The Importance of Pediatric Scoring Systems of Multiorgan

Introduction: Use scoring systems facilitates and enables decision making about the appropriate therapeutic treatment (right evaluation and classification of the patient group at high risk), which can also increase the likelihood of survival rationalize a decision on the need and intensity of therapy. Aims: To analyze the Pediatric Logistics Organ Dysfunction Scoring system (PELOD) and Pediatric Risk Score of Mortality (PRISM), in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU) of tertiary pediatric medical facility. Methods: The study included a 90 patients aged 0-18 years, in the period of three years. To analyze parameters of the PELOD and PRISM score. In the analysis were used statistical data about predictors of mortality: Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve and HosmerLemeshow goodness of fit test (HL-GOF).
