PEdiatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction Score, version 2. pediatric intensive care unit.
Patient initial severity was assessed using the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) [19] and Logistic Organ Dysfunction (LOD) [20] scores.
Median Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 was 0.85 (25 75 %: 0.2 3), and median Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction was 1 (25 75 %: 0 1).
Pediatric Index of Mortality PIM score was calculated on day 0 and the Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction PELOD)Score was recorded daily.
Organ failure was assessed by the measurement of PEdiatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction Score, version 2 (PELOD-2) at day 1, 3, and 7 [21].
Demographic data and patient's characteristics, including age, gender, weight, time of measurements, admission diagnostic and comorbidities, Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) II and Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) scores, were collected.
In a general pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) population, the PEdiatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 score (PELOD-2) score had both a good discrimination and calibration, allowing to describe the clinical outcome of critically ill children throughout their stay.
Kaplan Meier estimator was used to analyze survival adjusted to disease severity (Logistic Organ Dysfunction, Simplified Acute Physiology Score, Knaus, McCabe scores) and Kaplan Meier survival curves were compared by Cox proportional hazards test.
COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; LOD = Logistic Organ Dysfunction.
