ABSTRACT:
Computer implemented processes are disclosed for quantifying the severity of condition of patients of a pediatric hospital or pediatric intensive care unit. The measure of severity of condition can be used to calculate a probability of death during hospitalization as well as the expected length of stay for a patient, given information gathered about the patient during the initial hours of hospitalization. This information may then be used to determine availability of beds and to provide objective measures of the quality of care provided by a pediatric hospital or part thereof.
