Applicability of the Australian and New Zealand Paediatric Intensive Care Registry diagnostic codes and Paediatric Index of Mortality 2 scoring system in a Croatian paediatric intensive care unit

Between June 2002 and July 2004, admission data were prospectively collected for 591 consecutively admitted patients aged ≤ 18 years, excluding preterm infants. PIM2-based mortality risk was calculated according to the equations published in the literature. Diagnoses of all patients were classified according to the ANZPIC Registry Diagnostic Codes. Both PIM2 and ANZPIC Registry Diagnostic Codes are useful and applicable audit tools that facilitate and promote the desirable international comparisons of paediatric intensive care.
