  1. Odds ratio (OR) for death are given with 95 % CI. The cumulative OR of death was calculated as follows: (OR of pediatric logistic organ dysfunction (PELOD) score on day1) × (OR for change in score from day1 to specified day). For example, for a child whose score is 10 on day1 and 5 on day12, the change in score is −5; the OR for death would be 16.60 = ((1.5110) × (1.3−5)). For a child whose score is 4 on day 1 and 10 on day 8, the change in score is 6; in this instance, the OR for death would be 34.37 = ((1.514 × 1,376))
