Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the Paed-EQUAL scale's ability to predict mortality in pediatric patients with candidemia.
Assessment of pediatric patients diagnosed with candidemia
Use of the Paed-EQUAL score to evaluate clinical outcomes
Analysis of microbiological factors related to mortality
Higher Paed-EQUAL scores correlated with increased mortality rates
Patients scoring ≥ 16.5 had notably improved survival rates

Implication

Study demonstrates the Paed-EQUAL score predicts mortality in pediatric candidemia, highlighting its clinical importance.

Abstract

The present study revealed that the Paed-EQUAL score can predict mortality in pediatric patients with candidemia. Patients with a Paed-EQUAL score of ≥ 16.5 had significantly higher rates of survival.
