The purpose of this article is to describe the current outcome of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in PICU on the first day of admission. Design: Retrospective observational cohort study site: Admission records from the Virtual Pediatric Systems (VPS) database between January 2014 and December 2015. Object: This article analyzed 194017 consecutive PICU admitted children (aged 1 month to 18 years) in the VPS database from January 2014 to December 2015. Intervention: This article adopts the standards of the International Pediatric Sepsis Consensus Conference to confirm the MODS on Day 1 based on laboratory and vital sign values on Day 1. Evaluate functional status through the Pediatric Overall Performance Classification (POPC) and Pediatric Brain Function Classification (PCPC) scores at PICU admission and discharge. Measurement method and main results: The overall mortality rate of PICU was 2.1%. This article confirms that 14.4% of admitted cases develop MODS on the first day. The mortality rate of MODS patients is higher than that of non MODS patients (10.3% vs 0.7%, P<0.001), and the proportion of surviving patients with PCPC (3.6% vs 0.5%, P<0.001) or POPC (6.0% vs 1.8%, P<0.001) score deterioration ≥ grade 2 is higher. The odds ratio of mortality in MODS patients on the first day was 14.3 (95% CI 13-15.7), while the odds ratio of death or discharge with a POPC/CPC score of ≥ 3 (poor functional prognosis) was 6.7 (95% CI 6-7.4). The research subset was from 148 188 pediatric patients who recorded restrictive support decision hospitals, which was found in 5.8% of MODS patients, while only 0.8% of patients without MODS (P<0.001). On the first day of death, 43.1% of MODS patients received restrictive support decisions, and 41.6% gave up life support treatment (P<0.001). Conclusion: MODS patients on the first day of admission are still the main source of mortality and disability in PICU, but the risk of poor neurological prognosis may be improved. Further research is needed on restrictive support strategies and decisions to discontinue life support therapy in children with MODS on day 1.

Chinese Journal of Neurology was established in 1955, the predecessor of which is Chinese Journal of Neurology and Psychiatry. Chinese Journal of Neurology and Psychiatry has been indexed by MEDLINE until 1996, when it was divided into two journals, Chinese Journal of Neurology, and Chinese Journal of Psychiatry. Chinese Journal of Neurology is now indexed by EM, SCOPUS, AJ, WPRIM, CNKI, Wanfang Data, CSCD, etc. The impact factor of the journal is 2.755 in 2017, ranking the first among all neurological and psychological journals in China and among all the 142 medical journals published by the Chinese Medical Association.
