Key result
The Tp-e/QT ratio was an independent predictor of mortality among 93 pediatric intensive care unit patients with sepsis, of whom 41 died.
Why the study?
Does the Tp-e/QT ratio predict mortality in pediatric patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit?
Observational (n=196)
Does the Tp-e/QT ratio predict mortality in pediatric patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit?
The Tp-e/QT ratio derived from a standard 12-lead ECG may serve as a valuable, non-invasive independent predictor of mortality in pediatric patients with sepsis.
