From: Prospective validation of pediatric disease severity scores to predict mortality in Ugandan children presenting with malaria and non-malaria febrile illness

Figure 2

Performance of SICK, LODS and PEDIA in discriminating between survivors and non-survivors. Forest plots showing unadjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for the individual signs included in SICK, LODS, and PEDIA as well as the odds ratios of the clinical scores themselves (derived from logistic regression models) with mortality as the dependent variable in all children (A ), children with malaria (B), and children with non-malaria febrile illness (NMFI, C). The associated receiver operating characteristic curves for A, B and C are shown in D, E and F. CI, confidence interval; LODS, Lambaréné Organ Dysfunction Score; PEDIA, Pediatric Early Death Index for Africa; SICK, Signs of Inflammation in Children that Kill.
