[Choice of the optimal scale for evaluation of the severity of sepsis in children].
Quantitative assessment of the severity of clinical status was carried out and prognostic values of PRISM III, PRISM, SOFA, APACHE II scores and scores proposed by A. Castellanos et al. and K. L. Goitein was evaluated in 105 children (2 months-14 years) with sepsis. Clinical status evaluated in score during the first day of intensive care was correlated to the disease outcome. Sensitivity, specificity, expected values of positive and negative results were evaluated for each score and their discrimination capacity was assessed by ROC analysis. Use of quantitative scores (PRISM, PRISM III, SOFA, APACHE II, and A. Castellanos') is permissible for prospective evaluation of the efficiency of intensive care in children with sepsis, PRISM being the most informative.
