Predictive Value of the Shock Index (SI) Compared to the Age-Adjusted Pediatric Shock Index (SIPA) for Identifying Children that Needed the Highest-Level Trauma Activation Based on the Presence of Consensus Criteria

Published: Reading: 1 min

Topic overview

Retrospective study comparing age-adjusted pediatric shock index (SIPA) to standard shock index (SI) for predicting need for highest-level trauma activation in 3,378 children. SIPA demonstrated higher accuracy (82% vs 57%) and specificity but poor sensitivity for both measures, suggesting neither is ideal as a standalone triage tool.
