Abstract: Standardized clinical measurements of edema do not exist. To describe a 19-point clinical edema score (CES), investigate its interobserver agreement, and compare changes between such CES and body weight. Prospective observational study in a tertiary PICU of mechanically ventilated children with congenital heart disease. Differences in the median CES between observer groups. We studied 61 children, with a median age of 8.0 days (interquartile range, 1.0-14.0 d). A total of 539 CES were performed by three observer groups (medical 1 [reference], medical 2, and bedside nurse) at 0, 24, and 48 hours from enrollment. Overall, there was close agreement between observer groups in mean, median, and upper quartile of CES scores, with least agreement observed in the lower quartile of scores. Across all quartiles of CES, after adjusting for baseline weight, cardiac surgical risk, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, or peritoneal dialysis during the study, observer groups returned similar mean scores (medical 2: 25th centile +0.1 [95% CI, -0.2 to 0.5], median +0.6 [95% CI, -0.4 to 1.5], 75th centile +0.1 [95% CI, -1.1 to 1.4] and nurse: 25th centile +0.5 [95% CI, 0.0-0.9], median +0.7 [95% CI, 0.0-1.5], 75th centile -0.2 [95% CI, -1.3 to 1.0]) Within a multivariable mixed-effects linear regression model, including adjustment for baseline CES, each 1 point increase in CES was associated with a 12.1 grams (95% CI, 3.2-21 grams) increase in body weight. In mechanically ventilated children with congenital heart disease, three groups of observers tended to agree when assessing overall edema using an ordinal clinical score assessed in six body regions, with agreement least at low edema scores. An increase in CES was associated with an increase in body weight, suggesting some validity for quantifying edema. Further exploration of the CES as a rapid clinical tool is indicated.
