Comparative StudyMortality rates in pediatric septic shock with and without multiple organ system failure.
To determine the current mortality rates for pediatric patients with septic shock and the frequency and outcome of associated multiple organ system failure. ⋯ The mortality rate in pediatric septic shock is lower than has been previously reported. Oncologic illness in the absence of bone marrow transplantation does not appear to be associated with an increased mortality rate in children with septic shock. Bone marrow transplantation patients have an increased mortality rate compared with other patients with septic shock. Mortality from septic shock occurs most frequently in the context of multiple organ system failure.
