To assess the association between Vasoactive Inotrope Score (vis) and mortality in children with fluid-refractory septic shock.
A retrospective chart review of 71 children (age 1 mo-16y) admitted with fluid-refractory septic shock in pediatric intensive care unit during a two year period was done. We divided our cohort into two groups viz High vasoactive inotrope score (Group-H) and Low-vasoactive inotrope score (Group-L) based on a cut-off value of 20.
73% of the children were in Group-L. The mortality rate was 44% and 100% in Group L and Group H, respectively.
High inotropic score in children with septic shock is associated with high mortality rate.
评估血管活性正性肌力评分（VIS）与液体难治性感染性休克患儿死亡率之间的关联。
对两年期间入住儿科重症监护病房的71例（年龄1个月至16岁）液体难治性感染性休克患儿进行回顾性病历审查。我们根据20的临界值将队列分为两组，即高血管活性正性肌力评分组（H组）和低血管活性正性肌力评分组（L组）。
73%的患儿在L组。L组和H组的死亡率分别为44%和100%。
感染性休克患儿的高正性肌力评分与高死亡率相关。
