Main Article Content
Abstract
Backgroud: Sepsis in children is a serious globally health problem. Several scores have been used to assess the severity or predict mortality in sepsis. The recently developed Phoenix sepsis score shows many advantages in clinical practice. Objectives: 1. Description of clinical and paraclinical characteristics in children with sepsis at Children's Hospital of Can Tho City in the years 2024 – 2025. 2. Determination of the prognostic value of the Phoenix score in children with sepsis at Children's Hospital of Can Tho City in the years 2024–2025. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 42 children from 2 months to 16 years old diagnosed with sepsis hospitalized at Can Tho Children's Hospital. Results: The study showed that male patients accounted for 64.3%. There were 20 cases of septic shock, accounting for 47.6%. Sepsis from respiratory infection is the most common. There were 11 patients with positive blood cultures, accounting for 26.2%. The cut-off point in the mortality prognosis of the PSS is 4.5, sensitivity of 81.3% and specificity of 88.5%. Conclusion: Sepsis in children remains a serious condition, and the Phoenix score plays a useful role in predicting mortality.
