A simple nomogram for predicting the mortality of PICU patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy: a multicenter retrospective study

As one of the serious complications of sepsis in children, sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is associated with significantly poor prognosis and increased mortality. However, predictors of outcomes for pediatric SAE patients have yet to be identified. The aim of this study was to develop nomograms to predict the 14-day and 90-day mortality of children with SAE, providing early warning to take effective measures to improve prognosis and reduce mortality.
