Abstract

Background: Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) remains a predominant cause of mortality in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). While the Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) score is the established standard for assessing severity, it requires time-consuming serial calculations. There is an urgent need for a rapid, admission-based prognostic biomarker. This study evaluates the association between serum procalcitonin (PCT) and the severity of organ dysfunction in critically ill children. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital, Indonesia, involving 25 children aged 1 month to 18 years with suspected infection. Organ dysfunction was quantified using the PELOD-2 score, and serum PCT was measured via Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) within 24 hours of admission. Statistical analysis utilized Spearman’s rank correlation, multivariate linear regression, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: The cohort had a median age of 12 months. The median PCT level was 0.88 ng/mL. A significant positive correlation was observed between serum PCT and PELOD-2 scores (r = 0.39, p = 0.051; multivariate beta = 0.42, p = 0.043). ROC analysis identified a PCT threshold of greater than 11 ng/mL as the optimal indicator for moderate-to-severe organ dysfunction (AUC 0.82). Patients exceeding this threshold had a significantly elevated risk (Risk Ratio = 2.20; 95 percent CI: 1.15–4.24; p = 0.035). Conclusion: Early serum procalcitonin measurement serves as a powerful independent factor associated with organ dysfunction severity. A cutoff value of greater than 11 ng/mL significantly stratifies risk, allowing clinicians to anticipate the progression of organ failure.

Abstract

In order to implement the Higher Education Tri Dharma, especially community service, Kader Bangsa University Palembang organized a KKN program in Pengabuan Village, PALI Regency. This activity aims to assist the community in utilizing existing resources, with an emphasis on increasing awareness and practice of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS). Through participatory and observational approaches, this activity aims to increase community awareness, especially those in Pengabuan Village, about the importance of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior for health and environmental cleanliness. The results show that there is community interest in the importance of health and environmental cleanliness because the outreach activities carried out received great attention. This Community service activities also identifies the challenges faced and provides recommendations for the development of future KKN programs
