Abstract:

Objective To explore the application value of pediatric critical illness score (PCIS), pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM) Ⅲ score, pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (pSOFA) score, radiographic assessment of lung edema (RALE) score and acute lung injury score (LIS) in the prognosis evaluation of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (pARDS). Methods The clinical data of children diagnosed with ARDS admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 80 ARDS children with sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction were enrolled, including 45 boys and 35 girls, and the median age was 12.5 (4.0-36.3) months. There were 50 patients in the survival group and 30 patients in the death group (16 died during hospitalization and 14 died after abandonment). Compared with the survival group, the death group had higher oxygenation index (OI), higher pSOFA and PRISM Ⅲ scores at transferring to PICU and diagnosing ARDS, higher RALE and LIS scores at diagnosing ARDS, and higher proportion of vasoactive substances application and blood transfusion. Furthermore, compared with the survival group, the death group had shorter total hospital stay, PICU stay and mechanical ventilation time, and lower proportion of intrapulmonary factors, PO2/FiO2 and PCIS scores. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with the group without underlying diseases, the scores of pSOFA, PRISM Ⅲ, RALE, and LIS were higher and the scores of PCIS were lower at the diagnosis of ARDS in the group with underlying diseases, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The AUCs of PCIS, pSOFA, PRISM Ⅲ, RALE, and LIS at the diagnosis of ARDS in predicting the death of ARDS children were 0.73, 0.89, 0.83, 0.80 and 0.82, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that PCIS had the best fitting effect between predicted mortality and actual mortality (χ2=4.16, P=0.656). Conclusions PCIS, pSOFA, PRISM Ⅲ, RALE and LIS scores all have good predictive ability for the prognosis of children with ARDS, and pSOFA score had the highest predictive value. PCIS had the best fitting effect between predicted mortality and actual mortality.
