.88-0.89); however, the model performed better in Australia and New Zealand than in the United Kingdom and Ireland (area under the curve was 0.91, 0.90-0.93 and 0.85, 0.84-0.86, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Paediatric Index of Mortality 3 provides an international standard based on a large contemporary dataset for the comparison of risk-adjusted mortality among children admitted to intensive care.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
