Abstract Objectives To evaluate echocardiographic parameters, especially the Tei index as a predictor of outcome in critically ill children on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Methods This cohort study included all patients admitted at Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and underwent CRRT. Functional echocardiography Risk Mortality Index (PRISM) III were used to participants. Both Vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) estimated. Results The 35 with an age range 6 mo 14 y. indexes, VIS, PRISM reported predictors mortality sensitivity 88%, 83%, 94% specificity 73%, 79%, 89% respectively. In survivors, mean score, median values 0.44 ± 0.1, 3.8 (0–40), 12.06 3.35, However, non-survivors, index, 0.59 0.16, 0.60 (0–342.5), 22.94 8.93, Conclusions could be for poor outcomes receiving It is correlated VIS.
