The Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) score was developed from the Physiologic Stability Index (PSI)

  • PRISM III, an updated version of the scoring system published in 1996, has several improvements over the original PRISM. However, it is only available under licence and is not widely used outside of the United States.
  • PRISM III score has 17 physiologic variables subdivided into 26 ranges. The variables most predictive of mortality were minimum systolic blood pressure, abnormal pupillary reflexes, and stupor/coma.
