  1. Odds ratio (OR) for death is provided with a 95 % CI. The cumulative OR of death can be calculated as follows: (OR of PELOD-2 score on day 1)PELOD-2 score on day 1 × (OR of change in score from day 1 to specific day)PELOD-2 score on specific day – PELOD-2 score on day 1. For example, for a child whose score is 10 on day 1 and 6 on day 12 (change in score −4), the OR for death would be 1.3010 × 1.38−4 = 3.80
