Vasoactive-ventilation-renal score in predicting outcome postcardiac surgery in children

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate vasoactive-ventilation-renal (VVR) score to predict outcome postcardiac surgery in children and establish the time at which the score is best to predict outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: percentile) and ICU mortality. Correlation between the outcome and scores was obtained and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves generated. Independent association of the scores with the outcome was also established. RESULTS: = 0.000). CONCLUSION: VVR score is effective and robust bedside method to predict prolonged LOS and mortality postpediatric cardiac surgery. VVR score at 48 h was the best to predict outcome.
