The Phoenix Sepsis Score Criteria in Critically Ill Children: Evaluation Using a Retrospective, Single-Center PICU Cohort in China, 2019–2024
In our single-center PICU cohort (2019-2024) from China, among patient encounters with suspected or confirmed infection, the PSS showed good discriminatory ability in identifying sepsis or septic shock. It also outperformed the IPSCC criteria and the pSOFA score in classifying in-hospital mortality. These analyses support the potential utility of the PSS for risk stratification in our international PICU setting.
