Figure 1From: Effectiveness of predicting in-hospital mortality in critically ill children by assessing blood lactate levels at admission Receiver operating characteristic curves for the ability of blood lactate, PRISM III, and blood lactate combined with PRISM III to predict in-hospital mortality in generally critically ill children (n = 1109). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for blood lactate, PRISM III, and blood lactate combined with PRISM III were 0.79, 0.82 and 0.86, respectively, with a Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit p value >0.05.Back to article page
