Fig 3 Postoperative day 1 (POD1) pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM) score and outcomes. Mortality: median POD1 PRISM score 17 (range, 8 to 39) for patients who died versus 25 (range, 17 to 36) for patients who lived (p < 0.0001). Complications: median POD1 PRISM score 17 (range, 10 to 31) versus 24 (range, 8 to 39), respectively (p < 0.0001) Reinterventions: median POD1 PRISM score 17 (range, 10 to 29) versus 24 (range, 8 to 39), respectively (p = 0.001).
