Discriminative value of VRI and PELOD-2 in predicting mortality in paediatric septic shock patients
| Performance predictor | VRI ≤32.1 | PELOD-2 ≥11 |
| Sensitivity, % (95% CI) | 87.50 (71.01 to 96.49) | 34.40 (18.57 to 53.19) |
| Specificity, % (95% CI) | 88.90 (73.94 to 96.89) | 97.20 (85.47 to 99.93) |
| PPV, % (95% CI) | 87.50 (73.36 to 94.68) | 91.70 (60.03 to 98.77) |
| NPV, % (95% CI) | 88.89 (76.05 to 95.27) | 62.50 (56.32 to 68.30) |
| LR+, % (95% CI) | 7.25 (1.50 to 15.9) | 11.33 (1.00 to 12.00) |
| LR−, % (95% CI) | 0.14 (0.10 to 1.34) | 1.46 (0.30 to 5.36) |
| AUC % (95% CI) | 95 (90 to 100) | 92.6 (86.40 to 98.80) |
| P value | <0.001 | <0.001 |
AUC, area under the curve; LR−, negative likelihood ratio; LR+, positive likelihood ratio; NPV, negative predictive value; PELOD-2, Paediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction 2; PPV, positive predictive value; VRI, Vascular Reactivity Index.
