[A method of evaluating the severity of children's condition at a department of intensive therapy and resuscitation].
The condition severity was expressed by an index of clinical condition (ICC)-a score (three-point system) used for the assessment of syndrome therapy techniques for the correction of damages in five vital systems (respiration, circulation, metabolism, hemostasis, liver-kidneys). The assessment was performed 24 h after the patient was admitted into an intensive care unit. Depending on the ICC value and the potential lethal outcome the patients were entered into 4 groups. The method was tested on 347 children in three major children's hospitals in Byelorussia. The data obtained make it possible to assess objectively the work in intensive care units and analyse hospital lethality. The method suggested is adjusted for children and is simple in practical application.
