Key result
Modified Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 scores using the SpO2/FiO2 ratio demonstrated equivalent discrimination (AUC 0.86) to the standard score for predicting mortality in pediatric ICU patients.
Why the study?
Does using the SpO2/FiO2 ratio instead of PaO2/FiO2 maintain the validity of the Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score in pediatric intensive care patients?
Observational (n=1,043)
No
Does using the SpO2/FiO2 ratio instead of PaO2/FiO2 maintain the validity of the Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score in pediatric intensive care patients?
The SpO2/FiO2 ratio could potentially be used in place of PaO2/FiO2 for calculating the Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score, maintaining good discrimination.

Supports noninvasive PIM2 scoring in pediatric ICU; leaves open practice adoption pending prospective validation.

Leteurtre et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Pediatric intensive care unit patients (n=1,043). Modified Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 scores using SpO2/FiO2 vs. Standard Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score was evaluated on Discrimination (AUC) for mortality prediction. Modified Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 scores using the SpO2/FiO2 ratio demonstrated equivalent discrimination (AUC 0.86) to the standard score for predicting mortality in pediatric ICU patients.
