• Serum NGAL levels, PICU is measured within the first hour of entry, prism III score in pediatric patients in predicting mortality and severity of sepsis. > An NGAL cutoff of 599 mg/mL is significantly associated with mortality risk, which provides a rapid, independent and more immediate immunity tool for important care decision making.
