title: [Use of an intervention index in pediatric intensive care].
abstract: A universal therapeutic intervention score system (TISS) was applied to 122 acute pediatric patients treated in intensive care unit. The index is well correlated with hospital mortality but there was a zone of values, TISS greater than 40, with a mixture of survivors and deceased. The index seems useful in judging the seriousness of symptoms.
