New study aims to boost pediatric ICU efficiency and outcomes

NCT ID NCT05491018

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will collect data from over 13,000 children admitted to 14 French pediatric intensive care units. Researchers want to validate two existing severity scores (PIM3 and PRISM IV) and create a model that predicts both survival and cost of care. The goal is to help ICUs measure their clinical and economic performance more accurately.
