C-reactive Protein to Albumin Ratio and Fluid Overload as Predictors of Mortality in Comparison to Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) III Score in Critically Ill Children in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Prospective Cohort Study

CRP to albumin ratio is an inexpensive but statistically significant biomarker having comparable discriminatory power to that of PRISM III score for assessing critically ill children, and fluid imbalance is a significant indicator of duration of PICU stay.
