What 8 variables does PIM3 use?

PIM3 includes: elective PICU admission, cancer diagnosis, cardiac bypass, mechanical ventilation at hour 1, base excess, FiO2, systolic BP, and pupil reactivity. All collected at first hour of PICU admission.

What is the PIM3 score interpretation?

PIM3 probability of death is calculated via logistic regression. It is not used for individual treatment decisions but for benchmarking: SMR (standardized mortality ratio) = observed deaths / PIM3-predicted deaths, with SMR below 1 indicating better than expected performance.

PIM3 Pediatric Index of Mortality

Calculate Pediatric Index of Mortality 3 (PIM3) using 8 admission variables to predict probability of death in PICU patients for quality benchmarking and research stratification.
