Abstract

Conclusion: Both scores had excellent discrimination. PELOD-2 is reproducible and easier to perform and had better calibration compared to PELOD score. What is Known: • Pediatric logistic organ dysfunction (PELOD) score was developed 1999 and validated in 2003 to describe the organ dysfunction severity in pediatric intensive care units. • A new and easier version of (PELOD-2) was developed 2013 in France and Belgium to replace the old score. It is important to assess the performance of the new score in other population else than the original. What is New: In an Egyptian pediatric intensive care, the performance of the score revealed: • PELOD-2 was an excellent discriminatory score comparable to the original score. • PELOD-2 calibrated well in the Egyptian population while the old score had poor calibration.
