Abstract
We studied the association of Pediatric Risk of Mortality scores with nosocomial infections among 341 critically ill patients admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit between June 1998 and December 2000. Through stepwise logistic regression analysis, the best predictors for nosocomial infections were device utilization ratio, antimicrobial therapy, and length of stay.Entities:
