Article Synopsis
- Pediatric patients in intensive care with multiple organ failures have a higher mortality risk, making accurate assessment crucial for treatment allocation.
- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the PRISM IV score in predicting mortality within the first 24 and 72 hours of PICU admission at H. Adam Malik General Hospital.
- Results showed that while certain lab values differed significantly between the 24 and 72-hour assessments, the PRISM IV scores themselves were not reliable predictors of mortality, suggesting that more research is needed to confirm these findings.

Various specimens can be used to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and saliva has been considered as an alternative specimen in adults. However, data in children are lacking, especially among the female population.
