Why the study?
Does mitral annular plane systolic excursion predict mortality in children with septic shock?
Does mitral annular plane systolic excursion predict mortality in children with septic shock?
MAPSE measured at admission provides significant prognostic value for mortality in children with septic shock, potentially offering a more sensitive marker of myocardial dysfunction than LVEF.
MAPSE may aid early risk stratification in pediatric septic shock; leaves open prospective validation against LVEF before practice change.
