Abstract
In a heterogeneous population of children undergoing cardiac surgery, the 48-hour VVR score was a very strong predictor of outcomes, and outperformed the more traditional vasoactive-inotrope score. The VVR score, therefore, represents a novel and potentially powerful means of predicting clinical outcomes relatively early in the hospital course of these patients.
