Descripción :	PD2iCA (Point Correlation Dimension) is a nonlinear time-dependent algorithm used for risk evaluation of cardiac death due to arrhythmia or pump failure. Although there are studies that proves the usefulness of PD2iCA, its utility has not been determined in the intensive care unit (ICU) Methods: This is a four months prospective cohort study of the utility of PD2iCA as prognostic score of mortality in the ICU. In each patient, the PD2iCA score was determined at time of admission following manufacturer’s guides. Subsequently, in order to determine mortality, patients were followed during hospitalization in ICU and until 30 days after discharge from the unit. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and relative risk were calculated.
