Core Tip
Core Tip: The mortality rate of children with acute paraquat intoxication (APP) was high. Early and accurate prediction of mortality is very important for children with APP in clinical decision-making. However, there is no scoring system that can be used to predict the mortality of children with APP. In our study, we discovered that alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and the pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) were independent prognostic risk factors for children with APP. ALT combined with the PCIS is an optimal predictive mortality scoring system for children with APP.
