IMPORTANCE OF PICUIMPORTANCE OF PICU Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is an important component
of tertiary pediatric care services.
PICU aims at promoting qualified care for critically ill children .
These units are points of major technology transfer and constitute one of the main consumers of hospital budgets.
o Lakshmi (2008) reported that 15-20 % of hospital budgets are spent in ICUs
o Abdul-Monim B (2001) reported that ICUs consume :• 10% of hospital beds• 30% of acute care hospital cost• > 20% of hospital budgets

Critically ill child means a child who is in a clinical state which may result in respiratory or cardiac arrest or severe neurologic complication .
Risk for critical illness may be primary cardiovascular or respiratory or secondary to neurologic , infectious , metabolic disorder or serious injury .
Infection is the most common & septic shock is a catastrophic immune system reaction which produce organ failure .

MULTIPLE ORGAN DYSFUNCTIONSYNDROME IN CHILDREN (MODS)
The simultaneous occurrence of at least two organ failure.
MODS is important because of its frequent occurrence and its association with high mortality in the pediatric intensive care unit
25% of the children admitted to PICU has MODS and that the mortality associated with it is up to 50%.
In fact, from 97% to 100% of the deaths in PICUs have been related to MODS.

Estimation of disease severity and probability of death are important elements in determining the prognosis of patients in PICU.
A more accurate prognostic assessment can lead to more appropriate monitoring , proper management and family counseling.
ICU scoring systems are devised to determine probable outcome of the patients admitted to the ICU
( Marshall et al., 2003)

The most commonly measured PICU outcomes are mortality, length of stay, functional outcome, and organ dysfunction .
The 2 most commonly used scoring systems to predict ICU mortality are the Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) and the Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) .
Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) has recently been validated with good discrimination.
(Qureshi et al., 2007)
Scoring systems in PICUScoring systems in PICU
Benha Faculty Of Medicine - EGYPT
The Clinical Classification System ( CCS ) and the Therapeutic Intervention System ( TISS ) are indirect measures of illness severity .
The CCS is a qualitative assessment of care requirements on admission and the TISS is a quantitative measure of therapeutic requirements.

The Physiologic Stability Index ( PSI ) is a more direct measure of illness severity but is time consuming , requiring the use of 34 variables.
The Pediatric Risk of Mortality ( PRISM ) was developed from the PSI to reduce the number of variables to 14 without losing its predictive power.
Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) has recently been validated with good discrimination.
(Qureshi et al., 2007)

The PELOD score has developed to estimate disease
severity and probability of death for ICU patients .
It includes six key organ dysfunctions :
cardiovascular, respiratory, hematological, neurological,
renal, and hepatic. The maximum number of points for an
organ dysfunction is 20 and the maximum PELOD score is
71.
The total score gives us the percentage of probability of
death PELOD Score.htm Table.doc

The ICU is an expensive treatment facility where patients of high mortality rates are treated.
Estimation of disease severity and probability of death are important elements in determining the prognosis of patients in PICU.
A more accurate prognostic assessment can lead to
more appropriate monitoring , proper management , and family counseling.
PELOD has recently been validated with good
discrimination.
Benha Faculty Of Medicine - EGYPT
PELOD scoring system is highly reliable and very
sensitive to measure severity of illness and determine the probability of death in PICU.
It is valid to be a valuable detector for PICU services and a sensitive director for appropriate monitoring , proper management & family counseling
It gives the priority to focus on vital parameters that affects total score number and the corresponding outcome for patients in PICU.
