PICU Mortality Risk Scores

PIM3 (Pediatric Index of Mortality 3)

Timing: Data collected at time of first face-to-face contact with PICU physician (pre-ICU or within first hour of admission).

Pupillary Reactions

PaO₂ (mmHg)

FiO₂ (decimal 0-1)

Base Excess (mmol/L)

Systolic BP (mmHg)

Mechanical Ventilation at any time in first hour?

Elective Admission?

Recovery from Surgery or Procedure?

High Risk Diagnosis?

Low Risk Diagnosis?

PRISM IV (Pediatric Risk of Mortality)

Timing: Worst values in first 24 hours of PICU admission.

Note: This is a simplified version. Full PRISM IV includes additional variables and age-specific scoring. Consider using validated PRISM calculators for clinical decisions.
