Correlation of Troponin Level (Troponin T, Troponin I) With PELOD-2 Score in Sepsis as a Predictive Factor of Mortality.

BACKGROUND: Sepsis in children with cardiovascular involvement can increase mortality. Recently, many studies have been conducted to investigate troponin as an early marker of myocardial dysfunction, associated with pediatric sepsis score. Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction 2 (PELOD-2) score is recent scoring to assess organ dysfunction in sepsis children.
