Abstract

Objectives: Previous studies applying Sepsis-3 criteria to children were based on retrospective analyses of PICU cohorts. We aimed to compare organ dysfunction criteria in children with blood culture-proven sepsis, including emergency department, PICU, and ward patients, and to assess relevance of organ dysfunctions for mortality prediction. Design: We have carried out a nonprespecified, secondary analysis of a prospective dataset collected from September 2011 to December 2015. Setting: Emergency departments, wards, and PICUs in 10 tertiary children’s hospitals in Switzerland. Patients: Children younger than 17 years old with blood culture-proven sepsis. We excluded preterm infants and term infants younger than 7 days old. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: We compared the 2005 International Pediatric Sepsis Consensus Conference (IPSCC), Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2), pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA), and Pediatric Organ Dysfunction Information Update Mandate (PODIUM) scores, measured at blood culture sampling, to predict 30-day mortality. We analyzed 877 sepsis episodes in 807 children, with a 30-day mortality of 4.3%. Percentage with organ dysfunction ranged from 32.7% (IPSCC) to 55.3% (pSOFA). In adjusted analyses, the accuracy for identification of 30-day mortality was area under the curve (AUC) 0.87 (95% CI, 0.82–0.92) for IPSCC, 0.83 (0.76–0.89) for PELOD-2, 0.85 (0.78–0.92) for pSOFA, and 0.85 (0.78–0.91) for PODIUM. When restricting scores to neurologic, respiratory, and cardiovascular dysfunction, the adjusted AUC was 0.89 (0.84–0.94) for IPSCC, 0.85 (0.79–0.91) for PELOD-2, 0.87 (0.81–0.93) for pSOFA, and 0.88 (0.83–0.93) for PODIUM. Conclusions: IPSCC, PELOD-2, pSOFA, and PODIUM performed similarly to predict 30-day mortality. Simplified scores restricted to neurologic, respiratory, and cardiovascular dysfunction yielded comparable performance.
