Prospective External Validation of the Pediatric Risk Assessment Score in Predicting Perioperative Mortality in Children Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Early identification of children at high risk for perioperative mortality could lead to improved outcomes; however, there is a lack of well-validated risk prediction tools. The Pediatric Risk Assessment (PRAm) score is a new model to prognosticate perioperative risk of mortality in pediatric patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. It was derived from the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) Pediatric database. In this study, we aimed t… Show more

“…Children with surgical bleeding were substantially younger than those with bleeding due to trauma and medical causes. This is likely due to the combined surgical risk of young age and the type of procedures performed in young children, in particular, surgery for congenital deformities (e.g., craniofacial, heart, and liver) and neoplasms (e.g., neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor) (26)(27)(28). The effect of age-related maturation of the hemostatic system when considering approaches to life-threatening bleeding has not been thoroughly studied.…”

“…Complexity of clinical status in the context of other comorbidities was assessed using two scoring systems: American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) (16) and Pediatric Risk Assessment (PRAm) (17)(18)(19) scores at the time of EA repair surgery. Assigning an ASA Physical Status classification level is a clinical decision based on several factors (16) and represents the most commonly used assessment of system level disease severity by anesthesiologists (Figure 3A-Table).…”

“…The primary goal of this study addresses the severity of EA disease as a blueprint for a subsequent myriad of caregiving conditions that might impose challenges to developing infants born with EA. Specifically, we conducted a retrospective analysis at a single institution to analyze incidence of EA by severity of disease using American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) (16) and Pediatric Risk Assessment (PRAm) (17)(18)(19) scores in the context of (i) sex, (ii) gestational age (term-born and premature), (iii) anatomical classification of EA types, and (iv) the type of surgical repair (viz. direct anastomosis vs. Foker Abbreviations: ASA, American Society of Anesthesiologist; EA, Esophageal atresia; CHARGE, Coloboma, Heart defects, choanal Atresia, growth Retardation, Genital abnormalities, and Ear abnormalities; PRAm, Pediatric Risk Assessment; TEF, Tracheo-esophageal fistula; VACTERL, Vertebral, Anorectal, Cardiac, Tracheo-esophageal fistula and/or Esophageal atresia, Renal, and Limb defects/malformations.…”
