Key result
PIM2 was the most accurate mortality prediction model for pediatric intensive care, demonstrating excellent discrimination and calibration.
Why the study?
Does PIM2 provide better mortality prediction compared to PIM, PRISM, and PRISM III in pediatric intensive care patients?
Observational (n=26,966)
Yes
Does PIM2 provide better mortality prediction compared to PIM, PRISM, and PRISM III in pediatric intensive care patients?
PIM2 is the most accurate mortality prediction model for monitoring the quality of pediatric intensive care in Australia and New Zealand, outperforming PIM, PRISM, and PRISM III.

Slater et al. (2004) conducted an observational in pediatric intensive care (n=26,966). PIM2 mortality prediction model vs. PIM, PRISM, and PRISM III models was evaluated on Discrimination between death and survival (AUC) and calibration (standardized mortality ratio) (SMR 0.97, 95% CI 0.86-1.05). PIM2 was the most accurate mortality prediction model for pediatric intensive care, demonstrating excellent discrimination and calibration.
