Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of the Neonatal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (nSOFA) scoring system in predicting mortality in very preterm infants with late-onset sepsis (LOS).
- It analyzed data from 120 episodes of LOS in infants born before 32 weeks' gestation, comparing nSOFA scores at various time points and found that higher scores were linked to increased mortality risk.
- The results suggest that nSOFA is a viable tool for predicting health outcomes in extremely preterm infants, with potential enhancements through additional factors like birth weight and immune cell counts.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is characterized by persistent fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, conjunctivitis, headaches, and mucocutaneous manifestations and it can cause circulatory dysfunction, resulting in hypotension, shock, and end-organ injury in the heart and other organs and possibly death. In this study, we aimed to analyze the clinical spectrum, treatment options and outcomes of children with MIS-C who were admitted to our pediatric intensive care (PICU). Clinical and laboratory findings and treatment of the patients admitted to the PICU with MIS-C between April 2020 and January 2021 were recorded, and their outcomes were evaluated.
