PRISM Score

Pediatric Risk of Mortality

The PRISM (Pediatric Risk of Mortality) is a severity assessment scale used in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) to estimate the mortality risk in hospitalized children. Developed to assist in evaluating disease severity and in the continuous monitoring of intensive treatment quality, the PRISM uses routinely collected physiological data to calculate a score that reflects the child's mortality risk.

Important: This is a simplified version for educational purposes and does not replace the full application of the PRISM scale or clinical judgment.
