PRISM III = sum of all component scores (worst values, first 12h) Approximate 30-day PICU mortality: Score 0–5: <5% | Score 6–10: ~10–15% | Score 11–15: ~20–30% | Score >15: >40%
Important: PRISM III was developed and validated at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. It requires institutional calibration for local populations. The original algorithm uses logistic regression with institutional correction factors. Values shown are approximate. Consult paediatric intensivist for clinical decisions.
For clinical decision support only. Not a substitute for professional medical judgment. Paediatric critical care management requires specialist input.
