AB  - AIMS: To compare the predictive ability of two risk assessment scales used in 
      children. BACKGROUND: There are several risk assessment scales (RASs) employed in 
      paediatric settings but most have been modified from adult scales such as the 
      Braden Q whereas the Glamorgan was an example of a scale designed for children. 
      METHODS: Using incidence data from 513 paediatric hospital admissions, receiver 
      operating characteristic (ROC) was employed to compare the two scales. The area 
      under the curve (AUC) was the outcome of interest. RESULTS: The two scales were 
      similar in this population in terms of area under the curve. Neonatal and 
      paediatric intensive care were similar in terms of AUC for both scales but in 
      general paediatric wards the Braden Q may be superior in predicting risk. 
      CONCLUSION: Either scale could be used if the predictive ability was the outcome 
      of interest. The scales appear to work well with neonatal, paediatric intensive 
      care and general children's wards. However the Glamorgan scale is probably 
      preferred by childrens' nurses as it is easy to use and designed for use in 
      children. There is some suggestion that while the two scales are similar in 
      intensive care, for general paediatrics the Braden Q may be the better scale.
