pSOFA may aid mortality prediction in PICU; leaves open need for multicenter validation before routine adoption.
Observational (n=150)
No
Effect estimate: AUC 0.86 (95% CI 0.79-0.93)
Shah et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Critically ill children admitted to PICU (n=150). pSOFA score was evaluated on Mortality (AUC 0.86, 95% CI 0.79-0.93). The pSOFA score demonstrated good performance in predicting mortality among PICU patients, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.86.
