Can the Pediatric Risk Assessment (PRAm) score accurately predict in-hospital perioperative mortality in children undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.950 (95% CI 0.938-0.961)
The PRAm score is a highly accurate, simplified tool for predicting perioperative mortality in children undergoing noncardiac surgery.
Nasr et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in children undergoing noncardiac surgery (n=183,423). Pediatric Risk Assessment (PRAm) score was evaluated on incidence of in-hospital mortality (AUC 0.950, 95% CI 0.938-0.961). The Pediatric Risk Assessment (PRAm) score accurately predicted in-hospital mortality in children undergoing noncardiac surgery, with a validation AUC of 0.950 (95% CI 0.938-0.961).
