Risk scoring
Allan Wardhaugh
Why bother?
• Comparison of performance between units
• Used in RCT to adjust for case-mix
Standardised Mortality Ratio
• Measured mortality
• Predicted mortality – risk adjustment tool
• SMR = Measured/ Predicted
–  SMR > 1
– SMR < 1

Making a risk adjustment tool
Regression statistics
• Target variable – ‘dependent variable’
• Predictors – ‘independent variables’
• Regression statistics use association between
•
variables to predict one (DV) from another (IV).
Simplest form y = b0 + b1(x)
where y = predicted value, b0= regression constant, b1= regression
coefficient
• Multiple regression
y = b0+b1(x1)+b2(x2)+…bn(xn)
Regression statistics - logistic
• Linear multiple regression
– DV and IV quantitative
• For non-quantitative DV (e.g. dead/alive), logistic
regression is used
– Relationship with IV may be non-linear
• For each IV, odds are calculated for likelihood of having
•
DV
Odds very assymetrical
– very small number (0 – 1) if event unlikely
– very large if event likely (>1 - ∞)
• Rectified by using natural log off odds – called logit –
makes it a linear function
Regression statistics - logit
• Logit = b0+b1(x1)+b2(x2)+…bn(xn)
• Probability = odds/(1 + odds)
• Logit = ln odds

PRISM
• Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score
• 14 physiological variables
– Worst measurement in first 24 hours
– Now on PRISM III – relies on scores in first 12 or 24
hours
• Probability of PICU death
= eR/1 + eR
Where R = 0.207  PRISM – 0.005  age(mo) – 0.433  operative status – 4.782

PRISM - disadvantages
• Data collection cumbersome (14 variables
over a 24 hour period)
• May diagnose death rather than predict it
(40% deaths occur in first 24 hours)
• Score may not allow comparison between
units – patients poorly managed in first 24
hours will develop high PRISM score, so
disease severity will appear to be greater
PRISM III
PIM – Paediatric Index of Mortality
– initial cohorts
• 678 consecutive admissions PICU
RCHM 1988
• 814 consecutive admissions RCHM
1990
• 1412 consecutive admissions 1994–5
RCHM
PIM – identifying variables
• Data collected for admission (for
most) and first 24 hours
• 34 Physiological Stability Index
measurements
• MAP, PIP, PEEP, and others
• Worst value in first 24 hours for all
PIM – derivation of model
• All PRISM data collected plus additional
information
• Univariate analysis carried out on all
factors to test for association with
mortality (Chi squared dichotomous variables, Copas
p by x plots continuous variables)
• Factors not associated (p>0.1) excluded
from further analysis
• Logistic regression analysis used to derive
preliminary model.
PIM – testing the model
• Learning and Test cohorts
– 1994 – 96
5695 patients in 8 PICUs (Australia, Birmingham)
• Enough patients in each unit to include 20 deaths.
• Learning sample data analysed to calculate regression
•
•
•
coefficients
Model then tested on test sample, and examined for
goodness of fit.
Regression coefficients re-estimated using all 8 units for
final model.
Risk of death assigned to 5 groups - <1%, 1–4%, 5–
14%, 15–29% and 30%

PIM and PRISM compared
• Variables used by PIM
that are not used by
PRISM are
– presence of a specified
diagnosis
– use of mechanical
ventilation
– plasma base excess
• Variables used by PRISM
that are not used by PIM
– diastolic blood pressure,
heart rate
– respiratory rate, pCO2
– the Glasgow Coma Score
(three separate variables)
– prothrombin time, serum
bilirubin, serum potassium,
serum calcium, blood
glucose and plasma
bicarbonate
PRISM vs PIM
• PRISM predicted 66% more deaths in this

•

Score altered by treatment in the first 24 hours

PRISM III data requires 96 measured variables

Note that neither are adequate fro individual
case prediction – apply to populations only
PIM - recalibration
• PICU outcomes change with time
• Referral patterns change with time
• Attitudes to withdrawing and limiting care
may change with time
PIM 2
• 14 PICUs
– 8 Australia
– 4 UK
– 2 NZ
• 20 787 patients 1997-1998
• Units randomly assigned to be learning
sample or testing sample for new model
PIM 2
• PIM applied to new population (all units)
– Observed to expected deaths
• Poorly performing variables altered to make
•
•
prediction better
Re-tested by forward and backward logistic
regression to produce new model
New model applied to learning sample –
coeffciients adjusted and applied to testing
sample
Calibration findings
• Specific diagnosis
– Resp illness O:E 160:212
– Non-cardiac post-op O:E 48:82
• 293 coded diagnostic categories examined
– In-hospital cardiac arrest associated with increaed risk of death
– Asthma. Bronchiolitis, croup, obstructive sleep apnoea, DKA
associated with reduced risk
• New ‘high risk’ and ‘low risk’ categories introduced
• Post – op subdivided into with or without CBP.
• IQ <35 omitted (difficult to code reliably)
SMR
• Australia and New Zealand SMR 0.84
(0.76–0.92)
• UK 0.89 (0.77–1.00).

Control limits
Mortality ratio calculated using the UK PICOS calibration of PIM in the UK.
Upper and lower control limits represent a 99.9% confidence interval around a mortality ratio of 1 based on the
UK PICOS overall mortality of 6.2%..
Phase I outcome
• PRISM III 24 hour score re-calibrated for
UK
• Performance of PIM-2 and PRISM III very
similar
• PIM – 2 recommended as model of choice
as data easier to collect
• DoH/ WAG funded
• Run from Universities of Sheffield, Leicester and
•
Leeds
First annual report March 2003 – February 2004
PELOD
• Death is relatively infrequent outcome
(6%) in PICU
– Sample sizes needed for trials need to be
large to detect different outcomes
• MODS more prevalent (11 – 27%)
– Correlates well with risk of death
– Good proxy outcome measure for risk of
death
PELOD
• Prospective study – 7 PICUS France,
Canada, Switzerland
• 18months 11998 – 2000
• 1806 patients (<18yrs)
probability of death=1/(1+exp [7·64–0·30PELOD score])
League tables
• Governments like them
• Journalists like them
• Local politicians like them
• Patients groups like them
Do any of the above understand them?
• 9 NICUs over 6 years
• Crude and risk adjusted (CRIB score)
mortality
• Hospitals ranked in league tables each
year according to W score
– W= 100  (observed - expected deaths)/No of
admissions.
– Mortality lower than expected if W < 0
Results
Conclusions
• Hospitals varied annually in their league position
• Confidence intervals for W scores overlapped for
•
all hospital every year except year 3
‘Overall, hospital 1 did perform significantly
better than expected but it is debatable whether
this makes it a model hospital since its
performance was inconsistent’.
Summary
• PIM/ PIM 2 data easy to collect
• Useful in comparing unit performance
• Interpret with care if number of deaths low
•
•
•
•
(especially <20).
Not for use as an individual prediction test
Important to complete as accurately as possible
PICANET randomly check to ensure data quality
League tables are unreliable
