Abstract: Objective To evaluate the use of pediatric clinical illness score(PCIS) and pediatric risk of mortality(PRISM) in severe cases in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU). Methods 580 patients were divid-ed into groups according to PICS results, death and the numbers of organ failure. Severity, mortality were ana-lyzed. PRISM scores were also investigated in these groups respectively. Results The PRISM score of the ex-tremely-severe group was higher than that of the severe group and the non-severe group(P<0.01). The mean value of scores in death group was higher than that in survival group(P<0.01). The PRISM scores was in-creasing along with the growing numbers of organ failure (P<0.05). Conclusion Both PCIS and PRISM scores have good clinical value in assessing the severity and risk of death in patients in PICU.
